How long does upholstery take to dry after cleaning?

Most upholstery is dry within 2–4 hours after cleaning. We use low-moisture extraction techniques and air movers to accelerate drying. Delicate fabrics may take slightly longer. You can use the furniture in clean clothes once it's touch-dry, but we recommend waiting until fully dry before regular use.

Can you clean leather furniture and lounges?

Yes. We offer specialist leather cleaning using pH-balanced, professional-grade leather cleaners that safely remove body oils, dirt, and stains without damaging the finish. We also apply a leather conditioner after cleaning to restore moisture and prevent cracking. Our technicians are trained in all leather types including aniline, semi-aniline, and protected leather.

Is your upholstery cleaning safe for pets and children?

Yes. We use non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for children and pets once dry. Our pre-sprays and rinses are pH-balanced and leave no harmful residue. For households with allergies, we offer anti-microbial and dust mite allergen treatments that create a healthier indoor environment.

Can you remove ink, wine, and oil stains from upholstery?

We successfully remove most common upholstery stains using specialist stain chemistry tailored to the fabric type and stain source. Ink, wine, food, grease, and body oil stains are all treatable. While we cannot guarantee 100% removal of every stain, our IICRC-certified technicians achieve excellent results even on challenging stains.

How often should I have my upholstery professionally cleaned?

We recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 12–18 months for most households. Homes with pets, allergies, or heavy use benefit from cleaning every 6–12 months. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of your furniture and removes embedded allergens, dust mites, and bacteria that vacuuming alone cannot reach.

Do you clean mattresses as well?

Yes. We offer professional mattress cleaning that removes dust mites, allergens, sweat, and stains using deep extraction and anti-microbial treatment. Mattress cleaning is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and is recommended every 6–12 months for optimal hygiene.

Deep Cleaning for Your Everyday Furniture

Upholstered furniture absorbs soil, oils and allergens over time — not just on the surface but deep within the foam and fabric. Regular vacuuming removes loose dust but cannot extract the embedded contaminants that cause odours, allergies and fabric deterioration.

Our professional upholstery cleaning uses fibre-specific chemistry and controlled moisture extraction to flush out deep soil, body oils, food stains and allergens — leaving your furniture fresh, hygienic and dry within hours, not days.

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process

Fibre Identification & Pre-Inspection

We identify the fabric type and assess for stains, wear and pre-existing damage. This determines the correct cleaning method and chemistry.

Pre-Treatment Application

Fibre-specific pre-spray is applied to break down body oils, food residue and embedded soil. Stains are spot-treated with specialist chemistry.

Agitation & Dwell Time

The pre-spray is gently agitated into the fabric and allowed to dwell for maximum soil breakdown without damaging delicate fibres.

Hot Water Extraction

Our truck-mounted system flushes and extracts the cleaning solution, soil and contaminants — leaving the fabric clean and residue-free.

Speed Drying

We use air movers to accelerate drying. Most furniture is dry within 2–4 hours and ready for use the same day.

Optional Fabric Protection

We can apply a fabric protection treatment to repel future spills and stains, extending the life of your freshly cleaned upholstery.

Safe for Children & Pets

We use non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for children and pets once dry. Our pre-sprays and rinses are pH-balanced and leave no harmful residue.
