Most people look at the tag on their furniture and see that it says “Do not wet clean”. This tag primarily is there to keep the homeowner from damaging their own furniture. Most furniture can be wet cleaned or steam cleaned if done properly by a trained professional.
The furniture cleaning process involves a careful pre-inspection and pre-testing before it is cleaned to be sure that the best and safest method of cleaning used. It is important that we first try to identify the type of material used in making the fabric.
We then must test our cleaning solution on a hidden spot to make sure that the dyes in the fabric are stable. We do this by applying a small amount of cleaning solution to a white towel and then pressing the towel against each color in the fabric to see if there is any color transfer. If there is any transfer we may try to set the dyes with a low pH solution called “Dye-loc”. We then retest the dyes. If there is still dye transfer we may then decide to test a dry foam shampoo or dry cleaning solvent on the material. If we still feel it is not safe to clean the fabric we will inform you of the situation and proceed no further.
