Upholstery Cleaning
Upholstered furniture absorbs body oils, dust mites, pet dander and everyday spills over time. Professional upholstery cleaning restores fabric appearance, removes odours and extends the life of your furniture significantly.
Different fabrics require different cleaning methods — a professional cleaner will assess your upholstery type before selecting the right approach. Getting 3 quotes lets you compare price and method.
What affects the cost of Upholstery Cleaning?
Prices vary between professionals depending on several factors. Getting 3 quotes gives you a clear picture of the market rate for your specific job.
- Number and size of rooms — most cleaners price per room, with larger rooms costing more.
- Carpet type — deep pile, wool, or heavily soiled carpets require more time and specialist cleaning.
- Stain treatment — targeted stain pre-treatment before steam cleaning adds to the service cost.
- Protective coating — applying a Scotchgard-type protector after cleaning adds to the total.
- Furniture moving — if furniture needs to be repositioned rather than cleaned around, this adds time.
