1. Understanding Chem-Dry’s Hot Carbonated Cleaning Process
Our hot carbonated upholstery cleaning involves a unique combination of water, heat, and a carbonated cleaning solution called The Natural®. This powerful yet gentle process safely removes dirt, allergens, and stains from your furniture while restoring its original beauty and extending its life.
The process begins by applying The Natural®, which contains millions of effervescent microbubbles that penetrate deep into fabric fibres, lifting dirt, dust, allergens, and any embedded debris to the surface for extraction. Unlike conventional cleaning methods that use soapy chemicals and excessive water, our hot carbonated cleaning method uses minimal moisture and leaves no residue behind, ensuring your upholstery dries faster and stays cleaner longer.
2. Preparing Your Furniture for Upholstery Cleaning
Before initiating the hot carbonated cleaning process, our professionals thoroughly inspect and assess your upholstered furniture. This step allows them to identify high-traffic areas, stains, and specific fabric types, tailoring the cleaning process to suit your furniture’s unique needs.
A fabric-safe pre-treatment solution is applied to break down stubborn stains and spots to protect delicate fabrics and prevent damage. Our expert technicians may also use specialized tools to gently agitate the fibres, further loosening dirt and debris before proceeding to the hot carbonated extraction process.
3. Chem-Dry’s Upholstery Cleaning Advantages
Apart from being highly effective and safe, our hot carbonated upholstery cleaning offers several advantages compared to traditional steam cleaning and DIY methods:
- Faster Drying Times: Since our process uses 80% less water than conventional steam cleaning, your upholstery dries much quicker, typically within hours rather than days. This prevents mould and mildew growth and allows you to enjoy your clean furniture sooner.
- Longer-lasting Cleanliness: Our process resists re-soiling by leaving virtually no residue behind, ensuring your upholstery stays cleaner for longer.
- Safe and Eco-friendly: The Natural® is a Green-certified solution containing no harsh chemicals, phosphates, detergents, or soap, making it safe for kids, pets, and the environment.
- Allergen Reduction: Our process removes 99.1% of common household allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, and pollen, from upholstery. This contributes to a healthier living environment, especially for allergy sufferers.
- Odour Removal: Our deodorizing process at Chem-Dry of the Kawarthas not only removes surface-level odours but also eliminates the source of the odour, resulting in fresher and more pleasant-smelling furniture.
4. Upholstery Cleaning Frequency and Maintenance Tips
Regular cleaning and care are essential to maintain your upholstered furniture’s cleanliness, appearance, and longevity. Here are some tips for preserving the beauty of your upholstery between visits:
- Vacuum Regularly: To prevent dirt and dust buildup, vacuum your upholstered furniture weekly using an upholstery attachment.
- Spot Clean Immediately: Address spills and stains immediately by blotting the affected area with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric fibres. Consult the manufacturer’s care instructions before using any cleaning products on your furniture.
- Rotate Cushions: Regularly rotate cushions and pillows to even out wear and maintain their shape.
- Protect Your Furniture: To minimize damage from sunlight, consider using window treatments or placing your furniture away from direct sunlight. Additionally, using furniture throws or covers, especially in high-traffic areas, can prolong your upholstery’s life.
- Schedule Professional Cleaning: It is recommended to have your upholstery professionally cleaned every 12 to 24 months, depending on the usage and the presence of young children, pets, or allergy sufferers in the household. We at Chem-Dry of the Kawarthas can assist you in developing a custom cleaning schedule based on your furniture type and unique needs.
Optional Add-Ons to Enhance Your Upholstery Cleaning
We not only offer superior upholstery cleaning solutions but also provide optional add-ons that can further enhance the results:
- Fabric Protectant: This add-on treatment forms a protective barrier around fabric fibres, increasing their resistance to spills, stains, and daily wear and tear.
- Pet Urine Removal Treatment (PURT): We offer a specialized treatment for homes with pets that effectively eliminates pet urine odours and stains from upholstery.
- Allergen Removal Treatment: Our Anti-Allergen Treatment can neutralize allergenic proteins present in pet dander and dust mite waste, providing additional relief for allergy sufferers.
