Why Upholstery Needs Professional Cleaning

Vacuuming your sofa or wiping down your armchair might seem enough — but fabric furniture is different from other surfaces. Upholstery traps dust, dirt, allergens, and even bacteria deep within its fibers. Over time, spilled liquids, pet dander, and everyday use make it:

• Unhygienic

• Stained or discolored

• Bad-smelling

Professional upholstery cleaning goes beyond surface-level appearance. It sanitizes the fabric, removes allergens, restores original colors, and even extends the life of your furniture. And in Charlotte's humid climate, regular deep cleaning also helps prevent mold and mildew.

The Importance of Cleaning Codes

Before starting the cleaning process, our service expert at LCM Company identifies your item’s cleaning code — usually located on the tag:

Choosing the wrong method can damage your furniture permanently. That’s why our technicians are trained to always follow the manufacturer’s specifications.

When to Call a Professional Upholstery Cleaner

Here are some signs that it’s time to schedule professional upholstery cleaning in Charlotte:

• You notice odors coming from your couch or armchairs

• Stains aren’t lifting with basic spot cleaning

• Family members have allergies that flare up indoors

• Furniture looks dull even after vacuuming

• You’ve had your furniture for over a year without cleaning

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to contact LCM Company — Charlotte’s trusted experts in upholstery care.

Dangers of DIY Upholstery Cleaning

Many store-bought machines and cleaning sprays promise professional results. But DIY methods often do more harm than good:

• Most rental machines lack the suction power to fully extract water

• Excess moisture can lead to:

  • Mold growth

  • Mildew odor

  • Additional staining

• The wrong detergent can bleach or discolor your fabric

At LCM Company, we use powerful truck-mounted and portable systems that safely clean your furniture and remove 99.9% of moisture, leaving it fresh and residue-free.
