Upholstery Cleaning Services: Bring Back the Look, Feel and Freshness of Your Furniture
Upholstered furniture traps dust, body oils, pet dander, food spills and odors deep inside the fabric and cushioning. Over time, this buildup dulls the color, leaves lingering smells, wears down fibers and can affect the air quality in your home or workplace.
ServiceMaster Professional Cleaning and Restoration brings trained technicians, fabric-safe methods and professional equipment to every upholstery cleaning. We identify your fabric, treat stains and odors at the source and leave furniture cleaner, fresher and more comfortable.
Need Your Upholstery Cleaned? Here’s What to Do Before We Arrive
If you’ve had a fresh spill or your furniture is overdue for a deep clean, these steps protect the fabric and improve the results:
- Blot, don’t rub: use a clean, dry cloth on fresh spills. Rubbing pushes the stain deeper and can damage fibers.
- Skip store-bought spot treatments: harsh products can set stains, cause water rings or fade the color.
- Check the care tag: codes such as W, S, WS or X show which cleaning methods are safe for your fabric.
- Vacuum loose dirt and pet hair: removing surface debris helps the deep cleaning work better.
- Keep pets and children away: let the fabric stay undisturbed until it’s treated and fully dry.
- Note the source of the stain: knowing whether it’s coffee, grease, ink or a pet accident helps us choose the right treatment.
- Call ServiceMaster Professional Cleaning and Restoration: we’ll advise you on next steps and schedule your cleaning.
Do not use rental machines or heavy scrubbing on upholstery. Too much moisture and the wrong products can cause shrinkage, color bleeding, browning and mildew inside the cushions.
Why Upholstered Furniture Needs Regular Professional Cleaning ?
Every home and workplace is different, but these everyday factors affect upholstery wherever it sits:
Daily Body Oils and Soil
Skin oils, sweat and lotions build up on armrests, headrests and seats. Vacuuming can’t remove them, and they attract more dirt over time.
Pets and Active Households
Pet hair, dander, drool and accidents create stubborn odors and stains. Professional treatment is needed to reach what has soaked into the padding.
Dust Mites, Allergens and Humidity
Upholstery acts like a filter, holding dust, pollen and allergens. In humid conditions, damp fabric can also hold musty odors and encourage mildew.
Spills, Food and High-Traffic Use
Dining chairs, family room sofas and office seating take constant use. Spills and grease left in place become harder to remove each week.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Process: From Fabric Inspection to Final Walkthrough
We follow a clear, proven process so your furniture is cleaned safely and thoroughly.
01
Fabric Inspection and Colorfastness Test
Every fabric reacts differently to water and cleaning agents. Our technicians identify the material, note stains, wear and heavily soiled areas, and test for colorfastness before choosing the cleaning method and products.
02
Vacuuming and Pre-Treatment
We vacuum away loose dust and pet hair, then pre-treat stains, armrests and high-contact areas with products matched to the fabric to loosen embedded dirt.
03
Deep Cleaning and Extraction
Using a method suited to the fabric, such as hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning, we lift soil, allergens and residue from the fibers and cushions.
04
Spot Treatment and Deodorizing
Remaining stains receive targeted treatment, and odors from pets, smoke or spills are treated at the source instead of being covered with fragrance.
05
Grooming, Drying and Final Inspection
We groom the fabric, speed up drying with airflow and review the results with you. We also give you drying time estimates and tips for protecting your furniture while it dries.
Which Fabrics and Furniture Materials Can We Clean Safely?
Not every sofa or chair can be cleaned the same way. Before we start, we identify the fabric, check the care tag and test for colorfastness, so the method fits the material and protects its color and texture.
Fabrics and materials we commonly clean:
- Cotton and linen blends: everyday fabrics that absorb spills and body oils quickly
- Microfiber: a popular, stain-prone fabric that needs the right moisture level
- Polyester and other synthetics: durable fabrics that respond well to deep cleaning
- Velvet and chenille: soft, delicate textures that need gentle, low-moisture care
- Wool blends: natural fibers that need controlled moisture and careful drying
- Silk and specialty fabrics: delicate materials that may need specialty methods after testing
- Sofa cushions and removable covers: cleaned based on the care tag and fabric type
- Decorative pillows and throw cushions: refreshed to remove dust, oils and odors
Which Stains Can Professional Upholstery Cleaning Remove?
Spills happen, and the sooner a stain is treated, the better the result. Every stain reacts differently to the fabric it lands on, so we identify the stain and the material first, then choose a treatment that lifts the mark without damaging the fibers. Some older or set-in stains may only lighten, and we tell you what to expect after testing.
Stains we commonly treat:
- Coffee, tea and juice spills on seats and armrests
- Red wine and other beverage stains
- Grease and oil marks from food and body contact
- Pet accidents, including urine and vomit
- Ink and marker marks from pens and children’s art
- Dirt and grime on headrests and armrests
If your furniture has a stain you’re unsure about, call us before trying a home remedy. Many DIY products set stains or leave water rings, and we can advise on the safest first steps.
