COMMON CONCERNS

• Slow dry time
• Banged up furniture and
walls
• Pre-treatment solution
splashed on furniture and
walls

Basic Steps:

Synthetic Upholstery, Nylon, rayon, polyester, office work chairs. use this methode. Any others like wool or cotton can also use this methode, but test for bleeding and possible shrinkage.

1. Vacuum thoroughly. It is easier to remove dry dirt than to clean mud. (if Upholstery is not too dirty this step may be skiped)
2. Pre-spray the Upholstery with a cleaning chemical designed for Upholstery.
• If the Upholstery is synthetic, such as nylon, the product should have a pH of 7 or less.. 
• orx 1/2
3. Agitate the pre-conditioner with a upholstery brush on heavy areas to penetrate the soils. Allow adequate dwell time (ideally 5–10 minutes). Remember, the longer the pre-conditioner is allowed to dwell, the greater the soil suspension. Be careful not to allow the product to dry on the Upholstery.
4. 
5. Thoroughly extract the area using hot water and an alkaline detergent to suspend and rinse the soil from the Upholstery.
