12-Step Upholstery Cleaning Process:

STEP 1 – Fabric Testing

Your fabric will be tested for fiber type and dye stability.

STEP 2 – Area Prep

We will prepare the area where the upholstery will be cleaned to protect your surrounding furnishings.

STEP 3 – Pre-Vacuum

Dry soil will be removed before cleaning.

STEP 4 – Pre-Treat

Depending on your fabric, it will be pre-treated to “suspend” bonded soil.

STEP 5 – Pre-Spot

Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal.

STEP 6 – Pre-Groom

The fabric will then be gently groomed using soft upholstery brushes to loosen the soil.

STEP 7 – Soil Extraction and Rinse

The soil is then extracted from the fabric with a gentle, controlled rinse.

STEP 8 – Neutralize

The fabric is then pH balanced to maintain it’s soft, fresh feel.

STEP 9 – Post Spot

Any remaining spots will be treated with special stain removal products.

STEP 10 – Post Groom

The upholstery will then be prepared for drying with a gentle combing of the fabric.

STEP 11 – Speed Dry

High velocity air movers will be placed on the upholstery to speed dry the fabric.

STEP 12 – Post Cleaning Inspection

Our technician will review the cleaning results with you to insure that your expectations have been met or exceeded.

 

fabric protection

Fabric protection helps keep your fabrics cleaner for longer. It allows for easier removal of wet and dry soils, which extends the life of your upholstery and the time between restorative cleanings. 

How it works: Fabric protection works by forming an invisible shield around each fiber. This shield is a low surface energy film that resists water and waterborne soils. Once treated, soils will not stick to the fiber surface; therefore, when the fibers are cleaned, the soil is released. Liquid spills will bead up on the surface of the fabric and dry soils can be removed more easily. 

How often should fabric protection be applied? We highly recommend the application of fabric protection after each professional cleaning. approximately once every 12-18 months.
