What’s Included in Our Upholstery Cleaning

Our service covers a wide range of upholstered items, including:

What’s Not Included

To protect your items and ensure safe results, some things are excluded from standard upholstery cleaning:

• Heavily damaged or structurally unsound furniture where cleaning may cause further harm.
• Very delicate or non-colourfast fabrics that are not suitable for wet or standard solvent cleaning.
• Suede, nubuck and certain specialist leathers that require a separate leather care service.
• Mattresses (offered as a separate specialist service on request).
• Repairs, reupholstering or stain removal on fabrics that have already been damaged by DIY products.

Where we identify a risk, we will explain it clearly and advise alternatives before proceeding.

Our Step-by-Step Upholstery Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Cleaner Hampstead by phone, email or online form. We will ask for details such as the number and type of items, fabric where known, and any specific stains or issues. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. For larger or more complex jobs, we may suggest a short video call or photos to confirm the scope.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

Before cleaning, our technician carries out a fabric and condition survey. This can be done virtually (for simpler pieces) or onsite on the day. We test for colourfastness, check for wear, fading, loose seams and previous damage. This survey allows us to choose the safest cleaning products and method for your upholstery and to set realistic expectations about stain removal.

3. Preparation

We protect your home or workplace before we start. Our preparation typically includes:

• Placing protective sheets in work areas.
• Moving light furniture where necessary and practical.
• Vacuuming upholstery to remove surface dust and grit.
• Applying specialist pre-treatment to marks, spills and heavy-use areas.
• Carrying out the chosen professional cleaning method.

Once cleaning is complete, we assist with repositioning items and, where possible, improve air circulation to speed up drying.

How We Clean Your Upholstery

We use a combination of techniques, selected to suit the fabric and level of soiling:

• Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) – deep cleaning for many synthetic and some natural fabrics, removing embedded dirt, allergens and odours.
• Low-moisture cleaning – for more delicate fabrics where excessive moisture could cause shrinkage or colour bleed.
• Dry solvent cleaning – for specific textiles that cannot tolerate water-based methods.

All solutions we use are appropriate for indoor use and are chosen to be safe for families, pets and staff when used correctly.

Transparent Upholstery Cleaning Pricing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Upholstery cleaning is usually charged per item, based on size, fabric type and condition. For example, a standard two-seater sofa will be priced differently to a large corner unit or a set of dining chairs.

Your quote will outline:

• Which items are included.
• The cleaning method we plan to use.
• Any additional treatments agreed, such as stain protection.

There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for heavily soiled items or unusual fabrics) are discussed and agreed before we begin.

Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Beats DIY

Shop-bought machines and sprays can seem convenient, but they often leave too much moisture or residue behind, leading to re-soiling, water marks or even shrinkage. As professional cleaners, we understand how different fibres react to water, heat and chemicals, and we adjust our approach accordingly.

We use high-performance equipment that extracts far more dirt and moisture than domestic machines, reducing drying times and helping prevent odours or mould. Professional cleaning also helps preserve fabric texture and colour, extending the usable life of your furniture and avoiding costly replacement.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Cleaner Hampstead operates with full coverage to give you peace of mind:

• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we work on site.
• Goods in transit insurance – where items are transported or moved as part of a wider service.
• Trained teams – every technician is professionally trained in upholstery cleaning methods, stain treatment and fabric care.

We follow recognised industry best practice, use commercial-grade equipment, and keep detailed records of products used on each job for traceability.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Practice

We treat every item of upholstery as if it were our own. That means careful inspection, appropriate cleaning methods and thorough protection of your surrounding floors and furniture. We avoid harsh products wherever a gentler option will achieve the same result, and we use measured dosing to minimise waste.

Our team aims to reduce environmental impact by:

• Using concentrated, professional solutions to cut down on packaging.
• Maintaining machines for maximum efficiency and reduced energy use.
• Extending the life of your furnishings, helping to avoid premature disposal.

The goal is simple: cleaner, fresher upholstery with as light a footprint as is reasonably possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does upholstery cleaning cost in Hampstead?

Pricing depends mainly on the type, size and condition of each item. For example, a small armchair typically costs less than a large corner sofa, and light maintenance cleaning is cheaper than heavily stained or pet-soiled upholstery. We usually quote per item after asking a few questions or reviewing photos. This keeps costs fair and transparent. Contact us with a list of your furniture and we will provide a clear estimate before any work is booked in.

Can you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Hampstead, especially for spills that need quick attention. Availability depends on existing commitments and the size of the job, so it is always worth calling to check. Even if we cannot attend the same day, we can often advise immediate steps to reduce staining until a technician can visit. For the best choice of time slots, early booking is recommended.

Are you insured while cleaning my upholstery?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover, which protects you and your property while we are working in your home or business. Where items are transported or moved as part of a broader service, we also have goods in transit insurance. Our technicians are fully trained and follow clear procedures, including fabric testing and risk assessment, to minimise the chance of issues. Policy details are available on request if you need them for your records or for a managing agent.

What exactly is included in an upholstery cleaning service?

A standard visit includes inspection and testing, dry vacuuming of the upholstery, application of suitable pre-sprays, agitation of soiled areas, stain treatment where appropriate, and machine or low-moisture cleaning of the fabric. We then extract as much moisture as possible and groom the fabric to help it dry evenly. We also place protective sheets where needed and leave your room tidy. Optional extras, such as fabric protector, can be added by prior agreement and will be clearly shown on your quote.

How far in advance should I book?

For the widest choice of dates and times, especially in busy periods, we suggest booking one to two weeks ahead. However, we understand that life is not always predictable. If you have an urgent spill, an upcoming event or an end of tenancy deadline, contact us and we will check our Hampstead schedule for the earliest opening. For larger commercial jobs or multiple properties, a bit more notice helps us plan resources and minimise disruption to your daily routine.

How long will my upholstery take to dry?

Drying time depends on fabric type, cleaning method, room temperature and ventilation. Many items are touch-dry within a few hours, while thicker or more absorbent fabrics can take longer. We use equipment that extracts as much moisture as possible and we may recommend opening windows or using gentle air movement to speed things up. We will always advise expected drying times on the day, so you know when sofas and chairs can be used again comfortably and safely.
