What Furniture and Upholstery Cleaners Do?
These highly skilled professionals help tackle numerous issues. They specialise in deep cleaning furniture like sofas and chairs with intricate fabrics that are hard to clean.
Over time, furniture tends to attract particles just from regular use. While this is a completely normal situation, it is not ideal. And that's where professional upholstery cleaners come in.
They deal with musty smells, stains, years of dirt, and provide future protection to ensure your furnishings last their longest. They also have the knowledge and techniques to tackle different furniture types.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What do professionals use to clean couches?
Professionals use a variety of methods to clean couches. One of the most common methods is hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, which uses hot water and a specialised machine to remove dirt and stains from the upholstery. Another method is dry cleaning, which involves using a chemical solvent that doesn't require water or drying time. Some also use a foam solution or a dry shampoo encapsulation method. The choice of cleaning method depends on the type of fabric, the presence of deep stains or pet odours, and the client's preferences regarding environmental impact.
What is the cheapest way to clean upholstery?
The cheapest way to clean upholstery is by using household items you likely already have. Regular vacuuming can help remove dust and loose soil. For spot cleaning, you can create a homemade solution with warm water and mild dishwashing liquid. Apply the suds to the stain with a sponge or soft-bristled brush, then blot with a microfiber cloth. Baking soda or cornstarch can also be used to absorb fresh stains before vacuuming. Remember to always check the upholstery’s care tag before cleaning to ensure the method is safe for the fabric.
How often should upholstered furniture be cleaned?
Upholstered furniture should be cleaned regularly to maintain its appearance and longevity. We recommend vacuuming your upholstery at least once a week to remove dust and loose soil. For a deeper clean, we suggest quarterly or as needed. However, for specific stain removal and overall upholstery cleaning, aim for once every 3-6 months, or on an as-needed basis. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your furniture.
How long does it take to professionally clean a sofa?
The time it takes to professionally clean a sofa depends on the size of the sofa, the extent of the cleaning required, and the specific cleaning method used. Generally, most stains can be cleaned in about five minutes, though using a portable upholstery cleaner could add an extra 10-15 minutes. However, more difficult stains may require more than one treatment. It’s also important to note that drying time can add several hours to the overall process.
