Frequently Asked Questions
We start with a quick assessment of your sofa, armchairs, or headboard - checking fabric type, condition, and any stains. Next, our DBS-checked cleaners protect floors and surrounding areas, then pre-treat spots with fabric-safe solutions. The main clean is done using professional extraction methods to lift dirt from deep in the upholstery fibres, not just the surface.
Before we finish, we do a final inspection, take photos where appropriate, and advise on drying and aftercare so your items look fresher for longer. Our tracked track record and five-star feedback mean you can expect careful, tidy work across W1W.
Different upholstery needs different care. We can usually clean cotton blends, polyester, velour, microfibre, and many types of performance fabrics, and we'll treat delicate materials with extra caution. Before any wet cleaning, we test a small hidden area to confirm colour stability and fabric reaction.
Where needed, we use low-moisture techniques or targeted spot cleaning first. For heavily soiled areas - like armrests and seams - we focus on agitation and extraction to remove embedded grime without over-wetting. That way, you get a proper deep clean while reducing the risk of shrinkage, colour bleed, or lingering odours.
If you've got a vintage piece, we'll discuss the safest plan based on the fabric and how it's been previously cleaned.
Our upholstery cleaning uses professional extraction equipment designed to lift soil from within the fabric, plus specialist upholstery tools for seams, piping, and buttoned areas. We combine pre-treatment for stains and general traffic marks with controlled cleaning so dirt is loosened and then removed.
For areas like Fitzrovia's busy streets and shared-living spaces, we pay extra attention to high-touch zones - arms, backrests, and corners where dust builds up. During the process, we also use gentle agitation to help break down grime without damaging fibres.
After cleaning, we focus on proper drying and airflow guidance so your upholstery feels fresh, rather than damp.
Yes. We use fully insured, trained cleaners who follow strict hygiene and health & safety practices. Our staff are DBS-checked, so you can feel confident when we enter your home or office.
Training is built around fabric-safe cleaning, stain handling, and proper equipment use - because upholstery damage usually happens when the wrong method is applied. That's why we assess first, test where needed, then clean with a method matched to your material.
We also keep records of work where appropriate and ensure the process is tidy - protected areas, careful handling of cushions, and clear communication on timing. If you need a quote for a specific job, you can book your cleaner today.
Timing depends on the number of items, fabric type, and how soiled the upholstery is. For most sofa and chair jobs in Fitzrovia, the cleaning visit typically takes a few hours, with drying influenced by airflow and humidity.
We'll give you realistic guidance on when you can sit down again. In general, you should plan for a period of drying before heavy use. During busy days around places like Oxford Street and Great Portland Street, we'll work efficiently while keeping everything tidy.
To help speed things up, we advise simple aftercare such as keeping windows slightly open, avoiding direct heat that could affect fabric, and allowing cushions to dry evenly.
Absolutely. If you're working to an inventory check or a tight move-out date, we can help with end of tenancy upholstery cleaning alongside your other needs like carpet cleaning and after builders cleaning prep. We focus on lifting general wear, odours, and common marks so the furniture looks properly presented for viewing.
We'll confirm what's included during the booking - how many items, the types of upholstery, and any known staining. Then we plan a schedule that fits your deadline, taking care to protect floors and surrounding areas.
If you're moving out of a property near areas like Tottenham Court Road or around Regent's Canal, let us know. We'll tailor the cleaning approach for the fabric and the condition, so you're not rushing and guessing.
Many stubborn stains can be improved significantly, but results depend on how long the stain has been there and whether it's been previously treated. We start by inspecting the spot, then pre-treat using fabric-safe solutions designed for upholstery rather than harsh household chemicals.
For pet stains and odours, we focus on lifting residue from the fibres and seams. For oily marks like greasy hands or food residue, we use targeted methods that break down grime before extraction.
We also use controlled blotting and agitation rather than aggressive scrubbing that can push stains deeper. If you can, tell us what caused the stain and when it happened - this helps us choose the right treatment plan and manage expectations.
Yes. Eco rating: 89% of cleaning products and methods are eco-friendly and non-toxic. We aim to reduce harsh chemical use while still delivering a deep clean that removes embedded dirt.
In practice, that means we select solutions that are suitable for fabric and work with our professional extraction approach. We also avoid unnecessary saturation, which can help reduce waste and improve drying.
If you're cleaning for a home with children, pets, or allergy concerns, tell us upfront. We'll recommend the safest method for your fabric and provide aftercare tips to keep your upholstery fresh.
You can also ask about our disposal and waste routines so any rinse water and material handling is managed responsibly.
Yes. We understand office schedules, so we plan around access times and minimise disruption. If your upholstery is in a reception area, meeting room, or serviced office near Fitzrovia, we arrive prepared with protection for floors and careful equipment handling.
We'll discuss your preference on timing - whether you need after-hours cleaning or quieter periods. Our DBS-checked cleaners work efficiently, keep the workspace tidy, and focus on high-traffic areas first.
If you have more than one room, we can coordinate a clear sequence to reduce the amount of downtime. After the clean, we provide practical drying guidance so your furniture is ready for use when you need it.
Pricing usually depends on the number of items, the upholstery fabric, its condition, and how many stains require extra attention. Larger sofas, heavily soiled chairs, and pieces with lots of intricate detailing like piping or deep buttoning can take longer and may need extra treatment.
We'll always clarify what's included - such as pre-treatment, extraction, and inspection - before work starts. If you're unsure whether your sofa can be cleaned safely, we'll explain the best option after a quick assessment.
If the furniture is in a difficult-to-access location (for example, stairs or tight lifts), let us know so we can plan correctly. Transparent quotes and clear communication help you avoid surprises.
