Upholstery, like carpet, can hold a large amount of pollutants, including dirt and dust. The dirt in upholstery is less obvious than that seen in carpet and is therefore rarely cleaned. This can be a health hazard, especially for those employees and customers prone to allergies and illness. Fortunately, it is a problem that is easy to solve and even easier to prevent, with regular cleaning of all of your upholstered furniture.
