Preparation: Before starting the hot extraction process, it is important to prepare the upholstery by vacuuming it thoroughly. This helps remove loose dirt and debris from the surface, making the extraction process more effective.
Pre-treatment: Once the upholstery is vacuumed, a pre-treatment solution is applied to the fabric. This solution helps break down stubborn stains and loosens dirt particles embedded in the fibers.
Hot water or steam application: The next step involves applying hot water or steam to the upholstery using a specialized machine. The temperature of the water or steam helps to break down and dissolve dirt and stains, while also killing bacteria and allergens present in the fabric.
Agitation: After applying hot water or steam, a brush or agitator is used to gently scrub the upholstery. This helps further loosen dirt particles and ensures that the cleaning solution reaches deep into the fabric.
Extraction: The final step of hot extraction upholstery cleaning involves extracting the dirty water and residue from the fabric using a powerful vacuum system. This removes both the cleaning solution and loosened dirt particles from the upholstery.
