most of the time i use pure clean ,  but on really bad suites i use Hydramasters soil break with good results,  never really got on with fab restorer.  most important thing with uphlstery imo is dwell time

Agitate and dwell and away you go.

Len, I don't use much SM stuff!  What product you got anyway?

Craig, you'll have to find the best solution that suits you, there's no "one size fits all" but the nearest is a colloidal product such as nemesis or m-power.  Because you don't have to extract these products you can spray the whole suite with it, extract the dirtiest bits maybe after over-spraying with something stronger from a trigger spray, then just wipe round the backs & sides with a towel to finish them off

Hi Criag,

I don't think there is a chemical that does them all. As mentioned, Pure Clean, SPM, Fabric Restorer etc are the most obvious ones, but the skill in being a good upholstery cleaner is in your ability to recongnise where different parts of a suite aren't responding well and being able to think through why that may be and knowing which additional product to use to improve it so you get an even colour match across the whole suite. That is why it is important to have a wide range of products to hand so you can deal with any situation.

I'm getting absolutly cracking results at the moment, with pre spray of Nemisis/M Power aggitate, set up equipment, then light overspray with SPM aggitate then extract, i really can't believe some of the results i'm getting! As NVW is fully aware i haven't really got on with his products but i had a problem suite the other week and nothing seemed to be working so i tried this combo and i was shocked, thought it must of been the other chems i'd tried as well, so i've been using just this combo since, and its just brilliant!

I started using Craftex advanced formula fabric cleaner from John Kelly about 6 months ago with some fantastic results on heavily soiled suites.

I have tried a few and find that to really get a good result on upholstery Fabric Restorer does the business, it seems to be the one which really breaks up the grease on arms of chairs, we do a lot of care homes so we prespray generally with FabRest, agitate, re-prespray bad areas, scrub again and then extract with FibFab,
