Click here to purchase the full version from the ANSI store.Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification StandardIICRC S300, First EditionForewordThe Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) Standard andReference Guide for Professional Upholstery Cleaning (IICRC S300) is a procedural standard.It has been written using reliable principles, research and practical experience, plusconsultation with and information obtained from numerous sources. These include: alliedtradespersons; cleaning chemical and equipment formulators and manufacturers; upholsteryand furniture manufacturers; international, national and regional trade associations;organizations serving the professional cleaning industry, both independent and franchise;cleaning industry training schools; cleaning service companies; and others with specializedexperience. It is subject to revision as further experience and investigation may warrant. Thisstandard was created by the Joint Industry Task Force for Upholstery Cleaning.For many years furniture manufacturers have used colorfastness codes to assist consumers indetermining safe cleaning solutions (e.g., dry solvents, water) to use on their upholsteredfurniture. Over time these “colorfastness codes” evolved into “cleaning codes” for professionalcleaners as well. However, upholstery cleaning technicians have always determined theappropriate cleaning method for individual furniture based on fiber content, fabric constructionand careful inspection, rather than “colorfastness” or “cleaning” codes. One of the primarypurposes of IICRC S300 is to clarify the way in which appropriate cleaning methods aredetermined.IICRC S300 provides a specific set of practical standards for upholstery cleaning. It does notattempt to teach comprehensive upholstery cleaning procedures; rather, it provides thefoundational principles for proper cleaning practice. There are numerous programs availablein the industry to teach the specific details of upholstery cleaning.IICRC S300 is presented using a two-part format: the Standard itself, and a supplementary“Reference Guide.” The procedural Standard is featured in the first section of S300. ThisStandard is supported by the Reference Guide in the second section. The intent is to use theinformation outlined in the Reference Guide as a tool to better understand and apply theStandard itself. However, the Reference Guide is not considered a part of the Standard.
