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.
