Start with the manufacturer’s label
Look beneath removable cushions and under the platform for the composition and care information. Keep a clear photograph of every label when requesting a quote.
Common upholstery fibres
Polyester and other synthetics are widespread, while cotton, linen, viscose, wool and blended fabrics can require more controlled methods. Velvet describes a fabric construction rather than one single fibre.
Testing before cleaning
A technician may test colour stability, absorbency, texture and response in an inconspicuous area before choosing extraction or a lower-moisture process.
Why a full-sofa photograph helps
A full view shows size, cushion construction, fixed sections and high-use areas. Close-ups and label photographs help identify potential risks before arrival.
