Don't let just anyone clean your sensitive upholstered fabrics!

Craig’s Upholstery Cleaning Birmingham, AL. are experienced in cleaning the finest upholstered fabrics. Our technicians will always follow a 12 stage process when cleaning upholstery.

Step 1: Pre-Inspection

Our technician will perform special tests to determine the content of your fabric. The content will determine what type of cleaning solutions and techniques will be used. We will also point out any potential permanent stains or areas of concern.

Step 2: Area Preparation

We will prepare the area where the upholstery will be cleaned, to protect your surrounding furnishings and floor coverings.

Step 3: Pre-Vacuum

All textiles should be vacuumed thoroughly before cleaning. This step will remove all dry soils and any loose particles from cracks and crevices.

Step 4: Pre-Treatment

Depending on your fabric, a special solution designed for your fabric type and the soiling condition will be applied to "emulsify" the soil.

Step 5: Pre-Spot

Any potentially difficult spots will be pre-treated with special solutions to increase our chances of removal.

Step 6: Pre-Groom

The fabric will then be gently groomed using soft upholstery brushes to loosen the soil.

Step 7: Soil Extraction and Rinse

The soil is then extracted from the fabric with a gentle, controlled rinse using our Drimaster upholstery tools, which ensure that your fabrics never get over-wet and the maximum amount of dirt and soil is extracted..

Step 9: Post Spot

Any remaining spots will be treated with special stain removal products.

Step 10: Post Groom

The upholstery will then be prepared for drying with a gentle combing of the fabric.

Step 11: Turbo Drying

We place air movers in the cleaning area to encourage much faster drying of the fabrics. Sometimes upholstery is touch dry before we leave.

Step 12: Post Cleaning Inspection

Our technician will review the cleaning results with you to insure that your expectations have been met or exceeded.



For longer fabric life and fewer permanent stains, we recommend that you go for our post cleaning upholstery service and have Fabric Protector applied!!
