Upholstered furniture comes in various types of fabrics, it is important that we determine what type it is. This gives us the ability to clean it properly. Even if you don’t choose us. Please be sure when you get a quote, make certain that the company is taking this under consideration! Here’s a final note: If they use the wrong cleaning agents they will ruin the fibers and possibly the entire piece of furniture.
"Most people don't realize just how soiled
their upholstered furniture really is...
and how much contaminated dirt, pollen,
ash, dust mite feces, perspiration (sweat)
and nasty grunge hides in the cushions.
Today's fabrics are designed to HIDE contaminents with patterns and colors.
But just because you can't see all of these contaminants, doesn't mean it's not there!
(Trust me on this it's there!)" John K. Roberts, Owner
How Does Upholstered Furniture Get So Dirty? and Why Doesn't it Seem to Show?
Lets Take a Look at the Reasons Why...
DUST is the #1 enemy of upholstered furniture. Gritty matter blows in through open doors and windows and impregnates itself on your furniture cushions and back. Then when you sit on the cushion, the oils from your skin compress the dirt into the fabric where it's almost impossible to remove with vacuum cleaning.
ABRASIVE ACTION of grit pressing into the fibers CUTS the fibers like a knife - that's why your furniture wears out. Especially on the arms of the furniture, this area gets the most wear. Then combine this with pollens, food crumbs, dust mites and their nasty fecal pellets...your furniture is literally awash with soil within the short span of just a year (with an average family).
BACTERIA AND GERMS are the result of soils that are not removed from furniture on a regular basis. The byproduct of decaying living materials decomposing is a foul smell that characterizes furniture that has not been cleaned regularly.
WHY DOESN'T DIRT SHOW? Because today's fabrics are designed to HIDE dirt with patterns and colors...But just because it doesn't show doesn't mean it's not there! (Trust me on this, it's there!)
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE CLEANED?
If you're a retired couple and live in your home 6 months a year...probably every 2 or 3 years. If you have an active family with 3-5 kids and pets - I suggest at least twice a year.
WHY PROFESSIONAL CLEANING?
Because Healthy Home Plus uses special cleaning agents that sanitize and remove soil from your fabric furniture with up to 230 degree hot water and professional cleaning products, tools, and techniques.
MANY FABRICS ARE DELICATE
If you try to spot clean furniture, you can RUIN it by not getting it evenly wet. We have seen many instances of damage done to furniture by clients who've tried to clean it themselves.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Most furniture cleaning is done by the linear foot, but factors such as soil conditions and the difficulty of the piece affect the price. Just like carpet cleaning and all of or services, we will give you a written quote before any work is started.
IS PROTECTANT NECESSARY?
You benefit by having us apply a Fiber Protectant any time we clean your carpets, rugs and furniture. Our protectant makes it more difficult for spills, spots, and stains to PENETRATE to the interior of the fibers (where they cause permanent color change). The protectant keeps messes on the surface where they can be more easily cleaned.
Some fabrics have protectant applied during the manufacturing process. The protectants degrade over time with use and cleaning. These protectants need to be "refreshed" from time to time.

In Case You Were Wondering If Your Upholstered Furniture
Would Benefit from a Thorough Professional Cleaning...
TRY THESE 4 SIMPLE TESTS AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!
HERE ARE FOUR TESTS YOU CAN DO YOURSELF TO DETERMINE IF YOUR UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE NEEDS PROFESSIONAL CLEANING:
TEST #1: THE "SLAP TEST" - Surface dust
Place a bright light over the top of one of your sofa cushions and using a stick (like a paint mixing stick or wooden spoon) whack the cushion 2-3 times. Observe the amount of dust that is released into the air. If your see a cloud of dust, your furniture needs to be cleaned.
TEST #2: THE BLACK CLOTH TEST - Embebbed particulate
Use your vacuum cleaner attatchment nozzle and take a piece of thin black cloth and rubber band it to the end of the vacuum hose - let it drape into the hose a little way. Put the upholstery tool on the end of the hose. Now turn the vacuum on and run it across the top of the cushion. Take off the upholstery tool and observe all the dead skin, dander, and other particles.
TEST #3: THE WHITE TOWEL TEST - Protein soils
Take a small amount of windex and spray it on a white terry cloth towel. Now briskly scrub it across one of your seat cushions or arm covers. Look at the towel. Any Questions?
TEST #4: THE SNIFF TEST - Malodors
Completely exhale. Place your nose 3 inches above the seat cushions and waft the surface air to your nose using one hand in a fanning motion. Do you notice any odors? Soil accumulations foster bacterial growth that feed on the contaminants and creatures living in the fibers of your furniture fabrics. If your furniture smells funky it's an indication that it should be professionally cleaned as soon as possible.
