Dry cleaning of luxury furniture

Dry cleaning of elite upholstered furniture at home: features of the process and main characteristics
Nowadays, people often buy expensive interior items that are necessary not only to perform a practical function, but also to decorate the space. Such products are characterized by delicacy, manual and non-standard assembly, fragility of materials. For cleaning, it is better to choose dry cleaning of elite furniture, thanks to which armchairs and sofas will not only retain the purchased appearance, but will also last for many years.

In what cases is it worth ordering dry cleaning.

Any furniture must be subjected to regular cleaning. This not only maintains cleanliness in the premises, but also helps to disinfect the space from microscopic harmful organisms – for example, from dust mites that settle in the structure of the fabric and subsequently cause serious diseases.

The following signs lead to the decision to clean elite products:

Areas with deformed pile on some fabrics;
Fading or stains on the upholstery;
Signs of aging furniture, abrasions and complex stains;
Tears due to gradual shrinkage of fabrics;
The upper layers roll off due to the use of brushes or other cleaning tools.
In general, any appearance of stains and other problems on the surface of an item may be the basis for contacting cleaning specialists.

Other reasons to call a specialist.

Standard and elite upholstered furniture can be cleaned independently, but DIY cleaning is bordered by a number of mistakes, each of which leads to the loss of the product without the possibility of further restoration. Thus, materials require a different approach: the wrong choice of product or household chemicals causes the formation of discolored areas, places with deformed villi and fibers. The impact on the fabric can be too intense or used with insufficient force, in the first case, scuffs appear on the upholstery, in the second, deep stains remain. If the stain is affected incorrectly (moving from the center to the edges), cleaning leaves large, noticeable stains.

An important point is the selection of the required amount of water. Thus, fabrics with adhesive-based patterns can be destroyed and lose their saturation and brightness. In other situations, using a large amount of liquid leads to insufficient drying, which leads to the formation of mold and an unpleasant odor.

Consequences of choosing the wrong effect
There are a number of standard cleaning methods, the independent choice of which can lead to damage:

Using shampoos with high foam formation. Leaves a lot of residue on the surface, insufficient cleaning of which leads to the accelerated appearance of dirt and the formation of difficult-to-remove stains. This method greatly damages the paint on armchairs and sofas.
Water-based household chemicals. Have a negative effect on silk, wool, viscose, cotton fabrics with lint, velvet and velor materials. It is impossible to restore products after treatment with this type of product.
Steam treatment. Does not affect deep, old stains. Spoils viscose, wool, silk and other upholstery.
Only a professional can choose the right approach to the product, having analyzed the nature of the stain and the material from which the upholstered furniture is made.

Dry and wet cleaning methods.

Cleaning experts provide an individual approach to each product. Depending on what the luxury furniture is made of, you can use a dry or wet cleaning method.

Wet processing is characterized by a large use of moisture and foam. It removes old, ingrained stains well. It can usually be used together with specialized equipment, such as washing vacuum cleaners. Although this cleaning technology is highly effective and safe for humans and the environment, the use of a significant amount of water is not suitable for all products. In addition, it is necessary to spend additional effort on drying.

Dry processing involves the use of a reagent or special foam. It is carried out only manually, while the upholstered furniture dries quickly after exposure to the agents. However, this technology is not suitable for the deepest contamination.

How does dry cleaning of elite furniture take place.

Cleaning takes place in several well-established stages:

A company representative determines the type of material and what is the basis of the dirt or damage to the upholstery. Based on the data obtained, the cleaner selects the methods of action and cleaning technology, which is agreed upon with the owner of the interior item.
If possible, the surface is subject to dust removal, removal of small debris by vacuum, that is, using a vacuum cleaner.
Next comes the removal of the most noticeable, ingrained stains using specialized cleaning products.
Carrying out basic cleaning. There is no need to pay extra for removing stains during general cleaning.
Complete drying.
For final drying, leave the item for five to twelve hours. Experts can manually comb the villi to restore the updated look. At the client’s request, cleaning specialists treat some items with a product to protect against moisture and grease.
