What the job covers
A deep clean for fabric sofas that refreshes the upholstery and lifts the oils, dust and grime that build up where people sit most.
- Upholstery type checked before any wet cleaning
- Deep clean across seats, cushions, arms and back
- Spot treatment on headrests and common marks
- Reducing odours that settle into the seats
- Corner and modular sofas cleaned (share the layout)
What a sofa clean involves
We bring hot-water extraction and work it through the seats, the arms and the back of the sofa. Before any of that, we check the fabric and test a small hidden patch, because not every cover takes water the same way. The headrests and seat fronts soak up body oils over the years, so those get the closest attention. Most sofas take under an hour.
- checking the care label and the fabric type first
- testing a hidden patch before we wet the whole piece
- lifting cushions to reach the deck and the crevices underneath
- going over headrests and arm tops where heads and hands rest
Two-seaters, corners and modular sofas
A two-seater is one sofa and priced as one. A large corner or an L-shape counts as more, because there is simply more seating to clean and it takes longer. Modular sofas come apart into separate seats, and we clean each module rather than guessing at one flat figure.
Tell us roughly how many seats you have and we give you the price before booking. From £57 per sofa, with the corner and modular figure confirmed once we know the size. No surprises added on the day.
Pet hair, spills and the marks people sit into
We lift pet hair before the wet stage, since matted fur traps dirt and stops the extraction reaching the fibres. Old spills and food marks get treated and worked through, though a stain that has set for months may lighten rather than vanish completely. The dark sheen people sit into, that greasy shine on the seat fronts and headrests, is body oil, and hot-water extraction shifts most of it.
How soon you can use it again
Most sofas are touch-dry in two to four hours and fully dry within about six. Drying depends on how thick the cushions are, the fabric, and the air in the room. Open a window or run a fan and it speeds up. We leave the cushions standing so air moves around them, and we will tell you what to expect for your particular sofa before we pack up and go.
