The 11-Step Upholstery Cleaning Experience

Don’t let just anyone clean your sensitive fabrics! Our company is experienced in cleaning the finest upholstered fabrics. The following
important steps will be taken in cleaning your upholstery ...

Step 1: Pre-Inspection

Colorfast testing will be done to insure color bleeding or fading will not occur during the cleaning process. We will also point out any potentially permanent stains or areas of concern.

Step 2: Area Preparation

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

Step 3: Pre-vacuum

All textiles should be vacuumed thoroughly before cleaning. This step will remove dry soils and any loose particles from cracks and crevices.

Step 4: Pre-treat

Depending on your fabric, a special solution designed for your fabric type and the soiling condition will be applied to “emulsify” the 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 brushes or towels 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 its soft, fresh feel.

Step 9: Post-spot

Any remaining spots will be treated with special stain removal products.
(Note: To prevent future stains, have us apply Fabric Protector)

Step 10: Post-groom

Fabrics with a pile (such as velvet) will be gently combed with a special fabric brush.

Step 11: Speed-Dry

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