Sofa Cleaning Costs by Type

Sofa Type Outside London In London Method

*Prices include VAT. Minimum charge applies for small jobs. Final quote depends on fabric type and cleaning method.

How the Minimum Charge Works

Most professional sofa cleaners have a minimum spend — usually between £40 and £80 (inc. VAT). This charge covers the cleaner's travel, setup, and use of specialist equipment. Professional sofa cleaning involves high-powered machines, detergents, and extraction tools, which aren't cost-effective for just one very small item.

This means that even if you only want one armchair or a couple of cushions cleaned, you'll still be charged the minimum. To get better value, it's best to add other upholstery items such as rugs, mattresses, or carpets so you get the most out of your booking.

Professional Sofa Cleaning Methods

Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)

Most common and effective method for most sofa fabrics. Uses hot water and detergent to deep clean fibres, followed by powerful extraction to remove dirt and excess moisture. Great for removing stains, odours, allergens, and general dirt.

Dry Cleaning

For moisture-sensitive fabrics like suede, velvet, and silk. A special solvent is applied with minimal water. While gentler than steam cleaning, it's not as effective for stubborn stains.

Why Get Your Sofa Professionally Cleaned?

Remove Stains & Odours

Lifts deep-set dirt, odours, and bacteria that regular vacuuming can't remove.

Prolong Sofa Lifespan

Protects your sofa and keeps it looking good for longer by removing damaging dirt and oils.

Restore Look & Comfort

Brightens colours, revives fabric texture, and leaves your sofa feeling fresher.

What Affects the Cost of Sofa Cleaning?

Fabric Type

Delicate fabrics like silk, suede, or velvet require specialist dry cleaning, which is more expensive.

When You Book

Evening, weekend, or last-minute bookings may incur a premium. Book early for best rates.

Location

London and major cities typically cost 15–20% more due to higher operating costs.

How Often Should You Clean Your Sofa?

We recommend cleaning your sofa every 12–18 months. However, you might need more frequent cleaning if:

  • You have pets or young children
  • You smoke indoors
  • Your sofa is in a high-traffic area
