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.
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.
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.
Oil, ink, red wine, urine, and old coffee stains usually need pre-treatment before extraction. Pre-treatment adds 10 to 20 minutes per spot and a small surcharge per area. Some dye-based stains cannot be removed fully without risking fabric damage. Request a test patch on a hidden seam first.
Red wine, coffee, and ink set into fibres within 24 hours and may leave a permanent shadow even after treatment. Bleach, acids, and unknown dyes can bleach the fabric. Pros can usually lift 70 to 90 percent of fresh stains but cannot restore a sun-faded panel or a bleach spot.
Common failures include browning from over-wetting, dye bleed between fabric panels, shrinkage on cotton or linen, and foam swelling that warps cushions. Delicate trims such as piping and zippers can discolour if soaked. Insist on a written pre-inspection report listing risk areas before any work starts on your piece.
Ask whether the cleaning agents are Green Seal or ECologo certified if children, pets, or asthma sufferers use the sofa. Solvent-based products leave fumes for 4 to 6 hours. Request the Safety Data Sheet for any chemical the technician brings indoors, especially around infants under 12 months old.
General household sofas benefit from professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes with pets, children, or smokers need it every 6 to 9 months. Light-coloured fabrics show soil sooner and may need more frequent visits. Keep a written record of each service date and method used.
Spring and early autumn are peak seasons and slots fill 2 to 3 weeks ahead. Mid-winter often brings same-week availability. Emergency stain jobs may carry a 25 to 40 percent surcharge outside normal hours. Booking a combined carpet and upholstery visit usually lowers the per-item rate.
Most technicians choose between hot water extraction, dry foam, or solvent cleaning. Hot water extraction injects heated water between 50 and 70 degrees Celsius, then vacuums it out within 15 minutes. Dry foam suits delicate weaves and reduces drying to about 1 hour. Solvent cleaning handles oily stains on natural fibres.
