Upholstered furniture picks up the same grime as a mattress: body oils on armrests, food on dining chairs and hair product on the back of a favourite seat. An upholstered bedhead collects marks right where heads rest every night. We book upholstery cleaning for New Farm homes with a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing on the phone.
Fabric type decides the method. Most upholstery has a cleaning code on a tag under the seat or on the back. W means water-based cleaning suits it, S means a solvent clean, and WS means either. Where there is no tag, the crew tests a small, out-of-sight spot before cleaning the whole piece. Velvet, linen and some natural blends shrink or mark easily, so they get a gentler approach.
- Fabric code checked and a spot test done where needed
- Vacuum pass along seams, piping and buttons
- Armrests and headrests pre-treated for body oils
- Hot water extraction or low-moisture clean to suit the fabric
- Upholstered bedheads cleaned in place against the wall
- Dining chair seats cleaned as a set
Upholstery usually dries within a few hours, though thick padded seats can take longer in humid weather. The crew stands loose cushions on their edges and opens windows where they can. Leather and vinyl pieces are not steam cleaned; if you have any, mention them when you book and we will tell you what the crew can offer.
Upholstery cleaning is often added to a mattress visit because the crew is already set up in the home. For a price on a few chairs, a bedhead or a full room of furniture, call 07 3543 2096 and we will book a crew that covers New Farm.
