Upholstered furniture should be cleaned at least every two years while leather furniture should be cleaned and protected every year.
Dye testing: We’ll pre-test the area for color fastness to determine if it can be wet or dry cleaned.
Soil suspension: A conditioning agent will be sprayed on and brushed in with a horsehair brush.
Extraction: A water or solvent-based “rinse” is used to whisk away the suspended soils.
Drying: Turbo dryers are used if necessary to speed dry the piece.
Dye testing: We’ll examine the piece for color fastness and cleanability.
Soil suspension: A leather cleaning agent is used to dry and clean the surface.
Extraction: Dry cleaning sponges are used to extract the soils.

Spot Cleaning Upholstery
Maintain your furniture between professional cleaning visits
Pre-Test An Inconspicuous Area
Remember to pre-test any piece in an inconspicuous area BEFORE attempting spot removal. Allow the pre-tested area to dry. If discoloration or shrinkage occurs, do not use the product.
Use the Appropriate Cleaner
For W and WS coded upholstery, use a Neutral pH water based cleaner on spots such as food spills, drink spills, light grease, etc.
Procyon Spotter is what we give you FREE to use between cleanings. It works great on upholstery that is safe to clean with water. Just make sure you pre-test it first.
For S, W, and WS coded upholstery, use a small amount of dry cleaning solvent (such as Carbona available at Wal-Mart or rubbing alcohol) applied to a cloth for oil based spots.
Always apply the spotter to a cloth. Never pour or spray a spotting agent directly on your furniture.
Disclaimer: Use these techniques at your own risk. Be aware that furniture can easily be ruined. Pre-test each solution in an inconspicuous area before using. If you are not confident about these techniques, call us we can help!
Find the Cleaning Codes for Upholstery
The upholstery code should be located on a tag beneath the cushions. Use care with all upholstery, but especially with X and S codes. If you are unable to find the cleaning codes on your upholstery, please do not attempt these tips as you will ruin your furniture.
- W: Spot clean with water-based cleaner.
- S: Spot clean ONLY with mild water-free dry cleaning solvent.
- WS: Spot clean with water-based or solvent cleaner.
- X: Clean only by vacuuming or light brushing.
Upholstery Maintenance Tips
Don’t let any type of soil or spot remain on upholstery. Upholstery is not nearly as stain resistant as carpet.
Keep pets off of furniture. Their claws can permanently harm the fiber. Pet accidents can get deep into the foam and become impossible to remove.
Keep upholstery away from sunlight.
Don’t allow transferable dyes (newspaper, blue jeans, etc.) to come in contact with upholstery.
Have light colored upholstery professionally cleaned BEFORE it appears soiled. If you wait until it looks dirty, permanent damage may already be done.
