Should Sofa & Mattress Be Dry Cleaned?

Just like any other upholstery, sofa and mattress require regular cleaning and maintaining. Without proper cleaning, you are likely to see lots of dust coming from your seat cushions when you sit on them. It is even possible for your mattresses to emit a foul smell since your body discharges a lot of sweat when you sleep at night. You will agree that it isn��t possible to change your sofas and mattress time and again, the only way to ensure they are clean and bug free is through regular cleaning. Wet cleaning for mattresses and sofas can take ages before they dry up, which will be highly inconvenient. Therefore, the only convenient method is dry cleaning.

Sofa and Mattress Dry Cleaning Process

The first thing you should do is remove the cushion and pillow covers off your sofa and mattress, and then wash them separately. Pour an even layer of washing powder all over your cushions and mattress; then give it approximately 15 minutes to absorb any bad odors and spillages. Using your vacuum cleaner, attach the upholstery cleaner at the end and brush your mattress or sofa to help remove as much dirt as possible.

Since it is difficult for the vacuum cleaner to absorb dirt from both sides of the mattress, it is highly advisable that you use vacuum clean on both sides. The likelihood of having stains on your sofa and mattress is high and you should find a good way to remove them without necessarily wetting your upholstery. You should be armed with the right upholstery cleaning products for such situations. Spray the product on any stained spots and give it some time to absorb them.

Compared to the mattress, it is easier to change and clean on a more regular basis.
