Why trust a professional with your sofa cleaning?
A fabric sofa or couch easily holds dust, pet hair, everyday soil and signs of daily use. Over time, the fabric can dull, odours can set in, and some stains become harder to treat with a household product.
Professional upholstery cleaning starts with a pre-service fibre inspection. Depending on the fabric type and the condition of the piece, we use suitable products, shampooing, steam cleaning and hot-water extraction when compatible with the fibre. The goal: lift embedded soil, limit residue and respect the furniture.
We come to your home for sofas, couches, loveseats, sectionals, armchairs, recliners, upholstered dining chairs and fabric headboards. The method is chosen according to the manufacturer’s care code, the fabric type and the soil level observed on site.
What Types of Upholstered Furniture Do We Clean?
We provide professional upholstery cleaning at home for the main types of residential and commercial fabric furniture:
- Sofas, couches and loveseats: professional cleaning of sofas, couches and loveseats, including upholstered seats, backrests, armrests and cushions, adapted to the fabric.
- Sectional Sofa Cleaning: Professional cleaning of sectional sofas of all sizes, including L-shaped sectionals, U-shaped sectionals and large modular sofas.
- Armchairs, wingback chairs, recliners and upholstered dining chairs: professional cleaning of armchairs, wingback chairs, recliners—including La-Z-Boy-style recliner cleaning—and upholstered kitchen and dining chairs. Cleaning is adapted to the fabric and furniture construction.
- Upholstered headboards: professional cleaning of upholstered fabric headboards, including Queen and King sizes, with treatments adapted to dust, body residue, stains and frequently used areas.
- More delicate fabrics: velvet, chenille and certain natural fibres that need a careful approach.
- Commercial furniture: office chairs and waiting-room seating, depending on fabric condition.
Technician tip: removable covers
If your cushion covers are removable, avoid machine-washing them without checking the manufacturer’s instructions. Dryer heat can shrink the fabric and make reassembly difficult. Our on-site cleaning treats the fabric directly on the furniture, which helps avoid that risk.

Our five-step process
Pre-service inspection
The technician inspects the fibres and the condition of the furniture, checks care codes and assesses stains or odours before choosing the method.
Preparation and targeted stain work
Furniture preparation and manual treatment of stubborn stains (food, drinks, grease, etc.) when warranted, with products suited to the textile.
Shampooing, steam and extraction
When the textile is compatible, we proceed with shampooing and steam cleaning with hot-water extraction to lift soil and remove the residue-laden water.
Specialty treatments when needed
If the inspection warrants it, the technician explains appropriate treatments—including enzymatic or oxygen-based options—and clarifies what is recommended, needed based on the assessment, or optional. No additional treatment is done without your authorization, and results on stains or odours are not guaranteed.
Finishing and drying guidance
Fibre grooming when needed, tips for optimal drying and, when relevant, a recommendation for a stain protector compatible with the fabric.
Extend the life of your furniture
Body residue, dust and everyday soil build up especially on armrests, seats, backs and cushions. Professional cleaning adapted to the textile helps remove soils that dull the fabric and accelerate wear. Depending on the fibre inspection and the condition of the piece, specialty treatments may be recommended for more complex stains or odours—only with your approval, with no promise of a guaranteed result.
After cleaning, applying a professional fabric stain protector may be advised when the fabric allows, including a carbon-based protector. This type of protection helps slow liquid absorption and gives you more time to blot an everyday spill—without promising absolute protection.
Five signs professional cleaning is due
- Persistent odours — A musty or sweat-related smell that returns despite airing can indicate deeper soiling in the padding.
- Grey or yellowed areas — Armrests, seats, backs and cushions that change shade with use and accumulated soil.
- Stains that resist — When home wiping is no longer enough, a professional treatment adapted to the fabric is often needed.
- Dull fabric despite regular care — A soiled or dull look that returns quickly after vacuuming can signal soil embedded in the fibres.
- Heavy living-room use — Large families, pets or frequent traffic: fabric soils faster and periodic professional care becomes useful.
What influences cleaning price
The cost of sofa or couch cleaning varies with what we observe on site:
Furniture size
The quote accounts for size (armchair, two- or three-seat sofa, sectional).
Fabric type
Some textiles, such as velvet or more delicate fibres, need more time and care.
Stains and odours
A specialty treatment (for example enzymatic or oxygen-based) may be added if recommended after inspection and authorized by you.
Number of pieces
Several pieces cleaned during the same visit can change service time and the quote.
The price of cleaning a sofa, couch, loveseat or sectional depends on furniture size, fabric, soil level, stains present and treatments recommended on site. For a clearer idea before the appointment, request an estimate or review our current promotions, when they apply to fabric furniture.
Frequently asked questions — fabric furniture cleaning
Is steam sofa cleaning effective?
Yes, when it is properly adapted to the textile. After a pre-service inspection, we use suitable products, shampooing and steam cleaning with hot-water extraction when the fabric allows. This approach removes soil and residue more thoroughly than a household product or a consumer machine, whose extraction is often insufficient.
How long does the sofa take to dry after steam cleaning?
Drying usually takes 2 to 6 hours, depending on fabric type, room humidity and ventilation. Opening windows or using a fan can speed things up. After cleaning, the furniture is typically slightly damp, not soaked.
How often should a sofa be professionally cleaned?
For typical residential use, an annual cleaning is often a good benchmark. With young children, pets or heavy living-room use, a shorter interval can help. After long periods without care, stains and odours generally become harder to treat.
What do the W, S and W-S codes on my sofa tag mean?
These codes indicate the manufacturer’s recommended method: W = water-based cleaning, S = solvent only, W-S = both methods may be suitable, X = vacuum only. During the pre-service inspection, the technician checks this code to choose an approach compatible with the fabric.
Do I need to remove the cushions before the technician arrives?
No, that is not necessary. The technician removes and replaces the cushions as part of the service. That also allows inspection and cleaning of less visible areas under and between cushions, which are often more soiled.
Can you treat urine odours (children or pets) on a fabric sofa?
In many cases, a treatment can help. After inspecting the fibres and the condition of the furniture, the technician explains what is recommended, needed based on the assessment, or optional—including an enzymatic or oxygen-based treatment aimed at the odour source rather than a simple perfume. No additional treatment is applied without your authorization, and results are not guaranteed: the outcome depends on how old the stain is and the condition of the piece.
Is it safe for my children and pets?
We use products chosen for residential use and adapted to the textile being treated. Once the furniture is dry—usually after 2 to 6 hours depending on conditions—it can typically be used normally again. If you have particular sensitivities, mention them when booking so the technician can take them into account.
Between cleanings: for light spot care on a sofa or upholstered fabric between scheduled visits or on a specific area (depending on the textile), see our professional enzymatic spot cleaner — always ask for guidance for your fabric before applying.
