About Upholstery Cleaning
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.
Cleaning Methods Used by Pros
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.
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.
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.
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.
Health and Safety Considerations
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.
Reading the Care Tag
Codes W, S, WS, and X tell the technician which product to use. W means water-based cleaners only. S means solvent only. WS allows both. X means vacuum only, no wet cleaning. Bringing a phone photo of every tag, including cushions, prevents wrong-method calls that void fabric warranties.
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.
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.
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.
