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.

Steam and vinegar are excellent cleaners, but it’s best not to put vinegar in your steam cleaner unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. If you don’t dilute the vinegar properly, it can damage the steam cleaner, and using a non-approved cleaning solution in the machine can void the manufacturer’s warranty.

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.
