Specialist Upholstery & Natural Fibre Care in Taunton
At Renshaw Services, we provide a technical, preservation-led approach to upholstery cleaning for clients throughout Taunton and the surrounding Somerset vales. We do not offer generic, high-moisture "steam cleaning"; instead, we specialise in the safe restoration of fine textiles, delicate weaves, and high-value furnishings.
Our service is tailored for those who require an expert touch—ensuring that your sofas, armchairs, and bespoke furniture are cleaned to the highest professional standard without risking the integrity of the material.
The Danger of Inexpert Cleaning Methods
Many modern upholstery fabrics—particularly those containing viscose, silk, linen, or fine wool—react poorly to the high-heat, high-pressure methods used by budget carpet cleaners. In the Taunton area, we are frequently called to rectify damage caused by non-specialists, including:
- Fibre Flattening: Permanent loss of pile and texture on velvet or chenille.
- Water Marking: Staining caused by improper moisture control on natural fibres.
- Chemical Residue: "Sticky" fabrics that attract soil faster due to high-pH detergents.
- Structural Damage: Over-wetting that affects the timber frame or internal upholstery paddings.
The Renshaw Specialist Methodology
Our approach to upholstery care in Taunton is built on fabric science and a commitment to longevity. We treat every piece as a unique textile challenge.
Forensic Fibre Identification
We begin every commission with a thorough inspection. By identifying the exact fibre composition and construction—whether a modern designer weave or a period tapestry—we can select the precise chemistry required for a safe result.
Advanced Soil Suspension
Using micro-encapsulation or dry-solvent cleaning where appropriate, we gently break down atmospheric oils and particulate soiling. This ensures deep cleaning without the risks associated with excessive water saturation.
Hand-Finishing & Grooming
For pile fabrics and delicate weaves, we use specialist grooming brushes to reset the nap of the fabric. This prevents "shading" and ensures the furniture looks as it was originally intended by the maker.
Anti-Allergen & pH Balancing
All treatments conclude with a pH-neutralising rinse. This leaves the fibres in a stable, soft condition, free from the harsh alkaline residues that can cause skin irritation or fibre degradation over time.
