Filthy furniture?

[Warren Wallace]

I have about 40 different piece's of furniture to clean, there is 13 lunch chairs that are
in rough condition. The maintance guy has cleaned by hand no extraction over the
last 13 years and it shows, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks inadvance Warren

Most commercial fabrics can withstand quite a bit.

I would concentrate on the preconditioning (taken from Jim's MF6 class), give it plenty of dwell time and then rinse. Should respond well to cleaning and go fairly easy.

Have one tech precondition the fabric. Then another follow with a rince.

The first tech can also post towel if nessecarry and apply the protector.

You can clean up to 1000 lunchroom type chairs a day this way.

judsons mixed 2 oz per gallon 10 min dwell and wammo

You might think about using an acid rinse on the ones that were cleaned by hand. I bet they are full of soap.

the O2, brush it in, dwell, rinse really well. Use heat.
Have a stronger spot cleaner handy, ie a spray bottle with a strong prespray.
If its lunch room chairs, try some restaurant prespray

02 and if that don't get it a spritz of Magic Bullet followed by a horse hair rub down

If there's that much soap in it already, try rinsing first to see if you get any reaction to begin with. If you do, a good neutral prespray boosted with some citrus and acid rinse will do wonders.

You may consider have a bit of oxidizer in it depending if there are a lot of drink and food spills.
