Upholstery cleaning is a delicate process because upholstery cannot be removed. However, a certified cleaning professional knows how to clean upholstery without causing any damage to your furniture. Your cleaning professional will look for any stains that might require more attention and apply spot cleaning to those areas. Then, they will vacuum, use cleaning or conditioner, rinse, and vacuum again to dry your furniture. Another way to clean upholstery is by using hot water to soak up any dirt and stains before using a high quality vacuum to remove the water from your furniture. This method is called steam cleaning. Ask your cleaning professional which method is right for your home.
