This Bathgate sofa showed visible discolouration associated with nicotine from smoking in the property. The aim was to deep-clean the upholstery and manage the risk of residues migrating back through the fabric as it dried.
Truck-mounted deep cleaning
We deep-cleaned the sofa using our truck-mounted system. After extraction, the upholstery was towelled and speed-dried rather than being left heavily damp.
Reducing the risk of wick-back
Once the upholstery was dry, we applied a post-clean treatment intended to reduce rapid resoiling and the risk of residual contamination wicking back through the fabric. With nicotine contamination, no responsible cleaner should promise that residues can never reappear; the treatment was used to manage that risk on this particular job.
A genuine before-and-after comparison
The photographs show the affected area before treatment and the same sofa after cleaning. They are presented as genuine job evidence rather than a guarantee that every nicotine-affected fabric will respond identically.
