Restoration Upholstery Cleaning Process

True restoration upholstery cleaning requires a more complete process and a few really important pieces that many skip. In our view, the first step for deep upholstery cleaning is a thorough vacuuming with a high powered, commercial vacuum, equipped with a beater bar. Some estimates put the quantity of dry soil in the upholstery as high as 74-79%. We want to remove that instead of adding water and turning it to mud. After we vacuum, we move on to the hot water extraction process.

The Hot Water Extraction Deep Soil Removal Process

Here are the four major components of a restoration upholstery cleaning, hot water extraction process that most companies only partially complete and we involve all of these important pieces to do the job right. Chemical, Agitation, Temperature and Time.
