What Our Upholstery Cleaning Service Includes
We clean a wide range of upholstered items, including:

- Armchairs and wingback chairs
- Recliners and footstools
- Dining chairs and bar stools
- Office and desk chairs
- Headboards and upholstered bed bases

What Is Not Included
To be transparent, there are some items and situations we normally exclude from standard upholstery cleaning:
- Unstable or badly damaged fabrics where cleaning could cause further deterioration
- Delicate leather, suede or nubuck – these often require a separate specialist service
- Mattresses – available as a separate mattress cleaning service if required
- Loose covers labelled dry-clean only – these should usually be taken to a dry cleaner
- Severe contamination such as bodily fluids or heavy mould, which may need specialist restoration
If you are unsure whether an item can be cleaned, we are happy to advise during the survey stage.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & No-Obligation Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few simple questions about:
- The type and number of items (e.g. 3-seater sofa, 2 dining chairs)
- Fabric type if known
- Any particular stains or odours
- Your location in {area} and access/parking
From this we provide a clear, itemised estimate. For straightforward jobs, we can usually confirm the price at this stage.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For more complex fabrics or larger jobs, we carry out a short survey. This may be:
- Virtual survey – via photos or video call, suitable for most domestic furniture
- Onsite survey – for commercial sites or where fabric type is uncertain
We inspect the fabric, construction, wear, and existing stains, then confirm the cleaning method and final price before any work begins.
3. Preparation on the Day
On arrival, our professional team will:
- Walk through the job with you and confirm the agreed work
- Move light items around the furniture where required
- Lay down protective sheeting to safeguard flooring
- Vacuum the upholstery to remove loose dust, grit and hair
- Apply suitable stain treatments to marks or heavily soiled areas
Once prepared, we carry out deep cleaning using hot water extraction, low-moisture cleaning, or a combination, depending on the fabric. We then remove as much moisture as possible and leave the items neatly in place to dry, advising on ventilation and approximate drying times.
Transparent Upholstery Cleaning Prices
We price upholstery cleaning by item and complexity, so you only pay for what you need. Factors that influence cost include:
- Size and type of furniture
- Fabric type and sensitivity
- Level of soiling and staining
- Access and parking in {area}
Before we start any work, you receive a clear, written or emailed price with no hidden extras. If we identify anything that could affect the quote during the survey, we always discuss it with you first. We also offer competitive rates for multiple items and regular commercial contracts.
Why Choose Professional Upholstery Cleaning Over DIY
Shop-bought sprays and home machines can seem tempting, but they often push dirt deeper into the fabric, leave residues behind and risk shrinkage or colour bleeding. Professional cleaning offers:
- Correct identification of fabric and the right cleaning method
- Use of professional, well-maintained equipment
- Stronger but fabric-safe detergents that rinse out cleanly
- Far better soil, allergen and odour removal
- Reduced risk of over-wetting and long-term damage
Most importantly, if your furniture is valuable or heavily used, a professional service helps extend its life and keeps it looking presentable for longer.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your furnishings seriously. Carpet Cleaners Surrey is:
- Fully insured for the work we undertake
- Covered by public liability insurance for peace of mind in your home or business
- Protected with goods in transit insurance when items need to be transported
- Staffed by trained, experienced cleaning technicians
We follow recognised industry guidance on fabric testing, stain treatment and safe use of chemicals. Risk assessments are carried out where appropriate, especially in commercial environments.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach in {area} focuses on thorough cleaning with care and minimal environmental impact:
- We use modern machines that reduce water and energy consumption.
- Cleaning agents are chosen for effectiveness and safety, with low-residue and eco-friendlier options where suitable.
- Furniture and surrounding areas are protected with clean coverings and corner protectors.
- We advise on simple maintenance – such as regular vacuuming and prompt spill treatment – to prolong results and reduce the need for frequent deep cleans.
Where possible, restoring existing furniture is more sustainable than replacing it, reducing waste and the environmental cost of new items.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does upholstery cleaning cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and type of each item, plus fabric and condition. For example, a single armchair in {area} will usually cost less than a large corner sofa that requires more time and solutions. We provide clear, itemised quotes before any work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras for standard stain treatments or protective coverings. For multiple items or regular commercial work, we can often offer reduced rates. Contact us with a list of your furniture for an accurate quotation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent appointments in {area}, especially for fresh spills or accidents where a quick response can make a big difference. Same-day or next-day visits are sometimes possible, particularly on weekdays. If we cannot attend immediately, we will advise you on safe first steps to prevent stains from setting until we arrive. For time-sensitive situations, such as before a checkout inspection or event, please call rather than email so we can check our diary and discuss options straight away.
Are my furnishings insured while you are cleaning them?
Yes. We are a fully insured company and take protection of your property very seriously. Our public liability cover protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage while we are working in your home or business. Where items need to be moved or transported, they are also covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance. In addition to insurance, our technicians are trained to carry out fabric tests, use the correct solutions and handle furniture carefully, which significantly reduces the chance of any issues in the first place.
What exactly is included in your upholstery cleaning service?
Our standard service includes pre-visit advice where needed, a brief survey on arrival, protection for surrounding flooring, and a thorough vacuum of the upholstery. We then apply targeted stain treatments, followed by deep cleaning using a method suited to the fabric, typically hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning. Afterwards, we extract as much moisture as possible to aid drying and tidy the area. Light furniture moving around the item is included. At the end, we provide drying guidance and basic aftercare tips so you know when the furniture will be ready to use again.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times in {area}, we recommend booking upholstery cleaning at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific day or have several items to be cleaned. During busy periods, such as spring and early autumn, our diary can fill more quickly. However, we keep some flexibility for smaller or urgent jobs and will always try to fit you in where possible. If you have a fixed deadline, for example an end of tenancy or event, it is sensible to contact us as soon as you know the date.
