Over the last decade, the upholstery cleaning industry has evolved considerably. With advances in fabrics and fibers, cleaning methods must adapt to ensure safe and effective care. Upholstered furniture today often features a combination of fibers, making proper identification of the material crucial before beginning any cleaning process. At Clean Pro Carpet and Restoration, we specialize in cleaning furniture upholstery while preserving the fabric’s integrity, ensuring your cherished pieces are protected from damage.
Understanding Fabric Types for Proper Care
Most upholstery fabrics fall into two main categories: natural fibers and synthetic fibers. Natural fibers are further divided into two subgroups—protein-based and cellulosic-based fibers. Protein-based fibers include materials such as wool and silk, while cotton and linen fall under cellulosic fibers. These natural materials often require specialized cleaning methods, such as foam or dry cleaning.
On the other hand, synthetic fibers, which are commonly used in modern furniture, can typically be cleaned using hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning. However, the key to ensuring the longevity of your furniture lies in proper fabric identification before cleaning.
Expertise Matters in Upholstery Cleaning
Many upholstery manufacturers include cleaning tags under cushions, identifying the cleaning method best suited for the fabric. Inexperienced cleaners might shy away from upholstery cleaning, fearing potential damage or fabric deterioration. At Clean Pro Carpet and Restoration, our skilled technicians possess the expertise to handle delicate fabrics with care. With our team’s extensive knowledge of fibers and cleaning techniques, you can trust that your upholstery is in good hands.
