How to clean Dralon?

Fashion from a by-gone era....BACK!

Don't remember Dralon? Ask your Mum. Still not getting it?

Dralon is an artificial fibre developed in the 1950's to be useful across a range of fashions, upholstery, work wear, furniture, etc. The benefit of a manufactured/developed fibre over a naturally occurring one is durability and overall usefulness.



What makes Dralon such a good fabric? Cleaning and durability.
 

When it comes to cleaning your Dralon sofa or chairs there is one thing to be wary of, above all else, 

Art of clean has had much experience working with furniture upholstered in Dralon fabric, the results are always very successful due to the nature of the fabric.

A regular general clean will keep your furniture looking good and help the fabric last longer. Here’s a brief explanation of how to clean Dralon:

• Brush the fabric with a soft brush to loosen any dust and dirt
• Then give it a through vacuuming throughout
• To remove light grease and dirt marks, particularly around armrests and headrest, apply an upholstery cleaning product with a clean cloth, working it in to the affected area gently – try to blot rather than rub the material.
• Then brush the fabric to restore the texture and leave it to dry.

Another Note: if there are creases, you can do away with them by simply brushing the area with a damp cloth. The pesky dent or crease will rise.

Remember, not all cleaning jobs are fun and few are as easy as a 'How To' guide makes them seem. If you're in any doubt, call the Professionals.

Upholstery Cleaning in Cambridge

Upholstery cleaning is often a challenge, but the result is nearly always a revelation and seeing is, after all, believing. Ben, our new lad, set to work on these fine pieces.

Here you can see the difference in the before and after shots. It's so very easy to let furniture accumulate dirt and drain the life from it. You sit there, day after day, year in, year out and the change is barely noticeable. It's only when professionals, like Ben, get there hands on your upholstery, that the revelation can start.

These were a few particularly splendid pieces and it's always a pleasure for us when we are able to reveal the beauty within the beast. You know what, there's a rather nice rug there too...

How to clean Dralon

Fashion from a by-gone era....BACK!

Don't remember Dralon? Ask your Mum. Still not getting it? Well this video might leave you even more confused, mainly because it's in German, but we'll do our best to expound. 

Dralon is an artificial fibre developed in the 1950's to be useful across a range of fashions, upholstery, work wear, furniture, etc. The benefit of a manufactured/developed fibre over a naturally occurring one is durability and overall usefulness. No dry-cleaning is required and when you have a Dralon carpet, it's even dirt-proof, or so they say, but you'll still need to vacuum it from time-to-time.

When it comes to cleaning your Dralon sofa or chairs there is one thing to be wary of, above all else, Do Not use water over 50 degrees Celsius or 122 degrees Fahrenheit. If you hire a cleaning company and they come with a steam cleaner, advise them to keep walking...it isn't going to do your sofa any good at all.

If you choose to clean it yourself, it's a case of following the instructions we provide there:

Step One; brush the sofa or chair with a soft brush, it's a soft sofa after all. Remove all the unwanted dirt and sweep it into a bin bag or some such receptacle. 

Step Two; using the upholstery nozzle thing, give it a good vaccing. Centre on the arms and headrests as they receive the most grease and oils from you head and hands.

Step Three; if you need it, there's a grease solvent that can remove a good deal of stains. Simply apply and blot.

Step Four; apply a dry foam upholstery cleaner with a synthetic sponge.

Note: always follow the instructions on the bottle!

Step Five; when it's cleaned and dry, just brush it and vacuum it once more...to restore the texture of the sofa and also for good luck.

Another Note: if there are creases, you can do away with them by simply brushing the area with a damp cloth. The pesky dent or crease will rise.

Remember, not all cleaning jobs are fun and few are as easy as a 'How To' guide makes them seem. If you're in any doubt, call the Professionals.
