I've been asked to clean 2 of these-



Anyone care to identify the fabric and tell me if it'll wet clean okay? I'm pretty new to upholstery and will only do it if it's going to be straightforward.

Many thanks

Is there not a label on it that tells you the fibre content?
Looks straightforward enough to me, but hard to tell with a photo.

The main function of the label seems to be as an ad for Sevicemaster

Most labels are generic like that one.

Their is a sample swatch attached to the one you show, cut a piece off and do a burn test and you can always do a wet test on the same sample or somewhere that can't be seen.

Owen... Have you done any training?

Why would you ever take on something you know little about, and obviously even less about any pitfalls you might encounter. You surely feel you should need some knowledge and training to go in and be able charge the customer as a professional .Do you let anybody loose on your vehicles or to do your electrical repairs. You need training and insurance.

If you do give it a miss, I'll do it for £185. for that they will get a superb job.

Just spray it with any detergent u have in the van and  agitate lightly extract it will be fine , they are all scare mongrels on here don't listen to them they like to think they know stuff it's their feelings of self importance they can't help it .

Just get on with it . Have u any training it's all blah

Tell the client to comply with your liability insurance you need to do a clean test to identify the fabrics suitability  for cleaning, then clean a small section in a hidden area. Dry it, then inspect it. If every thing is ok continue.

I must say this to half my clients, if I have not seen the fabric before I give my "I must test" speech.

99 % of fabric can be wet cleaned

Hi Guys

Pure clean is my default upholstery chemical.

Pre spray, agitate arms and seats with a towel, extract.

Should clean well, just don't get too wet.

Cheers

I have done some training in upholstery but not to a great degree. I have also cleaned some in the past.

I just thought I'd put a pic on here in case it was one of those 'Don't touch it!' types of fabric which I didn't recognise but others would.

Follow mike and dougs post you will not go far wrong pure clean I have used for years now on upholstery with good effect don't get it to wet towel off and use a blower if you have one if the cushions remove  tell the customer  not to push them tight back in when you have gone and let the air get to it for a couple of hours
