All upholstery is carefully inspected prior to cleaning for faults, rips, tears and for cleaning instructions form manufacturers. We then decide on the most suitable cleaning process according to the type of material and degree of soiling. To prepare for cleaning your upholstery, we place a plastic cover on the floor and cotton sheets over this to protect the floor covering. We also place cotton sheets on surrounding furniture to protect them.
