Upholstery Cleaning
Spring is an excellent time to
have your upholstery cleaned. Many fabrics require special attention
and treatments.
There are many differences in
fabrics. some of the cleaning instructions found on clothing labels
include: use cold water, hot water, hand wash, hang dry, dry clean
only, etc. Fabrics on furniture have very special needs also.
Although most furniture will have labels with cleaning instructions
or cleaning codes they are usually not very helpful.
There are only three cleaning
codes:
W - Stands for water. This fabric
should be safe to clean with water based products.
S - Solvent cleaning is recommended.
X - Do not clean by any method.
Other labels on furniture are
not any more helpful, they never tell us what the fabric is made from.
(No, the little black and white labels that begin, "All new material
consisting of", are not referring to the fabric but instead refer
to the batting and foam.)
All of our technicians receive
a lot of training on analyzing and testing fabrics and on all of the
techniques to clean all of these different types of fabrics. It
is also very common for one of our technicians to ask to borrow your
phone so they can "get a second opinion" as they determine
the recommended cleaning procedures.
Tips:
1 - Ask for the fiber content
of the fabric when you buy new furniture. It will not be on the
labels, and will probably not be on any of the literature you receive
either. The information is available though, if you ask for it.
(Fewer then 1% of customers know the exact content of the fabrics on
any of their furniture.)
2 - If you don't know what you
are doing - call us: (801) 298-8125
You could damage your furniture.
