cleaning microfiber

How is the best way to clean microfiber sofa?

 

[Spurling]

Take it outside .. pour degreaser all over it and then pressure wash it ..



Microfiber is usually loaded with oil .. so use something that will break it down .. brush it in .. using a drimaster type tool would be best to extract .. then brush the lines out

I don't have a drimaster

see my post on how to mix up the secret sauce for UPH
in this thread....viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19483 (last post)

I use this on micro fiber all the time and it works great....I use a internal jet UPH tool..
It is really pretty easy to clean.. spray on..scrub in and give it hell....it is the drying that really makes the difference....set up a blower get a horse hair brush or a dry towel..which ever works best for you and give it a nice appearance...

drymaster is a must if you do furniture great dry times

On most microfiber a simple wet rag will clean it.

microfiber is synthetic and usually solid color equals a good strong prespray, aggitate with a horse hair brush, extract with an upholstery tool, brush with a carding brush, collect check and walk away

I have one local company who refers their microfiber cleaning to me. I don't know why. I have never had a problem with them. I did 3 this week and all came out great. Lower the temp and psi and your good to go.

What temp and psi would be good

You gotta love Kriby vacuum sales people. We bailed there butts out again. Same type of people will let kriby in to demo then demand new furniture. We go in behind them and clean up after them.

Customer said it looked Brand New before kirby touched it. Then it was all messed up after they did there demo. She had 2 small kids and when we got there, one of the little girls spilt supposedly water on the cushions. I wanted to tell her so bad not to insult my intelligence.

We use Ultra Dry sprayed on and scrub it in, then fresh propane heated water rinse it. Never did have a problem in over 13yrs using that process.

I love microfiber. It always cleans up great for me. Cleaned one the other day that a kid had done allot of artwork on with a black marker. It looked like new when I was done. I use the Prochem tool and the mist and vac method for areas that do not need much cleaning. Microfiber that has been treated with protector sheds water, so you may want to take a towel if you are working on a hard surface floor. I will take Microfiber over light color cotton any day. No bleeding no browning. Make sure you groom the fiber with a towel or brush before it dries.

DON’T FORGET TO BRING A TOWEL!
You guys want to get high?

Drimasters are horrible on Micro fiber/ultra suede.

The vac port locks down and the spray shoots all over.


Pro Chem tool w/ Gglide is the way to go.

I agree, drimasters are terrible on microfiber. It's like taking a shower. I break out the trusty ol' hydry and let 'er rip.

If you keep the fabric tight with one hand .. using the drymaster is the perfect tool .. no overspray, running water or dripping.
