What Our Upholstery Cleaning Service Includes
Our upholstery cleaning is a detailed process designed to clean deeply while protecting fibres, colours and structure. We tailor methods to each item and fabric type.
Typical items we clean
- Sofas and settees (fabric and many types of mixed-fibre upholstery)
- Armchairs and accent chairs
- Dining chairs and bar stools
- Footstools and ottomans
- Fabric headboards and bed bases (where suitable)
- Loose cushion covers (if label and construction allow)
- Office chairs and reception seating
Items usually excluded
To protect you and your furnishings, some items are normally excluded or only cleaned under specific conditions:
- Unstable or heavily faded fabrics with no care labels
- Silk, viscose and certain delicate velvets (subject to inspection)
- Severely worn or torn upholstery that may not withstand cleaning
- Leather suites (we can often recommend a leather specialist)
- Antique or museum-grade pieces without prior written approval
If you are unsure, just send us a photo during your enquiry and we will advise honestly on what is and is not safe to clean.

We are a local, owner-operated company based near Leaves Green, working day in, day out on homes and business premises across BR2 and surrounding areas. Being local means we are flexible with appointment times, can often help at short notice, and genuinely understand the types of properties and furnishings common in the area.

Who Our Upholstery Cleaning Service Is For

- Renters – refreshing landlord furniture or your own pieces, especially before checkout inspections.
- Landlords and letting agents – restoring upholstered items between tenancies and helping protect your investment.
- Businesses – reception seating, meeting room chairs, waiting room suites and staff break-out area furniture.
- Students – shared house sofas and chairs tidied up for move-in or move-out, often as part of wider cleaning.
How Our Upholstery Cleaning Process Works
We use a clear, step-by-step process so you know exactly what to expect.
1. Enquiry & quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with details of your upholstery: type of items, approximate sizes, fabric if known, and any specific stains or concerns. Photos are very helpful and can usually be sent by message or email. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation, outlining what is included, any limitations, and an estimated drying time.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For most standard items, a virtual survey using your photos is enough. For larger jobs, delicate fabrics or commercial premises, we may recommend an onsite survey. During the survey we:
- Identify fabric type and construction where possible
- Check for prior damage, loose seams or colour instability
- Discuss any odours, pet issues or heavy soiling areas
- Confirm access, parking and any special requirements
This ensures we select the safest and most effective cleaning method.
3. Preparation
On the day, we arrive on time, talk through the work, and protect surrounding areas as needed. Preparation usually includes:
- Moving light furniture where necessary and practical
- Placing protective covers and corner guards
- Vacuuming upholstery thoroughly to remove dry soil
- Testing fabrics for colourfastness and shrinkage risk
- Applying targeted pre-treatment to stains and high-use areas
4. Cleaning and finishing
We then carry out the main clean, usually using hot water extraction or low-moisture techniques depending on the fabric. This is followed by:
- Careful rinsing to remove residues
- Grooming of the pile where appropriate
- Positioning of fans to assist drying, if required
- Final inspection with you and aftercare advice
Transparent Upholstery Cleaning Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Upholstery cleaning costs are based mainly on:
- Type and size of each item (e.g. 2-seater, 3-seater, corner sofa)
- Fabric type and complexity
- Level of soiling and staining
- Access and parking requirements
Your quote will state the price per item or per job, any optional extras (such as fabric protection), and what is included in the visit. There are no hidden charges for standard work: if we believe something may require additional time or specialist treatment, we will always discuss this before proceeding.
Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Beats DIY
DIY spot cleaners and hire machines can seem tempting, but they often leave detergents behind, overwet the fabric or push stains deeper. As professional upholstery cleaners, we:
- Use tested solutions matched to fabric type and soiling
- Control moisture to reduce the risk of shrinkage and browning
- Extract far more soil and residues than domestic machines
- Identify issues such as dye bleed or weak seams before problems occur
- Help extend the life of your upholstery rather than just masking odours
Done correctly, professional cleaning is a maintenance step that supports the look, feel and hygiene of your furnishings over many years.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture is in safe hands with Leaves Green Carpet Cleaners. We carry:
- Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
- Goods in transit insurance for any items we may need to transport
Every technician is trained in fibre identification, stain treatment and correct use of equipment, and we work to recognised industry guidelines. Risk assessments are carried out where appropriate, and we document pre-existing damage so there are no surprises. Our aim is to provide a calm, careful service with minimal disruption to your home or business.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat each item of upholstery as if it were our own. That means making sensible decisions about what is safe to clean, protecting your floors and surroundings, and taking the time to ventilate and position items to dry as evenly as possible.
Where we can, we select cleaning products that are effective yet considerate of indoor air quality and the wider environment. By restoring and maintaining upholstery rather than replacing it prematurely, you are also reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with manufacturing and disposal of furniture.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does upholstery cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the size and type of each item, along with the level of soiling. As a guide, standard dining chairs usually cost less than sofas, and large corner suites are priced according to the number of seating sections. We will ask a few questions, often request photos, and then provide a clear written quote before you book. There are no hidden extras for normal soiling. If specialist stain work or fabric protection is recommended, we will always discuss this separately.
Can you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with urgent or short-notice bookings in Leaves Green, especially for fresh spills or accidents that are time-sensitive. Same-day appointments are not always possible, but we can often attend within 24–48 hours. If we cannot fit you in, we will still provide guidance on what to do – and what to avoid – until we arrive. The sooner you contact us after a spill, the better the chances of achieving a good result.
Are you insured if something goes wrong?
Yes. We hold public liability cover for work carried out in your property, as well as goods in transit insurance for any items we might need to move offsite. This gives you reassurance that, in the unlikely event of an incident, the appropriate cover is in place. More importantly, we work carefully: we test fabrics before cleaning, explain any risks we identify, and will never proceed with a process we believe could reasonably damage your upholstery.
What is included in an upholstery cleaning service?
Our upholstery cleaning service includes initial assessment, vacuuming, pre-treatment of stains and heavy-use areas, the main clean using a method suited to the fabric, and a final rinse or buff to remove residues. We also reposition items, assist drying where practical, and walk you through the results at the end. Any limitations or areas that cannot be safely treated are discussed beforehand. Optional extras, such as fabric protection treatments, are available on request and clearly itemised on your quotation.
How far in advance should I book?
To secure your preferred date and time, especially for larger jobs or commercial work, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance. That said, we keep some flexibility in our diary and can often fit smaller domestic jobs in sooner, particularly in Leaves Green and nearby areas. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a tenancy checkout or event, please let us know when you enquire so we can prioritise suitable slots or suggest alternative options.
How long will my upholstery take to dry?
Drying times depend on fabric type, level of soiling, cleaning method and room conditions. As a general rule, many items are touch-dry within a few hours and fully dry within 6–12 hours. We use controlled moisture levels and, where needed, air movers to encourage faster drying. You can help by keeping the room warm and well ventilated. We will always give you specific guidance at the end of the job so you know when it is safe to use the furniture again.
