That's exactly right. The fabric manufacturers and retailers should know their products and recommend to consumers accordingly. But they don't

I think thst is BS. Most customers don't know anything about fabrics. I think it is up to the upholster to find out what the piece of furniture is being used for where it is located in the home if there are kids and pets. Then it is up to them to reccommend what fabric they should use to cover the piece of furniture. Unless they have no ethics then they reccommomend what they make the most profit off of? |

High end waterfront property. There was a coffee stain and dog grease on it too. I amazed myself it came out first class. 1 hour of vacuuming alone. I used esteam upholstery prespray and used 2part hydrogen peroxide and some citrus for spotting. Used ultrarealease acid rinse. Had 4 air kings on them speed drying.
I use one of those rubbermaid workmate fold up plastic tables from home depot for the cushions. It works real well. |

furniture takes time to clean....and alot of guys are unwilling to spend time cleaning it properly...
agitation is the key...with a terry cloth and good dwell time...so you don't have to soak it to get it clean....
I clean everything and anything...you just have to be aware... does it have woodtrim....metal buttons.....how much can I agitate without distorting...is it color fast

I think the upholsterers should use a durable, cleanable fabric when they are covering the furniture. This would make our job a lot easier

my wife has been an upholsterer for 19 years and she has heard horror stories from customers who have had their furniture cleaned.She said it all depends on the type of fabric.
What are you thoughts? Tim |

You can purchase many approx. 3 ft. 9 inch wide stair tools for your cleaning operation or even a smaller width. Have you looked into a Stealth Dry Tool? It puts the water exactly where you want it and never dangerously oversprays or drips. This tool is a dream compared to an external style jet tool and drying the upholstery much faster. |
