Rugs & Carpets are used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference you need to know. A rug and carpet is used as decorative textile made of thick materials for centuries. Both are intended for covering floors. A rug is used often used as a partial floor covering. However, a carpet is used to cover a floor from wall to wall. Besides, a handmade carpet or rug is used as a work of art used to embellish interiors with exceptional beauty and luxury.

Some of the methods we employ for carpet cleaning are as below:

Steam Carpet Cleaning

Steam carpet cleaning also called hot water extraction uses hot water from steam to clean carpet surfaces. The hot water is sprayed into you your carpet under high pressure. This high pressure helps agitate the carpet fibers to remove deeply ingrained dust and dirt. A vacuum is used as a suction mechanism to suck out the water and dirt from the carpet surface. Drying the carpet takes anywhere between 4-6 hours.

Deep Carpet Cleaning

Deep carpet cleaning is similar to steam cleaning. The only difference is the use of cleaning products before applying steaming and vacuuming to give your carpet a professional clean. Cleaning solutions are applied at least two or three times until all dirt is removed from the carpet. This technique is used for soiled and soggy carpets which have been subject to heavy foot falls or have not been cleaned for a long time. It might take some time to dry before it is ready to use in your living spaces.

Bonnet Carpet Cleaning

Bonnet carpet cleaning uses a specialized motorized machine with an absorbent pad as part of the cleaning process.

A cleaning solution is uniformly applied to the carpet. The absorbent pad soaks up the moisture and dirt from the carpet’s surface. This cleaning method is commonly used in spaces like hotels and commercial establishments. Commercial grade carpets have a dense, non-fluffy pile that can be cleaned very well with bonnet cleaning.

Carpet Shampooing

Carpet shampooing is one of the oldest techniques which is economical and effective. A carpet shampoo is applied with the help of rotating brushes. It is left to dry for some time. As the shampoo dries it binds with the dirt inside the carpet and pulls it away from the carpet fabric. Special vacuum equipment is used to extract the shampoo and dirt from the carpet surface. Vacuuming leaves the carpet surface free from dust, grime and dirt.

Dry Carpet Cleaning

Dry carpet cleaning employs a special compound or powder in the cleaning process. The cleaning powder is bio degradable and acts like a micro sponge to absorb dirt. This powder is applied to your carpet with the help of counter rotating brushes, which are then vacuumed to remove the powder and dust.

Foam Cleaning

Foam cleaning is the latest carpet cleaning technique also called encapsulation. Specialty foam applied to a carpet surface creates bubbles and expands on the carpet. This foam when left to dry crystallizes into powder encapsulating the dirt also. A vacuum clean removes these foam crystals containing the dirt particles which were in the carpet. This method is effective for commercial establishments since it uses very little water and does not leave chemicals behind.

The advantages of employing the services of Adelaide Fibredry for all your carpet cleaning needs are:

Upholstery refers to all the materials like fabric, padding, webbing, and springs that make up the soft coverings of chairs, sofas and other furniture. Here are some of the upholstery cleaning solutions Adelaide Fibredry uses to help clean up.

A sofa and couch are used interchangeably; however, there are a few differences you need to know. A couch is derived from the French word “couche” used to describe a piece of furniture without arms. Couches for relaxing & lying down. But, a sofa is a long, upholstered seat with arms and a backrest.

Some sofas are designed to be converted into a bed also. A lounge is a very large room where people can sit and relax. They are comfortable waiting areas in public places. Lounges can be seen mostly in the hospitality, entertainment & aviation sector.

Natural Upholstery Fabric

Natural upholstery fabric refers to materials found in nature. They usually are plant fibers or materials derived from animal products. The most commonly used natural fabrics used as upholstery fabric are:
Cotton: Is a natural fibre that is resistant of wear, fading, and pilling. Cotton is susceptible to soil, wrinkling and fire.
Cotton Blend: These materials are sturdy and family friendly fabric when compared to cotton. This however depends on the blended fabric that has been weaved into cotton.
Linen: Linen is best suited for living rooms which soils and wrinkles easily. It cannot withstand heavy wear and tear, however they resist pilling and fading well.
Silk: Silk is a delicate fabric suitable for formal living rooms. This fabric adds a silky smooth texture to upholstery, but will need the help of a professional cleaner if soiled.
Vinyl: Vinyl fabric requires less care and are more affordable than leather. Vinyl is ideal for living and dining rooms, but its quality determines its durability.
Wool: Wool is always sturdy and durable. It offers good resistance to piling, fading, wrinkling and soiling. However, wool is blended with synthetic fibre and is easy to spot and clean.
Acetate: Is a synthetic fibre developed to imitate silk. Acetate can withstand mildew, pilling and shrinking. But, it does not offer good resistance to soiling. Acetate easily wears, wrinkles, and fades. Besides, it is not suitable for tough everyday use.
Acrylic: This is also a synthetic fibre developed to imitate wool. It easily resists wear, wrinkling, soiling and fading. High quality acrylics pill significantly less.
Microfibre: Is made of polyester and is a popular upholstery fabric known for its velvet like texture. It is durable, water resistant, stains and fades less. It is great to furnish high-use living areas.
Nylon: Nylon does not readily soil and wrinkle if blended with other stronger fabrics. Nylon is resilient when in a blend, it helps to eliminate the crushing of napped fabrics like velvet.
Olefin: Olefin is a good choice for furniture that has to withstand heavy wear and tear. It is resistant to stains, mildew, abrasion, and sunlight. Besides, it can be used for both the interiors and the exteriors.
Polyester: Polyester is rarely used in upholstery, but if blended with other fibers it can resist wrinkling, crushing of napped fabrics and reduce fading.
Rayon: It was developed as an alternative to silk, linen, and cotton. Rayon is durable but it does wrinkle. The latest high quality rayon fabric can be added to family-friendly upholstery fabric.

Leather is one of the most durable, low-maintenance surfaces you can have as part of your living spaces. It is a great material for furniture as it is easy to care for and adds the much needed luxurious styling your living space needs. But not all leather furniture is created equal. Good quality leather is tough, good to look and durable. Real leather always smells like leather.

Leather is broadly classified into two types protected and unprotected leather.

Unprotected Leather – This leather is made of unfinished leather. It has a soft, luxurious feel. Unprotected leather is dyed with aniline dye with no surface pigment added for colour. It has little or no protective coating which explains why it is perhaps not dirt resistant.

Protected Leather – Most leather furniture is made with protected or finished leather. Protected leather is durable, stain-resistance and uniform in appearance than pure aniline unprotected leather. It is durable due to a protective pigment coating that is rendered to it.

Leather always needs that special treatment for it to last for years. Using homemade quick fix solutions like mayonnaise or vinegar is a strictly out of the question. You will need the right cleaning materials to keep your leather upholstery durable and long lasting. Here are a few cleaning materials one would need to perform professional leather upholstery cleaning.

The steps you can take while cleaning protected leathers are as follows. It’s always prudent to start by cleaning spots that are inconspicuous and cannot be easily seen.

If you want your leather upholstery to be soft and supple, you can apply a commercial leather conditioner. This will help the leather to maintain its natural oils, besides a conditioner prevents leather from drying and cracking easily.

A mattress is a fabric case filled with resilient materials like cotton, foam, rubber or in an arrangement of coiled springs that can be used as a bed. Here are the surprising benefits of sleeping on a firm mattress. Investing in a quality mattress is a good investment.

Mattresses accumulate a lot of dust mites, dead skin and a whole lot more. Regularly cleaning your mattress helps extend the lifespan of your bed and keeps you safe from allergies. Adelaide Fibredry has the expertise and experience to help with regular mattress cleaning. Cleaning requires time, patience and the right tools to give your mattress the much needed refurbishment it needs. It is equally important that you clean your mattress on a regular basis.

Here are the benefits of using mattresses at home.

Here are some of the steps Adelaide Fibredry cleaning personnel will take to give clean and refurbish your mattress

A. Wash the Bedding

The first step would completely strip the bed and wash the sheets, pillowcases and blankets. It’s a good practice to wash the bed sheets weekly to keep your mattress clean.

B. Assess the Damage

Routinely checking how dirty your mattress and if stains are present is the key. We will check closely for signs of damage like stains, discoloration, wear & tear, and bad odor. This will indicate what action needs to be taken to rectify the damages.

C. Keeping the Right Supplies Handy

Adelaide’s Fibredry will have the right supplies at hand to help rectify any damaged found during the inspection. Some common cleaning supplies our personnel will carry include cold water, baking soda, towels for cleaning; bleach free unscented laundry detergent, and enzyme cleaner.

D. Vacuum Thoroughly

Applying the laundry detergent and enzyme cleaner with water on the dirty areas of the mattress is the next step. Vacuum cleaning with an upholstery attachment helps clean the entire surface of the mattress. The sides of the mattress are also cleaned to remove dust and stretch the fabric to remove dirt from the seams. Baking soda can also be used to eliminate hard to remove dirt from the mattress’s upholstery.

E. Spot Clean for Stains

The steps needed to clean stains are as follows:

F. Flip and Repeat

The mattress is flipped over to give the same treatment done previously. If the mattress is not flappable, the underside can still be cleaned. It is important to remember that memory foam mattresses are not designed to get wet, so it’s vital that a minimal amount of cleaning solution is used while cleaning them.

Stains are discoloration that is clearly visible on the surface where it is found. Staining makes materials appear used, degraded and unclean. Staining substances when spilled over a surface get trapped in the fibers, pores, indentations of the surface causing discoloration.

Adelaide Fibredry has the expertise to deal with stains on different surfaces. We specialize in using the right stain removal products that can remove stubborn fabric stains including grease, paint and rust. As a best practice, a stain removal practice is applied to an inconspicuous part of the fabric before using the stain removal product on the entire surface or fabric. Here are 10 effective stain removal products we use effectively to remove the hard to remove stains.

Chlorine Bleach and Colour Safe Bleach

Diluted household bleach is an effective stain remover for clothing and linen. However, it’s always wise to check the clothing labels for directions on the use of bleach. Bleaches are safe if they are properly diluted. It can be applied to fabrics like cotton, linen, rayon, nylon and polyester. As a precaution, only color-safe bleach is used on fabric that isn’t white.

Colour Remover

Colour removal products are used in situations when a colour runs into a nearby lighter color on the same garment or transfers to other fabric in the laundry. They are used to lift dye stains on clothes without damaging the product. It’s always prudent to remove the transfer stains before drying or ironing since heat will set the colour of the fabric.

Dry Cleaning Fluid or Petroleum-Base Pretreatment Solvent

Petroleum based solvents are used to remove stains caused by grease, gasoline or other petroleum products. These solvents are available as sticks, gels, squeeze bottles, pump sprays, and aerosol sprays. Dry cleaning fluids are used to treat stains from ballpoint ink, candle wax, crayons, eye makeup, lipstick and tar. Dry cleaning fluids are highly flammable and are handled with care by our stain removal experts.

Mild Dishwashing Detergent

Dishwashing liquid (not dishwasher liquid) is used for washing stained fabrics by hand. These liquids can break up grease and separate it from fabric. It is an effective product to loosen food stains. Dishwashing liquid can be mixed with glycerin and water to create a general stain-removing mixture.

Non Flammable (Non Sudsing) Ammonia

Non flammable ammonia is used for cleaning glass doors and windows. It works great for stains on surfaces that have odours coming from urine or perspiration. Diluting ammonia with an equal amount of water can help remove fatty or greasy stains from fabric. Ammonia should never be used on garments containing latex as ammonia can dissolve it. Ammonia is sparingly by our experts as it can turn toxic when combined with substances like bleach.

Paint Remover

Latex based spot removers are used to remove water based latex paint. For oil based paints a paint thinner is used, besides petroleum based solvents are used as a pretreatment before laundering.

Petroleum Jelly

Rubbing petroleum jelly is used to remove water based glues or adhesives stuck to the fabric. Petroleum jelly can be used for removing ink stains. The jelly forms a barrier around the ink stain while it is being treated. It helps to avoid the spreading of the stain to the adjoining fabric. Lipstick stains can also be effectively removed using petroleum jelly.

Prewash Spot Removers

Prewash spot removers are used to remove protein based stains like blood. These products are available as an aerosol, spray, stick, liquid, gel, foam, wipe, and powder. Prewash removers are convenient and are used for immediate stain treatment to remove protein based stains immediately

Rust Removers

Rust is one of the most difficult stains to treat. Rust removing solutions contain oxalic or hydrofluoric acid which is poisonous. It is because they suspend the iron oxide particle in water making it toxic. Our stain experts exercise great discretion while treating rust stains by using the proper safety equipment like goggles and gloves.

White Vinegar

Common white vinegar is a versatile solution for stains in the laundry. It can be used to treat collar rings, cough syrup, salt stains and urine stains on mattresses. Our stain experts know how to prepare vinegar based stain removal liquids on the go. They know how to mix vinegar with other common substances like baking soda and detergent to create customized cleaning solutions immediately.
