Dry Cleaning Machine - For Upholstery, Furniture and Drapery Cleaning

For greater versatility and profits in your carpet cleaning operation, you can now on-location dry clean “S” labeled dry-clean-only upholstery and draperies with the Bane-Clene Dry Cleaning Machine.

The Bane-Clene Dry Cleaning Machine is designed to clean upholstery labeled as Code “S” dry-clean-only by the furniture manufacturer where using water-based or detergent-based cleaners may cause excessive shrinkage, dye bleeding and water stains.

Even though upholstered furniture often comes with Code “S” dry-cleaning-only tag, very few types of fabric furniture actually must be dry cleaned. Upholstery manufacturers frequently recommend dry cleaning because it limits their liability. Of course, there are rare cases of upholstered furniture that truly does require dry cleaning.

Cleans carpets, upholstery, drapes, office furniture, oriental rugs, fabric panels, lampshades, and more. Always dry-clean curtains and drapes with stitched-in pleats or swags, wool and cashmere.

Directions for Dry Cleaning Upholstery and Drapes with Solv-A-Clene™ Upholstery and Drapery Dry Cleaning Solvent:

1. Add Per-Scent^® fragrance to the Solv-A-Clene before using.
2. Always use Solv-A-Clene in a well ventilated area.
3. No smoking while dry cleaning upholstery and drapery.
4. Keep away from ALL open flame sources.
5. NOTE: The solvents evaporating into the air may set off a smoke alarm!
6. Test all fabrics for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area. Determine if piece should be wet or dry cleaned, then proceed accordingly.
7. Vacuum thoroughly to remove loose soil and grit.
8. Carefully inspect upholstery for tears, worn areas, missing legs, etc. Note same and call customer before proceeding if conditions are severe. Heavily soiled areas should receive special attention during dry cleaning operation and then may require special wet spotting after dry cleaning.
9. Almost all fabrics can be dry cleaned safely. However, some upholstery dyes may be solvent soluble and should be tested prior to cleaning. These usually are a bright print on a white background.
10. Move the furniture piece onto one or more furniture pads. Keep carpeting or hardwood floors dry while cleaning furniture with the Bane-Clene fully padded and quilted furniture cleaning blanket.
11. Lightly overspray heavily soiled areas and allow to stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
12. With the Bane-Clene Dry Cleaner, work hand tool across the piece with the same technique used in wet cleaning.
13. Concentrated soil should receive special attention. Use vacuum freely after solution stroke. Repeat as necessary.
14. Feather out all wet spots to the nearest divider (piping, seam, etc.). Dry cleaning solution rings are as difficult to remove as water rings.
15. After dry cleaning, mist any remaining spots with Bane-Clene Saf-T-Solv™, allow spot to stand for 2 to 3 minutes, carefully rub with turkish towel or sponge using a motion from outside to the center of the spot. Vacuum again. Repeat if necessary.
16. Use a soft bristled brush to set the texture of fibers where necessary. A hand-held hair dryer will be useful to force dry any damp spots after brushing.
17. Apply Sta-Clene^® Formula 940 Soil & Stain Repellent at this time if it is part of the job.
18. Thoroughly wipe all exposed wood surfaces and polish to complete the job.
