Upholstery Cleaning Services with an Individual Approach
When it comes to furniture upholstery cleaning, we make no compromise on any detail or any step. First of all, we examine the upholstery to figure out what type of damage might have been caused to it and which type of treatment exactly might be needed in order to fix the problem. Once the upholstery has been examined, you can rest assured that the most suitable cleaning materials will be used.
Once the problem examination process is
over, we remove the dirt with the harmful allergens from the upholstery, by
using environment friendly materials that will not harm your couch or sofa and
won’t stay inside the upholstery fibers for longer than necessary.
Once the dirt removal process is completed, the next step is letting the upholstery dry. The duration of this process highly depends on the type of material it’s made of, so it might take from as little as only two hours, up to as much as six hours. Letting the upholstery dry completely is a very important step and it’s strongly recommended to be patient and not compromise on it.
Long Term Upholstery Protection Measures
Even the highest quality materials aren’t necessarily meant to last forever, but we surely know how to make an upholstery last for many years and help your sofa stay safe and sound, even if it’s many decades old. In order to extend the life of your couch, Gateway Steamers use materials that prevent damage caused by various dirt stains, spilled liquids and other harmful stuff.
The eco-friendly upholstery cleaning materials that are used by our team not only help to solve existing and upcoming issues, but also slow down the process of inevitable natural wear. You probably won’t be surprised to hear that sofas and couches used by families with kids and pets tend to wear out faster, but our protecting materials hep to minimize the damage caused to your furniture to the absolute minimum.
Keeping The Smell of Your Furniture Fresh All the Time
There is a popular belief that unpleasant smells can usually be only disguised, but not necessarily removed. We tend to disagree, because through numerous years of experience we have found the most reliable materials that really help to fight unpleasant odors that are caused by pets, spilled liquids, food stains etc. Our team uses deodorizing materials that neutralize not only the odors themselves, but the very core of the problem inside the fibers of your furniture. Instead of covering up the odors, we eliminate the reasons why they exist, thus making your furniture and the air in your house better, cleaner, safer and really fresh.

Microfiber Upholstery Cleaning near you in Austin, TX
If you are reading this, chances are that you are looking for a professional microfiber upholstery cleaning services near you. Whether it’s the case or you aren’t even sure what that “microfiber” thing is all about, one thing is certain – spills and spots don’t make couches and sofas look or smell better and it’s important to get them cleaned in order to have them kept in good shape.
Polyester is the most popular material used for microfiber furniture. Polyester tends to attract all types of dirt and moisture from pets and humans alike. On top of that, once any type of liquid gets spilled on a microfiber upholstery, you can rest assured that the rings that appear on it will stay for a long period, unless they are cleaned professionally.
Our upholstery cleaning experts examine each couch thoroughly before they decide which material will be used in order to clean it. There are many types of cleaning materials, but different types of stains require different cleaning methods and it’s important to make the right choice each time and use the right agents.
Once your microfiber upholstery gets cleaned, our work is not complete yet. A clean outlook is not enough for those who want to enjoy their furniture for real and we firmly believe that our customers deserve no less than the best treatment there is. This is the reason why each time we clean a microfiber upholstery, we also apply deodorizers and protective materials, to make sure that your furniture doesn’t spread any odors, bacteria, allergens and other unwanted pollutants. We treat our customers’ furniture with the same level of care as we treat our own and it’s very important for us to keep not only the furniture itself, but also the air in your house clean and fresh when our upholstery cleaning service is provided.
Need to Get Commercial Upholstery Cleaned? Call Us Now!
The importance of having clean and well maintained furniture in an office cannot be overestimated. It’s not only a matter of prestige, but also a source of either a fresh and healthy or rather unhealthy environment that can impact your health and the health of all your colleagues and employees.
The materials which furniture that is used in commercial facilities is made of usually doesn’t differ from those of regular residential furniture, hence our commercial upholstery cleaning services don’t differ much from those we provide for regular clients (neither in type of service, nor in prices). Even though the furniture at your business place might be exposed less to children and pets, keep in mind that it still needed to be cleaned a couple of times a year in order to stay good looking, fresh and safe.
Need Leather Upholstery Cleaning in Austin, TX? We Have You Covered!
If you have a leather couch, look no further, we can clean any type of leather. Our specialists can examine the type of leather used on your furniture on the spot and use the necessary tools and materials to make it look not only clean again, but overall new. Whether it’s pigmented leather, aniline leather, suede leather, nubuck leather or any other type of leather, you have nothing to worry about. Leather upholstery cleaning demands different working methods than those used for other types of upholstery, but we have a wide assortment of equipment and cleaning materials to keep your needs covered.
Although leather differs a lot from other types of furniture upholstery, it does attract the same types of dirt, allergens and harmful pollutants. It also becomes drier, tougher and loses its color overtime, unless it’s taken great care of. On the other hand, if proper leather upholstery cleaning is done on a regular basis, there is no reason for it not to last many decades. If you have a leather couch and you want to keep it in a great shape for many years, better make sure that it gets cleaned at least once or twice a year. If you have children, pets or many guests who constantly use the couch or the sofa, better get it cleaned 3 or 4 times a year, so it won’t wear out.
The cleaning materials that we choose to use for every leather sofa differ from one another, depending on the type of leather. In general, what you can usually expect from our upholstery cleaning specialists is that they will use a combination of green (environment friendly) cleaning materials, alongside protecting materials and various moisturizers that are needed in order to keep your leather upholstery clean, fresh, soft and shiny.
Once the leather upholstery cleaning process is finished, your leather upholstery will be heated to have its pores open and accept the conditioner. Conditioner is the material that will return your leather upholstery to its original softness, which is necessary for leather’s longevity and sustainability.
Last but not least, after your leather upholstery has gone through all the aforementioned processes, we dry the leather to make sure that it’s ready to receive its last treatment, which is the application of a protecting material. The protector used by Gateway Steamers will fill the cracks in the upholstery to prevent penetration of liquids and moisture in the future. Applying the protector means providing a shielding layer that will keep the leather upholstery clean and also safe for the time being.
The more often you take advantage of leather upholstery cleaning services, the more confident you can feel about the fact that your leather couch will remain clean, shiny and free of unnecessary wear.
