Each material responds differently to moisture, cleaning agents, and agitation. Technicians identify the fabric before cleaning to help achieve effective results while protecting the furniture.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Process
Step 1: Inspection & Fabric Assessment - Every cleaning begins with a careful inspection of the upholstery. Technicians identify the fabric, evaluate its condition, inspect stains, and determine the most appropriate cleaning method.
Step 2: Fabric Testing - Before cleaning the entire piece, a small inconspicuous area is tested to verify color stability and compatibility with the selected cleaning process.
Step 3: Spot Treatment & Deep Cleaning - High-use areas, spills, and visible stains receive targeted pre-treatment before deep cleaning removes embedded soil, allergens, and contaminants from the upholstery fibers.
Step 4: Extraction & Controlled Drying - Professional extraction equipment removes suspended dirt, cleaning solutions, and excess moisture. Controlled drying helps reduce drying time while protecting the upholstery.
Step 5: Final Inspection - Once cleaning is complete, technicians perform a final inspection to ensure the furniture meets quality standards before the service is finished.
Optional Step 6: Fabric Protection - For added protection, an optional fabric protectant can be applied after cleaning to help resist future spills and stains, simplify routine maintenance, and extend the appearance and life of your upholstered furniture. Technicians can recommend whether this treatment is appropriate based on your furniture's material and condition.
Each step is designed to remove dirt, stains, allergens, and odors while helping preserve the quality of your furniture. When you're ready to refresh your upholstery, scheduling professional service is quick and straightforward.
Professional Upholstery Cleaning vs. DIY Cleaning
