7 Principles of Upholstery Cleaning

Are your upholstered furniture, such as couches, sofas, and armchairs looking dirty?

You tried to clean them yourself but had a hard time removing the stains.

Remember that if you try too hard to clean, you may end up damaging the fabric and the aesthetic elements of your upholstery.

If you hire a professional upholstery cleaning company, it can perfectly clean up everything starting from dirt to spilled glue from your upholstered furniture.

Here are the seven principles of upholstery cleaning that professionals follow:

  1. Inspecting Fabric

Professional upholstery cleaning technicians will perform a simple test as part of their inspection. They will take a swatch of the fabric to figure out its fiber type (E.g., leather, polyester, wool, etc.).

  1. Testing for Dye Stability

The team will then apply a tiny amount of cleaner to a low-key area of the upholstery fabric to test it for dye stability.

  1. Removing Dry Soil

The first step when cleaning any fabric is removing dry soil as much as possible. It makes the next cleaning steps easier.

  1. Suspending Soil

A cleaning solution is used on the fabric to suspend the soil for better extraction.

  1. Removing or Extracting Soil 

In this step, using a water-based solution helps to remove the extracted soil.

  1. Setting/Grooming Pile

Cleaning technicians set or groom the pile of textile material after cleaning with a specific grooming brush.

  1. Drying the Fabric

In the final step, technicians use high-velocity air movers to dry the fabric faster.
