The length of time you have to stay off your couch after cleaning depends on the fabric type and the level of sanitation. Always let your couch fully dry out before anyone sits on it. This can take a few minutes after wiping a leather sofa to a day after deep cleaning fabric. A damp sofa equals damp clothes, and trapped moisture contributes to mold and mildew formation and discoloration. You can speed drying by directing fans towards the sofa, soaking up excess moisture, and keeping the room well-ventilated.

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.

To remove dog or cat urine from a microfiber couch, use a safe solution for your furniture based on its cleaning code. First, blot up as much as possible, then cover the area with baking soda for a few hours to remove the smell. For S cleaning codes, use a spray bottle to spritz the stained area with rubbing alcohol and gently scrub with a microfiber cloth until the urine is gone. Use the same process for W or S-W cleaning codes but with 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of rubbing alcohol. 

To prevent water spots from appearing on your upholstered chairs after cleaning, avoid saturating the furniture or applying water directly on it, and don’t use direct heat to dry it. Instead, use damp (not wet) cloths and suds from water-based solutions and let your chairs air dry inside.
