Did 2 Dralon armchairs on Friday, prochem fabric restorer, light aggitation fine mist acid rinse.... the water was tepid by the time I was applying it to the upholstery. I then used a micro fibre cloth to brush the fibres in the same direction..... Job's a fish!!!!
-
can't really add much to Colin's response except just be sure it is acrylic & wet cleanable, simple test back of the cushion, look for matting or pile distortion.
-
Acid rinse using machine and upholstery tool with
just warm water will do the trick then.
At about 200psi then groom??
-
130-150 psi will be suffice John, Make sure you check it is synthetic first and check for pile distortion, i would use PSG or fabric restorer and rinse with FF rinse.

J and S how long have you been cleaning?

I always aim to use 80psi as I find it more than adequate, but it's a personal choice! The way I see it is you only need to be clening a very thin layer of material and if you can avoid wetting the foam as much as possible, drying times will be a whole lot quicker! Backed up of course with an air mover!
-
250psi with a drimaster, dry before i leave. ;)

Shaun April 2007. Did the training in 1997.
Cheers guys for the replies just nice to get a bit of reassurance.
Normally just go in and clean but this customer made a point of
telling me it's Draylon.

The customer shouldn't have to tell you it's Dralon, you should know.
-
Glynn, I'm guessing that the conversation John had was over the phone.... In which case, how could he possibly know?
-
Even so, to ask how to clean Dralon.
Just what did they teach on that course ?.
In 1997 Dralon was hugely popular. Every professional carpet/upholstery cleaner should know how to clean Dralon.
-
To us old timers Dralon can be identified at a thousand paces but to some of these new guy's they are far and few these days not like when we started Glynn nearly every house had a dralon suite.
So i can sympathize with these new starters who confuse Chanelle with Dralon
-
Obviously he hasn't come accross Draylon a lot and maybe in the in the back of his head he's thinking "Velvet, Chenille?"! I've only cleaned 2 Draylon arm chairs in 15 months....
I always thought the whole point of this forum was for asking if unsure, at least he's asking and not just diving in willy nilly like a cowboy would!
It just bugs me when someone comes on to ask a genuine question and they get shot down in flames! There's really no need!

I see a lot because it's Grannyville round here. I think where you live has some bearing on the frequency you see them.
