Professional upholstery cleaning does not end when the extractor has collected dirty water. The result depends on how much moisture remains in the fabric, how evenly it is removed and how drying is organized. This guide is for cleaners in Moscow, the Moscow Region and across Russia using the Purezza Scirocco Siaflo 9 bar, Purezza Scirocco Aquatec 17 bar and U3DP Clean SU-290 drying unit.

Why drying is part of upholstery cleaning
Residual moisture remains in fabric after extraction. The amount depends on the upholstery, padding density, room temperature and humidity, solution volume and operator technique. If air exchange is not organized, the surface can dry before the padding. The customer may then notice a long drying period, a damp smell or returning marks.
This matters for mobile cleaning in Moscow and the Moscow Region: the technician cannot control every indoor condition and customers often want to use the furniture the same day. A controlled process reduces residual moisture and makes the result more predictable, while fabric-care instructions and a hidden-area test remain essential.
Purezza Scirocco is the core of the rinsing and dirty-water recovery stage.
Purezza upholstery-cleaning workflow
1. Inspect and test colourfastness
Check seams, repaired areas, decorative inserts and previous cleaning marks. Apply a small amount of working solution to a white towel and check colour transfer. If compatibility is uncertain, agree on limitations with the customer and do not use aggressive chemistry without confirmation.
2. Use the minimum effective solution flow
The extractor should perform a controlled rinse and recover the solution, not flood the furniture. Work in small sections, keep the tool level and do not stop in one spot. Reduce flow on delicate fabrics and add vacuum-only passes.
3. Make a double vacuum pass
After a wet pass, make one or two passes without solution. This removes free water from the upper layer. Do not force the tool into the fabric: consistent contact, smooth speed and a clean nozzle matter more.
4. Organize airflow
Move furniture away from the wall, expose side surfaces and direct air along the fabric. Do not aim a strong stream at one point for too long; reposition the unit as moisture equalizes.
Purezza Scirocco Siaflo 9 bar vs Aquatec 17 bar
Both versions use the Purezza Scirocco platform: 360 mbar vacuum, a 15-litre recovery tank and a 14-litre solution tank. The pump changes solution delivery and workload reserve, but it does not replace correct operator technique.
| Parameter | Purezza Scirocco Siaflo | Purezza Scirocco Aquatec |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum | 360 mbar | 360 mbar |
| Working delivery | Up to 9 bar at a 0.15 nozzle according to the product description | 15 bar, Aquatec 250 PSI, 3.8 l/min |
| Tanks | 15 l recovery / 14 l solution | 15 l recovery / 14 l solution |
| Practical choice | Upholstery, cars and regular mobile jobs with moderate flow | Higher workload, larger areas and productive tools |
Do not judge upholstery results by bar alone. Match pressure to the nozzle, tool width, fabric and movement speed. Confirm the current configuration and tool compatibility with U3DP Clean before ordering.
U3DP Clean SU-290: specifications and use
The SU-290 directs a high-volume air stream along upholstery and carpet surfaces.
The SU-290 is designed to accelerate drying of furniture and carpet after wet cleaning. The product card lists 290 W, 3,200 m³/h airflow and a 5 kg weight. Its wide support distributes load on the fabric, and two ports allow up to three units to be connected in series. It uses a 220 V supply; place it securely and keep the intake clear.
| SU-290 specification | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| 290 W | A separate drying stage after extraction without chemically heating the fabric. |
| 3,200 m³/h | High airflow to accelerate surface evaporation. |
| 5 kg | Portable for mobile cleaning jobs. |
| Up to three units in series | Airflow can be scaled for large sofas and carpets when the electrical circuit is suitable. |
Five mistakes that extend drying time
- Too much solution. Extra water cannot compensate for poor technique.
- No vacuum-only passes. Free moisture remains in the upper fabric layer.
- Furniture is against the wall. Air cannot reach the sides and back.
- Air is fixed on one point. Drying becomes uneven.
- The customer covers the sofa immediately. Explain ventilation and the safe return-to-use period.

Can a Purezza extractor dry a sofa completely?
The extractor removes much of the dirty water, but residual moisture depends on fabric and padding. For regular work, an air mover accelerates surface evaporation and improves consistency.
Which Purezza version is better for upholstery?
Siaflo 9 bar suits controlled furniture flow and mobile jobs. Aquatec 17 bar is useful for higher workloads and a larger performance reserve. The final choice depends on the tool and process.
Can three SU-290 units share one socket?
Series connection is part of the design, but the total load and condition of the 220 V circuit must be checked first. Do not use overloaded extension leads or adapters.
Should furniture be dried with hot air?
Not necessarily. Moving dry air and maintaining ventilation are the priorities. Excessive heat can damage fabric, adhesives or padding.
Does this process work in winter in Moscow?
Yes, with controlled ventilation and without over-cooling the furniture. Consider temperature, humidity and airflow in every room.
