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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
