Get matched with top furniture cleaning pros in Thatcher, AZ

Cleaning a leather sofa is typically easier than cleaning fabric sofas, although they do need annual conditioning to keep them in top condition. Where you can often quickly wipe down moisture-repellent leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and spills, you might have to scrub fabrics and use specialist cleaning products to get rid of ingrained grime or soaked-in stains.

When cleaning upholstery, you want to avoid harsh scrubbing, oversaturating the fabric, and using the wrong kind of cleaner for the fabric you’re cleaning. Any of these can cause significant damage to the upholstery, including rips, stains, faded fabric, mildew, or discoloration. Be methodical and use a light touch when cleaning upholstered furniture to preserve the life and look of the upholstery. 

The cost of furniture upholstery cleaning is $175 on average but can range from $75 to $350 or more. The material of your furniture is a significant cost component of this project. 

Fabrics like wool, cotton, and polyester are cost-effective to clean, ranging from $100 to $300. However, materials like leather will cost more, ranging from $200 to $500 on average. Additionally, the item's condition will impact the cleaning cost. Lightly soiled upholstery takes less time to clean and falls toward the lower end of the price range. In contrast, deep cleaning heavily soiled upholstery will be a higher charge.

If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven’t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.
