Residential Cleaning

Upholstery Cleaning

Residential upholstery cleaning in London — thorough, fabric-safe deep cleaning to revitalise sofas, armchairs, and soft furnishings in the home.

About our upholstery cleaning service

Household sofas and armchairs absorb more than most people realise — body oils, food residue, pet dander, airborne dust, and bacteria build up over months and years, dulling colours and contributing to household allergens. Our residential upholstery cleaning service provides a thorough, fabric-safe deep clean that removes these contaminants, revitalises the colour and texture of the fabric, and leaves your furniture looking and smelling genuinely fresh.

We always begin by checking the manufacturer's fabric care code and testing our cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area before proceeding. This care-first approach ensures that every piece of furniture is cleaned using the method that is safest for its specific fabric — whether that is low-moisture steam extraction, dry solvent cleaning, or a combination of both. The result is consistently impressive, with most clients surprised by the difference a professional clean makes.

How it works

01

Fabric Testing

We check the care label, identify the fabric type, and test our cleaning solution in a hidden area to confirm it is safe before proceeding.

02

Pre-treatment

Heavily soiled areas — armrests, seat cushions, and any staining — receive targeted pre-treatment to break down soiling before the main clean.

03

Extraction

The upholstery is gently cleaned and vacuumed simultaneously, pulling dirt, moisture, and cleaning residue out of the fabric in a single pass.

04

Drying Assistance

Air movers are positioned to accelerate drying, ensuring the furniture is ready for use as quickly as possible.
