Low Moisture Upholstery Cleaning
Superior One has specialized in low moisture upholstery cleaning for years. On furniture especially, keeping the moisture down is what protects the fabric.
Why low moisture
- Keeps soil from spreading beyond the area that is already dirty
- Holds soil at the surface of the fabric, so removal is more complete
- Prevents over wetting, which causes color run and yellowing
- Dries fast, so the furniture is usable again quickly
Sensitive fabrics
Traditionally hard to clean fabrics such as velvets and Haitian cottons are no problem with our system. We can also apply the right soil and stain repellent for the specific fabric. Scotchgard is recommended by custom furniture makers and national furniture chains alike.
Our upholstery process
- Condition report first. Pre-existing wear, rips, tears, weakened fabric, water spotting and fading are documented and shown to you before we start.
- Pre-clean spots. Gum, grease and similar spots are treated up front.
- Vacuum. Loose soil, lint and hair come off first so the cleaning steps work harder.
- Pre-treat heavy soil. Badly soiled areas get a special conditioner.
- Low moisture clean. A solution chosen for that specific fabric goes on, then gets vacuumed out along with the emulsified soil.
- Treat what is left. Any remaining spots or stains get individual attention.
- Apply repellent. A soil and stain repellent compatible with the fabric may be applied.
- Groom. Velvets and similar piles are brushed to reorient the fibers for a uniform look and faster drying.
