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.

Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to protect your leather furniture from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.

In most cases, a professional upholstery cleaner will take 30 minutes and one hour to clean a single piece of furniture. Small, isolated stains could take less time, while heavily soiled couches could take up to three hours. If you have an antique piece of furniture, it might take a few hours to clean as well, as your professional needs to take greater care to make sure they don’t damage the delicate material. In any case, your expert should be able to give you an estimate for the cleaning timeline before they get started.

You should not use bleach to clean a mattress. Bleach is too harsh for most mattress fibers and can cause damage to mattress foam. In addition, bleach cannot be adequately rinsed out of a mattress, causing the smell to linger for a long time. Choose gentler cleaners like baking soda, dish soap, or enzyme cleaners.
