The Micrionix™ dry cleaning process can be safely used on virtually any type of furnishing fabric. However, pre-testing for colourfastness in an inconspicuous area will identify any loose dyes within the fabric. Most of the dirt in soft furnishings is loose dirt and dust, either adhering to the fabric surface or penetrated through to seat padding and in mattress cavities. Thorough vacuuming will remove the vast majority of this dirt from all types of soft furnishings. The more powerful the vacuum the greater the amount of loose dirt is removed.
Spillages of tea, coffee, red wine, food, etc. quickly become embedded into fibres to form stubborn stains. Using colloid technology 'XSA All Purpose Cleaner' simply digests virtually all non-set stains including chewing gum with just one product and is quickly wiped away, ideally with a ZMFC microfibre cloth. Embedded dirt is removed in minutes. Taking into account that upholstery fibres may distress more easily than carpets, rubbing should be minimised particularly on velvet. Provided they are tackled quickly enough stains from urine and other bodily fluids can be removed from mattresses with XSA. For heavy grease spillages on restaurant chairs a pre-treatment with 'XSG Grease Digester' breaks down the grease to allow total removal.
Over time dirt particles become stuck to fibres and resist removal by vacuuming. On upholstery and soft furnishings stuck dirt is generally restricted to the surface of the fabric. 'XSU Universal Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner' breaks down the bond which keeps the dirt stuck to the fibres. Using a fogger or spray mister to apply XSU prevents fabrics getting wet; enabling furnishings to be quickly back in action. The stuck dirt is removed using a Micrionix™ ZMFM super-split microfibre upholstery mitt. A final vacuum will ensure upholstery is available for use in minimal time.
Furnishings cleaned with Micrionix™ are back in action in minimal time and do not contain residues which would otherwise speed resoiling.
To prevent further spots and spills from becoming embedded stains, simply spray with 'XSR- Rescue!' as soon as possible and remove with a ZMFC microfibre cloth. |

Using 'Wet extraction' or shampoo equipment? Treat loose dirt and embedded dirt as described above, then use XSW Wet Extraction Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner in virtually any wet extraction or carpet shampooer to break down the bonds which hold the stuck dirt to the fibre. XSW gives similar cleaning results to XSU, but drying times are extended and dictated by the equipment used.
