New Techniques In Furniture Cleaning Allow For Faster Drying
The next step, fiber identification , is the part where you really need to be experienced because your fiber type will dictate if your cleaning solution is going to be alkaline or acid-based. In many cases, the furniture tag will give a description of the material composition . If you can't find the tag and you're unsure of the fiber type then a quick burn test will suffice. In this case, a small fiber clipped from underneath the furniture will work. A trained technician will know what he is dealing with based on the odor from the smoke. Once you know what the fiber type is then you'll know what solution to use to clean the furniture. The pH scale plays a very simple role in the process . Natural fibers should be cleaned on the acid side and synthetic fibers get the best results with an alkaline cleaner. The inexperienced technician should just stay with synthetic-based fibers if they do not understand the pH scale (this is most common). To keep it simple, we'll f...
