With the chaos of Christmas and the party season fast approaching, if you haven’t already started preparing, it’s time to bite the bullet – especially if you are hosting. With friends and family coming to join you, the pressure is on to create a clean, inviting and pleasant space for everyone to enjoy. However, with the influx of guests, the party spirit and free flowing food and drink, there is a guaranteed increase of opportunities for spills, food mishaps, and footprints to appear on upholstery and carpets.

So, when is it best to have your carpets professionally cleaned? Before or after the holiday season?

The question of whether to invest in carpet and sofa cleaning before or after the holidays is a common dilemma. You may assume that post-festivities carpet cleaning is the best; however, there are benefits to a pre-Christmas professional carpet cleaning service.

Advantages of carpet cleaning before the holidays

You want your home to look it’s best and be a nice environment for your loved ones to spend their time in. Naturally, this aspiration prompts the need for a meticulous pre-arrival cleaning routine. Professional carpet cleaning makes the biggest impact on home cleanliness and hygiene, and the good news is you don’t have to lift a finger. Using only eco-friendly products and the hot water extraction cleaning method to agitate and extract dirt, the drying time is quick and convenient.

Easier stain removal with pre-holiday carpet cleaning

If your carpets already have vacuum cleaner resistant dirt and stains, having extra foot traffic exacerbates the issues. Carpets already embedded with dirt and left untreated cause stains to seep deeper into the fibres and result in old carpet and upholstery stains becoming more of a challenge to remove and, in the worst-case scenarios, a risk of causing permanent damage.

Eliminate odours through pre-holiday cleaning

Carpets rather notoriously retain odours from a multitude of daily activities such as cooking, pet-related accidents, and smoking. If your home suffers from damp, the excess moisture leads to the growth of mould which develops a musty smell. These household smells are removed through professional carpet cleaning.

Enjoy stress-free festivities with before Christmas carpet cleaning

Immersed playing with new toys, young children typically spend hours sitting and lying on the floor, so preparing your carpets and upholstery before festive visits works well.

The knowledge you've rid the carpet pile of all dirt and allergens allows you to fully relax and enjoy quality time with your family.

Unveiling the dirty truth: it’s time to clean your sofa

21 Apr, 2024

If you had to name the dirtiest place in your home, where would you say? The kitchen? The bathroom? These areas of the home are top of the list, but they tend to be diligently cleaned because they are famed as harbourers of bacteria, germs and allergens. However, one place that is often overlooked is upholstered furniture which surprisingly, if left untreated, is equally as likely to cause health problems. Unclean upholstery is a breeding ground for allergy triggers such as dust mites, pollen, and moulds, which cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions in humans and pets. Cleaning upholstery removes these hazardous microbes, creating a healthier indoor environment for your family. While professional upholstery cleaning services deliver the best visual and hygiene results, you can clean your upholstered furniture between professional cleanings. 7 Steps to clean a fabric couch and chairs Always check the manufacturer’s instructions and the fabric care codes before undertaking any upholstery cleaning. It’s crucial the recommended cleaning methods are followed for the specific fabric. Fabric care codes include: · W for water-based cleaning · S for solvent based cleaning · WS for water or solvent-based cleaning · X denotes professional upholstery cleaning only. Note: the steps below should only be followed for upholstery displaying W or WS fabric care codes. If possible, remove the cushion covers. Wash cushion covers on a cold/gentle cycle or handwash (always check manufacturer’s instructions). Paying attention to every nook and crevice and using the attachments, thoroughly vacuum the entire couch. Sprinkle bicarb over the sofa and leave for half an hour before vacuuming the residue. For stubborn stains and grubby ‘high traffic’ areas such as the arms or where the dog sits , you can make a bicarb paste. The bicarb’s mild abrasive nature helps lift stains but also neutralises odours. Make a DIY sofa cleaning solution by mixing equal parts of white vinegar and water. Spritz the upholstery until it is damp taking care not to oversoak or drench. Using a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe the soiled sofa fabric surface and allow to air dry
