How the service works

Assessing the upholstery and visible stainsThe professional checks the fabric by feel and texture, spots stains, sensitive areas or weak seams and adapts the cleaning method to the piece. Materials such as leather, microfibre, linen or velvet are identified too, so safe and effective products are chosen. This step prevents discolouration or distortion.
Thorough vacuuming firstBuilt-up dust is removed from the surface and the inner layers of the padding so it does not get damp during cleaning. This includes folds, seams, gaps between cushions and the sides of the piece. The preparation helps the detergent work better and prevents new marks during wet cleaning.
The right detergent for each materialA tailored, chlorine-free, quick-drying solution removes upholstery stains without leaving residue or changing colours. It is sprayed on evenly and left for a few minutes to break down grease, odours and organic matter. The products are mild and suitable for homes with children and pets.
Spray extraction or foam cleaningSpray extraction sprays and vacuums at the same time, reaching deep into the fibres to remove dirt, mites, grease and old spills. Delicate fabrics can be cleaned gently with upholstery foam. This step removes germs and neutralises odours without soaking the furniture, which shortens drying time.
Drying and final checkFinally there is a quality check: any residue is removed and drying is sped up with fresh air or fans if needed. The professional checks seams, edges and frequently touched areas so the upholstery is completely clean and ready to use. You also get tips on care and when to book the next professional clean.

Direct benefits of professional upholstery cleaning

Removing mites and bacteriaFabrics collect millions of microorganisms. Professional cleaning removes them with germ-reducing products and spray extraction, without harsh chemicals.
Lifting tough stainsModern techniques remove stains such as wine, coffee, blood or pet marks without changing the original colour or damaging the material.
Neutralising odoursSweat, smoke or damp cause persistent smells. Enzymatic products neutralise them and remove the source of the odour.
Care for each type of fabricWhether velvet, linen, cotton, leather or microfibre, each piece of upholstery gets a treatment suited to its material.
Fast, residue-free dryingThanks to spray extraction, the furniture is only slightly damp and ready to use again within a few hours, with no risk of mould or trapped moisture.

Frequently asked questions

How much does sofa cleaning cost?
The price depends on the type of sofa and the number of seats: two-seater, three-seater or corner sofa. The exact price is fixed at booking and does not change.
Do you clean corner sofas?
Yes. Corner sofas are cleaned in full, including the chaise section and removable cushions. Each section is treated according to how dirty it is.
Is the sofa cleaned at my home?
Yes. The service takes place at your home, with no need to transport the furniture.
How long does sofa cleaning take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes of work on site per sofa. Drying takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on ventilation and fabric type.
What is the price?
Each company sets its own prices. On Domestina, companies compete directly and their offers are shown on one screen, so you get the best deal for the job you need.
Does the weather need to be warm to book the service?
Not at all. After treatment, surfaces are slightly damp and dry within a few hours, depending on how dirty the upholstery was. In warm weather it dries a little faster, but the difference is only a few hours.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Drying time depends on the fabric, how dirty it was and room ventilation, but in most cases upholstery is dry 6 to 12 hours after cleaning. If needed, you can speed up drying with more air circulation, for example by opening windows or using fans.
How do I choose a cleaning company?
Domestina marks the best choice for your clean as its recommendation. Based on several criteria such as consistency, professionalism, experience and price, the platform identifies the best option for your clean.
Can all types of upholstery be cleaned?
Yes, most upholstery fabrics can be cleaned with professional equipment, including delicate materials such as velvet or silk. However, tell the cleaning company about any specific care instructions or concerns when you book. They will adjust their approach so the clean is safe and effective.
Is stain removal included in the service?
Yes, stain removal is part of the standard service. The equipment used by Domestina’s cleaning companies is designed to deal with common food, drink and pet stains.
Do all stains disappear?
Although the technology used is among the best, there is such a thing as ‘permanent damage’, when a stain has changed the structure or colour of the fibre itself (for example hair dye or bleach). In 90% of other cases, the stain is removed completely.
Is the cleaning safe for pets?
Yes. The methods are completely safe. The only important thing is to keep pets off the furniture until it is completely dry, so they do not carry dirt in on their paws.
Can leather be cleaned?
Yes, Domestina also offers specialist cleaning for genuine leather, but the method is manual and uses professional conditioning balms rather than extraction.
How do I prepare before the team arrives to clean my sofa?
Ideally, clear the area around the sofa (side tables, fragile items) and remove personal belongings from the cushions and seats. That way the team can work more efficiently and without interruptions.
What if I have an old stain and I don’t know what it is?
When booking, mention that the stain is old and, if possible, describe it (greasy, coloured, sticky). Even without certainty, this helps the team treat the stain more carefully and choose the right approach.
Should I air the room or use a fan after cleaning?
Yes. Airing the room and circulating the air are the simplest ways to speed up drying and reduce any feeling of residual damp.
Can I stay at home while the work is done?
Yes, it usually helps if someone is at home to provide access and answer questions, for example about sensitive areas or preferences for the furniture.
Just the sofa, or chairs and stools as well?
If you have upholstered chairs or stools in the same room with similar wear, it is worth including them in the same booking for an even result across the whole area, especially when the pieces are used together every day.
How do I keep my sofa clean for longer after cleaning?
A simple habit is to vacuum the sofa regularly (including between the cushions) and deal with spills straight away by dabbing rather than rubbing hard. This reduces dirt build-up in the fabric and keeps it looking good between professional cleans.
Can I sit on the sofa while it’s still slightly damp?
It’s better to wait until the sofa is completely dry. This protects the fabric and prevents new pressure marks or odours.
How can I tell if a stain treatment worked?
The final result is easiest to see after drying. Some stains look more visible while damp and disappear once the upholstery is dry.
Why does the sofa sometimes smell odd even though it looks clean?
Odours often come from residue deep in the fabric, for example from damp, body contact or organic particles. Professional odour neutralisation works where ordinary airing cannot reach.
What should I do if slight odours return after a few days?
Occasionally, odours can come back if the sofa was very dirty deep down or dried too slowly. That is why good ventilation after cleaning is especially important.
Does sofa cleaning help in homes with allergy sufferers?
Regular cleaning can help because dust and fine particles are removed from the fabric. For severe symptoms, pay extra attention to regular airing and general hygiene in the room.
Can I put cushions and throws back straight after cleaning?
Once the upholstery is completely dry, yes. Until then, it is better to let the surface ‘breathe’ so no residual moisture is trapped.
How often should I have my carpets and upholstery cleaned?
The ideal frequency depends on use, environment and fabric. As a rule, upholstery should be cleaned thoroughly at least twice a year. Homes with pets or young children face more stains, hair and allergens, so a clean every 4 to 6 months helps keep things hygienic and prevents early wear. For people with allergies or asthma, fibres collect mites and dust that worsen symptoms, and a professional clean every 3 months improves indoor air. In high-traffic spaces, frequent contact causes visible dirt and odours, so cleaning armchairs or chairs every 1 to 2 months is important for appearance and hygiene. After building work, a move or long periods of non-use, building dust or damp call for an intensive clean. On-site upholstery cleaning refreshes fabrics without moving the furniture.

Why professional upholstery cleaning matters

A clean home starts with the details. Upholstery cleaning is not just about looks: it is about thorough hygiene, looking after your furniture and everyday wellbeing. Fabrics absorb odours, dust, allergens and stains that set in over time. Only a professional service can restore their look and function without damaging the fibres. Companies on Domestina work with modern machines, clear procedures and trained staff. Whether sofas, armchairs, chairs or mattresses, the result is fresh, hygienically clean upholstery that looks like new.

Technology, products and specialist techniques

Spray extractiona mix of water and biodegradable detergent is sprayed onto the fabric and immediately vacuumed off. This removes dirt without soaking or damaging the upholstery. Ideal for sofas, mattresses and carpets.
Upholstery foam for delicate fabricsfor delicate fabrics, a special cleaning foam is used that binds the dirt and works with little moisture. This protects the fibres and shortens drying time.
Detergents matched to the fabriceach material – velvet, linen, leather, cotton, microfibre – needs its own treatment. The products used respect the properties of each fibre and avoid discolouration, stiffness or damage.
Adapted brushes and nozzlesprofessional machines have attachments for tricky areas such as corners, seams, buttons or textured surfaces, so the whole surface is cleaned evenly.
Controlled dryingthe cleaning process leaves the furniture only slightly damp. With good ventilation it is completely dry within a few hours, with no mould or lingering smells.

Key differences between cleaning at home and professional cleaning

Deep cleaningcleaning at home only reaches the surface. Professional cleaning reaches the padding itself, removing bacteria and refreshing every fibre from within. That means real hygiene, not just a cosmetic improvement.
Specialist toolsinstead of sponges and ordinary detergents, professionals use industrial machines, precision nozzles and safe products for each fabric, reaching seams, textures and corners.
Long-lasting resultsthe effects last for months, so odours or stains do not return after a few days. A professional clean extends the life of your furniture and delays replacing it.
Less time neededa professional clean takes less than an hour per piece and achieves results that home cleaning cannot match even after hours of effort. Several pieces can be refreshed in one visit without disrupting your routine.
Avoiding lasting damagedelicate fabrics such as linen or velvet are easily damaged by the wrong products. Expertise and experience prevent shrinking, discolouration or distortion.

When to book upholstery cleaning

After a move or renovationBuilding dust or moving furniture leaves residue that’s hard to remove without professional equipment. A professional clean stops the dirt from setting in deeply.
Homes with petsPet hair, urine or other secretions penetrate the fibres and cause persistent odours. On-site upholstery cleaning is designed for exactly this, with no need to take furniture out of the house.
Allergies or breathing problems at homeIn homes with sensitive people, upholstery cleaning at least twice a year is recommended to remove bacteria, fungi and microscopic dust.
Spilt drinks or foodCoffee, wine, grease or sauces can set permanently if not dealt with quickly. Professionals on Domestina remove upholstery stains with specialist products.
Busy spacesHoliday lets get dirty quite quickly. Frequent cleaning keeps them looking cared for and prevents unpleasant odours.
