Sofas are manufactured using a wide range of fabrics, stitching methods and padding materials, all of which require specialist cleaning techniques. Over time, upholstery becomes soiled and stained by everyday use — from food and drink spills to pet hair and dirt brought in from outside.
To achieve outstanding results, our fully trained and fully insured sofa cleaning experts carefully inspect, analyse and treat your upholstery using professional-grade equipment and solutions. This ensures a deep, thorough and hygienic clean every time.
Without regular professional sofa cleaning, upholstery can quickly suffer from permanent stains, visible wear and tear, and irreversible discolouration.
Our professional sofa cleaning service not only restores the fresh scent, soft feel and clean appearance you expect, but also delivers a deep-cleaning process that helps your upholstery to:
- Last significantly longer
- Remove dust mites and bacteria
- Help filter harmful indoor air pollutants
- Eliminate allergy-triggering proteins

Our Step by Step Hot Water Extraction Cleaning System
Hot water extraction is commonly known as steam cleaning which is a method whereby a formulated cleaning solution is injected deep within the mattress and then extracted removing deep down dirt.
STEP 1: High-Powered Pre-Vacuuming
5 times more powerful than a standard household vacuum cleaner!
Our expert uses a specialised high-powered vacuum cleaner to remove loose dust, dirt and debris from deep within your sofa. Using dedicated edge and crevice tools, all debris is thoroughly vacuumed from seams, frame edges, cushion areas and hard-to-reach corners that standard household vacuum cleaners cannot reach.
STEP 2: Pre-Inspection
Our expert will carefully inspect your upholstery to identify the fabric type, construction, dye stability and cushion structure, as well as assess any heavily soiled or stained areas and signs of excessive wear and tear.
STEP 3: Pre-Spray
Our expert will apply an advanced pre-spray cleaning solution with high cleaning power and a gentle, fabric-safe pH. The solution is allowed time to penetrate the upholstery, helping to sanitise the fabric, break down dust mites and allergens, and loosen embedded dirt and soil in preparation for extraction.
STEP 4: Spot & Stain Treatment
Our expert will carefully inspect your upholstery for any remaining spots or stains. Any identified areas will receive targeted treatment using our specialist upholstery spotting solutions, selected according to the fabric type and stain characteristics.
STEP 5: Agitation
Our expert will gently work the advanced pre-spray cleaning solution into the upholstery fibres, ensuring that as much embedded dirt and soil as possible is loosened and released for removal. At the same time, remaining dust and contaminants are transferred into the cleaning solution.
This process is carried out using specialised upholstery agitation tools or soft brushes, selected according to the fabric type and level of soiling, to ensure effective cleaning without damaging the upholstery.
STEP 6: Rinsing & Extraction
Our expert will rinse the upholstery using a powerful hot water extraction machine. This process involves injecting an effective extraction cleaner and deodoriser deep into the upholstery fibres at controlled pressure.
This action dislodges any remaining dirt, residues and contaminants from the base of the upholstery while helping to eliminate bacteria and germs within the fibres. Our high-powered twin vacuum motors then extract the dirty solution into a sealed waste tank, leaving your sofa as clean and as dry as possible.
STEP 7: Post-Cleaning Inspection
Our expert will carry out a final inspection to review the cleaning results. If you are available, they will walk through the results with you to ensure you are fully satisfied with the service provided.
STEP 8: Grooming
As a final step, our expert carefully grooms the upholstery fibres to restore their natural direction and achieve a clean, even and professional finish. Sofa cushions are correctly repositioned to maintain their shape and allow balanced drying, preventing moisture build-up and ensuring the best possible final appearance.
