You just never know what lurks deep within..

Wow is that dust or is the cushion core breaking down?

Yes we pre-vacuum, most of the soil (and dried boogers) comes out easier dry. On some material the piece actually looks clean just from vacuuming.

Always the top and arm corners where the dust tends to gather. If white I vacuum the whole thing usually.

so you don't vacuum minority's upholstery?

if i prevacced id have to charge more. if i charge more i wont be working as much. im not working much as it is so ummm no i dont prevac anything. ok i have a few exceptions, frikkin dog hair! i have a couple jobs i do twice a year and if i dont vac its so much harder because of the hair woven into the fibers. i charge more for those and use my pilelifter on the carpet only. the furniture takes longer but its just a couple jobs.

And you can also give the customer a prostate exam at the same time! Unless it's a female

I give it a smack with my hand and if dust lifts off the surface then I vac if not I don't.

I guess depending on how much you charge, that might seem appropriate.

If you guys would charge more for upholstery you would never leave out that critical step. Prevacing furniture since 1973--Best Way Carpet Cleaning.

You could make a difference in those seats before even starting your truck!! Don't fart on those seats or it'll leave a dust storm!!

I'm always amazed at what I can get from some furniture fabric. Got pictures. The arms, front of arms, lower back area, top of back, and the cushions.

In the shop alternate vacuuming with compressed air. It's amazing the crap you get out dry.

I vacuum upholstery using a super powerful back pack with a turbo brush.The vibration of the brush with powerful vacuum does an amazing job.
