Ollie was tasked with the full deep clean of some large upholstery in Bristol recently. Upon arrival, the upholstery was assessed and the area was prepared ready for the Green Man environmentally cleaning process to begin. This includes protecting the area around the sofas to ensure no dirt or water is transferred to any other areas not being cleaned on this visit.
These sofas were very large and there were lots of cushions to be treated so Ollie needed to be very organised to ensure nothing got missed and all the hard to reach areas were thoroughly deep cleaned.
After an initial vacuum with an industry standard vacuum to remove all the debris it was on to treating any stains.
This one did have a stain from pets that needed to be addressed before moving on to the general clean.
After an eco-sanitising pre spray it was time to move on to the rinse extraction. This process is also known as steam cleaning and gets deep down into the fabric to remove embedded dirt and bacteria.
The large volume of cushions needing to be cleaned here meant that Ollie had to try to find ways to leave the cushions and the frame so that they can dry thoroughly.
You can see in the images that Ollie positioned the cushions in a way in which air flow can get around the surfaces as much as possible, as well as using a fan to increase the air flow and speed up the process.
We generally advise our customers to allow 4-5 hours for items to be fully dry post clean. This can be sped up by using methods, like Ollie has here, to increase the air movement around the upholstery. This can include opening windows and having the heating on.
Once all the cleaning had been completed they were left to dry thoroughly before being used. Ollie achieved some fantastic results here to remove the staining and give these sofas a new lease of life.
