Upholstery Cleaning
Professional cleaning of your upholstery on a regular basis will extend its life expectancy considerably, in addition to keeping it hygienic and looking good. Not cleaning your upholstery correctly, or even not cleaning it at all, will reduce its life expectancy significantly.
This page describes our preferred method of cleaning upholstery, the high powered hot-water extraction technique.
Only the very best upholstery cleaning service is obtained by us.
Upholstery Cleaning Method - Dry Soil Removal
We commence our cleaning process by removing the vast majority of sand, dust and dry soil using an industrial vacuum cleaner. "This can be as much as up to 80% of the entire dirt content in your upholstery fabric". In addition to removing much of the dirt, this process lifts many of the fibres to allow access to the base of the fabric construction. We achieve this by covering the entire fabric area at least four times in perpendicular directions (as recommended by the National Carpet Cleaners Association).
Finally, we work in all the hard to reach areas with a crevice hand tool to complete the dry soil extraction step.
Upholstery Cleaning Method - Spots and Stains
We then pre-treat and work on all the areas of staining with the appropriate stain removal agents to remove that particular stain. These include, enzymes, carefully selected solvents, oxidising agents, reducing agents and a variety of non-ionic and anionic detergents. Any residue left in treating a particular stain will then be removed during the cleaning process of the entire area.
Upholstery Cleaning Method - Pre-spray and Agitation
We move on to treat the entire upholstered fabric area with the appropriate cleaning agent for that particular fibre and soiling type. This is allowed to penetrate to the fibre construction and removes any grease or oils adhered to the upholstery fibres. At the same time, any remaining soil and dust is transferred to the cleaning solution ready for extraction in the following steps.
The cleaning solution is carefully worked into the upholstery fibres ensuring the most amount of dirt possible is released and subsequently removed. We can achieve this using a specially designed natural fibered upholstery brush, by working the solution from 4 different directions to further lift the soiling.
Upholstery Cleaning Method - Hot Water Extraction
The upholstery fabric is then extracted with a powerful hot water extraction machine. This works by first injecting a cleaning solution containing an antibacterial deodoriser into the fibre at high pressure. This dislodges any remaining soil from the base of the construction while killing any germs that reside on the fibres. The injection step is followed by extraction of the dirty solution using a high powered vacuum to leave the item as dry as possible and odour free.
The machines we employ use high powered vacuum motors to remove the vast majority of water and ensure minimal drying times of only a few hours. No residue is left on the surface of the fibre to ensure an enduring cleanliness of your upholstery.
Upholstery Stain Protection (optional)
After the upholstery fabric has been cleaned and the surface of the fibre prepared, we can move on to apply fluorochemical stain protector. This barrier can last up to 5 years and coats each fibre to inhibit soiling and staining. It allows our clients to simply mop up spillages as it prevents the fibre absorbing oil and water based stains. Please note: This stain guarding process is subject to an additional charge. more details...
Upholstery Cleaning Method - Upholstery Fibre Grooming and Finishes
After cleaning the upholstery and applying the the stain guard, we continue our work by grooming the fibres ensuring the best visual finish possible.
We then clean all of any wooden decorative bits once the upholstery that has been cleaned. This leaves the entire piece of furniture looking fresh and restored, but most importantly clean!
