When using vacuum strokes to remove moisture, which areas should be the primary focus?

Focusing on seams and welts is essential when using vacuum strokes to remove moisture because these areas often act as traps for water and cleaning agents. Seams are where different pieces of fabric are stitched together, creating potential pockets that can retain moisture, while welts, which are often used for decorative and structural purposes, can also gather moisture if not properly dried.

By prioritizing these areas during the drying process, you help ensure that the upholstery dries thoroughly and evenly, preventing issues such as mildew, mold, and fabric deterioration that can arise from trapped moisture. The other areas mentioned, while they might also need attention, do not typically hold as much moisture as seams and welts, making them less critical in this specific context.
