What does upholstery cleaning in Montgomery County involve?
In Montgomery County, upholstery cleaning is carried out with truck-mounted hot-water extraction at 220°F, preceded by a dwell-time pre-spray and closed with a pH-balanced acid rinse.
A pH 9–10 alkaline enzyme goes down first and is given time to work. Extraction follows at 220°F, and an acid rinse at pH 3–5 neutralizes the residue rather than leaving it in the fiber.
You can sit on it again in 2 to 4 hours. Portable units leave upholstery wet for 6 to 12 hours, which is how a cleaned sofa develops a musty smell.
Only synthetic fabrics are cleaned — polyester, microfiber, olefin (polypropylene), nylon and most synthetic blends — and each piece is checked before any product touches it. For the tag itself, see how to read a furniture cleaning code.
Not cleaned: leather and faux leather, wool, linen, silk, velvet, viscose and rayon, acetate and triacetate.
