I wouldn't touch anything that bleeds....the solvent can make a mess if the colors are bleeding. If you get a bleeder cold water washing is the best.....real cold....an air mover would help too to dry it fast |

i've clean bleeders with dry clean solvent. but you still have to test for bleeding. but dry cleaning alone is a wast of time. so i apply dry cleaner then wet clean it then apply dry cleaner. (no bleeding) now on area rugs tha bleed i use host powder.

If you pre test almost any think can be wet cleand if you watch the ph. Dry Wet Dry was a Murry Creamer show I see once done at a Kleen Rite Seminar on Ohio about 15 or more years ago. then it was the trick for hatian cotton. But with low moisture, heat and good chemistry and an upholstery seminar you will find most fabrics can be wet cleaned. We only dryclean clean. Even when we drycleaned drapery on location the same held true.

Our techs all carry 2 different dye locks. One for cotton and rayon and another for wool and silk. When you use solutions of high alkalinity colours will bleed eventually. The other problem is that often there are fugitive dyes in new textiles. Its like cleaning new blue jeans when the blue dye runs or even crocks. The dyelocks take care of those fugitive dyes. Of course you can try the wet/dry/ wet, but you still need to make sure that the solvents are being properly ventilated. We still use Capture and dry foam sometimes too.. Harry insists encapsulating furniture is effective. OR YOU CAN FOLLOW MR. STEAMER's industry guru- like advice and not clean it. |

damn right...if the set is worth 10,000 dollars./..you should charge 10% (industry standard) ...the customer doesn't want to pay that....why would you clean it for a couple hundred and risk damaging the furniture.....just because it can be cleaned...doesn't mean clean it...you have to get paid..
Let guys like Lil Hood clean it....and if it gets wrecked he can afford the 10,000 bucks to replace it. It was a nice explanation Lilhood...but I'm sure what you said there is crap...put it layman's terms so a dummy like me can understand it. it's illegal to quote right from the book

Thats only because you aren't in the league of people with the knowledge of how to clean these things. By the way, Mr. Steamer, Stanley and steamdragon=== all the same people. Still very limited knowledge. Some people come here to learn. Some people come here to shout any and everyone else down.

If you know who I am then why do you think I'm old and do 6 calls a week? Why would you say I make money off of all my volunteer work, when the people you claim to respect, will tell you that I don't. You see, I will not be held up to slanderous ridicule by a loud mouth by you. I read your posts for the first time in a long while tonight and just couldn't stay silent. This is supposed to be a place to share ideas. You can try and ridicule me all you want, however I CHALLENGE YOU TO PROVE IT. As a matter of fact for almost every class I organize, I actually have to pay for them AND if you care to place money on it I can prove it asshole. Schmuck. |
