Recently, our team at Wizard Cleaning Perth® received a call from a client struggling with unsightly greasy hair and head marks on her bedhead. In a moment of desperation, she turned to Google for a quick fix – and found a suggestion to use WD40. Unfortunately, WD40 is a lubricant meant for mechanical parts, not for cleaning upholstery. Instead of resolving the issue, it made the bedhead even greasier.
The challenge
Located on the first level of a busy building complex, the initial plan was to use our portal machine via lift access for this upholstery cleaning project. However, when our technician Antoni inspected the bedhead, he quickly realised that a different approach was needed. The stubborn grease required the type of heat that only our truck-mounted system could provide.
The process
Antoni made the call to bring the bedhead down to our van, where conditions allowed for a more controlled cleaning environment. Here, he employed a two-step process: first, using careful agitation to break up the layers of greasy residue, and then applying an acid wash specifically formulated to dissolve and remove the stubborn oils. This method not only tackled the grease but also restored the original texture and color of the upholstery.
The transformation
The difference was clear. The before and after photos reveal a dramatic transformation – from a bedhead stained by persistent, greasy marks to one that looked refreshed and restored. This specialised process not only removed the unwanted residues but also revitalised the upholstery’s original texture and colour.
