Upholstery cleaning requires far more extensive skill and knowledge to master than
carpet cleaning. There are several reasons for this. First, the range of fabric fiber
types involved is double what one commonly finds in carpet, requiring the cleaner
to have a wider understanding of fabric cleaning technology.
Generally, most fabrics are comprised of one or of various multiple blends of
twelve different fiber types including cottons: (processed, semi-processed, and
unprocessed); or rayon; polyester; olefin; acrylic; linen; nylon; acetate; wool; or
silk. There are also a small handful of fibers made from exotic plants or animal
furs out there as well, but they are extremely rare in America. Any other trade
names in use, such as Herculon, Acrylon, Dacron, Visa, etc., are merely
proprietary names for blends of synthetics already included in the list above.
Many upholstery fabrics are significantly more delicate and sensitive than carpet
fabrics, as they are sold based on comfort and soft texture, as opposed to carpet
which needs to be more durable since we walk on it. Obviously, an ignorant
cleaner can do a lot of damage if they use an incorrect method or chemical.
Further complicating the matter of upholstery fabric cleaning is the lack of
comprehensive and accurate information being circulated. While the major carpet
manufacturing mills now proactively cooperate with the cleaning industry to
exchange information and cleaning recommendations, the upholstery cleaning
fabric makers have been much slower to date to follow suit.
The reason for this is the extensive knowledge required by a cleaner to properly
use effective methods. One properly trained cleaner can use the same chemistry,
equipment and process as another poorly trained cleaner and get very different
results. For this reason, many fabric manufacturers are hesitant to recommend
any process that has any potential whatsoever to cause damage in the wrong
cleaning technician's hands, so they instead largely recommend a safe, but inferior
cleaning process across the board to limit their liability.
Your best bet is to rely on an IICRC trained and experienced upholstery cleaning
expert. Remember; the people who sell furniture or carpet are less likely to give
you accurate information. Why? Because they are not required to have extensive
day to day skills in cleaning. As far as they are concerned, cleaning is an after
market service and therefore only a peripheral concern. For the most part, they are
only required to be good at closing sales deals on new furniture. In most
instances, they should direct your inquiries to a certified cleaning company rather
than hold themselves out as seasoned experts qualified to give advice.
