Yes. Velvet and crushed velvet sofas are one of our most common requests. These fabrics require specialist low-moisture cleaning techniques to prevent water marking, pile crush and permanent nap distortion. We use fabric-safe solutions from Prochem Europe and work in the direction of the pile to avoid flattening. After cleaning, we groom the velvet nap to restore its original texture and sheen. Crushed velvet sofas from retailers like SCS, DFS and Furniture Village respond particularly well to professional cleaning when body oils and head grease have darkened the armrest and headrest areas.

We clean leather sofas using specialist leather cleaning and conditioning products appropriate to the leather type. Pigmented (protected) leather – the most common type on sofas from DFS, SCS, John Lewis and Furniture Village – is cleaned with a pH-balanced leather cleaner that removes body oils, ink marks, dye transfer from jeans and clothing, and general surface soiling. After cleaning, we apply a leather conditioner that restores moisture and suppleness to prevent cracking and premature ageing. Aniline and semi-aniline leather require gentler products and techniques which we also carry as standard.

Most fabric sofas are touch-dry within 2 to 4 hours and fully dry within 4 to 6 hours after cleaning. Drying time depends on the fabric type, cushion thickness and room ventilation. Microfibre and synthetic fabrics dry fastest. Thicker cotton and linen upholstery may take slightly longer. Velvet and chenille sofas cleaned with ultra-low-moisture techniques often dry within 1 to 2 hours. We place air movers where appropriate and recommend opening windows after cleaning to improve airflow. Leather sofas dry almost immediately after cleaning.

Yes. Professional sofa cleaning is one of the most effective ways to remove embedded pet hair, dander, urine stains and odours. We pre-vacuum the sofa thoroughly to remove loose hair and surface debris, then apply specialist enzymatic solutions from Prochem Europe that break down urine crystals and neutralise odour at a molecular level before extraction. For sofas that dogs or cats regularly lie on, the difference in both appearance and smell is dramatic. All of our cleaning solutions are completely safe for pets.

Yes. Body oil and head grease build-up is the single most common reason people book professional sofa cleaning. These oily deposits accumulate on armrests, headrest areas and seat cushion fronts over time, attracting and binding dirt into the fabric to create progressively darker contact areas that household cleaning products cannot shift. Our alkaline-based pre-treatment solutions from Prochem Europe are specifically formulated to emulsify and dissolve these oily residues before extraction. In most cases, the transformation is dramatic and immediately visible – particularly on light-coloured cotton, linen and microfibre sofas.

Yes. All of our cleaning solutions are non-toxic, biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals. They are completely safe for babies, young children, dogs, cats and other household pets, as well as people with allergies or asthma. Professional sofa cleaning actually improves indoor air quality by removing dust mites, pet dander, bacteria, dead skin cells and allergens that accumulate deep in cushion fabric and foam over time. Children and pets can use the sofa again as soon as it is touch-dry, which is typically within 2 to 4 hours.

Corner sofas are priced per seat section at £24 per seat. A typical 5-seat L-shaped corner sofa would cost from approximately £120. A large U-shaped sectional with 7 or 8 seat sections would cost from approximately £168 to £192. We count each distinct seating position as one seat – the chaise section, corner module, and each individual seat cushion position.

For most households, professional sofa cleaning every 12 to 18 months keeps the fabric in good condition and extends the sofa’s lifespan significantly. Homes with children, pets, allergy sufferers or heavy daily use benefit from cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Light-coloured sofas – cream, beige, white and pastel shades – often need more frequent attention because body oil soiling becomes visible faster. Regular professional cleaning removes embedded contaminants that contribute to fabric degradation, odour build-up and allergic reactions over time.

Yes, where the sofa design allows it. Removable seat cushions and back cushions are taken off to clean both the cushion surfaces and the sofa frame beneath – an area where crumbs, pet hair, dust and debris accumulate heavily. Fixed-back and fixed-seat sofas are cleaned in place using our upholstery hand tool which reaches into seams, crevices and between cushion sections. We clean the full sofa including the sides, base fabric, arms and back – not just the visible seat and cushion areas.
