Linen cleaning pros
« on: July 27, 2016, 07:59:55 pm »
Hi all,

Just got  job to clean antique sofa  covered in cream linen fabric. Fabric itself is very fragile and old +/- 10 years and is never properly cleaned, so had to take every precaution in cleaning it. Got this one sorted with various cleaning products on hand, so far so good for this one anyway, considering it had good few stains including red wine, black tea, water marks/brown stains.
Need advice and help as I have to do 3 seater couch now as well in same  fabric/ linen.  Couch has various stains again and they are very stubborn, red wine, tea, coffee and god knows what else.

Please share what you have  in your chemical compartment and how you apply for dealing  with stubborn stains on linen.
Post only if method is tested, post link to supplier of product as well.

Attached couch that was done!

Looks like you a did good on it though :)

Don't do carpets/upholstery anymore but for cotton/linen I used chemspecs Haitian cotton cleaner with prochem shampoo as a carrier and got some nice results

thanks for reply Simon, it came up well for something that has never been cleaned nor had any protection on it. However I feel it could have been done in half the time I did it, therefor lost out all of the profit on this. Also linen is very funny material and probably the worst upholstery anyone can clean. It hard to judge stains after they are cleaned, it looks wrong while it's drying and once it is dry some stains disappear completely even tho they are there while upholstery is wet.

any more suggestions welcome!!!
