Frequently asked questions

Q: Can you clean suede or velvet couches?
A: Yes. Suede, velvet and other delicate fabrics are cleaned with a dry solvent rather than steam, so there’s no risk of watermarks and drying time is minimal to none. Your technician checks the fabric on site first and picks the right method.
Q: Can you remove old stains?
A: If there’s a way to remove the stain, we’ll find it. Old stains are trickier, especially if they’ve been scrubbed with DIY products first (that often sets them in worse) — so the sooner you get it looked at, the better your odds.
Q: How often should I professionally clean my couch?
A: We recommend a professional clean at least twice a year. Extends the lifespan of your furniture — regular sofa cleaning prevents wear and fabric breakdown. Add Scotchgard protection and your couch stays cleaner for up to 2x longer between visits.
Q: Can you remove pet urine and odours?
A: Pet accidents are one of the toughest jobs we handle — and one of the most rewarding to fix. Our deodorising treatment neutralises odours at the source, not just masks them, using solutions that are completely safe for kids and pets.
Q: How long to let a couch dry after sofa steam cleaning?
A: A steam-cleaned couch dries in 4–6 hours. About 95% of the moisture is extracted during the clean, and open windows or air conditioning speed up the rest. Dry solvent cleaning needs minimal to no drying time.
Q: Is steam cleaning good for couches?
A: Yes, steam cleaning is an effective way to remove built-up dirt, everyday stains and allergens from many types of upholstery. Our professional couch cleaning service uses hot water extraction to loosen and lift dirt from deep within the fabric, leaving your couch cleaner and fresher. Before cleaning, we check the upholstery material to make sure the method is suitable, as some delicate fabrics require dry cleaning instead.
Q: Is it worth it to steam clean a couch?
A: Yes, it is! sofa steam cleaning refreshes your couch by removing stubborn dirt, stains, and odours while prolonging its lifespan. Our upholstery cleaning Melbourne service ensures that your furniture looks its best and remains a healthy part of your living space.
Q: Are professional upholstery cleaning services safe for my furniture?
A: Yes. Our cleaning solutions are eco-friendly and harmless to people and pets, and each fabric gets the method that suits it.
Q: What is the best method for cleaning upholstery?
A: It depends on the fabric. Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) suits most synthetics, microfibre and mixed fabrics. Velvet, 100% cotton, suede and nubuck are dry solvent cleaned, and 100% wool can take either. Not sure? Just book — we’ll handle the rest.
Q: Can upholstery cleaning remove pet hair and odours?
A: Yes, professional upholstery cleaning can help remove pet hair, dander and lingering odours from your furniture. We remove loose hair and debris before using hot water extraction, where suitable, to lift embedded dirt and odour-causing residues from the fabric. While stubborn odours may need additional treatment, regular cleaning helps keep your upholstery fresh and comfortable.
Q: Is it necessary to apply fabric protection after cleaning?
A: Yes, fabric protection is highly recommended to prevent future stains and spills. Our Scotchgard™ application adds a protective layer, ensuring your furniture stays cleaner for longer.
Q: How much is it to steam clean a couch?
A: Our couch steam cleaning service starts from $37 per seat. A 3-seat couch costs $111, with a minimum call-out charge of $125. Stain pre-treatment is included, while deodorising and Scotchgard™ fabric protection are available as optional extras.
