Upholstery Cleaning Lawrence KS: How Hot Carbonating Extraction Treats Fabric

Brooke’s Chem-Dry provides upholstery cleaning in Lawrence, KS with Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE). Our core cleaner, The Natural®, uses carbonation to help lift dirt, oils and soil out of the fabric, and extraction pulls it out. HCE doesn’t rely on soapy detergents or harsh chemicals, and it leaves no dirt-attracting residue behind, so the fabric has nothing left in it to draw new dirt.

It also uses about 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning.

How we read your fabric before the first pass

Most upholstery carries a cleaning code on a tag under a cushion or along the frame. The letters are the manufacturer’s guidance on what the fabric can take: W means water-based cleaning, S means solvent-based cleaning only, WS means either, and X means vacuum only.

The technician reviews the material first, and fabric cleaning codes W, WS and S guide the method from there. A velvet, a chenille and a microfiber can all carry the same letter and still behave differently once they get wet, which is why the review covers the fabric itself and not only the tag.

Can pet odors come out of a chair or sofa?

Often, yes, but it depends on how far the urine went. Urine soaks through the fabric into the foam, and cleaning only the surface leaves the source behind. On synthetic fabrics, the technician can use P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) after reviewing the material, and other urine treatment options are available when it isn’t the right fit. P.U.R.T. removes pet urine odors from carpets, and the technician decides whether it fits your fabric.

We’ll tell you what we can do before we start. If your pet has also had accidents on the floor, see our pet odor removal in Lawrence page, and our carpet cleaning in Lawrence page for the cleaning itself.

Why call Brooke’s Chem-Dry for furniture cleaning in Lawrence?

Brooke’s Chem-Dry Lawrence is family-owned and has served Lawrence and Douglas County since 2005, so when you call (785) 760-8000 you reach a local team. The technician reviews your fabric and the soil level first.

HCE also removes non-living allergens from the fabric, which matters in a household where the same chair gets used every day. Stains vary, so see stain removal in Lawrence, KS.

What moves the price of an upholstery cleaning

Three things set the price of a piece: its size, the fabric and how soiled it is. A single dining chair is a small job and a sectional is a large one. Pet urine in a cushion is a separate question from surface soil, so tell us about it when you call. The $140 minimum service charge in the Specials below is the floor, so the call is also the moment to ask about the other chairs.

Pre-treatment and the final rinse

Heavy soil sometimes needs extra help. Pre-treatment happens before the main cleaning and the final rinse comes at the end. We use them when the technician’s review of the soil level calls for it, not on every job, so a lightly used chair may need neither.

Furniture, carpet and rugs in the same house

Furniture and floors pick up the same crumbs, pet hair and tracked-in soil, so they tend to need attention around the same time. If you are also cleaning floors, see our carpet cleaning in Lawrence, KS and rug cleaning in Lawrence, KS pages. The Specials below list the upholstery, carpet and new customer coupons together.

Upholstery Cleaning Lawrence KS: Frequently Asked Questions

What does upholstery cleaning cost in Lawrence?

The price depends on the size of the piece, the fabric and how soiled it is. There’s a $140 minimum service charge (see the Specials below), and a single chair is priced differently than a sectional. Read what upholstery cleaning costs in Lawrence for the details, or call (785) 760-8000 and we’ll give you a straight answer for your furniture.

Where do I find my furniture’s cleaning code?

Look for a tag under a seat cushion or along the frame, or check the paperwork that came with the piece. Call (785) 760-8000 and read us the letters. The technician still reviews the material before any cleaning starts.

Can I sit on the furniture the same day?

Most pieces are dry in about 1 to 2 hours. Steam cleaning can take up to 12 to 24 hours, so a steam-cleaned sofa is off limits for most of a day. Our Chem-Dry vs steam cleaning page covers the full comparison.

Do you clean commercial partitions?

Yes. Commercial partitions are on our list, along with the household pieces above. Call (785) 760-8000 for a free estimate and tell us how many pieces you have and what fabric they are covered in.
