Upholstery cleaning takes a different approach from carpet. Sofa and chair fabrics vary a lot, and a method that works on synthetic microfiber can shrink or bleed a cotton or linen blend. We check the cleaning code on the tag first: W for water-based, S for solvent, WS for either, X for vacuum only.
We use low-moisture cleaning here too, so fabric dries faster and there is less risk of water rings or browning on light fabrics.
Common requests are family room sectionals, dining chairs, recliners and furniture after a basement flood. If upholstered furniture sat in clean water for a short time, it can sometimes be dried and cleaned. If it sat in sewage or floodwater, the foam inside the cushions is contaminated, and it is usually not worth saving.
Pet hair, body oil on armrests and food spills are the everyday problems. Pre-treatment makes a big difference on armrests and headrests, where oil builds up and holds dirt.
Upholstery cleaning in Plainfield pairs well with carpet cleaning on the same visit. After a flood, we sort furniture during a content pack out and tell you what can be saved.
