9 Step Upholstery Cleaning

Professional cleaning of the upholstery on a sofa

The Specialists has been certified in cleaning formal sofas, family couches and sectionals as well as beloved recliners since 2003. We are the trusted upholstery cleaners for the greater Sacramento area, including Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville, and more.

The following important upholstery cleaning steps will be taken:

  • Step 1: Pre-Inspection

    Our technician will perform special tests to determine the content of your fabric. The content will determine what type of cleaning solutions and techniques will be used. We will also point out any potential permanent stains or areas of concern.

  • Step 2: Area Preparation

    We will prepare the area where the upholstery will be cleaned to protect your surrounding furnishings. We don’t want to taint the carpet while the upholstery is cleaned!

  • Step 3: Pre-Treat

  • Depending on your fabric, a special solution designed for your fabric type and the soiling condition will be applied to “emulsify” the soil.

  • Step 4: Pre-Spot

    Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal.

  • Step 5: Pre-Groom

    The fabric will then be gently groomed using soft brushes or towels to loosen the soil.

  • Step 6: Soil Extraction and Rinse

    The soil is then extracted from the fabric with a gentle, controlled rinse.

  • Step 7: Post Spot

    Any remaining spots will be treated with special stain removal products.
    *For longer fabric life and fewer permanent stains, we highly suggest having our Green Fabric Protector applied after this post spot upholstery cleaning step.

  • Step 8: Post Groom

    Fabrics with a pile (such as velvet or microfiber) will be gently combed with a special fabric brush.

  • Step 9: Post Cleaning Inspection

    Our technician will review the cleaning results with you to ensure that your expectations have been met or exceeded.
