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.
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.
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.
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.
Cleaning reveals weak stitching, sagging webbing, and broken springs. A pro should photograph frame problems and alert you before proceeding. Wet cleaning a frame with cracked wood can cause swelling and joint failure. Expect to be told if the furniture is unsafe to lift or move.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
