Our Upholstery Cleaning Process - Bellingham

Steps taken by our upholstery cleaning technicians:

1. Fabric Identification:
   1. Natural fibers: cotton, wool, silk, etc.
   2. Synthetic fibers: polyester, nylon, polypropylene, etc.
2. We brush your upholstered furniture down with a soft (horsehair) brush:
   Dust, crumbs, hair and other micro insoluble’s gets wedged between the woven fibers of the fabric and become lodged. A light brushing loosens these particles so they can be removed prior to wet or dry cleaning.
3. Our Truck Mount vacuum system will then be incorporated into the process:
   Removing dust and hair prior the wet or dry cleaning dramatically improves the finished work tremendously. Many companies save time by skipping this very important step.
4. Check for Colorfast:
   We test for colorfastness on all natural fibers in inconspicuous areas.
5. Determine solutions to be used base on two factors:
   1. Colorfast results
   2. Natural or synthetic fiber
6. Proceed with the appropriate upholstery cleaning process. The results of fabric identification and colorfast will determine which upholstery cleaning method is most appropriate:
   1. Dry Cleaning
   2. Truckmount Hot Water Extraction.
   3. Dry Foam upholstery cleaning.
7. Many upholstered fabrics need to be groomed after cleaning. Micro Fibers and Crushed Velvets are just a couple.
