Living on the Northern Beaches is all about easy breezes, sandy feet, and laid-back living—but your furniture takes a hit. That beloved sofa becomes the landing pad for salty air, damp towels, snacks, and even the occasional muddy paw. So how often should you call in the pros for upholstery cleaning? Click this link!

Once a year is a solid starting point for most homes. This helps prevent dust, dirt, body oils, and lingering smells from settling deep into the fabric. If your couch is more decorative than functional, you might stretch to every 18–24 months.

But if your furniture sees real action—think pets napping, kids snacking, or regular entertaining—you’ll need to up the frequency.

Pet owners: Aim for every 6 months. Fur, dander, and outdoor mess build up fast, especially if the couch is your dog’s favorite hangout.
Families with kids: Sticky hands, spills, and food crumbs mean you’ll want a clean 3–4 times a year to keep furniture looking and smelling fresh.
Allergy-prone households: Consider a schedule of every 3–4 months. Upholstery traps allergens like pollen and dust mites, and frequent cleaning helps reduce reactions.

Between appointments, stay proactive. Vacuum furniture regularly, blot spills fast, and rotate cushions to even out wear. Even cracking a window on sunny days helps—coastal air works wonders for freshening up fabrics.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but a well-timed professional clean keeps your upholstery fresh, comfortable, and ready for whatever beach life brings through the door.
