FAQs - Upholstery Question

Q - What is the best chemical and most versatile to use on upholstery? Fiber Plus?

A - Rather than consider a different detergent, although Fiber Plus does have a safe pH range for most upholstery, consider instead a different prespray. My favorite prespray for all furniture is Avenge Fabric Prespray. If you are certain that the material is synthetic and colorfast, you might want to have some Avenge Heavy Duty Fabric Prespray for the "tough ones".

You can extract with Fiber Plus, but my preference is to use Fab Set instead. With Fab Set you'll be able to rinse out all of the prespray's residues, which leaves the fabric soft, and also bring the pH down to the acidic side of the pH scale, which stabilizes colors and prevents most browning issues as well.

Just be sure to spray either Avenge product evenly onto all body contact areas, brush it in with a soft, horsehair brush, and then allow ten to fifteen minutes of dwell time. The Avenge products are both such complete products that you'll not need any "cleaning power" in your extraction solution, just the softening, dye setting, browning preventative benefits that Fab Set can bring.
