Fabric checked first
The cleaning method is chosen to suit the fabric, not one approach for everything.
From £25 per seat
Upholstery and sofa cleaning
Sofas take daily wear that slowly dulls the fabric. We clean them with the method the fabric needs, so they look and smell fresher.
- Family sofas in daily use
- Homes with pets
- Furnished rental properties
Fabric-safe cleaning for sofas and chairs
Upholstery fabrics vary a lot, so we check the care label and test the fabric before we start. Arms, headrests and seat cushions usually carry the most soiling, and those areas get pre-treated before the whole piece is cleaned. Cushions are cleaned on both sides where possible and left to dry with air movers when needed.
Sofas and chairs take more daily wear than almost anything else in the house. Body oils, spills and pet hair slowly darken the arms and seats until the whole piece looks tired.
Corner sofas, recliners, armchairs and dining chairs can all be cleaned, and pet odour treatment can be added. Book it on its own or with carpets and a mattress so everything is done in one visit.
