SERVICE / PROFESSIONAL UPHOLSTERY CARE
Professional upholstery cleaning for every type of fabric furniture
Regular upholstery cleaning helps extend the appearance of sofas, armchairs and fabric seating by removing everyday dust, body oils, household allergens and accumulated dirt. Every item is assessed before cleaning so the selected method matches the fabric, construction and overall condition rather than applying a single approach to every piece of furniture.
Fabric inspection before cleaning
Every appointment begins with a careful assessment of the upholstery. Our technician checks the fabric type, colour stability, visible wear, manufacturer care labels and the general condition of the furniture. This helps determine the safest cleaning process for cotton, linen, microfibre, synthetic blends and many other commonly used upholstery materials found in London homes.
Cleaning designed around your furniture
Every property is different, which is why we ask about the number of sofas, armchairs, dining chairs or cushions before preparing a quotation. Photographs are always helpful because they allow us to understand the condition of the upholstery, identify heavily used areas and recommend the most suitable cleaning approach before the visit is confirmed.
Attention to detail throughout the visit
During the appointment the focus is placed on the visible condition of the upholstery, frequently used seating areas, arms, headrests, cushions and detailed fabric surfaces where everyday dirt naturally accumulates. Any permanent staining, fabric limitations or specialist requirements are explained clearly before cleaning begins so the scope of the work is fully understood.
SERVICE / WHAT’S INCLUDED
Everything is planned around the furniture and fabric
Every upholstery cleaning appointment begins with an inspection of the furniture and a discussion about the results you are hoping to achieve. The cleaning method, products and working time are selected according to the fabric type, visible condition and manufacturer guidance rather than using a single process for every item.

PROCESS / PROFESSIONAL UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
A structured process designed around every piece of furniture
Every upholstery cleaning appointment follows a clear sequence, from the initial inspection through to the final review. This helps ensure the selected cleaning method is appropriate for the fabric, construction and visible condition of each item.
Inspect the upholstery
The appointment starts with a detailed inspection of the furniture. Fabric type, colour stability, manufacturer care labels, previous cleaning attempts and visible staining are reviewed before a suitable cleaning method is selected.
Prepare the working area
Accessible upholstery is vacuumed where appropriate, surrounding floors are protected if required and individual stains are inspected. Any limitations or specialist treatments are discussed before work begins.
Clean the fabric carefully
The agreed cleaning method is applied across seating areas, backs, arms, cushions and accessible fabric surfaces. Extra attention is given to high-contact areas where dirt naturally accumulates during everyday use.
Check the finished result
After cleaning, the completed work is reviewed together with practical advice about ventilation, drying times and when the furniture can return to normal everyday use.

FAQ / UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
Useful questions before the visit.
Which upholstery items can be assessed?
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, occasional chairs, footstools and other fabric-covered furniture can be considered when their construction and material allow safe cleaning.
Do you need photographs before quoting?
Clear photographs of the full item, care label, cushions and any marks help define the likely scope. The technician still confirms the condition on arrival.
Will every stain disappear?
No responsible cleaner can promise that. Results depend on the fibre, stain, age, previous treatments and whether the material has been permanently altered.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Drying time varies with fabric, construction, ventilation, temperature and the method used. Keep the item out of normal use until it is fully dry.
Should I move the furniture first?
Remove small personal items and provide a clear route. Heavy furniture should only be moved if this has been agreed and can be done safely.
Can upholstery cleaning be added to an end of tenancy visit?
Yes, when availability, item details and drying time are confirmed in advance. It remains a separately defined part of the quotation.
