Fast Track Upholstery System

Introduction

The Fast Track Upholstery System is designed to allow the beginning technician to do excellent work and the accomplished technician to perform magic. Using these recommended upholstery products, this Fast Track System works on all fabrics except in a few ”specialty situations”.

Procedure –   Use the following process when cleaning upholstery

    1. Determine the type of fabric to be cleaned. 
    2. Categorize the fabric as either natural or synthetic. Then using the descriptions in the chart assign the upholstery to a category A-F.
    3. Vacuum the fabric with a hand-held brush vacuum and a crevice tool. This will help accomplish maximum dry soil removal, and prevent injury to the technician.
    4. Apply the appropriate prespray.
    5. Agitate with a horsehair brush.
    6. Extract with the correct rinse solution.
    7. Apply fabric protector.
    8. Groom the fabric as needed. This applies to pile weaves such as velvet.
    9. Dry the fabric using ventilation & air movers.
    10. After drying, some velvets may require additional grooming.

Helpful Hints – 

    • Dry Vacuum first. Pre-inspect and test all fabrics before cleaning. 
    • Use sufficient prespray to accomplish soil suspension. Using too little prespray causes poor results and extra technician effort. Allow five to ten minutes dwell time before extracting presprays. Agitate presprays with a horsehair brush. Do not allow prespray to dry before extraction.
    • Lightly mist fabrics with Power Rinse after extraction. 
    • Apply Maxim Advanced for Upholstery or Maxim Fine Fabric Protector for complete customer satisfaction and profits for you.
