Step 2: Test
A hidden patch with the cleaner we plan to use, checked for color transfer.

Step 3: Vacuum and pre-treat
Loose dirt out first, then spots treated by hand.

Questions
Upholstery questions
How long does it take to dry?
Most pieces are dry to the touch in several hours with a window open or a fan on. We tell you at the visit.
What if the tag says X?
X means vacuum only. We will not wet it, and we will say so instead of taking a risk with your sofa.
Can you get out an old stain?
Sometimes. We treat it and tell you what changed. Stains that have dyed the fiber do not always lift.
Send a photo of the sofa
Include the tag if you can find it. A written price comes back within one business day.
