Upholstery Cleaning in Queenstown Estate

Usually per piece or per seat: an armchair costs less than a 3-seater sofa, and sectionals/L-shapes are priced by the number of seats. Mattresses are priced by size. Heavily soiled fabric, pet treatment, and stain protection are common add-ons.

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.

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.

Fresh water-based stains usually come out; old set-in stains, dye transfer (e.g. jeans), ink, and bleach spots are often permanent. An honest cleaner will inspect first and tell you what will lighten versus disappear — be wary of anyone guaranteeing full removal sight unseen.

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.

Without aircon, damp fabric can stay wet for a day and risk mildew smell. Run the aircon in dry mode or a dehumidifier plus fan — that brings drying to 3-5 hours. Book cleaning in the morning so it dries before night.
