Yes. Velvet upholstery – including crushed velvet, plush velvet and performance velvet – requires careful handling to avoid water marking, pile crush and permanent nap distortion. We use low-moisture cleaning techniques with fabric-safe solutions from Prochem Europe, working in the direction of the pile to prevent flattening. After cleaning, we groom the velvet nap to restore its original texture and sheen. We always test an inconspicuous area first to confirm the fabric responds safely to the selected cleaning method.

We clean all common upholstery fabrics including cotton, linen, polyester, polypropylene, microfibre, velvet, crushed velvet, chenille, wool blends, acrylic, viscose and performance fabrics such as Aquaclean and Crypton. We also clean leather and faux leather upholstery. Each fabric receives a tailored cleaning approach based on the manufacturer’s cleaning code (W, S, WS or X) and our own fabric assessment. If you are unsure what fabric your furniture is, we identify it during our pre-inspection.

Most upholstery is touch-dry within 2 to 4 hours and fully dry within 4 to 6 hours. Drying time depends on fabric type, cushion thickness, stuffing material and room ventilation. Microfibre and synthetic fabrics dry fastest, while thicker cotton and linen upholstery may take slightly longer. We place air movers where appropriate and recommend good ventilation after cleaning to speed up drying. Delicate fabrics cleaned with ultra-low-moisture techniques dry much faster – typically within 1 to 2 hours.

Yes. Professional upholstery cleaning is one of the most effective ways to remove embedded pet hair, dander, urine stains and odours from sofas and armchairs. We pre-vacuum the furniture to remove loose hair and debris, then apply specialist enzymatic solutions from Prochem Europe that break down urine crystals and neutralise odour at a molecular level before extraction. For heavily soiled pet furniture, this process makes a dramatic difference to both the appearance and the smell. Our solutions are completely safe for dogs, cats and other household pets.

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 upholstery cleaning actually improves indoor air quality by removing dust mites, pet dander, bacteria, dead skin cells and allergens that accumulate in furniture fabric over time. Children and pets can use the furniture again as soon as it is touch-dry.

Yes. We clean pigmented (protected), aniline and semi-aniline leather upholstery using specialist leather cleaning and conditioning products. Leather cleaning removes body oils, ink marks, dye transfer from clothing and general soiling, while conditioning restores moisture and suppleness to prevent cracking and premature ageing. We assess the type of leather finish before selecting the appropriate product and method. Faux leather and bonded leather furniture can also be cleaned professionally.

For most households, professional upholstery cleaning every 12 to 18 months keeps furniture in good condition and extends its lifespan. Homes with children, pets, allergy sufferers or heavy daily use benefit from cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Light-coloured upholstery and fabrics that show soiling easily – cream, beige, white and pastel shades – often need more frequent attention. Regular professional cleaning removes embedded contaminants that contribute to fabric degradation, odour build-up and allergic reactions over time.

Yes. Upholstery cleaning can be added to any end of tenancy cleaning booking at the standard per-piece rates. We provide deposit-back standard cleaning for tenants, landlords and letting agents across Greater Manchester. Every job includes before-and-after photo documentation and a professional receipt. We work regularly alongside Manchester’s leading agencies including Thornley Groves, Bridgfords, Julie Twist Properties, Reeds Rains, Ryder and Dutton and Ascend Properties.

Yes. Body oil and head grease are the most common causes of darkened armrests, headrests and seat areas on sofas and armchairs. These oily deposits attract and bind dirt into the fabric over time, creating progressively darker contact areas that are impossible to remove with household cleaning products alone. 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 difference is dramatic and immediately visible.
