Green cleaning fluid
Sofas that smell clean because the odor is gone
A green cleaning fluid goes on at low pressure, so cushions and chair arms dry quickly and the smell is lifted out of the fabric instead of covered over.
Chapter 01
The smell an air freshener only covers up
Upholstery takes more than carpet does, and it takes it closer to your face. Every sit-down presses sweat, skin oils, crumbs and spills into the fabric, and the cushion foam under it holds on to all of it. Add a dog that has claimed the end of the sofa and you get an odor that comes back every warm afternoon, no matter how many times the throw is washed.
Spray fresheners and powders only sit on top of that. The bacteria and germs worked down into the cushions stay where they are, and the smell returns as soon as the perfume fades. The only fix that lasts is getting the soil out of the fabric itself.

Green cleaning fluid, applied at low pressure
Topeka Carpet Cleaning cleans upholstery with a green cleaning fluid applied at low pressure. The point of keeping the pressure low is the same as it is on the floor: the fabric gets cleaned without being drenched, so the furniture dries quickly instead of staying damp for long.
The aim is to remove odors rather than mask them, and to reach the bacteria and germs that are embedded in the material. Sofas, armchairs and dining chairs with fabric seats all carry the same kind of buildup, and each one is worked at the same gentle pressure so the seams and the frame underneath are not soaked.

Chapter 03
When to call: before guests, after a pet, when the arms go dark
Three moments are worth acting on. The first is the week before people stay over, when the sofa bed or the spare chair is about to be looked at closely. The second is after a pet has settled in on a piece of furniture, since odor builds each time the animal lies down. The third is when the arm rests and the front edge of the seat have gone darker than the back cushions, which is the fabric telling you it has been holding body oil for a long time.
