The ANSI/IICRC S300 standard describes the systems, methods, and procedures to be followed when performing professional upholstery cleaning. It does not specifically address the processes and procedures for restoring or remediating smoke or microbially contaminated upholstery. Refer to the latest editions of ANSI/IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration and ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation.

This standard was created primarily for use by professional cleaners, and secondarily for other Materially Interested Parties (MIPs) (e.g., upholstery fabric and furniture manufacturers, industry suppliers, retailers, and distributors).

• Fiber, Construction, and Styles
• Principles of Professional Upholstery Cleaning
• Equipment and Tools
• Pre-Cleaning and Post-Cleaning Inspections (Administrative Procedures)
• Methods and Systems of Cleaning
• Leather Cleaning
• Spot and Stain Removal
