upholstery cleaning

Published May. 18, 2009

Anyone know of a good place to get furniture cleaned? We want to get my couch and chair cleaned before moving them into the new house.  There are some marks on the couch from when I moved from my townhouse into an apartment.  The moving company wasn't so gentle even though I paid them $500.  We had friends help move my stuff from the aparment to our current house in Apex w/o a mark.

stanley steemer does a good job, and they come to your house...most of the carpet cleaning services also do upholstery cleaning.

Unfortunately I can't refer anyone. But a bit of information I'd like to pass along: don't get the stain protector put on after they clean it...it's toxic. Obviously not deadly, but not good for you.

I tried to use City Search...but most of the places didn't have a customer rating.

clean it your self all you need is a wet vac, a pint of denatured alcohol, a pint of pure ammonia, and a halfpint of water. mix well and add to a spray bottle. spray directly on furniture and take a soft bristle brush***** and agitate heavily soiled areas well. and vacuum well.

the ammonia will break up heavy dirt. the alcohol makes the solution dry very quickly without leaving water marks. make sure to clean entire fabric area this is not for spot cleaning. it is very important to agitate with a brush.

****** brush should be covered with cotton cloth during the agitation process. continue agitating untill stains do not show up on clean portion of the white towel.

You can also rent the carpet cleaners at your local supermarket and clean them yourself. The carpet cleaning section sells a liquid product that you can use for upholstery. Infact I cleaned my sofa, love seat and dining room chairs myself and they came out perfect. So did my carpet!

I used to work with the owner of Carolina Carpet Cleaning and he is a smart professional man. I saw him do the white carpet of a mutual friend and it was amazing how clean it was and how dry it was when he got done. The steam cleaning really extracts the most water I have ever seen. Not sure if they do upholstery, but if they do, you will be happy.

If you do talk to Tony or Linda, tell em Colleen sent you.

Stanley Steemer's been around for years, and I've never heard any complaints or esposes done on them, plus the steam they use disinfects.

I'd head in that direction.

God bless.

I've have heard that steam cleaning is the bomb. I still do it the old fashioned way...by hand....with upholestery cleaner, and a shop vac...if necessary. It does pretty good...it looks clean, and doesn't stink...but I bet that steam zaps some germs!

You can buy the upholstery cleaner and you can use them for the cleaning by your self... There are lot of upholstery cleaning products in the shops.. You can try them......
