upholstery Cleaning FAQs

How often should upholstery be professionally cleaned?

Most experts recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 12–24 months to remove deep dirt, allergens, and stains, especially in high-traffic homes.

What is the best method for upholstery cleaning?

Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) is one of the most effective upholstery cleaning methods, as it removes deep-seated dirt, bacteria, body oils, dust mites, and allergens without leaving chemical residue.

Can professional upholstery cleaning remove stains?

Recent stains will come out much easier than those that have been sitting for months or years. Knowing the source of the stain helps as well. Of course, we will always try our best, but some stains may be permanent.

How much does upholstery cleaning cost?

Prices range from $80 to $250+ depending on the size of the furniture, fabric type, stains, and level of soiling.

Is steam cleaning safe for all fabrics?

Steam cleaning is safe for most fabrics, but delicate materials like silk or velvet may require specialised low-moisture or dry cleaning methods.

How long does upholstery cleaning take?

Most upholstery cleaning appointments take 1–2 hours, depending on the size and number of items being cleaned, and level of soiling.

Does upholstery cleaning help with allergies?

Yes. Professional upholstery cleaning removes dust mites, pollen, pet hair/dander, and allergens trapped in your upholstery fibres, which reduces allergy symptoms.

How do you remove tough stains from upholstery?

Tough stains are treated with specialised stain removers and techniques tailored to the fabric type and stain source for the best results.

Are professional cleaning machines stronger than rental machines?

Yes. Professional upholstery cleaning machines have much stronger suction, higher water pressure, and better heat, allowing them to remove far more dirt and moisture.

Is steam cleaning safe for children and pets?

Yes. We only use eco-friendly, 100% biodegradable products, and furniture is safe for children and pets once fully dry.
