Materials
Upholstery can refer to anything from furniture inside your home to the seats in your car because there are so many varieties of applications, there's also a huge variety of materials that can be used. Each material acts differently when being cleaned, leather requires a very different cleaning approach than suede, this is why we make sure our staff is trained thoroughly on the different techniques of cleaning so as to ensure that the upholstery isn't just clean, but it's left in the best condition. Regardless if the upholstery is in your house, car, caravan or boat, we can help get your fabric looking at its best.
 
Cleaning
Cleaning upholstery fabrics is generally a delicate process, most upholstery is designed to be softer than carpet so it takes a more delicate approach to clean. If the cleaning technique you use is too aggressive, you may find that the fabric gets ruined. Selecting the correct product to clean your upholstery with is also important, a lot of cleaning products available on the market are extremely harsh and can be damaging for most materials. We have a huge range of products specific to each material to ensure that each material is taken care of, we also have special upholstery attachments for our cleaning equipment to make sure the fibers aren't damaged from cleaning.
 
Conditioning
Having a stain removed is a very helpful service, but even better is being able to prevent one from happening in the first place. Most upholstery will have a protective coating on it as it comes from the factory, but over time this coating wears and deteriorates. When your fabric is cleaned properly with cleaning and conditioning products, this can help to restore the protective barrier over the fibers, preventing staining and keeping your upholstery looking clean and fresh for longer.
 
Products
If you have a stain on your couch or chair, the easiest option is to go to your local store and buy one of the cleaners available, but you may find that these products can strip the color of the material or they feel different once it has dried. This is generally because most available cleaning products are harsh and too alkaline, which strips any protective coating from the fibers.

We only use appropriate, eco-friendly products that provide a deep clean without being too harsh on your fabrics.
