Learn From the Pros: A Deep Dive Into Upholstery Cleaning

Have you ever paused to consider what it takes to truly clean the upholstery of your furniture? Carr’s Rug Cleaning has been serving the Knoxville area for 40 years, offering a deep level of cleanliness to all manner of home textiles. If you’re considering hiring a professional to do upholstery cleaning, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during the process.

What Goes into Professional Upholstery Cleaning?

While it may seem tempting to tackle upholstery cleaning on your own, the diversity of fabrics and the complexity of furniture constructions make it a formidable task for the untrained. Professionals like those at Carr’s Rug Cleaning come equipped with the precise knowledge and the specialized tools to rejuvenate your furnishings effectively.

A Thorough Examination

Before the cleaning solution is applied, each piece undergoes a careful inspection. This is to assess factors like color fastness, existing damage, type of fiber, and the level of soiling. We do this to ensure that the cleaning process is tailored to the unique needs of your furniture.

Protecting Your Home

An important but often overlooked step is protecting your home. We use drop cloths to safeguard your flooring from potential damage or spillage during the cleaning process.

The Cleaning Process Begins

1. Vacuuming: The removal of dry soil and pet hair is the first defensive action, preventing them from turning into mud during the wet cleaning stages.
2. Preconditioning: A special solution is applied to break down and suspend the embedded dirt within the fabric.
3. Rinsing: An exhaustive rinse follows, not just washing away the grime but also making sure no detergent residue remains.
4. Speeding up Drying: The use of air movers significantly reduces drying time, allowing you to enjoy your refreshed furniture sooner.
5. A Protective Finish: The final touch involves applying a high-grade protector to the fabric to increase resistance to future soiling and staining.

The variety of upholstery fabrics and the detailing of furniture may seem to present a cleaning challenge. Carr’s Rug Cleaning is up to the task. We help ensure your furnishings aren't just cleaned but restored to their former glory. Whether it’s upholstery cleaning, carpet cleaning, rug cleaning, or more, your textiles need a professional touch.
