Your Sofa Takes More Than Your Carpet Does
A lounge collects body oils, hair product, sunscreen, food, drink and dust, and it holds all of it right where people sit. Vacuuming lifts the loose surface dust, but the rest settles into the weave and the foam underneath. That is what makes a light sofa look grey on the arms and the headrest long before the fabric is actually worn.
We clean upholstery with hot water extraction, scaled down for fabric: the piece is vacuumed, pre-treated where it needs it, rinsed with hot water through an upholstery tool, and the moisture and loosened soil are drawn straight back out. The aim is a sofa that is clean and dry the same day — not one that is soaked and smells damp for a week.
Before any water touches the fabric we read the care label and test a spot you cannot see. Some fabrics are not suitable for wet cleaning, and we would rather tell you that at the quote than find out on your lounge.
Lounges, Chairs and Everything You Sit On
Fabric Sofas and Modulars
Two and three seaters, corner and modular lounges, chaises, sofa beds — including the cushions, arms and headrests that pick up the most.
Armchairs and Dining Chairs
Recliners, occasional chairs and fabric dining chairs, where food and drink marks usually sit on the seat and the front edge.
Office and Desk Chairs
Fabric task chairs in home offices and workplaces. Ask about them with your commercial carpet cleaning booking.
Carpet, Rugs and Mattresses
Most people book the lounge with the carpet in the same visit. See all cleaning services.
How We Clean Upholstery
Inspect and Test
We check the fabric and care label, look at the marks, and test a hidden area before anything else.
Dry Vacuum
Loose soil, crumbs, hair and dust come out dry first — wetting them turns them into mud in the weave.
Pre-Treat and Agitate
Arms, headrests and seat cushions get treated where they need it, so the soil releases instead of being pushed in.
Extract and Dry
Hot water rinses the fabric and suction pulls the moisture and soil straight back out, so it dries the same day.
Can Every Sofa Be Steam Cleaned?
No — it depends on the fabric, which is why we check the care label before quoting a wet clean. Most modern fabric lounges handle hot water extraction well. Some fabrics and some older pieces do not, and a few need a completely different approach. Send us a photo of the label under the cushion or on the base and we will tell you where yours sits before you book.
What to Send Us
- A photo of the care label (under a cushion or on the base)
- A photo of the whole piece and of any marks
- Roughly how old it is
- What caused the stain, if you know
- Whether it has been cleaned or treated before
What We Check on Arrival
- Fabric type and the care-label code
- A test on an area you cannot see
- Whether the seams and piping are stable
- How the foam and filling are holding up
- Which marks will lift and which may not
What Comes Out, and What Might Not
Everyday soiling — body oils, dust, food and drink spills, general grime on the arms and headrest — usually comes out well. Dye-based marks, bleach damage, sun fading and anything that has already changed the colour of the fibre are a different matter, because the fibre itself has been altered rather than just soiled.
Usually Responds Well
- General soiling on arms, seats and headrests
- Food and drink spills
- Body oils and hair product build-up
- Dust and dust mite debris in the weave
- Everyday odour held in the fabric
We Will Be Honest About
- Old pet urine that has soaked into the foam
- Dye transfer from denim, throws or newspaper
- Bleach marks and sun-faded panels
- Ink, paint and some cosmetics
- Fabric that is worn rather than dirty
How Much Does Sofa Cleaning Cost in Sydney?
Upholstery is priced by the piece and by how many seats it has, plus the condition of the fabric. A two-seater in normal condition is a quick job; a modular lounge with cushions and pet marks takes much longer. We quote per job, so the price you are given is the price you pay.
What Affects the Price
- How many pieces and how many seats
- Condition — stains, odour and build-up
- Loose cushions and whether both sides are done
- Fabric type and any extra care needed
- Whether carpet or rugs are done at the same visit
Book It With the Carpet
The same visit can cover the carpet, the lounge, the rugs and the mattresses. One trip, one quote, and the whole room looks consistent afterwards — rather than fresh carpet next to a tired-looking sofa.
How Long Until You Can Sit on It?
Most fabric lounges are dry enough to use within 4–6 hours, and fully dry within about 24 hours. Airflow is what decides it: open the windows, run a fan or the air conditioner, and keep cushions standing on edge rather than lying flat so air can reach both faces.
Keep pets off it while it dries, and do not put throws or covers back on until the fabric feels dry to the touch. If a mark looks like it has returned after a day or two, tell us — that is usually soil wicking up from deeper in the foam, and it is worth a look rather than a shrug.

Sofa & Upholstery Cleaning FAQs
It is priced by the piece and the number of seats, plus the condition of the fabric. Tell us what you have and send a photo and we will quote it before you book. Call +61 415 431 307 or message us on WhatsApp.
Usually 4–6 hours before you can sit on it, and about 24 hours to be completely dry. Open windows and a fan make a big difference, and cushions dry faster standing on edge.
Leather needs a different treatment to fabric, so tell us what you have when you enquire and we will confirm what we can do before you book rather than after.
Everyday pet odour held in the fabric usually improves a lot. Urine that has soaked through into the foam is harder, because the source is below the surface — we will give you an honest view once we have seen it.
Yes. Seat and back cushions are part of the job, and they are usually the dirtiest part of a lounge. Tell us if any covers are removable.
No. We clean it where it stands and work around the room. Just clear anything breakable off and around it before we arrive.
Hot water extraction with an upholstery tool — the fabric is vacuumed, pre-treated where needed, rinsed and immediately extracted, so it is not left saturated.
Yes, and most people do. See our carpet cleaning page and ask us to quote both together.
