Hi all
I have just returned from a spa as I quoted them for the cleaning of 5 armchairs and foot stools. The footstools are minging with oils etc and when i put my hand on it they stick to the upholstery real bad. The fabric is cotton. How would you guys go about cleaning this and what chemicals would you use please.
Thanks in advance
Paul.

That makes sense. How can you quote a job if you dont know what is required? Anyway... Prochem Fabric Restorer and rinse with fibre and fabric.

If u dont have much experience i would keep the ph below 9 with the prespray and acid rinse on cotton, otherwise u could end up with a browning problem on your hands, dont want to come accross as been funny but have you considered a training course for upholstery before its too late.

Hi
Thanks for the advice Mark I have been on 2 training courses for upholstery, One with cleansmart and one with prochem. I was just looking to see what chemicals other peeps use as of course I am always looking for improvements

Hi Rik
Both courses are good but in all honesty i personally preferred the cleansmart course, it is instructed by Derek Bolton and he is one of the most respected teachers you will ever come across, definatly knows his stuff. They are based in Nottingham.
Their number is 0845 862 0209
Hope this helps

There are very few fabrics which are not wet-cleanable but the main ones you are likely to come across are cotton velvet and silk.
All that is required to assess whether the fabric is wet-cleanable is to test an area and look for pile damage or colour bleed.
