Couches take daily abuse: feet, snacks, pets, children and years of body oils. Because the dirt builds up slowly, it is easy to stop noticing it. Here are five signs it is time for a professional deep clean.
- Dull, darkened patches on the arms and seat, where body oils and dirt collect.
- Lingering smells. If the couch still smells stale after airing the room, the odour is in the fabric.
- Stains that wiping will not lift. Old or set-in marks need proper pre-treatment and extraction.
- A rough or gritty feel. Trapped dust and grit can make fabric feel harsher and wear it faster.
- Sneezing when you sit down. Dust trapped in upholstery can aggravate allergies.
Looking after your couch between cleans
- Vacuum weekly, including under and between the cushions.
- Rotate and plump cushions so wear is even.
- Keep the couch out of strong direct sunlight, which can fade fabric.
- Blot spills quickly instead of rubbing them.
