'}, petUrine:{title:'Can pet urine really be removed?',body:'Sometimes, but it depends on how deep the urine traveled. Surface stains are usually easier. Odor inside cushion foam or padding may need deeper treatment and may not fully disappear with a basic cleaning.
If the furniture is structurally solid and the cleaning cost is much lower than replacement, cleaning usually makes sense. Replacement may be better when cushions are damaged, fabric is heavily worn, or odor is deep inside the foam.
'}, costQ:{title:'How much should upholstery cleaning cost?',body:'Pricing depends on furniture size, fabric, stains, odor treatment, and travel. Sofas, sectionals, and mattresses usually cost more than chairs or ottomans.
'}, dryQ:{title:'How long does furniture take to dry?',body:'Most upholstery dries the same day, but thick cushions, humid rooms, and deep cleaning can take longer. Airflow, fans, and lower humidity help speed up dry time.
'}, steam:{title:'Steam vs Low Moisture?',body:'Steam or hot water extraction can be effective for deeper cleaning, while low moisture methods may be better for delicate fabrics or faster drying. The best method depends on fabric type, soil level, and the manufacturer care code.
'}, oldStains:{title:'Do old stains come out?',body:'Some old stains improve a lot, but not every stain disappears completely. Heat, time, previous DIY cleaners, and fabric type can make stains permanent. A good pro should explain realistic expectations before cleaning.
