Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, and other upholstered furniture are used every day. Over time, they accumulate various contaminants within the fabric. Regular vacuuming helps remove surface dirt, but it cannot always reach the build-up that settles deep inside the upholstery fibres.
At MrCarpetSolutions, we provide professional upholstery cleaning services tailored to your furniture’s fabric type, condition, and cleaning needs
Upholstery cleaning removes dirt, stains, odours, dust, and allergens from sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, cushions, and other soft furnishings. Over time, furniture collects body oils, pet hair, food spills, and everyday grime. This can make fabrics look dull, feel less fresh, and affect the cleanliness of your living space.
A professional upholstery clean gives deeper results than vacuuming alone. At Mr Carpet Solutions, we use appropriate cleaning equipment and safe cleaning methods tailored to each item’s fabric type, condition, and level of soiling. This helps revive the appearance of your upholstery, restore freshness, and support a more hygienic living space.
Regular upholstery maintenance can also extend the life of your furniture. It keeps fibres cleaner, reduces abrasive dirt build-up, and helps prevent everyday soil from wearing down the fabric over time.
Different upholstery materials react differently to moisture, cleaning products, and stain treatments.
Fabric upholstery cleaning is suitable for many sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, cushions, and other soft furnishings. It helps remove dirt, dust, allergens, body oils, and everyday grime trapped inside the fibres.
The process usually starts with vacuuming and pre-treatment. Stains and heavily used areas are treated first to help loosen marks, oils, and built-up soil. The cleaner then selects the most suitable deep cleaning method based on the fabric type, condition, and cleaning label.
Professional sofa cleaning services can make fabric furniture look brighter, feel cleaner, and smell fresher. They are especially useful for homes with children, pets, or furniture that gets heavy daily use.
Leather upholstery requires a different approach than fabric cleaning. Leather can dry out, crack, or lose its finish if harsh products are used.
Cleaning leather furniture usually involves gentle cleaning, soil removal, and conditioning. This helps protect the surface and keep the leather soft.
A professional cleaner will first check the leather type. Finished leather, aniline leather, and older leather pieces all need different care.
Delicate and antique furniture requires careful cleaning. Older furniture may have fragile fabric, weak stitching, sensitive dyes, or traditional fillings.
Antique furniture cleaning should always start with a detailed inspection. The cleaner may use low-moisture or dry-cleaning methods to reduce the risk.
This is especially important for valuable, sentimental, or handmade furniture. A gentle process can clean the surface while helping protect the structure.
Before cleaning, local upholstery specialists should test the material and choose the safest method. This provides a higher standard of cleaning results and reduces the risk of damage.
The right method can remove everyday dirt, improve freshness, and support long-term furniture care.
Hot water extraction cleaning is a deep cleaning method for many fabric sofas and chairs. It uses warm water, cleaning solution, and strong suction to loosen and remove dirt from the fibres.
This method is useful for heavily used furniture, sofa stain removal, odours, and general grime. It can clean deeper than surface sprays or home machines.
The furniture must not be over-wet. Professional cleaning cleaners control the moisture and use proper extraction to help the upholstery dry safely.
Dry upholstery cleaning uses specialist cleaning compounds and minimal moisture to clean delicate fabrics safely. The products loosen dirt, absorb oils, and lift contamination from the upholstery fibres without saturating the material with water.
This method is suitable for delicate fabrics, moisture-sensitive materials, and furniture that needs a faster return to use. It reduces drying times while still helping remove dirt, odours, and everyday build-up.
We will assess the upholstery material, condition, and level of soiling before choosing the safest and most effective cleaning method. This ensures your furniture receives the right treatment while helping preserve its appearance and long-term condition.
Upholstery cleaning services cover different furniture items around the home or workplace. Each piece needs the right method based on its fabric, shape, use, and level of soiling.
Professional sofa cleaning services help remove this build-up from the fabric, leaving the sofa cleaner and fresher. The cleaner checks the material first, then chooses the safest method. Fabric sofas may require hot water extraction or dry cleaning, while delicate materials may require a gentler approach.
Armchairs often show marks on the arms, headrest, and seat area. These are common contact points where oils, dust, and everyday dirt build up. Professional armchair cleaning targets these areas without overwetting the fabric. It helps improve the look, smell, and comfort of the chair.
A professional ottoman cleaning helps lift surface dirt and refresh the fabric. The method depends on whether the ottoman is made from fabric, velvet, leather, or another material.
Chair cleaning services are useful for dining chairs, office chairs, bedroom chairs, and waiting room seating. These items often collect food marks, dust, sweat, and general wear. Regular professional cleaning helps keep chairs presentable and hygienic. It is especially useful for homes, offices, rental properties, and commercial spaces.
DIY upholstery cleaning can help with light surface care, but it has limits. Many home products are too wet, too harsh, or unsuitable for certain fabrics.
Professional upholstery cleaning is safer and more thorough. Local cleaning services, such as Mr Carpet Solutions, use the right products, equipment, and methods for each item.
This is useful for domestic furniture and commercial upholstery cleaning in offices, hotels, rentals, and shared spaces.

The time required for professional upholstery cleaning depends on several factors, including the size of the furniture, the fabric type, the level of soiling, and the cleaning method used.
Heavily stained upholstery or delicate fabrics may require additional cleaning time compared to routine maintenance cleaning.
As a general guide:
Proper drying is an important part of the upholstery cleaning process because excessive moisture can affect certain fabrics and increase the risk of lingering odours. Our technicians use professional equipment and controlled cleaning techniques to help upholstery dry efficiently while preserving the fabric’s condition.
We always aim to minimise disruption while delivering high-quality cleaning results and long-lasting freshness.
The cost of professional upholstery cleaning depends on the furniture size, fabric type, level of soiling, and any additional treatments required. Some furniture only needs routine maintenance and cleaning. Other items may need specialist stain removal, odour treatment, or fabric protection.
Our upholstery cleaning prices typically start from
The final price may vary if the furniture has heavy staining, delicate fabric, odours, pet contamination, or commercial upholstery cleaning requirements. Stain protection treatments may also affect the cost.
Before any work begins, we assess the condition of your furniture and recommend the most suitable cleaning method. This allows us to provide clear pricing with no hidden charges while ensuring your upholstery receives the right level of care.
Choosing a professional upholstery cleaning company involves more than comparing prices. Different upholstery fabrics need different cleaning methods. The wrong products or techniques can affect the appearance, texture, and lifespan of your furniture.
Experienced professionals assess the fabric type, condition, and level of soiling before choosing the most suitable cleaning process. This helps protect your upholstery while delivering safe and effective results.
When choosing an upholstery cleaning service, look for:
A reputable upholstery cleaning company should inspect your furniture, explain the recommended cleaning process, and give realistic expectations for stain removal and drying times.
Choosing a trusted local specialist helps protect your furniture, keeping it cleaner, fresher, and in better condition for longer.
Vacuum upholstery regularly to remove dust, crumbs, pet hair, and loose dirt. This helps keep the fabric fresher and reduces wear on the fibres.
Treat spills quickly. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth, avoiding rubbing. Rubbing can spread the stain and push it deeper into the fabric.
Keep sofas and chairs out of direct sunlight where possible. Direct sunlight can fade colours and weaken some fabrics over time.
Rotate cushions if they are removable. This helps reduce uneven wear and keeps the furniture looking better for longer.
For the best results, book professional upholstery cleaning when the fabric looks dull, smells stale, or has visible stains. Regular care helps freshen upholstery, protect the fibres, and extend furniture life.

While the upholstery on your furniture will not be completely dry after cleaning, it will not be truly wet either. The hot water extraction method we use falls into the low-moisture category because the water and cleaning solutions go across the surface and we extract them before they go too deep. This leaves the upholstery clean and free from bad odours and allergens.
Generally, it takes around eight to twelve hours for your upholstered furniture to dry completely. This means that you can safely use your furniture on the next day without having to worry about moisture. Some of the larger items could take several more hours to dry but even so, it will not take more than a day.
Yes. We have the cleaning equipment, tools, and products necessary to clean all types of natural and synthetic upholstery. The hot water extraction method we apply is suitable for wool, cotton, polyester, and mixed fabrics. Our experts will take into account the specific textile of your upholstery and clean it accordingly.
We will come to your place and bring all the necessary equipment and products we need to perform the upholstery cleaning work. Our fully trained staff will use the hot water extraction or steam cleaning method to clean your upholstery in-depth. They will force the water and cleaning solutions directly into the fibres of the upholstery, dislodging the dirt that accumulates there and extracting it out with a powerful vacuum that sucks the water out of the fabric and removes most of the moisture.
Many old stains can be significantly improved or fully removed, depending on the fabric type, stain type, and how long the stain has been present. Delicate materials may absorb spills quickly, making some marks harder to treat.
Our professional upholstery cleaning technicians use safe, effective stain-removal methods to achieve the best possible results without damaging the fabric.
Most upholstery should be professionally cleaned every 12–18 months to maintain hygiene, remove allergens, and keep the fabric looking fresh.
Homes with children, pets, or heavy daily use may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Regular cleaning helps prevent dirt, stains, and body oils from building up inside the upholstery fibres.
We value our clients and are passionate about every aspect of our profession.
