Fabric Upholstery Cleaning – FAQs
How long does upholstery take to dry?
With our low moisture upholstery cleaning system, most fabrics are dry within 30 minutes. Heavily soiled items or thicker fabrics may take slightly longer, but there’s no long damp drying period.
Is low moisture upholstery cleaning safe for delicate fabrics?
Yes. Each item is assessed and fabric tested before cleaning. Our method is suitable for many delicate fabrics such as velvet, linen and mixed fibres, helping reduce the risk of over-wetting.
Can you remove stains and odours?
We carry out targeted stain treatment where appropriate and can improve or remove many common stains and odours. Some marks, such as dye loss or long-set staining, may be permanent and will be explained in advance.
Is upholstery cleaning safe for pets and children?
Yes. We use professional products responsibly and our low moisture process means furniture can be used again quickly, making it suitable for family homes.
How should I prepare for upholstery cleaning?
Preparation is simple. Please remove any small personal items from the furniture, and if possible, clear access around the area to be cleaned. We’ll take care of moving lightweight items where safe. There’s no need to vacuum beforehand unless you’d like to.
How long does upholstery cleaning take?
Time depends on the size and number of items (for example, a sofa and chair versus a full suite) and the level of soiling. As a guide, most jobs take 1–3 hours. We’ll give a realistic estimate once we know what you’d like cleaned.
Is this suitable for rented properties and end-of-tenancy situations?
Yes. Low moisture upholstery cleaning is ideal for rented properties and short turnarounds because furniture dries quickly and is ready to use again sooner. We can focus on visible staining, odours and high-use areas where appropriate.
