Cleaning Upholstery in Evanston, Il. 60201 can be a very simple task, says Dial-a-Maid cleaning Service in Evanston, Il. 60201. There are different cleaning methods for different types of fabric.
Upholstery is supposed to be marked with a code that allows the consumer to know in advance what type of cleaning the manufacturer recommends for that particular piece of furniture. These instructions are generally found under the seat cushions on the platform of the furniture. If you do not find the code under the seat cushions, check all the tags for instructions and never buy any upholstered furniture without knowing how it can be cleaned.
If you find a W on your furniture, it means that it can be cleaned with water. This would mean that you could rent an extraction carpet and upholstery cleaning machine from the home center or use a small one that you have purchased to clean the fabric. You can also use water in spotting spills. This is the most durable and cleanable fabric you can buy. It is ideal for dining chairs, family room furniture, anything that gets heavy use or where spills might occur frequently.
If you find an S on your furniture, it means that it must be cleaned with cleaning solvents and you cannot apply water to it. Dry clean only fabrics are generally not as durable and also do not clean as well. If you have a piece with this code, do not allow it to become heavily soled before calling in a professional cleaner or you will be disappointed with the results.
A S/W code means a combination of solvents and water can be used to clean the upholstery. It does not appear on many pieces. Leave it to the professionals to clean.Use furniture with this code in low use areas.
An X code does not appear on furniture as much anymore, but it does appear frequently on fabric blinds and shades. It means that the item is not cleanable and is a vacuum only piece.
When in doubt, do not clean you upholstered furniture yourself, call in the professionals, suggests Dial-A-Maid Cleaning Service in Evanston, Il. 60201.
