Upholstery / Curtain Care Tips:
Consumers
tend to invest a lot of money in their home furnishings and
spend a lot of time enjoying them.
It is
important to have upholstered furniture / curtains cleaned often, dirt
and oils from every day use can break down fibers in fabric
and cause them to fade, look bad and wear out sooner. Fabrics
also hold on to odors so cleaning them can help the entire
home smell and feel fresher.
It is
important to use a service professional trained in the proper
use of equipment, cleaning chemicals and methods to clean
upholstery / curtains and protect your valuable furnishings. Ongoing
education, training and certification means service
professionals stay abreast of latest developments in their
field, use of best equipment, products and methods.
Upholstery &
Curtains are made with a variety of fabrics and padding. It's
important for a service professional to know what they are
made of. Some fabrics cannot be cleaned with water and must be
dry cleaned. Leather requires its own special treatment. Some
silks can only be vacuumed.
Cleaning advice is provided as a general guide for your
convenience. Manufacturer's products and dyes vary so we
recommend that you test a sample before washing or dry
cleaning the entire fabric and always read the label.
