Limitations & Specialist Requests

We’re transparent about what we can and cannot do to protect your items:

  • We don’t guarantee complete removal of old or set-in stains, dye transfer, or bleaching damage.
  • Genuine leather cleaning and restoration are not included; we can provide a gentle surface wipe for faux leather only. Specialist leather work may require a partner.
  • We avoid materials known to be water-sensitive or unstable (e.g., some viscose/rayon, silk, unbacked linens) unless a suitable low-moisture method is confirmed safe after testing.
  • Structural damage (broken frames, sagging cushions) is not repairable through cleaning.
  • Heavily soiled commercial seating, smoke damage, or severe odours may need staged treatments and a bespoke quote.
  • Access limitations (e.g., high floors without lift, restricted parking) may affect time on site and the method we use.

If your item needs a specialist, we’ll advise honestly and can suggest appropriate next steps.

How It Works

  1. Enquiry and guidance
    Tell us what you need cleaned, fabric types if known, and share photos if possible. We’ll outline likely methods and estimated timings based on your description.

  2. Tailored quote
    We provide a no-obligation quote considering item count, fabric type, soiling, and access. For complex sites, we may recommend a brief site visit.

  3. Booking and confirmation
    Choose a suitable slot. We offer appointments across CR7 postcodes and will confirm your booking by email with simple preparation tips.

  4. On-site assessment
    On arrival, we inspect the items, identify fabric/fibre type where possible, and perform colourfast tests. We’ll confirm the plan before starting.

  5. Preparation and protection
    We vacuum thoroughly, move small items where safe, and protect adjacent flooring. Cushion covers remain on unless manufacturer instructions state removable and washable.

  6. Cleaning process
    Depending on fabric:

  • Hot water extraction (HWE) for durable fibres to flush out soils.
  • Low-moisture or encapsulation for water-sensitive textiles.
  • Targeted stain and odour treatments applied as appropriate.
  • Fibre grooming for a uniform finish.
  1. Drying and aftercare
    We accelerate drying with airflow where practical and advise realistic drying times for upholstery cleaning in your specific conditions. We’ll share aftercare tips to keep results lasting.

  2. Follow-up support
    If you have questions after the visit, our team is available. For routine maintenance, we can book periodic cleans or add upholstery to your regular cleaning plan.

FAQs

What should I do before you arrive?
Please clear small items from the seating and nearby surfaces, remove throws or loose cushions, and ensure access to power and water. If parking is restricted in Thornton Heath, let us know.

Can you remove every stain?
No company can promise that. Age, dye transfer, bleaching, and fibre damage limit outcomes. We pre-test and explain what improvement is realistic before proceeding.

How long does upholstery take to dry?
Typical fabrics cleaned with hot water extraction can feel touch-dry in a few hours, but this varies with room temperature, humidity, ventilation, and pile density. Low-moisture methods dry faster. We’ll advise estimated drying times for upholstery cleaning on the day.

Is the process safe for children and pets?
Yes, when carried out correctly. We use fabric-appropriate solutions and rinse thoroughly. Keep children and pets away from the area until items are fully dry and walkways are clear.

Do you clean leather sofas?
We do not provide specialist leather restoration. We can gently surface-clean faux leather; for genuine leather, we’ll recommend a specialist if required.

Can you help with pet hair and odour removal?
Yes. We use thorough vacuuming, agitation, and targeted odour treatments to address pet hair and odours. Results depend on fabric type and the source of the smell.

Do you offer commercial upholstery cleaning?
Absolutely. We service offices, reception areas, gyms, restaurants, and retail seating across Thornton Heath and CR7. We can provide RAMS and work outside trading hours where available.
