Step 2 -Vacuum
At least 70% of all dirt contained within upholstery is dry particulate dirt that we remove By vacuuming. Missing this crucial step and jumping straight to adding water & chemicals is a classic mistake made by armatures.
Step 3 - Pre-Spray & Spot Treatment
High traffic areas like arms and seat edges, spills and stains are pretreated with One Earth Upholstery pre-spray, which is an effective safe and Ecofriendly spot & stain remover. If advanced spot & stain treatments are required we will discuss the options available to you that will remove the stains without damaging the upholstery fibers in the process.
Step 4 - Agitations
After allowing our specialist pre-spray, sufficient dwell time to work their magic we gently massage the upholstery fibers, which not only helps to emulsify the dirt & release it, ready for extraction but also helps lift the pile.
Step 5 – Extract & Rinse
Citrus does not use harsh soaps, sticky shampoos or toxic detergents to remove & mask the smells, dirt, stains & bacteria found in upholstery. We us non toxic GREEN cleaning solutions combined with Energised Water Technology that not only cleans, but also flushes out old detergents lets by traditional upholstery cleaners, leaving your upholstery residue free clean & safe & because there are no residues your upholstery will dry quicker & remain cleaner for longer.
Step 6 – Manual Drying & Pile Re-Alignment.
Using clean dry toweling cloths we manually dry all the upholstery & prop up the cushions where possible, for maximum air flow & lightning fast drying times. The longer the fabric pile the more visually beneficial pile grooming becomes, because with normal use & soiling, the face yarns can become crushed. Using an upholstery pile brush, our technician’s groom the face yarns lifting & separating them while prepare them to receive, a stain guard protection. This process also ensuring the best visual finish for your upholstery and speeds up the drying time.
Step 7- Stain Guard Protection
When and only when, your upholstery has been thoroughly deep cleaned & our technicians are convinced you will be amazed at the result, do they apply the upholstery protector. At Citrus we use StainShield™ Professional to protect your upholstery, which will keep your upholstery looking cleaner for longer. StainShield™ Professional is a Woolsafe approved product for superior upholstery protection. Areas treated will remain cleaner for longer & resist stains, by repelling oil and water-based soils & protecting your upholstery fibers from dry particulate damage.
Finally we reveal the results of our 7 Steps to Wow Ultimate Upholstery Deep Clean. Although our process cleans better, leaves no residue so your upholstery stays cleaner for longer and dries quicker, to ensure that your upholstery is completely dry we leave a turbo drying pod with you over night & arrange to return & collect driers the following day.
We recommend you ALWAYS get upholstery protector applied, when you have your upholstery cleaned as it will stay cleaner for longer and will protect it against those accidental spills and stains.
