How to Clean Upholstery Fabric: Hot Water Extraction
As resilient as they are stain-resistant, our fabric is made to hold up to frequent cleaning. There’s a reason why over 1.5 million yards of our performance fabrics have been installed in major hotel and restaurant installations as well as healthcare environments, offices, and other public places. These high-traffic areas require regular cleanings of both their hard and soft surfaces.
Even our performance fabric, specially designed for residential use, can be cleaned as often as desired and never lose its ability to resist stains, spills, and odors. That’s because the performance technology in Crypton fabrics occurs at a molecular level. The performance properties become a part of the character of the fibers themselves, so their protective nature is inherent and can never wash or wear away.
Deep Cleaning A Fabric Sofa With Hot Water Extraction
The following extraction fabric care method for stain removal can be used for most medium or ground-in stains and overall maintenance:
- Prepare the upholstery fabric using the spot-cleaning method to pre-treat any spots. Vacuum the upholstery to remove any loose debris.
- Prepare a cleaning solution by reading the instructions on the chosen extraction concentrate bottle to include the proper dilution ratio.
- Pour the solution into the tank.
- Apply the solution to the fabric by spraying it with the upholstery cleaner wand sprayer.
- Vacuum up the solution with the upholstery wand vacuum nozzle.
- Allow fabric to air-dry.
- If any stains remain, repeat the process (some stains are more difficult to remove than others).
