Professional sofa upholstery cleaning - deep extraction cleaning that removes years of accumulated grime, treats stains, and leaves your sofa looking and smelling fresh.
The Sofa Problem
Sofas get used constantly. Every evening, every weekend, every Netflix binge. They absorb body oils, spills, pet hair, and dust until they're noticeably grubby.
💡 Pro tip: Remove cushions and clean the sofa base too. That's where crumbs, coins, and years of debris collect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does sofa cleaning take?
A two-seater about an hour, three-seater around 90 minutes. Larger corner sofas take longer. Very stained sofas need more time. We'll estimate when we see it.
Can you remove all stains?
Most improve significantly, many disappear completely. Very old, set stains or bleach marks may not fully remove. We're honest about what's possible when we assess.
How long until we can sit on it?
Best to leave it overnight. Walking past or briefly sitting after a few hours is usually fine. Proper drying prevents mould and ensures best results.
Do you clean leather sofas?
Leather needs different treatment than fabric - cleaning and conditioning rather than extraction. We can do it but it's a separate service. Ask if needed.
