Furniture Cleaning in Fort Wayne

Winter Is Almost Over!  How Does Your Furniture Look?

We’ve all spent a lot more time inside this winter, which means your upholstered furniture has been used a lot more.  Dirt, pet hair, allergens, dust mites, crumbs from your favorite snack, and dead skin cells are just a few of the many unwanted guests that love to make your furniture their home.

Consider this:  We wash our bedsheets and clothing regularly, but when was the last time your furniture received a deep, thorough, professional cleaning?  Your kids and pets hang out on your furniture, you snack on your furniture, you relax on your furniture… you spend hours on your furniture each week!

According to the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), upholstered furniture should be professional cleaned every 12-24 months.

Whether you’re getting a brand new piece of furniture or if Distinctive has just cleaned your furniture, a protector can also be applied to the fabric to help it stay cleaner longer.  Learn more about fabric protector here.

Improve your family’s health and happiness by choosing the most thorough furniture cleaning EVER from Distinctive!  Learn more about our Upholstered Furniture Cleaning Services here.

Distinctive Cleaning & Restoration Fort Wayne - Client of the Month

“A professional job well done. Alan was here several hours to clean my couch and rug. He was very thorough. I’ve had my couch cleaned before by a different company and they were in and out within 30 minutes. The couch was left with spots still visible. This time around I was very happy with the results! Easy to communicate with, honest, and would use again.” -Mrs. Tingley

Thank you for being such a wonderful customer!

Pet of the Month Distinctive Cleaning & Restoration Fort Wayne, IN

Usually we choose a dog or cat for our pet of the month, but this month, we have a pet snail!  When cleaning for the homeowners, we asked what their two snail’s names were.  Our customers said they didn’t have names, so they decided to name them “Alan” and “Audrey” after their favorite cleaning company! 🙂

P.S. Do you have a furry family member that has had an accident or two recently?  Are you noticing an odor?  We can help with that!  Learn more about our pet stain and odor removal services below.

After Shaving – see all of the fuzzies removed

In Case You Missed It From Last Month:

This fabric was pilling/getting fuzzy!  Cleaning won’t remove fabric pilling.  Instead, it needs to be shaved to give it a cleaner look.  Taking this extra step along with a deep clean and thorough extraction to produce a fast dry time ensured our customer was delighted with the results!
