Sofa and Fabric Cleaning

We clean everyday upholstery using professional equipment and fabric-aware products. The aim is to lift soil, reduce odours and refresh the colour and feel of your furniture without over-wetting the fabric.

Photos help us identify the item type, approximate size, condition and any visible staining before we confirm your quote.

Stain and Odour Treatment

We can treat common marks from food spills, coffee, makeup, red wine and pet accidents. The result depends on the fabric, age of the stain and any products already used on it.

  • Fabric inspection before cleaning
  • Spot treatment for visible marks
  • Odour treatment where suitable
  • Aftercare advice after the clean

Process

Typical Upholstery Cleaning Procedure

1. Inspection and pre-testing

We check the fabric, condition, colour stability and any marks that may need targeted treatment.

2. Pre-vacuuming

Loose dust, crumbs and surface debris are removed before wet or low-moisture cleaning starts.

3. Spot treatment

Visible stains are treated with products selected for the fabric and type of mark.

4. Cleaning solution and agitation

A suitable cleaning solution is applied and worked into the fibres to loosen soil.

5. Extraction or low-moisture cleaning

Depending on the fabric, we use hot water extraction or a lower-moisture method.

6. Rinse, grooming and drying support

Where required, we rinse, groom the fabric and advise on drying and ventilation.

7. Final inspection and maintenance advice

We review the cleaned items and explain how to look after the upholstery between professional cleans.

Questions

Upholstery Cleaning FAQs

How often should upholstery be professionally cleaned?

Most homes benefit from cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Busy households, pets and children may need more frequent cleaning.

Can professional cleaning remove odours?

Many odours can be reduced or removed, but deep contamination inside foam or padding can affect the result.

Are the products safe for pets and children?

We use family and pet safe products where suitable, and we will advise when items should be left to dry before use.

How long does upholstery take to dry?

Drying depends on fabric, airflow and cleaning method. Many items dry within several hours with good ventilation.

Do I need to prepare furniture before arrival?

Please remove small items, throws and cushions where possible, and make sure there is clear access around the furniture.

Can every stain be removed?

No company can honestly guarantee every stain. Older stains, dye transfer and fabric damage may only improve rather than disappear.
