Upholstery
& Drapery Cleaning
The 12 Step
Upholstery Cleaning Program
Don’t let just anyone clean your
sensitive fabrics! Our company is experienced in cleaning the finest of
upholstered fabrics. The following important steps will be taken in
cleaning your upholstery….
Step 1 -
Pre-Inspection
Our
technician will perform special tests to determine the content of your
fabric. The content will determine what type of cleaning solutions and
techniques will be used. We will also point out any potential permanent
stains or areas of concern.
Step 2 -
Area Preparation/Property Protection
We will prepare the area where the upholstery will be
cleaned to protect your surrounding furnishings. Your furniture will be
protected from residual moisture by placing protective blocks and tabs.
We will use corner guards to protect your corners from being scratched
by the cleaning hoses. Also, an insulated wrap is place around the
entrance door to keep the outside air – out.
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. For longer fabric life and fewer permanent stains,
have Fabric Protector applied!!
Step 10 -
Speed Dry
While we are cleaning, we will employ additional
extraction strokes to get maximum moisture removal. When necessary, we
will place turbo air movers for faster drying.
Step 11 -
Final Finishing
Fabrics with a pile (such as velvet) will be gently
groomed with a special fabric brush. This also assists in drying and
gives the carpet a beautiful groomed, finished look!
Step 12
– Post-Inspection
Our technician will review the cleaning results with you
in insure that your expectations have been met or exceeded.
