Step 1: Detailed inspection and assessment
Every job begins with a careful inspection of your upholstery. Our technicians examine fabric type, construction, manufacturer care labels, current condition, and specific problem areas. We identify stains, assess soil levels, check colourfastness, and note any pre-existing damage. This detailed evaluation allows us to select the safest and most effective cleaning method and products for each piece of furniture.
Step 2: Pre treatment for stain and odour removal
Problem areas receive targeted pre-treatment using specialist solutions. High-traffic zones, stubborn stains, and odour sources are treated to loosen embedded dirt, oils, and bacteria. This critical step softens soils and prepares the fabric for extraction, improving cleaning effectiveness while helping prevent permanent staining.
Step 3: Deep steam cleaning with hot water extraction
Using our advanced hot water extraction system, heated water and professional-grade solutions penetrate deep into fabric fibres. High-pressure suction then removes dirt, allergens, dust mites, bacteria, and contaminants. This method provides a thorough, sanitising clean while protecting fibres. For delicate materials, we employ alternative methods such as low-moisture or dry powder cleaning to ensure safe and effective results.
Step 4: Professional drying and finishing
After cleaning, high-powered air movers and proper ventilation accelerate drying, preventing mould or mildew. Our technicians perform a final inspection, groom the fabric, and ensure your furniture looks its absolute best. Most pieces are dry and ready to use within 2–6 hours. We recommend opening windows to enhance airflow and speed up drying.

The benefits of professional upholstery cleaning

Dramatically improve indoor air quality
Upholstered furniture acts as a filter, trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and other airborne allergens within its fibres. over time, these contaminants accumulate and are released back into your air with every use. professional cleaning removes these pollutants through deep steam cleaning, significantly improving indoor air freshness and creating a healthier environment, particularly beneficial for family members with allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivities.
Restore the beauty and comfort of your furniture
Professional cleaning revitalises faded colours, restores original texture, removes unsightly stains, and eliminates dinginess from sofas, couches, and chairs. Your furniture will look as beautiful as the day you bought it. Beyond appearance, our deep cleaning removes the hardened dirt that makes upholstery feel stiff and uncomfortable, restoring its original softness and comfort.
Extend the life of your investment
Dirt particles are abrasive and cause fabric fibres to break down prematurely through friction. Regular professional cleaning removes these damaging contaminants, significantly extending the lifespan of your furniture. This preventative maintenance protects your investment and saves you money by delaying costly furniture replacement for years.
Eliminate lingering smells and unpleasant odours
Upholstery absorbs and traps odours from pets, cooking, smoke, spills, and everyday use. These lingering smells can permeate your home and become increasingly difficult to remove. Our process eliminates odour causing bacteria and trapped particles at their source rather than simply masking them, leaving your furniture and home smelling genuinely fresh and clean.
Create a healthier home environment
Beyond allergens, upholstered furniture can harbour bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and other microorganisms that may affect your family’s health, especially if you have pets or children. Our sanitisation process eliminates these invisible threats, creating a cleaner, more hygienic living space. Regular vacuuming helps, but only professional deep cleaning truly sanitises your furniture.

Frequently asked questions about upholstery cleaning

What types of upholstery do you clean?
We clean all types of upholstered furniture, including sofas, couches, loveseats, sectionals, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, benches, and office furniture. We work with all fabric types, including cotton, polyester, microfibre, velvet, chenille, linen, silk, wool, leather (genuine and faux), suede, and synthetic performance fabrics. We also provide mattress cleaning and carpet services. If you have unique or antique upholstery, please mention it when requesting your free quote so we can ensure we bring the appropriate equipment.
What cleaning methods do you use?
We employ several professional methods depending on your fabric type and condition. Our primary approach is hot water extraction (steam cleaning), which provides the deepest clean for the most durable fabrics. For delicate or moisture-sensitive materials, we use dry powder or low-moisture solvent cleaning. Leather receives specialised ph balanced treatments. During our initial inspection, we’ll determine and explain which method is best for your specific furniture to ensure optimal results and drying time.
Are your cleaning products safe for children and pets?
Absolutely. All our products are non-toxic, biodegradable, eco friendly, and completely safe for children, pets, and family members with chemical sensitivities. We’re committed to environmentally responsible cleaning that doesn’t compromise your family’s health or safety. Our products leave no harmful residues, and your furniture is safe to use as soon as it’s dry.
Can you remove all stains and odors?
We successfully remove the vast majority of stains, including stubborn marks that homeowners thought were permanent. our specialised stain removal techniques tackle wine, coffee, pet accidents, food spills, and more. however, some stains may be set permanently, particularly if they’ve been previously treated incorrectly, exposed to heat, or left untreated for extended periods. we’ll always be honest during our inspection about what’s achievable. for odours, we address the source rather than masking the smell, which typically results in complete elimination.
Do you offer fabric protection treatments?
Yes, we offer optional fabric protection treatments following cleaning. These protective applications create an invisible barrier that repels liquids and resists stains, making future spills easier to clean and helping your furniture stay cleaner longer. Protection is particularly valuable for high-use furniture, light-coloured fabrics, and homes with children or pets.
How much does upholstery cleaning cost?
Our services are offered at an affordable price that varies based on several factors including furniture type, size, fabric, and condition. as a general guide, a standard three-seat couch typically costs between $150-$250, while armchairs range from $80-$150. mattress cleaning ranges from $80-$120 per mattress. carpet costs vary based on square footage. we believe in transparent pricing and will provide a detailed free quote before beginning any work.
How long does the cleaning process take?
The duration varies based on the number of pieces, their size, fabric type, and soil level. For a typical three-seat couch, expect approximately 30-45 minutes. A complete lounge suite (sofa and two chairs) usually takes 1.5-2 hours. Mattress cleaning takes about 30-45 minutes per mattress. We’ll provide an estimated timeframe when you book, and our technicians will give you a more precise estimate upon arrival.
How long does it take for the upholstery to dry?
Drying time varies based on the method and fabric type used. With hot water extraction, most upholstery dries within 4-6 hours. Dry powder allows immediate use, while low-moisture methods typically dry within 1-3 hours. Carpet cleaning usually dries within 6-8 hours. We use professional equipment to accelerate the process and provide specific guidance for your furniture. We recommend opening windows, increasing ventilation, and using fans to reduce drying time.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, we provide free estimates with no obligation. you can receive an estimated quote over the phone or online by describing your furniture or carpet and its condition. for the most accurate pricing, we also offer free in-home assessments where we inspect your upholstery and provide a detailed written quote. there’s no pressure to book. we can often provide quotes on short notice when you need urgent service.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (visa, mastercard, american express), debit cards, bank transfers, and cash. payment is due upon completion once you’re completely satisfied with the results. we also offer flexible payment options for larger commercial jobs. you’ll receive a detailed invoice for your records.
