- Armchairs & accent chairs
- Dining chairs – Seat pads and fully upholstered chairs

What Is Not Included
To keep expectations clear and protect your furniture, the following are usually excluded from our standard upholstery cleaning service:
- Non-colourfast fabrics that are likely to bleed or shrink after testing
- Unstable or heavily damaged items where cleaning could cause further deterioration
- Suede, nubuck and some specialist leathers (we can advise alternatives)
- Mattresses (available as a separate service on request)
- Stain removal for substances that permanently damage fibres or dyes (e.g. certain bleaches, hair dyes)
If we believe an item cannot be safely cleaned, we will explain why on site before proceeding.
Our Step-by-Step Upholstery Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will usually ask for:
- Type and number of items (e.g. 3-seater sofa + 2 armchairs)
- Fabric type if known (e.g. cotton, synthetic mix, velvet)
- Photos of the items and any specific stains
From there, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote with no hidden extras. If anything is uncertain, we will explain this before confirming the price.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most domestic jobs, a virtual survey via photos or video call is sufficient. For larger properties or commercial spaces, we may arrange an onsite visit. During the survey we:
- Identify the fabric type and construction
- Check for wear, loose seams, sun damage or previous staining
- Discuss any concerns such as odours, pet hair or allergy needs
This allows us to confirm the most suitable cleaning method and final price before booking you in.
3. Preparation on the Day
On arrival, our professional technicians will:
- Walk through the job with you and reconfirm the work agreed
- Carry out colour‑fast and fibre tests where required
- Move light items around the furniture as needed (space permitting)
- Lay down protective sheets to safeguard floors and nearby furnishings
We then proceed with:
- Dry vacuuming to remove loose dust, grit and pet hair
- Spot and stain treatment using suitable solutions
- Main clean using hot water extraction or low‑moisture method
- Final grooming of the fabric to restore a neat finish
Transparent Upholstery Cleaning Prices
We keep our pricing straightforward and fair. Charges are normally based on:
- Type and size of each item (e.g. armchair vs corner sofa)
- Condition and level of soiling
- Access and parking requirements in Putney
We always confirm the price before any work begins. If, on arrival, we find the job is significantly different to what was described (for example, extra items not mentioned), we will discuss any change in cost with you first. There is no obligation to proceed if you are not comfortable with the revised price.
Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Beats DIY
Shop‑bought machines and products can seem convenient, but they often:
- Leave too much moisture behind, increasing the risk of odours or mould
- Use strong detergents that attract more dirt once dry
- Cannot properly rinse cleaning agents out of deeper fibres
- Fail to address embedded allergens, mites and fine dust
Our trained technicians use commercial‑grade equipment that delivers deeper cleaning and far better extraction. We understand how different fabrics respond to moisture, heat and agitation, reducing the risk of shrinkage, colour loss or watermarking that can occur with DIY attempts.
Insurance & Professional Standards You Can Rely On
Oven Cleaning Putney operates to well‑established professional standards. For your peace of mind, we are:
- Fully insured with public liability cover
- Protected by goods in transit insurance when equipment is moved to and from your property
- Staffed by trained, vetted technicians who receive ongoing skills development
We work respectfully in your home or workplace, use clearly marked vehicles and provide invoices or service reports where needed for landlords and business records.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to clean thoroughly while looking after both your furnishings and the wider environment:
- Use of high-efficiency machinery to minimise water and energy usage
- Selection of modern cleaning agents that are effective yet safer for typical family homes and pets
- Careful protection of surfaces, skirting and flooring around the items we clean
- Advice on simple maintenance to extend the life of your upholstery and reduce the need for replacement
Where possible, we recommend cleaning and maintaining existing furniture rather than disposing of it, helping to reduce waste and the environmental impact of frequent replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does upholstery cleaning in Putney cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and number of items, along with their condition. For example, a single armchair will cost less than a large corner sofa, and very heavily soiled or stained items may require additional work. Once we know what you need cleaned and see photos, we provide a fixed, itemised quote so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden charges for standard work, and we will always explain any optional extras before going ahead.
Can you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with urgent requests – particularly for fresh spills, pet accidents or time‑sensitive tenancy check‑outs. Same‑day or next‑day appointments in Putney are subject to availability, so it is always worth calling us as soon as the issue occurs. Even if we cannot attend immediately, we can often give practical advice over the phone on what to do – and what to avoid – until we arrive.
Are my furnishings covered by insurance while you work?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. Our technicians are trained to work carefully, and we always carry out checks and tests before starting. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong as a direct result of our work, we will follow a clear, documented process to put things right. We are happy to provide confirmation of insurance on request, which can be useful for landlords and commercial clients.
What exactly is included in your upholstery cleaning service?
Our standard service includes an initial assessment, dry vacuuming, pre‑treatment of spots and stains, and a full clean using an appropriate method for the fabric. We then carry out a rinse and extraction to remove soil and cleaning residues, followed by grooming or resetting the pile where needed. Light furniture moving, floor protection and basic deodorising are also covered. If you require additional treatments, such as specialist odour control or fabric protection, we can discuss these and price them separately.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, booking a week or two in advance is ideal, especially for weekends or larger jobs. However, we understand that life in Putney is busy, and plans can change quickly. We always keep some flexibility in our diary for shorter‑notice appointments, so it’s worth contacting us even if you need work done within a day or two. During peak moving periods, such as the end of the month, earlier booking is strongly recommended.
