Look around. Secretarial chairs, executive chairs, sofas, conference room chairs, modular panel systems - these upholstered furnishings are used throughout your facility, representing a substantial investment. A computer chair alone costs hundreds of dollars! Furniture is the most personal asset in your facility, utilized by people everyday and thus, subjected to hand oils, body perspiration, ink, pencil marks, food and coffee spills. If these soils are allowed to remain on fabrics, the fibers weaken, becoming more fragile and difficult to clean.

Aside from user-related abuse, the office environment itself lends to the deterioration of your upholstery. In all buildings, HVAC systems re-circulate air for maximum efficiency. Fabrics and textiles serve as magnets for microscopic particles such as dust, pollen and odors within the air which are absorbed and embedded in fabrics. After a time, the brightness and clarity of a fabric is affected, not to mention your indoor air quality. This process may be so fast that most people will not notice the deterioration in appearance until it is irreversible. In order to retain the original appearance of your upholstered furnishings, cleaning and maintenance is essential!

A Specialized Field.

With today's high cost of purchasing or re-upholstering office furniture, more companies elect to preventatively maintain existing furnishings. Preventative maintenance requires a special expertise, because the manufacturers of upholstered furniture and modular panel systems produce an almost infinite array of styles and models, with a specific combination of fibers and backings. When considered in conjunction with the type of spotting and soiling that has occurred, as well as the use of protective finishes, the need for expert knowledge of maintenance systems and procedures is required.

An integral step in The Corporate Care System™ is the pre-inspection and testing of all fabrics to ensure the safety of the prescribed cleaning procedures. Certified technicians who are thoroughly educated and trained in the most current fabric and cleaning techniques perform all work.

As a follow-up, Corporate Care continues to monitor all maintenance, soil and stain treatments performed to develop a "benchmarking/trend" profile for your company. Our program is designed to promote a longer usage life for upholstered furnishings - reducing the need for re-upholstery or replacement - with the assurance of effective, cost efficient service.
