The dry cleaning solvent, such as Solv-A-Clene™ dries much more slowly than water and has a solvent odor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: block; text-indent: 1em; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: #595959;\"\u003e When dry cleaning, the only products you can use are Per-Scent\u003csup style=\"font-size: 0.75em;\"\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e fragrance, Saf-T-Solv™ Dry Volatile Spotter, Phase II™, Solv-A-Clene™ Dry Cleaning Solvent, Sta-Clene\u003csup style=\"font-size: 0.75em;\"\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Solvent-Based Upholstery Protector and sometimes 91% Isopropyl Alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: block; text-indent: 1em; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: #595959;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere are many potential upholstery cleaning problems when dry cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e. If the face fabric has a latex backing, it should not be dry-cleaned. Excessive application of dry cleaning solvents may damage the latex, which supports the fabric. Sometimes the cushions or padding, which are hidden by the face fabric, contain impure or colored yarns, stuffing or even colored fabric that has been reprocessed or reused. When these are exposed to dry solvents, they can bleed and the fugitive color will wick through the face fabric. A black buckram or cambric is sometimes used to give body to the face fabric or to hold the padding in place under the cover fabric. The black dyes used may bleed through the face fabric. Sewing threads used to seam material together and to hold welt cords in place may not be colorfast. The glossy sheen on older chintz will be removed by cleaning. Pile fabrics, such as velvets,are often difficult to clean successfully. The crushed or embossed Velvets have been finished using a technique that is often nondurable. Cleaning (wet or dry) can cause pile distortion, matting or loss of texture. Bengaline, crushed velvets, damask, frieze, furs (fake and real), heat-set pile fabrics, matelassé, moiré, osnaburg, satin, silk and some chintzes must be dry cleaned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: block; text-indent: 1em; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: #595959;\"\u003eDry-cleaned furniture should not be used until completely dry and all solvent has evaporated. Do the cleaning in a well-ventilated area and vent the solvent outside. Wear a protective mask and solvent-resistant gloves. Some dry cleaning solvents are toxic chlorinated solvents. Solv-A-Clene contains no chlorinated solvents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; color: #3f3151; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eLEATHER UPHOLSTERY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: block; text-indent: 1em; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: #595959;\"\u003eCare and Cleaning of Leather Upholstery is covered in a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=NTQ4\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Professional Leather Cleaner is a ready-to-use leather-care product which helps replace natural oils that leather loses as it ages. \"\u003eseparate article\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; color: #3f3151; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMICROFIBER UPHOLSTERY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: block; text-indent: 1em; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: #595959;\"\u003eCare and Cleaning of Microfiber Upholstery is covered in a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=Mzcz\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Most microfiber in upholstery is polyester with some nylon and, unfortunately, an increasing amount of rayon.\"\u003eseparate article\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 20px; color: #3f3151; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated Upholstery Care Articles:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 30px; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: #595959;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=MTk5MA==\" title=\"Acetate fiber is regenerated cellulose fiber \" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAcetate Fiber in Upholstery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=NTQ4\" title=\"LEATHER UPHOLSTERY - How to Clean and Care for\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLeather Upholstery Care\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=Mzcz\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Microfiber Furniture and Upholstery Cleaning and Care\"\u003eMicrofiber Furniture Care\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=MzU4\" title=\"Office partitions, also called wall partitions, cubicle walls, room dividers or wall coverings, are textile surfaced walls and partitions.\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOffice Cubicle Walls, Office Partitions, Room Dividers - Cleaning\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/HOCarpetGuide\/Content.aspx?xps=MTE2\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pet Hair Removal from Carpets, Rugs and Upholstery\"\u003ePet Hair\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=MzQ2\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"or most protectors, 2 - 4 days curing time are required for optimum results.\"\u003eProtectors for Upholstery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/homeowners\/Content.aspx?xps=MjA=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Steps in cleaning upholstery:\"\u003eUpholstery Cleaning for the Homeowner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.baneclene.com\/Professionals\/Content.aspx?xps=NTUw\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUpholstery Cleaning Codes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bane-Clene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46655509594284,"sku":"30186","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.truckmountforums.com\/products\/furniture-blanket-furniture-pad-for-upholstery-cleaning","provider":"TMF Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
