Linen upholstery.

How do you deal with subtle soiling when the typical " linen" (!beige) color gets so dark when it gets wet, do you :

-Only clean in plant, touch up when dry.

- Force dry in the client's home.

-Go back and touch up, if needed..

-Sorry mam, thens permanent.

When I get a plant to clean it in…I’ll clean it.

Until then, I don’t clean

It's hard to tell when it's clean. Good prespray, thorough scrub, rinse evenly and do multiple dry passes. Use fans. Do the worst pieces first, often they will be dry before you leave.

I have a linen specific upholsterer who refers all of his clients to me. Becomes easy after a while.

Don't stress the wet spots..

Don't stress the wet spots..

Linen is pretty strong. This is one fabric where I prefer my PMF internal jet tools. You just have make sure your spray is even. True low moisture tool.

[Mikey P]

We just has two linen-with-crewel-work chairs come in. We don't do much upholstery in the shop anymore, so someone in the office must have had an idea these would be trouble.

They were browned out so badly that they looked burnt. I asked the drivers why they'd bothered to bring them in, they said the customer understood that there wasn't much chance of saving them and paid in advance.

Took two weeks, but they went back today looking great. Our tech lost his butt over making it a personal quest to fix them. Hopefully the customer is grateful enough to post a good review and we can reward him for that.

and no pics...

I could look up the before pics, but I didn't see the chairs after cleaning until they were loaded in the delivery truck. I wasn't digging them back out to take a photo. Now I'm not going to bother posting the before pics since that would just invite more trolling.

Come on. You can take it.

 

[The Great Oz]

Actually, I should have thought about the pictures. Not as proof, just as an example of a 'total loss' situation that was actually fixable.

The tech won't do it again on his dime, and our actual time cost would have been more than replacement, so I would still reject the next one.

I warned the guy, pissed on all the frames and the dogs use it as a bed.

Thought it looked bitchen until it didn't.

3 seat cushions streaked.

He was an ex cleaner and swore he was replacing it just do.your best.

I got the pee stains off frames came out great.

I told him throw those last cushions in the washer with oxydol. And put them back on the foam to dry.

 

[SamIam]

I need to charge more for the magic.
