Hi Chuck,

Nice advice from Derek.

Releasit Encap-Clean works great on any fabric that is safe for water to touch. Cleaning upholstery with Releasit is becoming popular. Give it a shot. And if we can help you in any way just holler. Welcome aboard!

I cannot speak for others, but I have used it successfully on some 30 or 40 upholstered pieces. Being a bit nervous with it at first, I tried it on some olefin, a chair, otto and sofa, figuring it's olefin, and you can't hardly hurt olefin with anything water based, and it turned out fine. The next several olefin furniture I tried it on, all turned out fine. Then a nylon sofa- same thing, then a cotton sofa, same results. Then with some more confidence, I used it on everything I run across, and I do a lot of furniture.

I also used it on my silk pillow and silk rug I use for a demo at Summerfest and Winterfest to show Releasit Encapsulating Detergent is OK on silk too.

One wool flannel sofa, and a bunch of wool rugs, both domestic and oriental- works fine, wool and other berbers too.

At the moment, I have a wool oriental and a acrylic rug in the shop I used it on, so I can pretty much say it works on everything.

Sounds great - What process do you use on upholstery?

You spray on?
Then what? Scrub?

Thanks

Thanks

Thanx to all for the info. I cleaned my love seat with the Releasit at about 50/50 mix with tepid water. Sprayed on, brushed in and toweled off. I couldnt believe the difference. I mean really! This love seat is like brand new. I am thoroughly impressed. Plus, It took me only about 45 minutes. Gotta order some Gallons of that Releasit. Whew!!!

Chuck-

I suggest using Releasit Encapsulating Detergent at the regular dilution. Only in severe cases is the 50-50 needed.

I sprayed it on, agitated with the US Products furniture roto, but a folded towel will work too, if you don't have a machine.

Agitate with a soft brush, horsehair if you have one, or a dairy brush, or even a sponge dampened and well wrung out will work too.
