Our Process
How We Clean Your Furniture
- 1
Tell us about your piece
Furniture type, size, seat count, condition — pet hair or odor, stains, and (if possible) a photo. We give you a preliminary price on the spot.
- 2
Book your visit
Same-day appointments available when our schedule allows.
- 3
On-site inspection
We confirm the final price in person before any work begins — it matches our quote in the vast majority of cases.
- 4
Dust & pre-treat
We vacuum the fabric with a professional brush attachment, then apply a professional pre-spray formulated to break down dirt and bacteria. Visible stains get individual pre-treatment when needed.
- 5
Clean — matched to your fabric
Durable fabrics are cleaned with hot water extraction; delicate and natural fabrics get low-moisture steam cleaning, so the fabric never gets over-wet.
- 6
Neutralize & rinse
A professional rinse neutralizes any remaining product, leaving fabric safe for kids and pets.
- 7
Dry
Furniture is typically dry within 6 hours, depending on humidity and airflow in the room. Faster drying available — starting at $30.
Add-on
Fabric Protectant
Right after your cleaning, we can apply a professional fabric protectant that repels water and dirt — keeping your furniture cleaner for longer and making future spills easier to wipe away. Lasts up to 6 months.
Equipment & Products
Pro Equipment, Safe Chemistry
We clean with a Mytee 8070 professional extractor, built for deep, thorough fabric cleaning, and a Ryobi brush for agitating set-in stains. Our chemicals are professional-grade Chemspec products, safe for children and pets, and every job ends with a neutralizing rinse.
Stains & Odors
Stains & Odors We Handle
We treat food, wine, ink, cosmetics, urine, and vomit stains. Most stains lift close to completely — we don't promise 100% removal on every stain, but we get there in the large majority of cases.
Pet stain & odor removal and pet hair removal are available as add-ons to any upholstery cleaning visit.

FAQ
Upholstery Cleaning FAQ
How long does the cleaning process take?
A 2–3 seat sofa typically takes 1–1.5 hours; sectionals can take up to 3 hours. Armchairs take 30 minutes to an hour.
How long does it take to dry?
Most furniture is dry within about 6 hours, depending on your home's humidity and airflow. Need it faster? Our fast-drying add-on (from $30) speeds that up.
Do you offer faster drying?
Yes — starting at $30, using targeted airflow to cut drying time.
Is this safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use professional-grade products and finish every job with a neutralizing rinse that leaves fabric safe for children and animals.
Can you remove pet urine and pet accident stains from upholstery?
Yes. Pet urine on upholstery needs a different approach than a surface stain — the accident soaks past the fabric into the cushion foam and padding underneath, so simply cleaning the top layer won't fully remove the odor or bacteria. We use enzyme-based treatments that break down the uric acid crystals at the source, then follow every job with a neutralizing rinse using our professional Chemspec products, safe for kids and pets. For older or heavily soaked accidents, we may recommend a deeper extraction pass to reach padding that surface cleaning can't touch. If the odor has fully set into the foam over a long period, we'll let you know honestly whether full removal is realistic before we start — we don't want to charge for a result we can't guarantee.
What kinds of stains can you treat on upholstery?
We treat most common upholstery stains, including coffee, wine, food, ink, makeup, grease, and general dirt and body-oil buildup on high-use areas like armrests and headrests. Every stain gets identified before treatment — the right approach for a protein-based stain (like blood or food) is different from an oil-based one (like grease or makeup), and using the wrong method can actually set a stain deeper into the fabric. That's part of why DIY stain removers often make things worse: they're one-size-fits-all, while we match the treatment to the stain type and your fabric. Because every fabric reacts differently to cleaning agents, we always test in an inconspicuous area first, then finish with a neutralizing rinse so no product residue is left behind. Some deep-set or old stains may lighten significantly rather than disappear completely — we'll always give you an honest assessment of what to expect before we start.
What products do you use, and are they safe for my fabric?
We use professional Chemspec cleaning products, matched to your fabric: hot water extraction for durable fabrics, gentle low-moisture steam for delicate and natural ones — so the cleaning method fits the material, not the other way around.
How often should I get my furniture professionally cleaned?
We recommend professional upholstery cleaning about every 6 months to keep fabric looking and smelling its best.
How much does upholstery cleaning cost?
Pricing starts at $20 for a dining chair up to $150+ for sectional sofas, with a $150 minimum service call. Get a free, no-obligation quote for your exact piece.
What's the difference between DIY and professional upholstery cleaning?
A rented or store-bought extractor and household cleaning products can't match professional results — and can actually make things worse. Without the right chemistry and process for your specific fabric, dirt can set in deeper instead of lifting out. If that happens, a professional job afterward often costs more, since we first have to remove what was applied before we can properly clean the fabric. Our process uses commercial-grade equipment, professional Chemspec products, and a proven step-by-step method built from real experience across many fabric types.
