Understanding Fiber Families Key to Getting Better Results in Upholstery Cleaning


Cleaners who use a "one size fits all" approach to choosing upholstery cleaning products and procedures usually end up existing in a world where they skirt safety occasionally, and fall short on the best possible cleaning results most of the time.

This happens because of the fact that you can't clean "plants and hair" (cotton/linen/rayon and wool) like you do plastic (olefin, polyester, nylon, and acrylic).

The cleaning products and processes that clean one type well do not readily clean the other type well, regardless of safety issues.

Think of it this way: Natural fiber upholstery (plants and hair) absorbs water readily, and is usually stained by common spills and body discharges; it’s also sensitive to over-wetting.

Synthetic fibers (plastics) resist water based spills, but draw in oily soils and spills, whether from petroleum, vegetable, as well as animal oils or fats.

In our upcoming webinar on June 22, you'll learn which products and procedures best remove water based stains from natural fiber upholstery, and which ones help to remove oily soils from synthetic fibers.

I plan to share techniques that work and I promise that you will learn
