Hi guys, I just started the furniture(upholstery) cleaning business and trying to figure out all information about the chemicals to use.
I've read a lot of information before but still some things make me confused, hope for a help to make it clear.
As far as I know the upholstary cleaning process goes in such way:
1) depending on fabric we chose delicate or harder solutions.
2) pre-spray heavy soiled areas(if such exist) with Pre-spray solution + agitate with brush. If no hard areas we skip this step. (?)
3) cleaning the rest of the area with main cleaning solution(not so strong like pre-spray)
For example at the moment I often use Enz All as a pre-spray for hard areas, then spray formula 90 or Karcher RM960 on all the remaining area, then brush/rinse.
Considering all this I have few questions:
1) I am a bit confused Looking at TMF shop I see that most upholstary solutions like Revive and Black label are called Pre-spray, meaning I can only use them for pre-spraying hard areas, but I don't see any solutions for main cleaning, do they mean to use, the same solution(Pre-spray) for main cleaning too but less concentrated or how?
2) What about cleaning the delicate fabrics like silk etc? Do I understand right there that delicates are afraid of acid or alkile so I don't use any pre-sprays or strong solutions and no metter how dirty it is, the only choice I have is using some neutral foam shampoo like RSF cotton shampoo + agitatation then extraction?
Thanks!
