How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Furniture?

Did you know that your furniture is a breeding ground for thousands of germs and bacteria? According to studies, humans shed between 0.03 and 0.09 grams of skin per hour, amounting to approximately 35 kilograms over your lifetime. These dead skins then accumulate in your most used furniture, such as sofas, beds, and carpets, feeding dust mites and other allergens. In the long run, not only will this make your furniture dirty and uncomfortable, but it may also cause allergies and sickness in people. making it necessary to engage in regular home sanitization and furniture deep cleanings.

 

Upholstery and Carpets

Sofas are a must-have in every living room. They not only provide seating for your family and guests, but they also serve as a place to eat, a bed for pets, and even a fabric for guests to wipe their hands behind your back. With all these uses, studies have shown that sofa arms alone may contain twelve times more bacteria than an average toilet seat. The same also goes for carpets, which may contain 1 lb. of dirt every square inch and still look clean.

To help extend the life of your upholstery and carpets and keep them clean both on the surface and underneath, professional upholstery and carpet deep cleanings should be done at least once or twice each year. However, if you begin to notice a damp smell coming out from these furniture, or if they are habitually used by children and pets, more frequent cleanings are recommended. Just let your deep cleaning company in Dubai know, and they can make arrangements as to how often these should be cleaned.

 

Mattresses

Mattresses are one of the most important furniture you can ever have. This is where you rest and sleep, affecting your day-to-day lifestyle and mood. However, as you spend your time lounging in bed, dead skin and dust may start to accumulate underneath the surface, making it a breeding ground for dust mites. In the long run, not only will this affect the quality of your sleep, but also your overall health and wellbeing as you become exposed to allergens. 

To avoid the adverse effects that dirty mattresses can cause to your health and wellbeing, engaging in mattress sanitizing services every six months is a great way to keep germs and bacteria from accumulating in their surfaces and underneath. It is also more ideal to have it done in the morning to give you better and more comfortable sleep at night.
