Procedures for Upholstery Cleaning
Upholstery Cleaning
Depending on the type of material being cleaned, our procedures vary. Guaranteed Clean is unique because we take special precautions (listed below) to clean your upholstery and furniture in the most effective and safe way! We guarantee we can clean even the most difficult fabrics.
Big Red’s Upholstery Cleaning Process:
- We always start by thoroughly testing the fabric to make sure we are using the safest and best procedure for the particular type of fabric we are working with.
- We then take special precautions to protect the floor and other furnishings in the area and set up our “Cleaning Area”.
- An important aspect of the cleaning area is the drying mat. We place a furniture blanket on the floor and place an air mover to blow air across the surface. As each cushion is cleaned, it is placed on the drying mat and rotated until it is dry.
- We also take special care to wipe down any wood or solid surfaces and protect any metal buttons from the damp fabric.
- Ask for Green Protector to help keep your fabric looking its best for as long as possible!
Our Upholstery Cleaning Methods
Upholstery Cleaning in Omaha
Wet Cleaning – The cleaning solution is sprayed onto the upholstery through a very special tool that completely controls the cleaning solution throughout the cleaning process. This patented tool allows the fabric to be washed without the fear of over-wetting, which is the cause of most upholstery cleaning problems. This wet cleaning process is the most effective at removing soil and restoring your fabrics to a like-new condition.
Dry Cleaning – Although the name says “dry” cleaning, this method actually uses a liquid cleaning agent like odorless mineral spirits (OMS). This is called dry cleaning because it uses a waterless (dry) solvent. The process is very similar to the wet cleaning process other than the solution. However, with today’s fabrics and chemistry, it has fairly limited use.
Leather Cleaning – This method is much like waxing a car and it takes a little longer than the fabric cleaning methods. Variations occur based on the exact type of leather. “Protected” leather is very cleanable and allows for the best results. “Aniline” leather is also very cleanable and the results are great, with a few limitations such as pet stains. “Nubuck” leather is the least cleanable type of leather. Often times the cleaning is limited to spot cleaning and brushing/grooming.

Commercial Upholstery Cleaning
If you’re interested in commercial upholstery cleaning but you aren’t sure when the right time is? Well, it can largely depend on the type of business, the size of your company, and the type of furniture you have. We recommend cleaning your upholstery at least every 6 to 12 months.
Here are some instances that we suggest, outside of the regular 1-2 times per month, that you should certainly get the upholstery cleaned:
- Staff changes
- Cubicle re-configurations
- Daycare environments
- Healthcare settings
