How to Clean Dust Mites from Furniture

How to clean dust mites from furniture

Dust mites are creatures you can't see with the naked eye — they're microscopic organisms that feed on dead skin cells from people and pets, and they're found in pretty much every home.

Their favorite spots in our homes are pieces of furniture like sofas, carpets, clothing, mattresses, armchairs, and so on.

Some people develop serious allergic reactions because of these creatures, like breathing difficulties, itchy eyes, and especially tingling or itchy skin!

We really don't have much choice but to do a periodic deep clean of all the furniture in our homes — we wear clothes once and wash them right away, but our furniture serves us around the clock, every day of the year.

That's exactly why we need to make sure to do a thorough cleaning at least once a year.

How do you clean dust mites from sofas?

The cleaning itself is done in a few simple steps. First, the professional sprays a stain-releasing product over the entire sofa, and after waiting a few minutes, begins the main cleaning step.

That main cleaning step is professionally known as injection-extraction cleaning!

It's a special device that performs injection and extraction at the same time.

On one side, it injects hot, pressurized water with cleaning products; on the other side, it extracts everything back out of the furniture, along with all the dust and contaminants.

The professional repeats this cleaning step several times until reaching the best possible result.

At the end of the cleaning, an additional thorough extraction is done to ensure especially fast drying, and an odor- and bacteria-neutralizing product is sprayed evenly over the entire piece of furniture.

How do you clean dust mites from wall-to-wall carpeting?

It's essentially the exact same process as cleaning sofas, except that with wall-to-wall carpeting, in some cases, higher-concentration products are used, along with an electric carpet scrubber before the wash.

How often should you book professional upholstery or carpet cleaning?

It all depends on how heavily used your home or office is — as a general rule, we always recommend once a year.

Some homes need cleaning less often, and homes without young children or pets can sometimes get away with once every year and a half, or two years at most!

How much does sofa cleaning or carpet cleaning cost?

Prices vary from home to home depending on the type of carpet, the type of sofa, the size of the furniture, and, just as importantly, the condition of the furniture in your home.
