Upholstery is much more delicate than carpet
and more sensitive to the cleaning solutions that are used
in the cleaning process. A variety of cleaning methods,
or combinations thereof, are necessary to effectively clean
upholstery. Determining the best methods to use,
requires extensive knowledge, training, and experience validated
through testing and certification.
Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers
do not wait until severe soiling occurs before cleaning
is accomplished. The greater the soiling, the less the likelihood
of restoring the original color, appearance, and texture
of the fabric, and the greater the adverse affect on indoor
environmental quality (IEQ).
IICRC Reference Guide for Professional Upholstery Cleaning
(IICRC 300)
According to the IICRC Reference Guide for Professional
Upholstery Cleaning (IICRC S300), professional cleaning
of upholstered furniture and fabric that is subjected to
routine use is needed every 12 to 24 months. Increased cleaning
frequency may be required when fabric subjected to heavy
use, or when it is located in homes occupied by persons
with allergies or respiratory sensitivity. |
| Which Cleaning Method?
Hot-Water Extraction has proven to be the most effective
method of safely removing contaminants from the fiber and
is the first choice considered when determining which method
of cleaning to use. Dries In Minutes of Kennesaw is knowledgeable
in all methods of cleaning and can choose the one best suited
for your material and soil conditions.
* Dry soil removal
* Applying special preconditioning agents to loosen embedded
soils
* Proper upholstery shampoos used
* Proper extraction method used to remove contaminants from
the fabric
* Special rinses applied and extracted to leave fabric with
that soft and clean feel
* High-velocity air air-movers used to speed-dry furniture
Next, Upholstery Protectant should be
applied in order to protect against soil, wear, and other
mishaps. Dries In Minutes uses Top-Of-The-Line Stain-Resist
Solvent Protectant that absorbs into the fabric
better than traditional water-based protectant.
Upholstery Protectant bonds to the fiber, and not to sticky
residues, which separates Kennesaw's own Dries In Minutes
from its Atlanta area competitors.
Knowing your furniture has been thoroughly cleaned and
protected will give you the most comfort and satisfaction
when entertaining family and friends. If your guests have
an accident, spills are easily cleaned up!
