Why Upholstery Is Not Cleaned Like Carpet
Giving general advice on spot cleaning upholstery is far harder than for carpet. Upholstery fabrics are made from a wide variety of natural and synthetic fibers or blends, and the dyes and finishes used on them can be extremely sensitive to certain cleaning solutions. Without knowing how to test the safety of a particular solution and method, a consumer risks setting the stain, bleeding the color or leaving a permanent ring. That is the single most common way a small spill becomes a large repair.
What Manufacturer Cleaning Codes Mean
Most upholstered furniture carries a cleaning code on a tag beneath the cushion.
W means water based cleaning solutions may be used
S means solvent only, no water
WS means either water based or solvent methods are suitable
X means vacuum only, with no liquid of any kind
These codes are a guide rather than a guarantee, which is why we still test an inconspicuous area first. Many pieces labeled dry clean only can be cleaned safely by a trained technician using the correct method.

Allergens and Household Dust
Upholstery holds dust, dander and skin cells in the same way carpet does, and in Arizona it also holds fine desert dust carried in on clothing. For households with allergy or asthma sufferers, cleaning the sofa matters as much as cleaning the floor. Cleaning the upholstery and the carpet on the same visit makes a noticeable difference to the dust load in a home.
How Often Should Upholstery Be Cleaned?
Every twelve to twenty four months for a sofa in regular family use, and more often where pets sit on the furniture or someone in the home has allergies. Body oils transfer from skin and hair into the fabric at headrests and arms long before the piece looks dirty, and once those oils oxidize they darken and become much harder to remove. Cleaning on a schedule rather than waiting for visible soil is what keeps a sofa looking presentable for years rather than tired inside three.
