Professional upholstery cleaning in Southampton
Upholstery cleaning covers more than sofas. Armchairs, dining chairs and other fabric furniture collect the same grit, spills and everyday wear, often in rooms you sit in every day.
We inspect the fabric first, then clean with controlled moisture rather than a hire machine. If the sofa is the only piece that needs doing, our dedicated sofa cleaning in Southampton page is the better place to start.

What we clean
Fabric furniture in living rooms, dining rooms and spare rooms. Sofas have their own page because that is usually a different search and a different quote.
Armchairs
Single chairs that take daily use, including arms and seats that collect body oils and grit.
Dining chairs
Seat pads and fabric backs that pick up food marks and shoe scuffs around the table.
Fabric furniture
Other fabric-covered pieces we can reach with our extraction equipment after a fabric check.
Leather furniture
Leather is cleaned and conditioned, not soaked. Tell us it is leather when you book so we plan the visit properly.
Sofas
We do clean sofas. For corner units, sectionals and sofa-only jobs, use the sofa cleaning page.
Mixed rooms
Chairs plus a sofa in the same room can often be done on one visit. Mention both when you request a price.
Common problems we help with
These are typical furniture jobs, not a promise that every mark will disappear.
Tired fabric
Seats and arms go dull from daily contact. A proper extraction clean lifts soil that vacuuming leaves behind.
Food and drink marks
Dining chairs and living-room seating pick up spills. We treat the mark, then say if it looks like dye loss rather than soil.
Lingering smells
Food, pets and general use can sit in the filling as well as the cover. We treat what we can reach and stay honest if the padding is the real issue.
How our upholstery cleaning works
Four steps, with the method matched to the fabric we find on the day.
1
Inspection
We check fibre type, wear and any marks you care about, including a hidden-area test where it is needed.
2
Preparation
Loose grit comes out first. Spots get a pre-treatment suited to the soil, not a generic spray.
3
Cleaning
Hot water extraction is our usual method for most domestic fabrics. Leather follows a gentler clean and condition.
4
Final check
We groom the pile, reclean realistic spots, and leave simple drying advice.
Furniture is usually dry to the touch within a few hours. Keep children and pets off until the fabric feels dry. We do not promise a fixed drying time.
Professional equipment and cleaning methods
We use professional extraction equipment, not a supermarket hire machine. That gives better soil removal and more control over how wet the fabric gets.
A hidden test comes first on unknown fabrics. If a piece looks unsafe to wet-clean, we will say so rather than push on.
Stubborn spots can be booked with our carpet and upholstery stain removal approach on the same visit where it makes sense.

Only claims already used on this website.
Local service
A Southampton team with more than ten years of local experience, not a national call centre.
Careful inspection
Fabric type comes before water. We would rather refuse an unsafe clean than damage a piece.
Clear expectations
Some marks are soil. Some are dye loss. We will say which we think it is before you pay for a miracle.
Furniture in Southampton homes
Most of this work is in living rooms and dining rooms: family houses, flats and rented furniture that has had a few years of use. We do not list every neighbourhood here.
If you also want carpets done, start on the carpet cleaning Southampton homepage. Pet smells in chairs can be booked with pet odour treatment. Rugs that sit on hard floors have a separate rug cleaning page.
Coverage by area is on Areas We Cover.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my upholstery professionally cleaned?
Busy homes with children or pets often book every 12 to 18 months. Quieter rooms can wait longer. The fabric and how the room is used matter more than a fixed calendar.
Do you clean dining chairs as well as larger furniture?
Yes. Dining chairs are a normal part of upholstery work. Mention how many seats when you ask for a quote.
Is leather included?
Yes, with a leather-safe clean and condition rather than a full wet extraction. Tell us it is leather so we do not plan a fabric method.
Can you remove every mark?
No. Fresh soil often improves. Old dye loss and bleach marks do not come back with cleaning. We will say what looks realistic on inspection.
