Our Cleaning Process

We follow a structured approach to deliver consistent, high-quality results while protecting your furniture.

1. Enquiry & Quote

Provide details about the items you need cleaned, including fabric type, condition, and any specific issues. We offer a clear and transparent quote based on your requirements.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We may assess the upholstery to determine fabric type, level of soiling, and the most suitable cleaning method. This can be done virtually or in person depending on the job.

3. Preparation

We prepare the area, protect surrounding surfaces, and apply appropriate pre-treatment before carrying out the cleaning process.

Transparent Pricing

Our pricing is based on the type and size of furniture, fabric condition, and the cleaning method required.

• Per-item pricing (e.g. sofas, armchairs)
• Discounted rates for multiple items
• Custom quotes for larger or commercial jobs

We provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden costs. All services are agreed before work begins.

Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Is Better Than DIY

DIY upholstery cleaning can often lead to poor results or even damage if the wrong methods are used.

We aim to leave your furniture clean, refreshed, and ready for continued use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does upholstery cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size and type of furniture, the fabric, and the level of cleaning required. A single armchair will cost less than a large sofa, and heavily soiled items may require additional treatment. We provide clear, tailored quotes to ensure transparency before any work begins.

Do you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?

We aim to accommodate urgent requests where possible, including same-day or next-day bookings. Availability depends on scheduling and location, so early contact is recommended. We will always try to provide a suitable solution for time-sensitive situations.

Is your upholstery cleaning service insured?

Yes, our service is fully insured. We carry public liability cover and goods in transit insurance, ensuring protection for your property and our team. Our cleaners are trained to handle upholstery carefully and professionally.

What is included in upholstery cleaning?

The service includes inspection, pre-treatment of stains, deep cleaning using suitable methods, and deodorising. We remove dirt, allergens, and odours while taking care to protect the fabric. Additional treatments may be available depending on the material.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking a few days in advance to secure your preferred time slot, especially during busy periods. However, we aim to remain flexible and can often accommodate short-notice bookings where availability allows.

How long does upholstery take to dry?

Drying time typically ranges from 4 to 10 hours depending on the cleaning method, fabric type, and ventilation. We use efficient extraction equipment to minimise moisture, helping your furniture dry as quickly as possible.
