B.T. 12 Steps of Upholstery Care

Don’t let just anyone clean your sensitive fabrics! Our company is experienced in cleaning the finest of upholstered fabrics. The following important steps will be taken in cleaning your upholstery:

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. In addition, we will point out any potential permanent stains or areas of concern. We will give you an evaluation of expected results.

Step 2: Area Preparation

We will prepare the area where the upholstery will be cleaned to protect your surrounding furnishings. We use our camo blankets placed around the furniture on the floor & set up a table to clean cushions or pillows on.
