What’s Lurking in Your Living Room? The Dirty Truth About Upholstery

Ever plop down on your couch after a long day, take a deep breath, and think, “Ahh… home sweet home”? Well, we hate to break it to you, but that comfy couch might be hiding more than just your spare change and the TV remote. 😬

Let’s take a closer look at what’s really going on inside your favorite furniture—and why giving your upholstery a professional clean could be the best decision you make this year.

The Hidden Guests You Never Invited

Couches and upholstered chairs are like the sponges of your living space. Over time, they collect:

  • Dust and dirt

  • Pet dander and fur

  • Sweat and body oils

  • Food crumbs and drink spills

  • And yes… dust mites (yikes!)

If you live in neighborhoods like North Park, Point Loma, or Pacific Beach, where open windows and salty breezes are the norm, you’re even more likely to see faster buildup of airborne grime on soft surfaces.

What’s the Big Deal?

You might not see the dirt, but your nose (and allergies) sure can tell it's there. Dirty upholstery can contribute to:
✅ Worsened allergy or asthma symptoms
✅ Musty odors in your living room
✅ Shortened furniture lifespan
✅ A not-so-fresh first impression

So… How Often Should You Clean Your Upholstery?

We recommend a professional clean once a year, or more frequently if you’ve got:

  • Kids (hello, juice spills)

  • Pets (fur babies = fur tumbleweeds)

  • Allergies or respiratory concerns

  • High traffic from guests or entertaining
