While upholstery doesn't attract the same amount of soiling as carpeting, it should be vacuumed and cleaned regularly. Since we don't walk on our furniture (unless there are children in the house), the oily abrasive soils that affect carpets are not predominant on our favorite couch or chair.

However, since we do spend a great deal of time sitting, soil from our clothing and oil from our skin can find their way to the same areas time after time. This leads to harmful build-up of deposits that, by the time they become apparent, may have already caused irreversible staining or deterioration.

Dust Mites and Allergies

If you already have allergies, or are concerned about your children developing allergies, the professional cleaning of your upholstery becomes even more important. Dust mites, those little eight-legged creatures that live on our soft furniture, mattresses, and carpet, are essentially spiders that make us sneeze and wheeze. They feed on dead human skin scales which all of us shed on a consistent basis.   

When you vacuum and dust, you stir up all the droppings from these little critters (which are an extremely potent allergen), and this can bring on the sneezing and wheezing. It can even hapen just by plopping down on the couch or when your little one uses the couch as a trampoline.

Go ahead and give the armrest on that comfy couch a good slap. Did you see a little "poof" cloud? You guessed it! There's your dust mites and all their food-skin scales, dust, and droppings!

When you call Red Carpet Floor Care to clean your upholstery, be sure to ask about adding our Allergy Relief Treatment. You'll breathe easier, not to mention how much brighter and fresher your furniture will look and feel!

Don't Take Unnecessary Chances With Your Upholstery!

Don't take unnecessary chances with your upholstery if you plan on keeping it for a while. Trust the cleaning to the expertise and experience of a professional.

Since there are over 4,000 different types of fabrics being used on upholstered furniture, some dry clean only, using the improper cleaning approach may result in color bleeding, fading or shrinkage.

Red Carpet Floor Care is certified by the IICRC to clean almost any type of fiber.  We test the fabric for colorfastness and determine exactly how your piece should be cleaned. The fabric is pre-vacuumed, pre-treated, and then super-cleaned using our new upholstery tool that shears away soil leaving the fabric cleaner and 50% drier and without any overspray.

Cleaning fabrics that in the past could only be dry-cleaned is now a patented reality.

Our trucks carry a wide variety of pre-conditioners including one used for allergy treatment, in addition to the tools needed to perform the proper cleaning. No bragging - just fact - we are some of the best upholstery cleaners in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area!
