What’s Included in Our Upholstery Cleaning
Our standard upholstery cleaning service typically includes:
- Sofas & settees – including corner sofas, sofa beds and modular units.
- Armchairs & recliners – fabric and some types of leather (subject to inspection).
- Dining chairs – seat pads and upholstered backs.
- Footstools & ottomans – fabric and mixed-fibre coverings.
- Fabric headboards – where accessible and safe to clean in situ.
- Office chairs & reception seating – including fabric meeting room and waiting area chairs.
Before we begin, we always inspect the item and discuss any particular concerns such as specific stains, pet odours or allergy issues.
What’s Not Included (and Why)
For clarity and to protect your furnishings, some items are excluded from our standard upholstery cleaning:
- Delicate or unstable fabrics that cannot safely be wet-cleaned (for example some silks, viscose or very old, worn coverings).
- Unstable dyes or fabrics that bleed heavily during testing.
- Severely damaged or torn upholstery where cleaning could worsen the damage.
- Suede, nubuck and certain specialist leathers that require separate specialist treatment.
- Soft furnishings that cannot be accessed safely or moved enough for proper cleaning.
If we believe cleaning is unsafe or unlikely to give a satisfactory result, we will explain this honestly and suggest alternatives rather than risk damage to your furniture.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We’ll ask a few simple questions about your upholstery – type of items, approximate sizes, fabric where known, and any particular stains or issues. Based on this information we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation, usually as a fixed price per item or per set.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most domestic jobs, a brief virtual survey using photos or a video call is sufficient. For larger properties or commercial premises in Shepherd's Bush, we can arrange an onsite survey. During the survey we:
- Identify fabric type and construction.
- Check for stains, wear, loose seams or colour instability.
- Confirm access, parking and any requirements for lifts or security.
This allows us to plan the correct method and give realistic expectations about the results.
3. Preparation
On the day of cleaning we:
- Protect nearby flooring and surrounding areas where necessary.
- Move light furniture where possible to access all sides of the item.
- Carry out a colour-fastness and fabric stability test on a small, hidden area.
- Thoroughly vacuum the upholstery to remove loose dust, crumbs and hair.
We then apply a suitable pre-treatment to break down soil and stains before using professional extraction or low-moisture equipment. Finally, we groom the fabric where appropriate and advise on drying times and aftercare.
Transparent Pricing for Upholstery Cleaning
We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs are usually based on:
- Type and size of furniture (for example a 2-seater sofa vs. a corner unit).
- Fabric type and condition.
- Number of items to be cleaned in one visit.
- Location in relation to Shepherd's Bush and access/parking arrangements.
We provide clear written quotes before any work begins, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for standard stain treatment or standard deodorising. Any additional charges, such as heavy pet contamination or protective stain-guard treatments, are always discussed in advance.
Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Beats DIY
While hire machines and shop-bought products can seem tempting, professional upholstery cleaning offers several important advantages:
- Correct method for each fabric – we match cleaning techniques and products to your exact upholstery type to minimise risk.
- More powerful equipment – professional machines remove far more dirt and moisture, reducing drying times and the risk of mould or odours.
- Proper stain treatment – many DIY products can set stains or bleach fabrics; we use professional spotting agents and know when to stop.
- Even results – we clean the entire item, avoiding patchy or ring-marked finishes.
- Time and effort – we handle the hard work, leaving you free to get on with your day.
In many cases, using a professional service can also help maintain manufacturer warranties that require periodic cleaning by a recognised professional.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Carpet Cleaning Shepherd's Bush operates to high professional standards, with full insurance cover and trained technicians on every job.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property while we are working in your home or premises.
- Goods in transit insurance – where items need to be moved or temporarily transported, they are covered appropriately.
- Trained cleaning teams – our technicians receive ongoing training in fabric identification, stain removal and safe chemical use.
We follow recognised industry guidelines for upholstery cleaning, including appropriate testing, safe moisture levels and careful handling of your furniture at every stage.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take a careful, responsible approach to both your furnishings and the wider environment:
- Fabric care – we always test first, use the mildest effective solutions and avoid over-wetting to protect fillings, frames and coverings.
- Home and workplace protection – we use corner guards, floor protection and clean equipment to avoid scuffs and mess.
- Responsible products – wherever possible we choose low-residue, biodegradable solutions that are safe when dry for children and pets.
- Extended life – by maintaining upholstery properly, you reduce the need for early replacement, which in turn reduces waste.
Our aim is to leave your upholstery cleaner and fresher while treating your property with respect and keeping disruption to a minimum.
Local Upholstery Cleaning Expertise in Shepherd's Bush
Based in Shepherd's Bush, we know the local housing stock, from period conversions and Victorian terraces to modern flats and commercial buildings. We understand the practical realities of working in busy streets, controlled parking zones and properties with limited access or no lift. This local knowledge helps us plan appointments realistically and turn up when we say we will.
Many of our clients come back to us regularly for ongoing maintenance cleans, and we are always happy to give straightforward advice on how best to look after your upholstery between professional visits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does upholstery cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the size and type of each item, the fabric and how soiled it is. As a guide, we normally price per item – for example, per armchair, 2-seater sofa or set of dining chairs – with discounts for multiple items cleaned in the same visit. Heavily stained or pet-contaminated pieces may take longer and be priced accordingly. We always provide a clear, itemised quotation before work begins, so you know exactly what you will pay and what is included. There are no hidden extras for standard stain treatment.
Can you do same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice upholstery cleaning in Shepherd's Bush, particularly for smaller domestic jobs or emergency spills. Availability will depend on existing bookings and the size of the job. If it is urgent, it is best to call us as early as possible, explain the situation and send photos if you can. We will be honest about what’s realistic and, if we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest suitable slot and advice on what to do – and not do – in the meantime.
Are you insured if something gets damaged?
Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. Our cover includes public liability insurance for work in your property and appropriate goods in transit cover where items need to be moved or transported. In addition, our technicians are trained professionals who always test fabrics and discuss any risks with you before starting. While incidents are extremely rare, you have the reassurance that we are properly covered. If we believe an item is too fragile or risky to clean safely, we will tell you openly rather than proceed.
What is included in your upholstery cleaning service?
Our standard service includes inspection, vacuuming, pre-treatment of general soiling, stain treatment where appropriate, and thorough cleaning using a method suited to your fabric. We also include light deodorising as standard, leaving items fresher without heavy perfumes. Moving of light furniture, basic protection of surrounding areas and advice on drying and aftercare are all part of the service. Additional options, such as fabric protection treatments or intensive pet odour treatments, can be added on request and will always be priced and agreed with you beforehand.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For the best choice of dates and times, particularly if you need a specific day or weekend, booking one to two weeks in advance is sensible. That said, we keep some flexibility in our schedule for local Shepherd's Bush jobs and may be able to fit you in sooner, especially on weekdays. Larger commercial or multi-property bookings may require a little more notice so we can allocate the right team and equipment. If you have a fixed deadline – for example, a move-out date or event – let us know and we will plan accordingly.
How long will my upholstery take to dry?
Drying times vary depending on fabric type, how heavily soiled the items were, room temperature and ventilation. As a general guide, most upholstery is touch-dry within a few hours and fully dry within 6–12 hours. We use powerful extraction to remove as much moisture as possible during cleaning. You can help speed up drying by opening windows, switching on gentle heating and using fans to improve air circulation. We will always advise you on expected drying times for your specific items before we leave.
