A colourfastness test takes 10 minutes and prevents bleeding or fading. The technician rubs a hidden seam with a white cloth dampened in the cleaning agent. If dye transfers, they switch to a milder product. Skipping this step is the most common cause of ruined cushions in viscose or silk blends.
After extraction, a moisture meter should read below 15 percent before cushions are reused. Air movers cut dry time from 8 hours to about 3 hours. Keep the room between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius with a fan running. Sitting on damp fabric invites mildew within 48 hours.
Reputable cleaners carry at least 1 million in liability insurance and offer a written guarantee against colour loss or shrinkage for 14 days. Ask for a certificate of insurance and read the exclusions. Manufacturer warranties often require documentation from a certified technician to stay valid.
Hot water extraction leaves cushions damp for 6 to 12 hours depending on room humidity and airflow. Dry foam methods cut that window to roughly 2 to 4 hours. Running a dehumidifier or fan cuts drying time by about a third. Ask the technician to quote expected dry time based on the chosen method.
Common failures include browning from over-wetting, dye bleed between fabric panels, shrinkage on cotton or linen, and foam swelling that warps cushions. Delicate trims such as piping and zippers can discolour if soaked. Insist on a written pre-inspection report listing risk areas before any work starts on your piece.
Ask which cleaning method matches your fabric code, what pre-treatment is included, who carries insurance for damage, and what the drying time will be. Request written confirmation of the total price, the number of technicians, and the estimated job duration. Clarify the reschedule policy in advance.
Look for a truck-mounted or portable extraction machine with at least 500 mmHg vacuum strength. Upholstery wands between 10 and 15 cm wide reach tight seams. A water-safe vacuum, moisture meter, and air movers indicate a serious setup. Handheld brushes should have soft bristles under 20 mm long.
Some shops remove loose covers and submerge them in a 40-litre bath. This suits cotton slipcovers but risks shrinkage of 3 to 5 percent and seam puckering. Reupholstering a fitted cushion can cost as much as the cleaning itself, so ask whether the shop measures before and after washing.
Spring and early autumn are peak seasons and slots fill 2 to 3 weeks ahead. Mid-winter often brings same-week availability. Emergency stain jobs may carry a 25 to 40 percent surcharge outside normal hours. Booking a combined carpet and upholstery visit usually lowers the per-item rate.
Oil, ink, red wine, urine, and old coffee stains usually need pre-treatment before extraction. Pre-treatment adds 10 to 20 minutes per spot and a small surcharge per area. Some dye-based stains cannot be removed fully without risking fabric damage. Request a test patch on a hidden seam first.
