How we clean upholstery
Fabric first, method second.
A cotton slipcover, a velvet headboard and a microfiber sectional need very different treatment. Too much water or the wrong product can leave rings, shrink fabric or flatten the pile. So every job starts with the fabric.
- Inspect: care label, fiber, condition, existing stains and wear.
- Test: on a hidden area, before the whole piece.
- Pre-treat: arm rests, seat edges and headrests, where body oils build up.
- Clean: with the method the fabric and its care label allow, then groom the pile.
- Drying and care: advice for your piece when we finish.
Read the label first
What the cleaning code on your sofa means.
Most upholstered furniture has a tag under the cushions or the frame with a cleaning code from the manufacturer. It tells you which kind of cleaning the fabric can take.
| Code | What the manufacturer allows |
|---|---|
| W | Water-based cleaning |
| S | Solvent-based cleaning only: no water |
| W/S or SW | Either water-based or solvent-based cleaning |
| X | Vacuuming or light brushing only: no water and no solvent |
The code is a starting point, not the whole answer. The fabric’s age, condition, earlier cleaning and any stains matter too. If there is no tag, we test a hidden spot. If a piece can’t be cleaned safely, we say so instead of guessing.
Fabrics we’re asked about most
Linen, cotton and blends can shrink, ring or lose color with too much water, so testing comes first. Velvet and bouclé need care with the pile and texture. Microfiber varies from sofa to sofa and can carry different codes, so we check the tag instead of assuming. Other specialty fabrics need their own assessment, and not every piece is a fit for cleaning in the home. We don’t clean leather furniture.
Drapes, cars and boats. We also clean drapes and curtains, and fabric seats and cushions in cars and boats. Suitability for each piece is confirmed at inspection.

Good to know
Pets, stains and drying.
Pets. Pet odor and stain treatment is an additional service. Many stains improve a lot, but older ones that have soaked into the cushion may not come out completely, and we tell you honestly what to expect before we start.
Drying. Drying time varies with the fabric, the cleaning method, the airflow in the room and other conditions, so we don’t promise a fixed time. We give you drying advice for your piece when we finish.

What customers say
“I highly recommend this company. Ron and Freddy were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They arrived on time, explained the process to me and cleaned up after themselves. They were amazing. If you're looking for a reliable company to clean your dryer vent, air ducts, carpets or upholstery, this is it.”
“Fredi and Eric were great! Very polite, did a great job of cleaning our couch. It looks brand new can’t believe they we were able to revitalize it but now I’m ready to sit down and watch some tv. Thank you guys!”
“Nick did a fabulous job cleaning my couch and area rug. He had to drag his heavy equipment up stairs in the heat and did it without complaint and with a smile. He was friendly and thorough and my couch and rug dried quickly and look great.”
Questions
Upholstery cleaning,
plainly answered.
How long until I can use the sofa?
Drying time varies with the fabric, the cleaning method, the airflow in the room and other conditions, so we don’t promise a fixed time. We give you drying advice for your piece when we finish.
Where do I find the cleaning code?
Usually on a tag under the seat cushions, under the frame or on the back of the sofa. A photo of the tag, or of the sofa if there is none, helps us give you an accurate estimate.
My sofa is coded X. Can you still clean it?
An X code means the manufacturer allows vacuuming or light brushing only. We’ll look at it and tell you honestly what we can and can’t do.
Can you clean velvet, linen or bouclé?
Yes, with testing first, because each reacts differently to moisture and agitation. We choose the method the fabric and its care label allow.
Do you clean microfiber? What about leather?
Microfiber, usually yes. It varies from sofa to sofa, so we check the cleaning code and test first. We don’t clean leather furniture.
Can you remove pet stains and odors?
Pet odor and stain treatment is an additional service. Recent stains often improve a lot; old stains that have soaked into the cushion foam may not disappear completely. We tell you honestly before we start.
Do you clean couches and sectionals at home?
Yes. Couches, sectionals and loveseats are cleaned in your home. Tell us the size and fabric when you book, or send a photo.
Do you clean dining chairs and headboards?
Yes: dining and accent chairs, headboards, ottomans, benches and cushions, along with sofas and sectionals.
How much does upholstery cleaning cost?
It depends on the size of the piece, the fabric and its condition. Estimates are free and the price is confirmed before any work begins. A photo helps us quote quickly.
