The Dilemma of the Outdated Bank
Your sofa. The heart of your living room. The silent witness to countless movie nights, deep conversations and afternoon naps. But after years of loyal service, it is starting to show signs of fatigue. Stains here, discolouration there. You wonder: is it time for a thorough cleaning or should you bite the bullet and buy a new one?
It's like choosing between polishing your old, trusted sneakers or buying brand new ones. Both options have their charm, don't they?

The process of professional sofa cleaning
When you choose our cleaning service, you can expect the following:
- The check-up: We inspect your sofa thoroughly. It's like an MOT for your seating furniture.
- First aid: We pre-treat stubborn stains. Think of pre-soaking a stubborn stain in your favorite shirt.
- The big cleaning: We choose the best method for your sofa. Sometimes it is like a steam bath, other times more like a dry shampoo for your furniture. At Randstad Meubelreiniging we use the best cleaning agents for every deep cleaning.
- The protective layer: After cleaning, we often apply a protective layer. It is like an umbrella for your sofa against future stains.
- The hair dryer: We dry your sofa, which usually takes a few hours. Don't worry, you don't have to stand around with a hairdryer!
The benefits of impregnation
After cleaning, we often recommend impregnating your sofa. It is like an invisible shield for your furniture:
- Stain resistance: Spilled Coke? Don't panic, it beads up like water on a duck's back.
- Longer freshness: Your sofa will stay clean and fresh for longer, like a freshly washed shirt.
- Easier to keep clean: Daily maintenance becomes a breeze.
- Hygiene+: An impregnated sofa is less susceptible to bacteria. It is like an immune system for your furniture.
Cost of sofa cleaning vs. new sofa
Let's put the numbers side by side:
| Service | Average cost |
|---|---|
| Our professional sofa cleaning | €80 – €200 |
| Cleaning + impregnation | €120 – €250 |
| New bank | €500 – €3000+ |
As you can see, having your seat cleaned is often a bargain compared to buying a new one. It's like choosing between a major service for your car or buying a brand new one.
When is a new bank the better option?
While we love breathing new life into old sofas, there are situations when purchasing new makes more sense:
- Your sofa creaks and squeaks like an old door (broken frame, worn out springs).
- The design no longer fits your interior, like a hippie outfit at a business party.
- You need new features (for example, a sofa bed for unexpected guests).
- The sofa is so old that even after cleaning the quality leaves much to be desired, like a car that spends more time in the garage than on the road.
Tips for maintaining your sofa
Whether you choose to clean or buy a new one, good maintenance is essential. Here are our golden tips:
- Vacuuming is key: Do it at least weekly. Think of it like brushing your teeth for your couch.
- Tackle stains immediately: The sooner the better. It's like putting a band-aid on a wound.
- Annual cleaning: Consider an annual professional cleaning. It's like an MOT for your seating furniture.
- Protective covers: Especially handy if you have pets. It's like a raincoat for your sofa.
- Avoid bright sunlight: This can cause discoloration. Your sofa is not a sunbather!
Make the right choice for your situation
Whether you choose to refresh your faithful seating furniture or welcome a new sofa, both options have their charm. Carefully weigh your budget, the condition of your current sofa, and your personal preferences.
Remember that at Randstad Meubelreiniging we can often work wonders on even the most worn out sofas. On the other hand, a new sofa can bring a welcome breath of fresh air to your interior.
Whatever choice you make, with the right care and attention you can enjoy a clean, comfortable sofa that will form the beating heart of your living room for years to come.
