Fabric-Safe Cleaning for All Your Upholstered Furniture
Restore, refresh, and protect your furniture investment.
Your sofa, armchairs, dining chairs, and upholstered headboards are among the most-used items in your home — and they absorb everything. Daily sitting transfers body oils, sweat, food particles, and dust deep into fabric fibres. Over time, even the most beautiful upholstery begins to look tired, smell stale, and harbour allergens.
Specialist Upholstery Cleaning — Not Just a Standard Wash
Upholstery fabrics are vastly different from one another. A linen sofa requires a completely different approach to a leather armchair or a velvet ottoman. Using the wrong cleaning chemical or method can cause discolouration, shrinkage, texture damage, or water staining that permanently ruins expensive furniture.
That's why Stephen personally trains every technician in fabric identification and appropriate treatment selection. Before any cleaning begins, we identify your upholstery fabric type, test a small inconspicuous area, and select the optimal cleaning method.
What's Included
Sofas, chairs, all upholstered pieces
Comprehensive fabric care for every upholstered item — three-piece suites, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards.
Dry & wet cleaning options
Matched to fabric type. Delicate fabrics receive dry cleaning; hardier fabrics benefit from controlled wet extraction.

Add our 12-month professional stain-repellent coating to protect your freshly cleaned furniture from future spills.

Regular professional cleaning removes abrasive dirt particles that wear down fabric fibres with every sit.
