About Upholstery Cleaning
Preparing the Furniture Before the Visit
Move breakables, lamps, and electronics away from the work area. Vacuum the piece the night before to remove loose soil, which improves extraction results. Lift cushions so the technician can reach the seams and corners. Keep pets in another room. Clear a parking spot within 10 metres of the door.
Why the Fabric Code Matters
The fabric code on the care tag decides the cleaning chemistry. W means water-based solutions only, S needs solvent-based cleaners, W/S accepts either, and X requires vacuuming without moisture. Using the wrong method can shrink cotton blends, bleed dyes, or leave watermarks. Confirm the code is read before any product is applied.
Tools You Should Expect
Look for a truck-mounted or portable extraction machine with at least 500 mmHg vacuum strength. Upholstery wands between 10 and 15 cm wide reach tight seams. A water-safe vacuum, moisture meter, and air movers indicate a serious setup. Handheld brushes should have soft bristles under 20 mm long.
How Pricing Is Calculated
Most companies price by seat, by piece, or by square metre of fabric. A three-seat sofa typically costs more than two armchairs combined because of frame weight and setup time. Travel fees, stain severity, and fabric protection add-ons raise the total. Ask for a written quote that lists each variable.
Drying Time and Moisture Targets
After extraction, a moisture meter should read below 15 percent before cushions are reused. Air movers cut dry time from 8 hours to about 3 hours. Keep the room between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius with a fan running. Sitting on damp fabric invites mildew within 48 hours.
Pet Odour and Allergen Removal
Pet urine soaks past the fabric into the foam and padding. Surface cleaning rarely reaches it. Effective treatment needs an enzyme or oxidising agent applied to the padding, followed by sub-surface extraction. HEPA-filtered vacuums before and after reduce dander. Ask whether the quote covers padding treatment or only the outer cover.
Handling Frame Damage and Spring Issues
Cleaning reveals weak stitching, sagging webbing, and broken springs. A pro should photograph frame problems and alert you before proceeding. Wet cleaning a frame with cracked wood can cause swelling and joint failure. Expect to be told if the furniture is unsafe to lift or move.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
Ask which cleaning method matches your fabric code, what pre-treatment is included, who carries insurance for damage, and what the drying time will be. Request written confirmation of the total price, the number of technicians, and the estimated job duration. Clarify the reschedule policy in advance.
What Upholstery Cleaning Covers
Upholstery cleaning covers hot water extraction, dry foam, and shampoo methods for sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. Technicians usually test the fabric code first, marked W, S, W/S, or X. Each code limits which solvents and water levels are safe. Ask which code your furniture carries before booking.
Testing Colourfastness First
A colourfastness test takes 10 minutes and prevents bleeding or fading. The technician rubs a hidden seam with a white cloth dampened in the cleaning agent. If dye transfers, they switch to a milder product. Skipping this step is the most common cause of ruined cushions in viscose or silk blends.
