Sofa Cleaning (Chicago) 773-885-8528

We get all kinds of calls for professional sofa cleaning and for upholstery cleaning of various fabrics and weaves.  Of all the calls for sofa cleaning services, no fabric is asked about more than microfiber sofa cleaning.  Microfiber actually responds quite well to professional steam cleaning and spot treatment alike.  By comparison, microfiber is 1/100th the diameter of a human hair and 1/20th the diameter of a strand of silk. The most common types of microfibers are made from polyesters, polyamides (e.g., nylon, kevlar, nomex, trogamide), or a conjugation of polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene (Prolen).  What does this mean to the consumer and the cleaning professional?  A fabric that responds well to cleaning applications.  Since many towels are made in the microfiber genre they can be used repeatedly without having to discard them.  Thus, they hold up well over time’s wear and tear.  The same with the microfiber sofa.




Because of the chemistry of the synthetic materials put together, they respond well to wine spills, pop, crayon, and other potentially nasty stains.  It turns out that out of every 10 calls received for professional upholstery cleaning, at least 6 of those calls are related to a microfiber fabric for cleaning.  If the furniture you need cleaning is done by a professional who is certified and trained, it will come out looking almost like new.  There are still some stains that are a bit tougher to deal with than most, that is pet stains and pet odors.  No fabric is completely fool-proof when it comes to pet treatment needs.  But, still in all microfiber responds to the challenge well.  The microfiber sofa is the cleaning tech’s best friend.  Why?  Because like a true friend, it responds when called upon to do so.
