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!!!!

[Simon@arenaclean]

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.

[JandS]

Acid rinse using machine and upholstery tool with
just warm water will do the trick then.
At about 200psi then groom??

[markpowell]

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.

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.

[daysdeepclean]

Glynn, I'm guessing that the conversation John had was over the phone.... In which case, how could he possibly know?

[Glynn]

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.
