FB What are you guys using for dry clean...

What are you guys using for dry clean upholstery? I was going to clean a couch today but before I started I checked the label and said Dry clean only, it's a cotton couch.

Label means very little. Only concern for a white cotton is browning so use a reducer... If it's a cotton Jacquard, yer only worried about fugitive dyes so you clean with an acid. If it's a cotton velveteen, the nap needs special brushing... I'd only walk if it's a cotton velveteen but you can wet clean most cottons with enough knowledge about chemistry

Use a drymaster tool or the new sapphire tool. Ethan Allen puts the S tag on every piece of furniture no matter the material. Don't trust the tag.

I have a dri master from mytee, I will be cleaning it in a couple of days

When in doubt, vacume with a handheld vacume and clean with a dry cleaning solvent and a hand bonnet

The tag instructions are really for the owner not the professional cleaner. Even more are just plain wrong. A good upholstery cleaner with the right products and a low moisture tool can HWE clean 90+% of everything marked as dry clean only. Use Avenge Fabric Prespray or another product intended for natural fibers. Use an upholstery tool that leaves the fabric rather dry (I like the Sapphire Scientific and the Hydro-Kinetic tools). Do some dry strokes. Use an air mover across the fabric after cleaning.
