A new week & a new challenge for our technician, Ollie as he was tasked with thoroughly cleaning some upholstery in Bath. The customer contacted us to book an upholstery clean due to the soiling beginning to show on this pale grey sofa as well as some visible milk stains. The customer had sent us some photos of the sofa before our visit which is always helpful so we have an idea of what we are working with prior to arrival.
The customer had advised us that this was a polyester velvet sofa. Although we will pre-test the fabric on arrival, it is always really helpful to know what material your upholstery is made of before we visit as this not only impacts the price of the clean but also gives an indication as to whether it can be cleaned & which of our cleaning processes with bring out the best results.
Having already pre-tested the material & then thoroughly vacuuming it, Ollie then treated all the visible stains. All of our technicians have a range of stain treatments that they can use to tackle unsightly marks as some stains respond better to specific products than others. So, if you know what the stains are, let us know, the more information we can gather from you, the more we can tailor the clean to meet your requirements.
Once the stain treatment had been applied, the agitation began. This can be done in numerous ways, using handheld tools, larger electric machinery or just good old-fashioned manual agitation! Whichever method is used, the action brings any soiling to the surface so that is can be removed via traditional rinse extraction.
Traditional rinse extractions (otherwise known as steam cleaning) removes any soiling, water & products that have been used during the cleaning process & this is where you begin to see the difference as shown in the right hand photo above.
As you can see from the photos above, Ollie, achieved a great level of cleaning here & the customer’s sofa was looking much cleaner & fresher.
This was a full deep-clean and was also a green clean using our eco-friendly products.
