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.
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.
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.
Reputable cleaners carry at least 1 million in liability insurance and offer a written guarantee against colour loss or shrinkage for 14 days. Ask for a certificate of insurance and read the exclusions. Manufacturer warranties often require documentation from a certified technician to stay valid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
