What affects the price
- Job size and scope — bigger or more complex jobs move you up the ranges above.
- Access and condition — hard-to-reach areas, older properties or neglected maintenance add labour time.
- Materials and quality level — where materials are involved, the grade you choose often matters more than labour.
- Urgency — same-day or out-of-hours work usually carries a premium.
- Where you live — large metros in Cyprus typically run above the national range; smaller towns below it.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a sofa take to dry after cleaning?
Hot water extraction leaves fabric damp for 4-8 hours; low-moisture methods dry in 1-2 hours. Good airflow, fans, or air conditioning speed it up. Avoid sitting on the sofa until fully dry to prevent re-soiling and watermarks.
Should I get stain protection applied after cleaning?
Fabric protector (fluoropolymer-based) applied to a freshly cleaned sofa buys you time to blot spills before they absorb. It is worthwhile on light-coloured family sofas; skip it on rarely used or dark pieces. It wears off and needs reapplying after each deep clean.
Is upholstery cleaning safe for leather sofas?
Leather needs a different process — pH-balanced leather cleaners and conditioners, never hot water extraction. Many fabric-sofa cleaners also offer leather care, but confirm they carry proper leather products and have done aniline vs protected leather before.
What cleaning method is used on sofas?
Most professionals use hot water extraction ('steam cleaning') for synthetic fabrics, and low-moisture or dry solvent cleaning for delicate or water-sensitive fabrics. The right method follows the fabric care code: W (water-based), S (solvent), WS (either), X (vacuum only).
Does upholstery cleaning help with allergies and dust mites?
Yes — hot water extraction removes dust mites, dander, and allergen load from fabric and mattresses, and is one of the more effective interventions for allergy sufferers alongside HEPA vacuuming and washable covers.
Does Cyprus dust mean more frequent sofa cleaning?
Yes — Saharan dust events and open-window living load fabric with fine dust that vacuuming only partly removes. An annual professional extraction keeps light-coloured fabric from greying; twice a year if you live near unpaved areas.
