In addition to our professional carpet cleaning services, we also perform expert, on-site upholstery cleaning. The advanced technology and detergents we use not only provide stunning results, but frequently allow the upholstery to be available for use within just a few hours.
Because of the delicate quality of many of today’s fabrics, it is critical not to overwet them. To avoid this, we utilize a special low-moisture soil extraction cleaning system on delicate fabrics. And for materials that are more robust and more heavily soiled, we use a hot water extraction upholstery cleaning system.
Before we begin cleaning, we always thoroughly evaluate the fabric type and cleaning requirements. The stuffing material inside of cushions is also always checked to ensure no bleed-through will occur. Lastly, all detergents and stain removers are tested on a hidden area of the fabric to ensure they will not change or damage it in any way.
We then perform a comprehensive vacuuming of the fabric, and heavily soiled areas are pretreated with the most effective and appropriate stain remover. The fabric is then cleaned using either the hot water extraction or low moisture cleaning system.
In the event that there are any stains or marks that remained, they are individually attended to using the most appropriate stain lifter and a repeat treatment of the cleaning system. Both the hot water extraction and low moisture cleaning systems remove the stain lifting chemicals as well as the original soil to ensure the fabric is left as thoroughly clean as possible.
Once your upholstery is cleaned you should protect it from future stains and damage. Ask about our fabric protection services.

Teflon Advanced FAQs
- Does Cleaning Remove the Teflon®?
Some Teflon® Advanced carpet protector is removed from the fiber from heavy traffic or aggressive cleaning. Some product may also be removed by strong cleaning agents and chemicals. Check with your supplier to determine which cleaning agents you may need to avoid. It is generally recommended to re-apply Teflon® Advanced each time the carpet is cleaned.
- How often should protectors be applied?
Since the biggest enemy of the protectors is abrasion from traffic, and traffic varies with each situation, the general recommendation for re-application is after each cleaning. The same conditions that led to the need for cleaning probably have led to the need to refresh the carpet protection.
- Is Teflon® appropriate for all fibers?
Yes, Teflon® Advanced provides protection from soil and stains on all types of carpet fibers. A special formulation of Teflon® Advanced carpet protector has now been developed for use on wool fibers.
- What about drying time?
Whenever possible the carpet should not be put back into service until dry to the touch. The length of time will vary depending upon the drying conditions, but is usually only a few hours.
- Can Teflon® Advanced be applied to upholstery?
Yes, Teflon® Advanced also works on upholstery that is not subject to water damage as is silk and other more exotic fabrics. Teflon® Advanced is suitable to protect upholstery made from most cotton, nylon, polyester, and blends of these fibers. But if water damage is a possibility or a concern, do not apply the product.
