Aquatic cleaning of sofas and upholstered furniture

Water cleaning (or wet cleaning) is a method for cleaning sofas and other upholstered furniture using detergents and water as a solvent. This is a powerful way to remove dirt, dust, and stains from upholstered furniture. Water cleaning is effective against most stains and allows you to eliminate even the most stubborn and old stains.

Technology Description

• Water cleaning is carried out with specialized equipment: a compact washing vacuum (extractor) equipped with two tanks: one for the cleaning product and another for dirty water. According to the principle of operation, the extractor resembles a conventional washing vacuum, but is significantly more powerful. The alternating spraying and collection of the cleaning solution is done through a special nozzle, to which two hoses are supplied.
• Before starting work, a detergent is selected according to the type of upholstery of the furniture and the degree of dirt. The cleaning solution is poured into the extractor's tank and dissolved in warm clean water. After that, cleaning can begin.
• The water, mixed with the cleaning product, is pumped through a spray nozzle under high pressure and applied to the surface of the upholstery of the furniture. The solution instantly penetrates into the deeper layers of upholstery and furniture stuffing.
• Under the influence of the cleaning product, the dirt breaks down into tiny particles, which easily detach from the upholstery.
• The extractor vacuum is switched to suction mode. The residual cleaning agent along with dirt particles is removed from the sofa through the attachment. The suction power of the extractor vacuum is so great that the sofa is left almost dry. After cleaning, the sofa is completely ready for use in 8-12 hours, depending on the humidity and temperature in the room.

4. After water cleaning, there are no stains on the sofa, which are so familiar to housewives when they try to clean the sofa themselves. As a result of professional cleaning, upholstered furniture remains impeccable both inside and out.
5. Water cleaning removes not only dirt and stubborn stains from upholstered furniture but also unpleasant odors.

When is the water cleaning method ineffective?

The water cleaning method is contraindicated for some types of upholstery fabrics.

Almost all upholstered furniture can be cleaned with wet cleaning technology. But in some cases, even gentle cleaning with minimal moisture treatment and mild detergents may be contraindicated for the upholstery of the sofa.

For example, with the right approach, even soft natural silk survives professional water cleaning without damage. But it is categorically impossible to use this method to clean upholstery made of natural silk hair. In this case, the upholstery fabric may deform and deteriorate irreparably. Only a specialist can determine the composition of the upholstery and the possibility of using wet cleaning technology with infallible precision.

Water cleaning may be ineffective if you yourself rubbed the upholstery with common household chemicals.

Unfortunately, in the quest for cleanliness, furniture owners often try to clean stains with any cleaning product they have on hand. Usually, these are Vanish, Fairy, or liquid soap. Such an attempt at self-cleaning generally ends with the appearance of stains on the upholstery. In this case, the stains that were on its surface slide further onto the sofa. This does not mean that water cleaning is strictly contraindicated in such a situation. But, most likely, it will simply be ineffective. Unfortunately, no specialist will give you a 100% cleaning guarantee after using products not intended for furniture care.
