About Upholstery Cleaning
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.
Fabric Protector and Reapplication
A fluorochemical protector repels liquids for 12 to 24 months under normal use. High-traffic seats wear faster than backs or arms. Application adds 15 to 30 minutes per piece and a per-seat fee. Ask how long the specific product is rated to last on your fabric type before paying extra.
Stain Removal Limits
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.
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.
How Often to Schedule Cleaning
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.
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.
Dry Time and Ventilation
Hot water extraction leaves cushions damp for 6 to 12 hours depending on room humidity and airflow. Dry foam methods cut that window to roughly 2 to 4 hours. Running a dehumidifier or fan cuts drying time by about a third. Ask the technician to quote expected dry time based on the chosen method.
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.
Off-Site Cleaning Realities
Some shops remove loose covers and submerge them in a 40-litre bath. This suits cotton slipcovers but risks shrinkage of 3 to 5 percent and seam puckering. Reupholstering a fitted cushion can cost as much as the cleaning itself, so ask whether the shop measures before and after washing.
Stain Types That Need Pre-Treatment
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.
