Similar to carpet, upholstery needs to be professionally cleaned in order to maintain its value and longevity. Additionally, upholstery functions as an allergen-trapping filter, especially if the property has pets, children, or significant foot traffic.
- Dust mites may not be visible, but their presence doesn’t go unnoticed when it comes to our health. The corpses of dust mites litter the surfaces of couches, chairs, and rugs, especially in crevices. The decaying bodies of these mites are what allergy-sufferers most often react to.
- Vacuuming only temporarily removes a portion of the dust mite population, and has minimal effects on removing fragrances, chemical fumes, smoke, mold spores, and pollen.
