You work hard to maintain your Norfolk home, so it’s not surprising that it’s important to address dingy or dirty furniture upholstery. The technicians at Duke Brothers Oriental Rug Cleaning are skilled in cleaning all types of upholstery, from everyday pieces to high-end and antique furniture. Here’s a detailed look at our approach to upholstery cleaning and some effective techniques you can use at home.
Upholstery can be made from various fabrics, each requiring specific cleaning methods. Our IICRC-trained (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification) team is experienced with both natural and synthetic fibers, so your furniture is sure to get all the care it deserves.
Natural fibers like flocked velvet, mohair, silk, cotton, linen, and leather require specialized cleaning techniques. These materials are delicate and may need to be dry cleaned or treated with a low-moisture cleaning method. This helps us maintain the integrity of the fabric while removing dirt and stains.
For synthetic fabrics, we use a steam cleaning method, which is similar to carpet cleaning. The key here is to avoid soaking the fabric, which can cause unnecessary damage. Here's our typical process:
Protecting Your Home: We use rug runners, corner protectors, and other methods to safeguard your floors and furniture during the cleaning process.
Pre-spraying the Upholstery: Our experts apply a specialized cleaning solution to break down dirt and stains.
Micro Mini Cleaning: We gently clean the fabric using a handheld counter-rotating brush. This provides deep penetration without damaging fibers.
Moisture Extraction: We employ a ShearDry Upholstery Tool to extract moisture, leaving your furniture clean and dry.
While regularly hiring Duke Brothers Oriental Rug Cleaning for upholstery cleaning will give you the best results, there are several steps you can take at home to take care of your upholstery in between professional cleanings:
Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum your furniture weekly using the upholstery attachment to remove dust and dirt.
Spot Cleaning: Tackle spills immediately with a mild detergent and water. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade fabrics, so keep your furniture out of direct rays.
Rotate Cushions: Regularly flipping and rotating cushions prevents uneven wear and keeps your furniture looking fresh.
