What are the signs my upholstery needs a professional deep clean?

Sometimes there's simply nothing better than slinking into your spot on your favourite sofa or armchair after a long day.

But whilst you may take every effort to keep your most loved upholstered furniture in good condition, over time, even the best-kept upholstery can start to show signs of wear and tear - not to mention the inevitable occasional food or drink stain!

It's also natural for them to accumulate dirt, dust, and other allergens within their fibres, especially on the most-used furniture.

Even if you look after your upholstery as much as possible, often the signs they need proper care and attention can be very subtle. This makes it easy to overlook when they really could do with a professional deep clean.

If you're unsure what these signs are, read on as we detail the four key indicators to look out for. This will help you decide whether your favourite upholstered items require more than just a little bit of TLC.

1. Stains and spots becoming more noticeable

We'll start with the most visually obvious telltale sign. Whether it's from food, drink, or even your clothes, it's inevitable that well-used upholstered furniture will bear the brunt of its fair share of spills and stains. Some of these stains might fade with a quick DIY clean, but eventually they can become embedded in the fabric. This leads to patchy and discoloured upholstery that's hard to ignore, and not at all easy on the eye.

What to look for:

● Persistent stains that cannot be removed by home cleaning solutions

● Discoloured areas on furniture

● Small stains that appear to attract more dirt over time

2. Unpleasant lingering odours

Over time, upholstered furniture absorbs smells from all kinds of sources. This includes pets, smoke, food, and even your own body. If you're noticing musty smells that don't seem to shift - even after airing out the room - it's a clear indicator your upholstery is in need of a professional deep clean.

What to look for:

● Persistent, stale odours that linger even after cleaning or using fabric fresheners

● Smells that worsen after you sit on or use the furniture

● Subtle, musty scents, which are especially noticeable in rooms with less ventilation

3. Allergies being triggered indoors

It's common for dust, pet fur, pollen, and other allergens to settle deep into the fibres of upholstery - much of these being transferred from your clothes after being inside. Additionally, upholstery also accumulates sweat, body oils, and even dead skin cells from daily use. These can create a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to potential skin irritations or even worsening asthma and other respiratory issues. If you are noticing anyone's allergies suddenly being triggered when in your home, or find yourself coughing whilst trying to get comfy on the sofa, it may well be time to see if your upholstered furniture is to blame.

What to look for:

● Increased allergy symptoms, such as sneezing and itchy eyes, whilst inside your home

● Dust clouds when you fluff cushions or vacuum the furniture

● Sensitivity or itchiness after spending time on your upholstered furniture

4. Fading colours and dull appearance

All types of fabrics lose their vibrancy over time due to dirt, dust, and general wear. If your upholstery is starting to look a little dreary despite regular DIY cleaning, it's possible dirt is becoming deeply embedded within the fibres. This makes your upholstery look older and more worn out than it actually is.

What to look for:

● Fabrics losing their original colour

● A dull, flat look that regular vacuuming doesn't improve

● Darkened areas on high-contact areas such as armrests and cushions
