How sofa cleaning works
We start by assessing the type of fabric and how dirty it is, and pre-treat the individual stains. Then we deep clean the upholstery: we apply a cleaning solution and a powerful machine immediately extracts it back out together with the dirt.
Sofas, mattresses and thicker upholstery dry within 24 hours after cleaning. Thanks to the extraction method the sofa is never left soaked, because the machine draws most of the moisture back out while we work. Cleaning a sofa itself takes 60 to 120 minutes, depending on its size, how broken up it is, the material and how dirty it is. We work in your home, with no furniture moving.
Couches, corner sofas and full suites
A couch and a sofa are the same thing to us: we deep clean both by the same extraction method, whatever you call the piece. We clean two- and three-seaters, corner suites, full sofa sets, sofa beds and the settee in the living room.
With a sofa bed we can also clean the surface underneath the fold-out mattress, where dust and crumbs collect most. With a corner sofa the price is set by length and material rather than by the number of seats.
Couch cleaning happens in your flat. We do not move or transport furniture anywhere; we only need access to electricity and water and room to move around the piece.
Fabric and leather sofas
Fabric sofas and couches are cleaned by classic hot water extraction. Leather sofas are cleaned by a gentler method designed for leather, so that they are neither soaked nor damaged.
If you do not know the material, or it is suede or a similarly delicate fabric, send us a photo. We choose both the method and the price from what we can see; where the fabric is unknown we quote it as a fabric sofa.
We work exclusively on upholstered furniture, meaning sofas, couches and armchairs. We do not clean car seats or car interiors.
What we can help with
We recommend having a sofa cleaned at least once a year, ideally together with carpets and mattresses in a single visit. For heavier soiling such as pet urine, faeces or children's accidents involving yoghurt or chocolate, get in touch as soon as possible after it happens. Fresh soiling is still mostly in the top layer, so the chance of removing both the stain and the odour is considerably higher than with dried, deeply soaked dirt.
- Everyday stains: coffee, wine, tea, food and grease.
- Odours, including pet smells, can often be reduced or removed.
- Dust, dirt and part of the allergens settled deep in the upholstery.
- Greying and general wear on the surface of the fabric.
The detergent we use on upholstery
We clean sofas with Kärcher CarpetPro RM 760 Classic from the Kärcher CarpetPro range. The manufacturer describes it as an effective deep cleaner for extraction cleaning of textile floor coverings and upholstery, which releases heavy oils, grease and mineral dirt, is gentle on materials, contains no bleaching agents and improves the hygiene of the cleaned area. Its pH value is 8 in the concentrate.
We dilute and apply the concentrate ourselves, test the material in a less visible spot first, never soak the textile, rinse the area with clean water and extract the solution together with the dirt. The manufacturer does not claim removal of dust mites, allergens, bacteria or viruses, nor disinfection, so neither do we; extraction cleaning helps draw out dirt, dust and part of the trapped allergens.
The price of sofa and couch cleaning
The minimum call-out price is €40. It applies to every visit, even if we are only cleaning a single armchair.
Cleaning a fabric sofa starts from €15 per seat, a leather sofa from €20 per seat, a sofa bed from €35 per item and a corner sofa from €60 per item depending on length and material. A three-seater therefore works out from roughly €45, and a five-seater from roughly €75.
We give you a fixed price once you send a photo of the sofa on WhatsApp, and that price holds with no surprises on the day.
