UPHOLSTERY
Who can I trust not to ruin my upholstery?
If you're a connoisseur of fine furnishing who is experiencing trepidation about cleaning your upholstery, it's justified. We have heard many horror stories about a clients fabric being ruined by improper cleaning methods. Yes, I have even heard some of the unqualified carpet cleaners that don't even have insurance to purchase a replacement. Most people wouldn't hire a contractor without checking their credentials, but that is just what most people do when they hire a carpet cleaner.

How will you clean my Upholstery?
Too often other carpet cleaner's skip required preparation because of a tight schedule. This is where Vanguard Upholstery Cleaning out-shines the other unqualified companies. When we're at your location nothing else exists but our irresistible passion in making you feel delighted!
It's Our Distinct Pleasure to Do the Following:
1.) Pre-inspection/Pre-Vacuuming
We first inspect for tears and broken seams and report ASAP. We thoroughly vacuum loose debris from your upholstery to reduce the possibility of cleaning mishaps.
2.) Pre-Condition/Pre-Test
We pre-test for colorfastness and overall cleaning ability. Once we're sure of the results, we apply a non-toxic, PH-balanced cleaning cleaning product that lifts unwanted soil off your upholstery.
3.) The Cleaning Process
Our low moisture finger-touch extraction tool cleans without leaving the padding soaked. All sides of your upholstered pieces, including the decking, skirting, arm covers, and lastly the cushions. Your furnishings never have to leave your home, its cleaned onsite. Your upholstery dries faster without leaving any soil-attracting residue that will irritate someone's skin. Our cleaning technique beautifies and brightens the color of your upholstery.
4.) Rinsing Process
Vanguard Upholstery Cleaning uses an onboard Kinetico Water Refinement Filtering System. This removes all the calcium, magnesium and chlorine from the cleaning water. The cleaning benefit of our conditioned water is it improves the overall rinsing while removing dirt, pervious soaps and oily-protein residues. The filtering balances the PH of your delicate cottons and fine fabrics eliminating any cleaning mishaps. No other cleaning company has this system. It was custom assembled to our exact specifications.
Does the tag on your upholstery recommend dry cleaning only?
Fact: In rare cases we discover furniture that requires dry cleaning which means using oil-based solvents, not water-based solutions. Oil-based dry cleaning compounds tend to be very aggressive on fabrics and leave a questionable cacogenic residue that can rub off and possibly enter your bloodstream. The fumes can cause dizziness if a respirator isn't used and possible death if your child were to ingest. Dry cleaning compounds are too much of a risk because of their possible cacogenic nature. For this major reason we decline to provide this cleaning service.
Most colorfast fine fabrics on the market can be cleaned with our patented finger-touch low-moisture extraction process for maximum cleaning results. Since this is the case, the manufacturer tags are ignored by the cleaning industry on the whole as being dated. In conclusion, we can't purchase your business, but earn it by providing you great service. I hope this information assisted you in deciding to hire Vanguard Carpet Cleaning for cleaning your fine furnishings.
