Homeowners often do not look beyond their carpet when it comes to maintaining interior fabrics. Upholstery and draperies are often never cleaned because they don’t look visibly dirty. However, the same soils that fall out of the air and onto the carpet and other horizontal surfaces in your home also fall out onto the upholstery and are filtered through the draperies.
Studies show that upholstered fabrics should be cleaned every three years and if there are smokers in the home or pets, they should be cleaned once a year. Some upholstered fabrics can easily be wet cleaned whereas other more delicate fabrics must be dry cleaned.
