You’ll Be Shocked How Dirty Your “Clean” Chair Really Is!

We sit on it, lay on it, play on it, and even eat on it. So why do we think it doesn't need to be cleaned as often as our floors? Your furniture can collect just as much (sometimes even more!) dirt and soil as the floor. Even though it may look clean, upholstery can hide all sorts of nasty stuff you can’t see with your naked eye. Don’t believe us? Try the White Towel Test for yourself!   Looks Can Be Deceiving At Modernistic, we have all sorts of tricks up our sleeve to get your home clean, but this one is a eye-opening test to show you how much you need your upholstery professionally cleaned. Our White Towel Test is a sure fire way to show you what you've been unwittingly sitting on. All we do is utilize four key elements to show you the dirt and soiling that you and your family may be lounging on. The White Towel Test 1.) A white towel (preferably one of ours to save you the extra dirty laundry). 2.) A piece of seemingly-clean upholstery in your home. 3.) A trained and certified Modernistic Technician. 4.) A Modernistic truck-mounted vacuum system. Here’s what happens:

  When you get all 4 of these things together, you'll see that what you thought was clean upholstery is definitely NOT so clean. The Modernistic White Towel Test is one of the easiest ways to see all the dirt you may be leaving behind when you think your cleaning is done. We place a simple white towel between your upholstery and our powerful truck-mounted vacuum equipment. Next, our technician will run the vacuum across your upholstery. The white towel acts like a filter and will reveal the soiling hiding in your upholstery. You will be surprised at how much dirt you can't see on your sofas, chairs, ottomans, and sectional seating. What Does This Mean? The proof is in the pudding! That’s why, when you want to get your upholstery truly clean, you need the professionals at Modernistic. Many people believe they can easily clean their upholstery themselves, but as the White Towel Test proves, no cleaning method in the world can compare to the power of a truck-mounted hot water extraction. Not to mention all of the different types of upholstery fabric there are today; it takes an experienced hand to use just the right amount of water and pressure to avoid damaging delicate fabrics! What About Your Furniture? Dust mites, microbes, and other contaminants will invisibly accumulate in your upholstery over time, so if you want to see your furniture cleaned right, then hire a professional like Modernistic. You bring the upholstery, and we'll bring the white towel!
