Why have your sofa professionally cleaned?
A sofa is much more than a piece of furniture: it's the heart of your living room. Unfortunately, it acts as a magnet for dust, pet hair, and body oils. These elements accumulate, eventually creating unpleasant odors and dulling the original colors of your fabric.
Our injection-extraction cleaning uses pH-balanced solutions that dislodge dirt without leaving sticky residue, extending the life of your furniture in the process.
Fabrics and types of furniture treated
We master the art of cleaning for all types of textile upholstery:
- Sofa and sectional: microfiber, cotton, linen, and synthetic blends.
- Armchairs and chairs: dining chairs, wing chairs, and recliners.
- Delicate fabrics: velvet, chenille, and natural fibers requiring special care.
- Commercial furniture: office chairs and waiting room armchairs.
Technician's advice: the cover test
If your cushion covers are removable, avoid putting them in the washing machine. The heat from the dryer can shrink the cover, making reassembly impossible. Our on-site cleaning method treats the fabric directly on the padding, without any risk of deformation.

Extend the life of your living room
Body oils and sweat are your sofas' #1 enemies. In Montreal, our technicians often notice that the areas where people rest their heads and arms are the first to degrade. Our steam extraction cleaning removes these corrosive oils, preserving fiber integrity and extending your furniture's life by several years.
We also strongly recommend applying a professional stain protector after cleaning. This invisible barrier prevents liquids from penetrating instantly, giving you time to wipe it up before a stain forms (ideal for coffee, wine, and small accidents).
5 signs your sofa needs steam cleaning
- Persistent odors — A stale or sweat/pet odor even after airing out the room indicates that bacteria are embedded deep in the padding.
- Gray or yellowed areas — Armrests, headrests, and seats change color with the accumulation of sebum and body dirt.
- Stubborn stains — If wiping with water is no longer enough, the stain has penetrated the fibers and requires a professional steam treatment.
- Allergies in the living room — Frequent sneezing, itchy eyes, or nasal congestion on the couch indicate an accumulation of dust mites and allergens.
- Dulling fabric or pilling — Excessive pilling or loss of luster are often caused by dirt residues that wear out fibers from the inside.
What influences the cost of cleaning
The cost of a sofa cleaning varies according to several logical criteria:
Number of Seats
The rate is based on the dimension (armchair, 2-3 seater sofa, or sectional).
Fabric Type
Certain delicate fabrics like velvet or natural fibers take more time.
Stains & Odors
The enzymatic treatment for urine or strong odors requires extra steps.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fabric Furniture Cleaning
Is steam cleaning a sofa effective?
Yes, steam cleaning by injection-extraction is the most effective method for fabric furniture. High-temperature steam breaks down body oils, kills bacteria and dust mites, and the extraction immediately vacuums the dirt-laden water. The result is incomparable to a standard household cleaner or a consumer steam cleaner whose suction is insufficient to extract deep dirt.
How long does it take for the sofa to dry after steam cleaning?
On average, drying takes between 4 and 8 hours after our intervention. This depends on the humidity in your home, the type of fabric, and ventilation. Opening windows or using a fan reduces this time. Our high-power extraction removes up to 95% of moisture immediately, leaving the sofa slightly damp rather than soaked.
How often should I get my sofa professionally cleaned?
For a household of 2 to 4 people without pets, an annual cleaning is recommended. With young children, pets, or allergy sufferers, we recommend every 6 to 9 months. In practice, our technicians observe that most clients wait too long: after 2 years without cleaning, soil is more difficult to treat and fibers may be permanently damaged.
What do the W, S, and W-S codes on my sofa's tag mean?
These codes on your sofa's label specify the cleaning method recommended by the manufacturer: W = water-based cleaning only, S = solvent only (no water), W-S = both methods are acceptable, X = vacuum only. During our inspection, our technician always checks this code to choose the right product and avoid damaging the fabric.
Do I need to remove the cushions before the technician arrives?
No, it's not necessary. Our technician removes and repositions the cushions themselves as part of the service. This allows us to also inspect and clean crevices and hidden areas beneath the cushions, which are often the dirtiest parts of the sofa.
Can you eliminate urine odors (children or pets) on a fabric sofa?
Absolutely. We use professional enzymatic solutions that break down uric acid molecules at their source, rather than just masking them with perfume. For cases where urine has penetrated down to the padding, we apply a deep treatment with an enzymatic dwell time. In over 90% of cases, the odor is completely eliminated in a single visit.
Is the cleaning safe for my children and pets?
Yes, we exclusively use certified eco-friendly and biodegradable products, with no harmful chemical residues. Once the sofa is dry (4 to 8 hours), it is perfectly safe for the whole family, including babies and pets. Our products are also free of harsh perfumes and are environmentally friendly.
Between professional cleanings: for light spot care on fabric upholstery between scheduled visits or on a small defined area (per fabric care guidance), see our professional enzymatic spot cleaner — always ask for guidance for your specific fabric before applying any product.
