Is it worth cleaning a sofa?

1 Answer
Is it worth cleaning a sofa?
Yes, it may be worth it to clean a sofa. Because certain chemicals may damage some types of upholstery, experts generally recommend hiring a professional service to choose the best method to safely remove stains and debris. Depending on the price and age of your sofa, it's possible that the cost of cleaning may be more than the value of the sofa. In this case, purchasing a new piece may be a better solution. To make a determination, get estimates from several services before you proceed with the cleaning process and check out the current prices for similar sofas.
