Based in SE10, we regularly work in Greenwich, Westcombe Park, Maze Hill and the nearby neighbourhoods. We know how quickly sofas and chairs pick up everyday marks from pets, children, food, and general use.

Our team uses commercial-grade machines and industry-approved products to deep clean and refresh your soft furnishings, helping extend their lifespan and improve the hygiene and appearance of your home or workplace.

Our service is designed for a wide range of clients in SE10:

• Homeowners – keep your sofas, armchairs and dining chairs clean, fresh and looking their best.
• Renters – ideal for end-of-tenancy requirements or freshening up landlord-owned furniture.
• Landlords – restore furnishings between tenancies and help protect your investment.
• Businesses – offices, reception areas, clinics, salons, showrooms and more.
• Students – cost-effective freshen-up for shared houses and flats with upholstered furniture.

What Our Upholstery Cleaning Service Includes

Typical Items We Clean

We clean most fabric and some specialist upholstery, including:

• Fabric sofas, corner units and sofa beds
• Armchairs, wingback chairs, recliners and accent chairs
• Dining chairs and bar stools with fabric seats or backs
• Footstools, pouffes and fabric headboards
• Office chairs and meeting room seating
• Mattress surface cleaning (freshening and stain treatment)
• Fabric wall panels and some soft furnishings by prior agreement

What Is Not Included

To keep our work safe and effective, some items are usually excluded or treated only after prior assessment:

• Full leather restoration (we offer light leather cleaning, but not re-colouring or repairs)
• Suede, nubuck and some delicate or unknown fabrics that may not be wet-cleanable
• Antique or highly fragile items that cannot tolerate machine extraction
• Severely smoke-damaged or mould-infested upholstery where replacement is more appropriate
• Outdoor furniture cushions that are not designed for wet cleaning

During our initial check, we’ll always carry out a fabric test and will advise honestly if cleaning is not recommended or results are likely to be limited.

How Our Upholstery Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Carpet Cleaners SE10 by phone, email or online form. We’ll ask a few questions about:

• Type and number of items (e.g. 3-seater sofa, 4 dining chairs)
• Fabric type, if known
• General condition and any specific stains (wine, food, pet accidents, make-up etc.)
• Property access and parking in SE10

Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation, outlining what’s included and any optional extras such as stain protector.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For straightforward jobs, a virtual survey via photos or video call is usually sufficient. For larger or more complex work, we may visit your property in SE10 to inspect the upholstery. We look at:

• Fabric composition and colour-fastness
• Level of soiling and wear
• Presence of odours or heavy staining
• Access for our machines and drying conditions

This allows us to choose the safest and most effective cleaning method and provide a realistic expectation of results.

3. Preparation

On the day, our trained technicians arrive on time with all necessary equipment. We:

• Move light items around the upholstery where needed and safe to do so
• Lay down protection for floors and nearby furniture
• Carry out a fabric test in an inconspicuous area
• Pre-vacuum upholstery to remove loose dust and debris

We then apply a suitable pre-spray to break down oils and dirt, agitate where appropriate, and use hot water extraction or low-moisture techniques, depending on the fabric and condition.

Our Cleaning Methods

We select methods based on fabric and soiling:

• Hot water extraction (often called steam cleaning) for most durable fabrics
• Low-moisture / encapsulation for quicker drying and more delicate items
• Targeted stain treatment for common marks such as food, drink and light pet stains
• Deodorising treatments to help neutralise everyday odours

Where requested, we can apply a fabric stain protection treatment afterwards to help resist future spills and make day-to-day cleaning easier.

Transparent Upholstery Cleaning Pricing

Our pricing is straightforward and explained clearly before any work starts. Typical pricing is based on:

• Number and type of items (e.g. per seat or per piece)
• Fabric type and complexity
• Level of soiling and stain work required
• Access and parking arrangements in SE10

We provide a written or emailed quotation so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden charges for standard work. If anything extra is needed on the day, we will discuss and agree it with you first.

Why Choose Professional Upholstery Cleaning Over DIY

While hire machines and over-the-counter products may seem convenient, they can easily overwet fabrics, leave residues and even cause permanent damage or shrinkage.

By using our professional service you benefit from:

• Correct identification of fabrics and safe cleaning methods
• Commercial-grade equipment for deeper cleaning and faster drying
• Targeted stain treatments that household products often cannot match
• Reduced risk of colour bleed, marks and lingering damp smells
• Advice on ongoing care to prolong the life of your furniture

For valuable or much‑used sofas and chairs, professional cleaning is usually more cost-effective over the long term.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Carpet Cleaners SE10 operates to strict professional standards for your peace of mind. Our teams are fully insured and properly trained.

• Public liability cover – protects you and your property while we are working on site.
• Goods in transit insurance – covers any items we transport for off-site cleaning or specialist treatment.
• Trained cleaning teams – all technicians are trained in fabric identification, stain treatment and safe machine operation.

We work carefully in your property, treat furniture as if it were our own, and follow manufacturer guidelines wherever available.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on both fabric care and environmental responsibility:

• Using modern, efficient machinery to reduce water and energy use
• Selecting eco-conscious products where suitable, without compromising cleaning results
• Minimising chemical use by thorough pre-vacuuming and targeted stain treatment
• Protecting your floors and surrounding furniture with coverings and corner protectors
• Advising you on ventilation and drying to prevent any issues after cleaning

By refreshing and restoring your existing upholstery, you can often delay or avoid replacement, which is better for both your budget and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does upholstery cleaning cost in SE10?

Pricing depends mainly on the number and type of items, the fabric, and how heavily soiled they are. For example, a standard fabric armchair will usually cost less than a large corner sofa requiring extensive stain work. Once you tell us what you have, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras. If we need to adjust the price due to additional work, we’ll always discuss it with you first so you stay in full control of the cost.

Can you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day bookings in SE10, especially for time-sensitive issues such as fresh spills or end-of-tenancy requirements. Availability will depend on our existing commitments and the size of the job. If we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest possible appointment and advise you on what to do in the meantime to minimise staining and damage until we arrive.

Are you insured while cleaning my furniture?

Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. This includes public liability cover while we are on your premises and goods in transit insurance for any items we may need to move or take away for specialist cleaning. In addition, our technicians are properly trained in safe working practices, chemical handling and fabric care. We are happy to provide proof of insurance on request before any work begins for your peace of mind.

What exactly is included in your upholstery cleaning service?

Our standard service includes inspection, fabric testing, pre-vacuuming, application of suitable pre-sprays, agitation where required, machine extraction or low-moisture cleaning, and basic deodorising. Light to moderate stain treatment is also included. Optional extras such as heavy stain removal or stain protection can be added if appropriate. We’ll explain clearly what is and isn’t included in your quote, so you know exactly what will be done on the day and what level of improvement you can realistically expect.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For the best choice of appointment times, we recommend booking at least a week in advance, particularly if you need a specific day or time. That said, we often have flexibility in SE10 for smaller jobs, and we will always try to fit you in sooner if we can. During busier periods, such as moving seasons or just before holidays, slots can fill quickly, so contacting us as early as possible is the safest option.

How long will my upholstery take to dry?

Drying times vary depending on the fabric, cleaning method and room ventilation. Most upholstery is touch-dry within a few hours and fully dry within 6–12 hours. We use powerful extraction equipment to remove as much moisture as possible, and we’ll advise you on how to speed up drying with ventilation and heating if needed. We recommend avoiding heavy use of the furniture until it is fully dry to prevent re-soiling and to achieve the best possible final result.
