Every Upholstered Piece, Not Just the Couch

Most people book the lounge and stop there. Meanwhile the dining chairs that get eaten off every night and the office chair somebody sits in eight hours a day carry far more soil per square metre than the sofa.

Ferntree Gully sits in the foothills of the Dandenongs, and the bush is the defining factor. Sloping blocks, mature gums overhead, and homes that are mostly sixties and seventies brick veneer.

Bark, leaf litter and fine grit come inside constantly, and because the blocks slope, a lot of homes have a back door that opens onto damp ground. That combination puts more abrasive soil into carpet here than in a flat suburb with a paved yard.

Shade is the other factor. Tree cover keeps these houses cool and damp through winter, which slows natural drying and is why we bring more air movement to jobs in the Gully than we would to an open block in the west. It is also why mould and musty odours come up more often in conversation here.

Clean one dining chair and stand it next to the other five. The difference is usually confronting, and it is the clearest illustration of why even soiling goes unnoticed for years. Volume is also why a set is far cheaper per chair than doing one on its own.

Dining chairs are the clearest case for volume pricing. The set was bought together, used together and soiled together, so cleaning two of six leaves an obvious mismatch around the table. Doing the set at once is both cheaper per chair and the only result that looks right.
