About Upholstery Cleaning
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
On-Site versus Off-Site Cleaning
On-site cleaning protects the piece from transport damage and avoids 2 to 5 days without the furniture. Off-site cleaning uses controlled drying rooms and higher-powered equipment, giving deeper results on heavy soiling. Heavy pet odours, smoke damage, and delicate silks usually go off-site. Confirm pickup and return logistics in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
