Prices & quotes
How much does upholstery cleaning cost in Teesside?
Sofas £50 to £90; armchairs £30 to £50; leather cleaning and conditioning £55 to £90; stain treatments from £40; mattresses £45 to £70; commercial from £150.
Is the quote really free?
Yes: the piece is assessed properly, the work is priced in writing, and you decide in your own time.
Is it cheaper to clean several pieces at once?
Clearly, yes: the visit setup cost is shared, so a sofa plus chairs plus a mattress in one visit costs much less than separate bookings.
Why did my neighbour pay less for the same-sized sofa?
Fabric and condition: a hard-wearing synthetic in fair shape is simply less work than a delicate fabric with ground-in soil. The written quote shows what yours involves.
The work itself
How long does a sofa take to dry?
Two to four hours to touch-dry with normal airflow for most fabrics, fully dry and back in use the same day. Low-moisture methods dry faster still.
Can all fabrics be cleaned?
Almost all: the fibre is identified and colour-tested first and the method matched to it. The rare unstable dye or fragile vintage fabric is declared clean-at-risk before any work.
Can velvet, linen or chenille be cleaned?
Yes, with low-moisture or dry methods rather than extraction. These fabrics are tested first and cleaned gently; done properly, they come up beautifully.
Do you take the furniture away?
No: everything is cleaned in your home. The equipment is professional extraction and low-moisture kit brought to the piece, and the room is left tidy.
Stains, smells & pets
My dog had an accident on the sofa. Will the smell go?
Almost always: enzyme treatments break down the uric salts that cause the smell rather than masking them. Deep-soaked cushion filling is the one honest exception, declared at assessment.
Can red wine stains be removed?
Fresh and blotted quickly, usually yes. A week old and already attacked with home remedies, it becomes a genuine battle: improvement is realistic, invisibility is not promised.
Is professional cleaning safe around children and pets?
Yes: professional-grade products are used at correct dilutions and fully extracted. Keep children and pets off the piece until touch-dry, a few hours at most.
Is fabric protection worth applying after cleaning?
In busy households, yes: it buys time to blot spills before they penetrate, turning many would-be stains into non-events.
