Most likely, we aim to eliminate 200% of the stains even more than the client themselves, because we are fanatics about our business and strive for perfection in every job.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to provide a guarantee that all stains will completely disappear. Many factors affect their adherence to the surface:

• The duration the stain has been on the fabric
• Humidity and temperature in the room
• The fabric composition and the composition of the stain itself
• The client's attempt to remove stains themselves can also have a negative impact, including the use of household chemicals (bleach, etc.) or unqualified dry cleaning (incorrect removal methods can permanently set the stains)

However, we still offer a guarantee. We assure you that we will truly give our utmost in any situation, no matter how challenging, and achieve the best possible outcome.

The price of professional furniture and textile cleaning at MISTER CLEANER is calculated individually. It is not based on generic flat rates, but on a technical assessment of the item and the actual scope of work, ensuring accuracy and safety for clients in Barcelona and nearby areas.

The process starts with a technical assessment of the leather type (aniline, semi-aniline, pigmented, or synthetic), its condition, wear level, and color sensitivity. Common contaminants include body oils, sweat, dust, cosmetics, and dye transfer from clothing.

Cleaning is carried out using professional leather-safe cleaning agents with controlled pH levels. Products are applied manually using soft brushes, sponges, or microfiber cloths. Contaminants are emulsified and gently lifted from the surface without soaking the leather or damaging its protective layer.

After cleaning, residues are removed and the surface is treated with conditioners and protective products that restore flexibility, prevent drying and cracking, and reduce future wear and contamination.

Proper leather cleaning results in a clean, even, and supple surface with a natural appearance, free from stickiness, streaks, or excessive shine.

Professional upholstery cleaning is carried out as a structured technical process consisting of several consecutive stages. Each stage is designed to safely remove contamination without damaging the fabric, internal filling, or furniture structure.

 

 

-Technical inspection of the upholstery and type of contamination.

-Dry removal of dust and abrasive particles.

-Application of professional cleaning agents matched to the fabric.

-Deep cleaning using injection-extraction, low-moisture, or combined methods.

-Technical rinsing and chemical neutralization.

-Optional treatments: deodorization, antibacterial, anti-allergen, or protective coating.

-Controlled drying to prevent odors, distortion, and secondary stains.

Professional upholstery cleaning is a precise technological procedure focused on hygiene, fabric safety, and long-term preservation of furniture.

Professional upholstery cleaning is a specialized technological process of deep cleaning textile and mixed upholstery materials in furniture using professional chemical agents, dedicated equipment, and regulated methods. Its purpose is to remove dirt, odors, and biological residues without damaging the fabric structure or the internal filling.

Unlike household cleaning, professional upholstery cleaning is not limited to surface washing or wiping. It is based on a technical understanding of upholstery composition (fibers, dyes, protective treatments), types of contamination (grease, proteins, tannins, pigments), and how materials react to moisture, alkaline agents, acidic agents, and solvents.

The procedure consists of several mandatory stages. First, a technical assessment is carried out to identify the type of fabric (synthetic, natural, or blended), color fastness, level of wear, and depth of contamination. Based on this assessment, suitable cleaning agents are selected according to their pH level and mode of action. Professional products may be enzymatic, alkaline, acidic, or neutral, depending on the type of contamination.

Cleaning is performed using injection-extraction systems, encapsulation technology, low-moisture methods, or a combination of these techniques. Contaminants are dissolved and extracted from the fabric structure along with accumulated dust, allergens, sweat residues, grease, and microorganisms. After the main cleaning stage, a technical rinse is applied, often with an acidic neutralizer, to remove chemical residues and stabilize the fibers.

The final stage includes controlled drying and, when required, additional treatments such as deodorization, antibacterial and anti-allergen treatment, odor neutralization, or the application of protective upholstery coatings.

The result of professional upholstery cleaning is not merely a visual improvement, but the restoration of the furniture’s hygienic condition, an extension of the upholstery’s service life, and preservation of its appearance without the risk of deformation, marks, or damage typical of non-professional cleaning.
