Upholstery Cleaning
First , Clarke’s Cleaning Concepts will determine what upholstery cleaning process is to be used based on the results of the inspection and pre-testing conducted. The correct method directly relates to the type of cleaning agent that we can safely be used on the piece, as well as the type of equipment that we will use. We will always vacuum the fabric first to remove as much dirt and debris as possible. Vacuuming makes our job easier and faster.

Misting the cleaning agent onto a soft white towel or natural sponge (non-dyed) and gently wipe the fabric in the warp (lengthwise) direction, turning the towel to a clean face with every stroke until you no longer have soil transfer from the fabric to the towel or sponge.

This process involves holding the upholstery tool 6-8 inches from the fabric, misting the cleaning solution on with the tool, and then applying the tool directly to the fabric with moderate lifting pressure to vacuum off the fabric. Higher moisture and longer dry times are involved as well as greater productivity.

Placing the hand tool lightly onto the fabric, draw the tool in the warp direction overlapping each stroke. As you draw the tool gently lift the tool so that the fabric is lifted off of the cushion but vacuum is not broken.
