Dry cleaning of furniture in offices

How to dry clean furniture in the office

Office employees spend at least 8 hours at work, which means that the furniture is used very carefully. If the floors and furniture in the room can be washed, wet cleaning will not save the worn upholstery of a chair or armchair.

Office furniture is divided into upholstered and wooden. Upholstered furniture (chairs, armchairs, sofas) requires regular maintenance. First of all, it is worth cleaning it from dust and dirt that gets clogged in the space between the cushions or between the back and armrests of the chair. In this case, a vacuum cleaner will do the job perfectly, the washing function will be a nice bonus. Upholstered furniture should be cleaned at least once every two or three days.

Wooden chairs, cabinets, shelves, tables do not require special care, it is enough to wipe them with a damp sponge, you can use a detergent. After that, you need to completely and dry them with a separate cloth.

Features of cleaning upholstered furniture depending on the fabric
Dry cleaning of upholstered furniture directly depends on the type of upholstery of the sofa or armchair. Let’s look at the most popular options.

Leather. The most common material. Only dry cleaning without the use of any cleaning agents is recommended for such furniture. Their use contributes to color loss. You can use special aqueous solutions with a minimum pH value.
Furniture suede. Regular wet cleaning is carried out, and then a spray is applied that preserves the suede coating.
Velour. Dry cleaning is carried out only with organic products. Water products can damage the delicate pile.
Microvelour. Any dry cleaning is welcome.
Viscose. Moisture-resistant material, but with active cleaning it can lose its density and appearance. It is best to use dry cleaning or with a minimum amount of water and any liquids.
Wool. Dry cleaning with hydrocarbons is recommended. Wet cleaning with foam is strictly prohibited for this upholstery.
Flock. Budget replacement for velvet. This is a good dirt-repellent and water-repellent material that remains in its original form for a long time. It is recommended to clean with chemical neutral agents without alcohol.
Cotton. Wet cleaning is allowed in very rare cases, most often standard dry cleaning with a vacuum cleaner and special attachments is used.
Silk. Only dry cleaning with gentle movements of the vacuum cleaner.
The cleaning company IN Touch Clean has all the necessary equipment that will remove any stains and clean any material of upholstered furniture.

Dry cleaning of a silk sofa

Silk furniture is quite capricious and demanding in its care, although it is a sin to argue about its presentable and expensive appearance.

For cleaning, you can use a regular clothes brush with soft pile or bristles. The covers of the cushions and armrests can be washed in a washing machine on a delicate cycle.

Before you start cleaning a silk sofa, you need to cover it with paper or newspapers to avoid staining the carpet and floor. Apply a small amount of the product to the material, preferably to an inconspicuous area, to see how the fabric reacts to the composition of the foam or liquid. First, apply the product to the back, armrests and seat, and then to the bottom of the sofa. Rub the detergent gently for 20-30 seconds.

You can also use a microfiber napkin or cloth soaked in the detergent.

Dry cleaning of a velor sofa

Professional cleaning of velor from cleaning takes place in 7 stages – high-quality selection of chemicals and cleaning agents, vacuum collection of dirt, knocking out dirt under pressure, cleaning in two modes, removing stains, washing with a water jet under pressure, drying.

You can clean a velour sofa yourself at home. It is better to use a dry brush with very dense bristles. And after dry cleaning, wipe with water, you can add a little vinegar.

The fastest way is a vacuum cleaner. A variety of attachments allows you to carefully and efficiently remove all dirt and stains on the velour fabric.

Dry cleaning of a velvet sofa

Cleaning companies most often have orders for cleaning velvet fabric. In big business, velvet furniture is considered a sign of great wealth.

First, you need to vacuum and dry clean, then remove everything with a medium-hard brush.

Stains can be removed with alcohol or vodka, and milk and coffee stains can be removed with a vinegar solution. If a greasy stain appears, you can apply a bag of heated sand (the sand will absorb all the fat and leave no stains).

Chemical cleaning agents will leave streaks and stains in 90% of cases. They can ruin the velvet pile, and the furniture will forever lose its respectable appearance.

Dry cleaning of an Alcantara sofa

Alcantara is an artificial suede, it is beautiful and quite durable. But at the same time, its dry cleaning is very labor-intensive and difficult, this should be taken into account when choosing a sofa with such upholstery.

Dust or small stains can be removed with a damp sponge or rag. An ordinary wet sponge will not remove old or more serious stains, even if you moisten it in an alcohol solution or use citric acid.

Independent use of cleaning and detergents can only lighten stains and dirt, but will not remove them completely. But the entire appearance of the fabric will be lost, at least – the paint will peel off.

For dry cleaning of Alcantara, the best solution would be to order the services of a cleaning company. Professionals know the features of the fabric and will do everything in no time.

Dry cleaning of a sofa made of genuine suede and nubuck

Natural suede and nubuck are materials that are very susceptible to external factors. If placed in a sunny place, the sofa will “burn out” and lose its color over time, and the ability to quickly absorb moisture will lead to the appearance of streaks and stains that are difficult to remove at home.

A suede or nubuck sofa is not cleaned “in one place” or locally, since there is a high probability of streaks appearing. Therefore, even after the appearance of one stain, it is worth cleaning the entire sofa.

Dry cleaning with a special brush with soft bristles that will not scratch the fabric is suitable for the materials. Vacuuming should be done at least 2 times a week, preferably every other day. You can use special cleaning wet wipes for suede and nubuck.

After cleaning, the sofa should be covered with a special protective layer, you can use a spray. The aerosol will extend the life of the sofa.

Wet cleaning of upholstered furniture

Wet cleaning or aqua cleaning is a method of chemical cleaning using water and detergents. The method is effective and removes the most stubborn stains on furniture.

Dry cleaning is carried out using special equipment – a washing vacuum cleaner, which has two tanks: for dirty and clean water.

The detergent solution is applied to the furniture under high pressure through a spray nozzle, creating pressure and penetrating deep into the fabric. After that, the vacuum cleaner switches to the “Suction” mode and collects all the dirt and dust particles that were inside the upholstery.

Wet cleaning removes not only stains, but also copes well with unpleasant odors, does not leave annoying stains and is completely safe for all residents of the apartment or office employees.

You can try to do this cleaning yourself with a washing vacuum cleaner, but it is better to trust the professionals.

Dry cleaning – speed and convenience

Many fabrics used in furniture upholstery do not tolerate wet cleaning. In this case, standard dry cleaning will come to the rescue.

The procedure is carried out using a special foam that does not leave streaks and minimally wets the material.

The main advantage is speed. Cleaning does not take much time, the sofa or chair dries quickly. That is why offices most often use this method of cleaning furniture.

Removing stains on furniture made of delicate fabrics

Stains on furniture always appear unexpectedly and at the most inopportune moment. Removing on delicate fabrics is difficult because it is important not only to get rid of the stain, but also to preserve the appearance and texture of the material.

It is better to use special stain removers, but choose the right one for the fabric so as not to bleach the stain or burn the texture.

At home, you can use hydrogen peroxide and aspirin, and then wash the area well with water.

How to remove unpleasant odors from upholstered furniture
The most common odors are dampness, tobacco smoke, or animal odor. They cause discomfort to both the owner and visitors.

Cleaning uses professional products that eliminate any odors. It is much easier to carefully use a sofa or armchair than to spend money on dry cleaning or home cleaning later.

Advantages of professional furniture dry cleaning

Professional dry cleaning is safe and saves time. The equipment thoroughly and carefully cleans the surface, and cleaning companies guarantee long-term cleanliness.

In addition, you do not need to go anywhere, dry cleaning takes place directly on site. This again saves not only time, but also money.

Cleaning products remove stains and dirt regardless of the delicacy of the upholstery material. When calling a cleaning service, the customer can rest assured – nothing will happen to the furniture, and the appearance will be as after purchase.
