Commercial Carpet & Upholstery Clean @ SACO apartments

Posted on by GrrenManCleaning

One of the benefits of having a large, well equipped team is that we can take on bigger projects –

This job involved 5 technicians and involved the rinse extraction cleaning of 9 floors of carpeted communal corridors & stairways in a large managed apartment block in central Bristol. Each technician carried a Sebo BS36 or BS46 commercial vacuum cleaner, a full spot & stain kit, pressure sprayer, 50′ of hoses & a professional rinse extraction machine.

Our client required the work to be carried out within the course of a single day to minimise disruption to the building’s tenants.

Professional Upholstery Cleaning in Bristol

Posted on by Adrian Somerfield

The Togo design from Ligne Roset is a timeless classic, and one that we encounter from time to time. These two sofas were in a generally good condition, apart from greasy marks on one sofa from the family dog.

1. The initial part of our fabric cleaning process is the initial pre-test. The visual inspection had confirmed significant oily build-ups on one of the sofas. To successfully remove this, we would need to use one of several solutions.

The pre-test allows us to ensure that no damage is caused to the fabric. We apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area and observe the results. We are checking to see if there is any change in either the texture of colour of the fabric. In most cases, one of the benefits of using eco-solutions is that they don’t rely on high alkalinity or an aggressive action to achieve results.

2. The next stage is particularly important on this specific design of upholstery. As you can see, the sofa is textured with long lines of folds, all of which can hold on to a huge amount of dry soil. On the two sofas, the vacuuming alone took nearly half an hour.

3. After the vacuuming, we apply the pre-sprays & agitate them into the fabric to help break down soils. Whilst these dwell in the fabric, we set up the rinse extraction machine. 

Ligne Roset Togo detail

4. Rinse extraction (sometimes called “steam cleaning”) is the final stage of the  professional upholstery cleaning process where we recover the remaining soils held within the cleaning solution.

A gentle rinse agent helps us to ensure as much as possible can be recovered from the fabric, leaving it outstandingly clean.

Green Man invest in Vaportek technology

Posted on by GrrenManCleaning

A recent odour remediation job presented just such an opportunity – our client’s car had suffered a milk spillage, which had penetrated the rear upholstery & then deteriorated. As you will probably know, this is a particularly unpleasant odour!

Failure is often an opportunity for innovation.

A recent odour remediation job presented just such an opportunity – our client’s car had suffered a milk spillage, which had penetrated the rear upholstery & then deteriorated. As you will probably know, this is a particularly unpleasant odour!

Green Man are IICRC trained as Odour Control Technicians and, as such, know to treat these type of issues at source. However, short of ripping apart the rear seat of this vehicle, the only way we could reach the absorbed milk was through saturation of the fabric. We did this with a powerful solution several times, and rinse-extracted several times.

We then applied two types of commercial odour counteractants.

Still the smell persisted.

For this reason, we have ordered a Vaportek Restorator. Here’s the blurb…

“The Restorator is a simple to use, portable electric device that quickly, safely and effectively renews interior spaces with non-toxic technology. It uses Vaportek’s patented essential oil membranes to release a non-toxic odour neutralizing dry vapour into the air. This penetrating vapour quickly controls and eliminates malodours from smoke, food and biological odours. It is based on proven technology used in fire and flood restoration, the Restorator sets a new standard in interior space renovation. Also excellent for car valeting and other tough odour contamination projects. The Vaportek Restorator will not harm fabric, rubber, adhesives or remove pigment from leather. The replaceable cartridge is rated for up to 200 hours of service.“Vaportek” odour control systems provide immediate odour neutralisation in situations where other methods fail. These systems may incorporate natural, non toxic essential oils and odour neutralising compounds in patented membrane cartridges that breathe a penetrating dry vapour into the air. Unlike fogging and ozone treatments, Vaportek products can be used in occupied structures. They will not harm people, plants or animals or affect fabrics, rubber, adhesives and other materials and surfaces.”

It is due with us tomorrow and we plan to deploy it in our customer’s vehicle on Friday.

Specialist velvet upholstery cleaning

Posted on by GrrenManCleaning

Pure cotton velvet requires careful attention & is easy to damage through rinse extraction cleaning. Because it is a “cut pile”, the individual cotton threads will tend to compact when wet.

It is for this reason that many upholstery cleaning companies will either refuse to clean velvet, or insist on using large quantities of volatile solvents to do the job. Dry cleaning solvent has its place in the arsenal of a professional fabric cleaner, but will not yield particularly good results for a general clean.

The owner of this particular velvet sofa had informed us that their cat had urinated on the fabric multiple times & that the visible damage & odour needed professional attention.

Avoiding damage

Stain removal from velvet

This image & the (very dull!) video below demonstrate how wetting affects a velvet pile and- importantly- how using a velvet “boffin” brush can reset the pile & reduce the risk of damage.

Removing pet urine from velvet

Urine will always leave uric salts within fabric, which need neutralising & removing. This creates an interesting problem when the fabric is velvet, as we will usually be looking to use as little moisture as possible to avoid potential damage.

In this case, our technician applied a specific urine neutralising solution to the velvet in minimal quantities using a sponge, rather than spraying it directly onto the fabric. This reduced the chance of the pile collapsing & ensured that we were able to remove the cat pee odour.

Our team are IICRC approved in Odour Control & have a range of solutions & equipment to tackle most issues.

Conclusion: The final result (which, alas, we forgot to photograph) was an odourless, sanitised & visually clean velvet sofa which our client was delighted with. This type of work tends to take a little longer than standard upholstery cleaning, but we find it very satisfying when we can bring this luxury fabric back to its true potential condition.

TV series upholstery cleaning under Covid!

Posted on by GrrenManCleaning

Yesterday, our senior technician Rodney Gray attended a TV location to conduct a commercial upholstery clean.

 

The situation

Professional sofa cleaning

The modern looking suite had sat on a shelf in one of the large London prop-houses and had become dusty and probably a little damp. The shoot was imminent & the upholstery needed a professional deep clean to a high standard.

The need for a quick response was clear & we despatched our most experienced technician within 24 hours.

A professional deep-clean of props that have been hired presents an interesting situation. The items do not belong to the tv production team, so if these sofas & armchairs were damaged, the production company (and then us!) become liable. Every upholstery clean we conduct begins with a careful pre-test. There are endless combinations of fabric types that are used by furniture manufactures. Some of these (such as Haitian cotton, viscose, velvet etc.) can be challenging to clean without damage. 

The clean

Because of Covid-19 restrictions and, quite probably, the franticness of work on-set, an area outside had been prepared for us. This was ideal as it was a lovely day for drying – some late Autumn sun & a light breeze.

Professional commercial upholstery cleaning in Bristol

After the initial tests were done, we confirmed the fabric was suitable for a deep clean.

Our eco-friendly process follows the full professional specification to ensure all dry soil is recovered prior to stain treatments, rinse extraction (“steam cleaning”) and post-clean checks.

Professional commercial upholstery cleaning on a film set

The image above demonstrates the poor condition of the fabric. Our technician has applied our eco-sanitising pre-spray and is about to brush this in to work the solution evenly throughout. Once wet, fabrics often reveal their true condition. This also means that it can be difficult to determine the success of a clean until the item is fully dry.

The image also displays the Sapphire upholstery tool. This remarkable piece of kit enables us to rinse extract upholstery without actually “firing” the rinse solution into the fabric. The video below demonstrates the principle (see 1:10) :

The work went well and a large amount of soiling was recovered. Our cleaning methodology sanitises as part of the process. On an extremely Covid sensitive site, this was an additional bonus for the production team.

Charity upholstery clean in Stroud

Posted on by GrrenManCleaning

Last week, our technicians Adrian & Ellie gave up their time to conduct a free upholstery clean for the members of Frith Youth Centre in Stroud. 

Frith Youth Centre aims to help young people develop through guidance, education, and teamwork, providing empowering opportunities toward interdependence. Most of these are in the form of Youth Drop-Ins with positive activities.

It will come as no surprise to learn that the youth centre’s sofas have withstood some robust use over last few years…

Environmentally friendly sofa cleaning in Stroud 1024x760 1

What is involved in a professional upholstery clean?

 The first thing we did here was assess the condition of the fabric. As in any family home, fabric is affected by wear (sometimes in the form of teenagers jumping on it), and through an accumulation of soils (from spillages, contact with greasy hands, dust etc.). Our process is carefully specified to ensure that every aspect of potential soil is addressed.

Here is a basic outline of our method:

  • Vacuum the fabric – this removes as much dry soil as can be recovered in this way
  • Stain treatments – to ensure that specific marks (chewing gum, tea, coffee, takeaways…) are given the right chemical solution to render them soluable for the final rinse process
  • Application of a pre-spray – the solutions we use are eco-friendly and safe for pets/humans. They break down the tougher greases and dirt.
  • Agitation – for this part, we use either a motorised brush or a “boffin” brush to work the solution evenly throughout the upholstery fabric
  • Dwell – this is the period of time required for our solutions to work properly
  • Rinse extraction – sometimes called “steam cleaning”, this is the noisy part where we flush all the soiling from the fabric & simultaneously recover it with a powerful vacuum
  • Final touches – sometimes we will need to leave an air-mover to accelerate drying, sometimes the knap of the fabric will need grooming to ensure an even finish
Eco friendly upholstery cleaning in Stroud 1024x455 1

The result

The sofas responded extremely well and a huge improvement was made. Not only this, but our method will sanitise the upholstery we work on which leaves a safer and more pleasant environment for everyone. 

Here are Bev Roesen’s thoughts about the day’s work:

“Ade and Els have transformed the sofas in our youth club! 

 The sofas had been used and abused for years – full of stains, marks and smells. They worked tirelessly until they were perfect and then used a treatment on them that will prevent regular marking. We feel confident that they are completely clean and sterile for when we reopen, particularly because of coronavirus.

They were friendly, chatty, knowledgeable and we appreciate their efforts so much. It’s made a huge difference for the young people using our club. I will recommend highly. Bev (Administrator, Frith Youth Centre)”

– It was our pleasure.

Commercial odour removal for Rygor Mercedes

Posted on by GrrenManCleaning

The problem

Our team recently were contacted by Rygor Mercedes to attend their local depot. The issue was that diesel had been spilt in the cabin of the truck and, although most of the liquid had been removed, the fumes had permeated the soft furnishings of the cab.

Being a large commercial truck, this meant: seats, cabin beds, curtains & ceiling.

The initial solution

The first approach here was to apply a commercial strength (yet eco) cleaning solution with the right action to emulsify any carbon-based residues to allow for recovery via rinse extraction. 

Professional odour neutralisation

Our technician conducted this and cleaned the curtains, beds, seating and ceiling using the full professional method.

He included an eco-friendly commercial-grade odour neutralsier in the rinse water to attack the diesel at this stage of the process as well.

Although the smell initially appeared to have disappeared, once the fabrics had dried, the depot reported back that the issue had returned.

It is for these types of problem that we operate with a full honour guarantee. There are a lot of variables with the materials and solutions we work with – sometimes, things need more than one approach… 

The second solution…

On our second visit, we used a heavier, solvent-based deodoriser. Although we try and limited our use of solvents, in this case it is the industry prescribed method. Solvent based deodorisers are commonly used in the fire restoration industry because they are more deeply absorbed into materials and are longer lasting. Because we were dealing with carbon/diesel deposits, they certainly seemed like the right way to go.

After the deodorisation, we installed one of our ozone generators (and forgot to take any photos!). These handy devices work by generating O3 particles.

Ozone is oxygen but in a different form. It contains three oxygen molecules and not two. The third molecule can detach and apply itself to other chemicals or substances. This ability to attach to other substances (such as odour causing particles) means the ozone is able to alter these substances.

Deep clean of Mercedes commercial vehicle

The result

This time, the diesel smell had diminished to an almost indiscernable amount. Sometimes, we have to accept that a perfect result is an unlikely goal. We had discussed this reality with our client from the outset, and then had set about achieving the very best result possible.

In this case, we feel that we met the brief and delivered a result that meant the vehicle can comfortably be back in use.

How does “eco” benefit my furniture & carpets?

Have a close look at the image above- what do you see?

 

What we see is the result of putting washable colours through using a standard (probably Bio) laundry detergent. So, what is in our laundry detergent?

A quick Google brings up the following:

Laundry detergents may contain builders (50% by weight, approximately), surfactants (15%), bleach (7%), enzymes (2%), soil antideposition agents, foam regulators, corrosion inhibitors, optical brighteners, dye transfer inhibitors, fragrances, dyes, fillers and formulation aids.

In other words, a chemical assault force brought together to attack the huge range of potential soil types a typical household wash might present. Of course, if you use an eco-friendly detergent, there will be considerably less of the harsher agents at work. Even so, if you wash your removable cushion covers with any frequency, over time the colours will fade. There is not a way for you to clean the frame at the same time, so the difference in colour worsens.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://greenmancleaning.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Eco-friendly-water-use.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.3″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.3″]

Why go Eco?

 

Obviously, eco-friendly solutions contain none of the harsh ingredients listed above.

But it goes further than that. The formulations we use work from a completely different chemical approach. They actively breakdown soils, greases & contaminants and sanitise the fabric/carpet they are applied to. After they have depleted & done their work, they are readily free-rinsing, meaning your soft furnishings stay cleaner for longer.

When we dispose of the waste water from the clean, we know that we are not placing anything into the watercourse that will disrupt the eco-systems it eventually finds its way into.

From a personal perspective, I know that when we use these products there is no risk of damage to my skin or lungs from prolonged exposure .

Why have a professional clean?

Coming back to the original image, this client could have used a much gentler laundry detergent. This would definitely have limited the amount of bleaching we see. So, what are the benefits of having a professional trained upholstery technician?

I’ll make a list:

  1. We will pre-test your fabric. This will ensure that the correct type of clean takes place with no danger of damage.
  2. We will clean the entire body & cushions of your upholstery at the same time.
  3. We will use a wide range of techniques that we have spent time & money acquiring in order to specify the right type of clean to get an optimal result for you.
  4. We have professional grade machines to ensure we can recover as much water as possible. This isn’t to say that fabric will be dry after we’ve finished, but we will do everything we can to accelerate the process.
  5. We are insured!

Eco-friendly whole house clean in a Cotswold country home

Posted on by GrrenManCleaning

Professional wood floor refinishing

Green Man provide a mid-point between maintenance & sanding for home owners with wooden flooring. This property had a large amount of wood flooring with a heavy varnish & significant marking throughout.  

We discussed with the client the pros & cons of refinishing compared to sanding in this instance. As the floors needed to be ready in a short amount of time within a pre-determined budget, refinishing was chosen.

The process involves:

  • Dry extraction/vacuuming
  • Application of linseed oil based bio-cleaning solution
  • Agitation using oscillating pad machine
  • Rinse extraction
  • Accelerated drying using air-movers
  • Application of two coats of industry standard wood refinisher (which refreshes the varnish, as well as in-filling micro-abrasions on the varnish)

Professional sisal carpet cleaning

Sisal flooring is beautiful & resilient to heavy use, but very difficult to clean once dirty or stained. Because it is a dry, cellulosic fibre any excess of water will cause it to deteriorate. For this reason, we use a dry compound to clean sisal. It’s a fairly laborious, time-consuming process but, as you can see, these carpets responded very well-

Last month, the whole Green Man team worked together to deep-clean & decontaminate a large country home in the Cotswolds within just three days. This brought together our teams from Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham, Frome & Gloucester in close co-ordination amidst strict social distancing and involved the following professional cleaning services:

  • Wool carpet cleaning
  • Sisal carpet cleaning
  • Wood flooring cleaning & refinishing
  • Limestone floor cleaning
  • Linen upholstery cleaning
  • Full decontamination of the large 6 bedroom property

We were delighted to also be contracting with local providers Clean as a Jem for:

  • Start of tenancy deep-cleaning
  • Window Cleaning

The Brief

Our client contacted us on behalf of the buyer to initially conduct a full survey of the property. The brief was demanding, but simple,

“Deep-clean, restore & decontaminate every aspect of the property in order to bring it as close to ‘as new’ as possible.” 

The work was also specified to be carried out within three days, alongside multiple other contractors engaged in decorating, installing electrical systems & landscaping.

Professional wool carpet cleaning

The property had been purchased part-furnished and was fitted with a large amount of white, pure wool carpeting. In order to bring the carpets to their best potential condition, we specified a deep-clean with our most powerful, eco-solution that not only sanitises the wool, but conditions it. 

Our process for cleaning carpets includes:

  • Pre-testing
  • Industrial vacuuming with Sebo BS36/46
  • Spot/stain treatments
  • Application of eco-sanitising solution
  • Agitation (mechanical or manual with a pile brush)
  • Traditional rinse extraction

Professional limestone floor cleaning

The entrance hall, downstairs corridors, kitchen & multiple en suite bathrooms had limestone flooring. The flooring was quite heavily soiled and would need a full deep-clean using our hard-floor cleaning machinery & solutions. The survey indicated that although the limestone would benefit from a top-up coat of impregnating seal, the logistics of multiple trades moving throughout the property meant that there would not be any opportunity to do this.

Limestone flooring is porous & textured, meaning plenty of imperfections in which soil can accumulate. Our method is to use a combination of rotary brush & oscillating pad, followed by rinse extraction to remove the soil and bring the limestone back to its original brightness.

Professional linen upholstery cleaning

One of the first things noted in the initial survey was a huge amount of linen furniture. As well as the largest corner sofa I’d ever seen (in the cinema room), there were also 2x three piece suites, an array of dining chairs & multiple chaise longues in the bedrooms & bathrooms.

Linen is a natural fibre from the flax plant. For this reason, it needs to be treated with care as it can suffer cellulosic browning if overwet, or rinsed with a solution at the incorrect ph. Obviously, when faced with such a large quantity of fabric, it is critical to maintain attention to detail…

The Verdict

The team knew from the outset that our client had specified the work to be of the highest standard. At the end of Day 3, I conducted a full walk-through with our client & housekeeping. It was with a real sense of satisfaction & relief that we were told that our work had fulfilled the new owner’s specifications.

Earlier this week, we were in Lechlade conducting a full deep clean of multiple velvet items in a classic Cotswold cottage. Conducting an eco-friendly clean of true cotton velvet can present multiple challenges to an upholstery cleaning technician, not least the danger of damaging the delicate pile.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.4.3″ type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.3″ hover_enabled=”0″]

In the short timelapse video below, our technician Pete is demonstrating the basic velvet cleaning method. Using a completely eco-friendly solution, he is able to conduct a full rinse extraction clean of this Ottoman without damaging the pile of the delicate fabric-

Careful pre-testing and post-clean re-grooming of the upholstery pile or nap are vital to ensure a thorough and safe job are completed to our customer’s satisfaction here.

The images below are a combination of “Before & After” photos, which give you a good idea of the effectiveness of the method.

The yellow sofa is a favourite of the resident dogs and, as you can see, we managed to lift the majority of embedded oil that had transferred into the cotton…

In addition to the velvet items, we were also asked to clean a cotton Edwardian style sofa.

Here too we conducted the full professional method:

  • Pre-test
  • Careful vacumming of fabric
  • Attend to stains
  • Apply eco-sanitising pre-spray
  • Careful agitation
  • Traditional rinse extraction
