Our upholstery cleaning service involves the thorough cleansing of furniture fabric using specialised detergents and an upholstery machine. This process effectively eliminates dirt and grime, leaving your furniture refreshed and revitalised.
There are two main ways to perform an upholstery clean: steam/hot water extraction and dry solvent cleaning. Both processes effectively eliminate dirt and grim leaving your furniture refreshed and revitalised.
We utilise two primary cleaning methods to suit different fabric types:
- Steam/Hot Water Extraction: This deep-cleaning method uses hot water and steam to penetrate the fabric, loosening dirt and stains for effective removal. It’s perfect for thorough cleaning and
sanitising. - Dry Solvent Cleaning: Utilising specialised solvents, this method cleans upholstery without the need for water, making it ideal for delicate fabrics that may be harmed by moisture.
When you choose North Star, you can expect a tailored and thorough cleaning process for your upholstery:
- Fabric Survey: Assess the furniture fabric to determine the best cleaning method; conduct both water and croc tests to check for dye bleed and pile density.
- Filling Inspection: Identify the filling material of cushions (e.g., foam, horsehair, duck feathers) to adapt our cleaning approach accordingly.
- Common Fabrics We Handle: Draylon, Cotton/Polyester, Faux Suede, Velvet, Rayon, Viscose.
General Cleaning Procedure:
- Pre-Vacuum: Remove loose dirt and debris.
