Before you put away your old, sagging couch or buy a new, pricey recliner, try Carpet Cleaners Northern Beaches. Along this rocky coastline, it takes a lot of magic and a lot of science to bring back to life antique, salt-stained furniture.

Look closely at that old chair, the couch that is sinking, or the recliner you got from your parents. What about the shift in color? The salt, the humidity, and the busy house with sandy feet are to blame. Studies in the area suggest that dwellings near the ocean take in twice as much salt from the air as homes in Sydney’s inner districts. The grit goes in and makes the cloth dull, makes the fibers stiffer, and keeps stains from accidents that happened years ago. The fragrance changes from “old” to “musty” as you add water.

This is where professional upholstery cleaning really shines. With industrial-grade gear, you can do a lot more than just clean with a spray bottle and a towel. These instruments get rid of sand and grime from all kinds of materials, from the softest velvet to the strongest microfiber. Gentle, pH-balanced cleaners get rid of old stains, and natural enzyme solutions get rid of those weird “who-knows-what” spots that kids, dogs, and guests leave behind.

It’s not just about getting rid of roughness in science. Steaming kills mold spores and allergens, while super-efficient dryers get rid of any extra moisture so that new mold can’t form. The material will feel softer to the touch, you won’t sneeze as much, and you won’t have as many “what’s that smell?” moments. Bonus: The real color comes through again. Test results from Australian cleaning groups show that upholstery can get up to 70% brighter after just one professional cleaning.

Before you throw away that lounge chair that has been in the sun or sand, think about how the stuff below it might tell a whole new story. The greatest seat in the house might be back in style with a little cleaning.
