To keep your furniture clean, it's necessary to
conduct routine maintenance (e.g. vacuuming, immediate attention to
spills), coupled with periodic cleaning by a certified technician every
12 to 24 months. Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that
consumers not wait until severe soiling occurs before cleaning because
the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the
fabric's original color, appearance and texture; and the greater adverse
effect on indoor environmental quality.urniture Pro Solutions provides a complete upholstery cleaning and care package.
Furniture Pro Solutions also has a national contract and has qualified
technicians all around North America who look after a lot of protected
lounge suites with five year warranties.

Upholstery cleaning can be a grey area when it comes to quoting over the phone. The areas we look at before we quote are:
-
The amount of seating capacity - eg. Lounge suites - a 3 seater plus 2 recliners = 5 seats.
-
The size of the seating area - eg. Some seats are longer or larger and also to include the cushions and armrests
-
The degree of soiling - depending on the longer the
time between cleans and the type of fabric. Obviously the more soiled it
is, the longer the upholstery will take to clean.
-
The type of fabric - There are thousands of different
fabrics out there. Some are easier to clean than others. Some fabrics
are delicate and we can't be aggressive with chemicals so the fabric,
eg. Indian Cotton, can take longer to clean. Also if the fabric is not
colourfast it can take longer to clean.
Our qualified technicians (through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning
& Restoration), carefully answer these questions to determine the
best scope of works and price for you. By answering these questions they
can determine how long the upholstery will take to clean.
Upholstery can be very hard to quote over the phone because some
questions can only be answered by visual inspection. Check out our pricing page.
We estimate upholstery cleaning over the phone on an average depending
on the answers to the visual inspection and those 4 key points. It also
depends on how long it takes to clean. Some 5 seater lounges can take us
1.5 hours to clean whereas some other 5 seater lounges could take 3 or 4
hours to clean.
When looking for an upholstery cleaner they normally throw their price
at you in the first 15 seconds of the phone call. You need to find out
what you are getting for your money.
Recommended Cleaning
Upholstered goods are a popular part of our décor and surroundings and
as with any fabric are required to be maintained and therefore cleaned
under normal soiling conditions. It is recommended that most upholstered
furniture should be cleaned every 12-24 months.
