Upholstery Cleaning in Pilgrims Hatch

Upholstery Cleaning in Pilgrims Hatch

How do your upholstery cleaners clean a sofa at home?

We read the fabric label, test the cleaning solution on a hidden spot, and then choose the cleaning method: a low moisture clean for delicate fabrics, or hot water extraction, often called steam cleaning, for fabrics that can take it. Stains are pre treated first, and our cleaning machines lift the dirt and the solution back out in the same pass.

Before any of that, the cushions come off and the seams, piping and the deck underneath are vacuumed, because that's where crumbs, grit and pet hair collect. After the clean, an odour treatment goes on where it's needed, the pile is brushed in one direction to dry evenly, and cushions are stood on their edges so the air reaches both sides. It's an effective cleaning method for most fabric furniture, and the cleaning process is the same high standard on a single footstool as on a full suite.

Most everyday stains, such as tea, coffee, food, make up and muddy paw prints, come out or fade a great deal. Older stains that have been rubbed with a household cleaner, ink and dye from new jeans are harder, and your cleaner will tell you honestly what to expect before starting the upholstery cleaning.

How long does upholstery take to dry?

Most sofas and chairs are dry enough to use within a few hours and completely dry within 24 hours. How quickly yours dries depends on the room and the weather, because humidity, temperature and airflow all play a part, so a damp November day is slower than a warm day in June.

Open a window, put the heating on low and keep pets and children off the cushions until they're dry, and leave throws off for the day, because they trap moisture in the fabric.

What furniture can you clean, and do you do leather cleaning?

We clean fabric sofas of every shape, including corner units and sofa beds, plus armchairs, recliners, footstools, padded dining chairs, headboards, upholstered bed frames and scatter cushions. Each piece is priced separately, so you can book one armchair, four dining chairs or every piece of upholstery furniture in the room.

Our upholstery cleaning service is focused on fabric. If you have a leather sofa, or a label that says dry clean only, tell us when you book and we'll advise on the safest approach before anyone comes out. Antique and very delicate pieces are the same: we'd rather talk it through first than guess.

Can I book carpet and upholstery cleaning on the same visit in Pilgrims Hatch?

Yes. Our upholstery cleaners are local carpet cleaners too, so the sofa, armchairs, rug and lounge carpet can all be cleaned in one booking. Carpet cleaning starts from £49 and mattress cleaning from £39, and one visit is easier to arrange than two.

Each carpet gets the same careful approach as your upholstery: a check of the fibre, stains pre treated, then hot water extraction or a low moisture clean depending on the carpet. If the whole house needs attention, a deep clean starts from £27 an hour, and landlords with furnished lets can add upholstery cleaning to an end of tenancy clean, from £179, so the sofa is fresh for the next tenant.

How much does upholstery cleaning cost in Pilgrims Hatch?

Upholstery cleaning in Pilgrims Hatch starts from £69. Each item is priced on its own, so an armchair costs less than a three seater or a corner sofa, and Get a quote shows the total for the pieces you choose before you confirm the booking.

If anything isn't right after the clean, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and put it right free of charge. Payment is secured in advance, either by holding the amount on your card or by bank transfer before the clean.
