How to clean Restaurant seating.
One of the greatest parts of each restaurant is its seating or better to say its chairs. These chairs and seats are normally upholstered, beautiful, and comfortable. Chairs are like all the other things in the world and need maintenance. Especially when the seating is upholstered, the maintenance process gets even more important.
Chairs of any restaurant are being used so much and these uses make them get dirty and untidy. To avoid this, you, as a restaurant owner should take care of your chairs and clean them from time to time. The first thing that comes to mind is to visit an upholstered and ask him or her about the process of cleaning. Limitless upholstery team is one the best teams in this respect, which you can count on them for your cleaning-related pieces of advice.
However, you can also do a couple of tasks before visiting an upholstery team to make your furniture somehow clean. In this article, we will provide you with some pieces of advice to make it easy for you to clean your chairs, without any need for a professional team or gadgets.
What to do before starting the cleaning things?
The first thing, before any other tasks, is to find out what fabric is being used to upholster your furniture. These fabrics can be velvet, linen, wool, leather, and many other fabrics. Each of these fabrics has its maintenance-related pieces of advice.
For example, leather cannot touch any water. Or when being touched by water, it should be cleaned as fast as possible. As for another example, we need to mention wool. This fabric shouldn’t use warm water in its cleaning tasks. The reason behind this is that warm water will damage its textile and deform it.
Therefore, first, you need to know the fabric used for the upholstery of your furniture. Then you will be able to clean it in a good way. In other words, this pre-process task plays the most important role in our cleaning game.
In some cases, the upholstered pieces of furniture have a label containing all the information about their upholstery fabric. This is the easiest case! You can read the label and identify the fabric.
In the other case, you find no labels on your restaurant seating. In this case, you need to either identify the fabric by yourself or ask a professional team like Limitless upholstery. Some fabrics are synthetic and like non-synthetic ones. Hence, we suggest you ask an expert upholsterer team to identify the fabric.

Cleaning code matters
After identifying the fabric used for the upholstery of your furniture, it’s time to start! You can have a look at the mentioned label to find out the code used to clean the fabric. This code tells you how to clean the furniture, which has a certain fabric. In the following section, you find all the codes printed on the labels.
W
Easiest to clean label assigns to the W one. Water is the main thing used to clean W fabrics. However, if you want to use shampoo or foam, you can have a look at water-based shampoos or upholstery foam cleaners to clean W fabrics. You can clean these fabrics completely by yourself and without any need for help. However, for the largest areas or bigger messes, you can contact Limitless upholstery to get help.
S
S is completely against W! you cannot use water to clean S fabrics. Solvent-based upholstery cleaner is the way you need to think about it for the cleaning of S fabrics. This cleaner should be used for just spot cleaning with no water. In some cases, you may see pilling. To avoid this, you can use a metallic brush or shaver. One more possible problem here is circling or a sold ring. To prevent this to happen, you can clean the outside of the spill first and do the rest of your tasks. However, in general, it is better to call an upholsterer team to clean your S restaurant seating instead of doing it by yourself.
WS
Friend of water and solvent-based cleaner is here! For WS fabrics you can use water and solvent-based cleaners. But be careful not to use steam cleaning or hot water extraction. If you want to clean cushions made from WS fabrics, you must not remove cushion cases and dry or laundry them. For the spill situation, you would better blot immediately and remove the liquid or solid material.
If you try to clean larger spots and be more comfortable, you can be in contact with us as an expert upholstery team.
X
The last letter you can see on labels is X. for this letter, you can just use a vacuum or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush. For X fabrics, we never suggest using water or solvent-based upholstery cleaners. To prevent permanent stains and overall soiling, it is better to let an upholstery team clean your restaurant seating which used X fabrics for their upholstery.
