PROFESSIONAL UPHOLSTERY CLEANING - Wet steam deep cleaning

Yes, deep cleaning upholstery can be very safe and effective, especially when done by professionals or with the right knowledge and precautions. 

Specialized Equipment and Solutions: Professional cleaners use industrial-grade equipment and specialized, often eco-friendly and fabric-specific, cleaning solutions. These are designed to be effective without being harsh on your upholstery or leaving harmful residues. 

High-Temperature Steam Cleaning: Many professional deep cleaning methods, especially steam cleaning at temperatures between 150°C - 180°C, are considered very safe. They use only water and heat to kill dust mites, bacteria, and break down dirt and stains, without relying on harsh chemicals. This is particularly safe for homes with children, pets, or individuals with chemical sensitivities 

Proper Drying Techniques: Over-wetting can be a risk, leading to mold or mildew. Professional cleaners employ efficient extraction and drying techniques to ensure your upholstery dries thoroughly and quickly, preventing these issues. 

Stain Spotting Expertise: Rather than aggressive scrubbing that can damage fabric, professionals use targeted spot treatment techniques with appropriate solutions to safely address specific stains. 

It is recommended to get your upholstery professionally cleaned every 12-18 months is a good general guideline, consider increasing the frequency to every 6 months or even more often if you have pets, children, allergies, or if the furniture sees heavy daily use. Regular vacuuming and immediate spot cleaning between deep cleans will also help maintain your upholstery's freshness. 

Steam cleaning is incredibly effective for upholstery because the high-temperature steam (150°C - 180°C) penetrates deep into fabric fibers. This intense heat effectively kills dust mites, bacteria, and breaks down dirt and stains, leaving your upholstery sanitized and fresh without harsh chemicals. drying time is much more faster due to wet steaming rather than the older method of water extraction or even hot water extraction. 

Our advanced steam cleaning method heats water to boiling temperatures, creating a powerful combination of hot vapor and minimal boiling water. This "wet steam" is simultaneously sprayed and extracted, providing an exceptionally deep clean that rinses away dirt and breaks down stains.  

Unlike traditional hot water extraction, which often introduces excessive use of water required that saturates fabric and padding – potentially leading to prolonged drying times, dampness, and mold buildup – our approach is fundamentally different. It's important to note that typical household hot water, like that from a kettle, starts at 100°C but cools significantly by the time its applied to a cleaning equipment to apply to your upholstery. 

Our specialized equipment, however, continuously maintains water at precise, high temperatures of 150 - 180 degrees directly applied to your upholstery and effectively cleaning at its best using wet steam (minimum boiling water mixed with steam), ensuring an effective, deep clean that's also carefully controlled to prevent over-wetting. 

Typically, upholstery requires  6-8 hours to dry after steam cleaning, though this can vary. Factors such as air circulation, humidity levels, and the ambient temperature in your home can influence the drying time. Although the minim amount of water was used through wet steam, your upholstery will feel slightly damp to the touch immediately after the cleaning process

 Just a heads-up: The dirtier your upholstery is, the more effort we'll put into getting them sparkling clean! That means a bit more attention and a longer drying time, but it's all for the best results. This is also why sticking to those recommended cleaning intervals really helps.
