Upholstery Cleaning

At Excel Carpet Cleaning, we know your fabric upholstery is a key investment, providing both comfort and style to your home. With daily use, it’s natural for dirt, stains, and odours to accumulate. Our professional upholstery cleaning services will restore your furniture’s appearance and extend its life, keeping your home looking and feeling fresh.

Why Regular Upholstery Cleaning is Important

Before we clean your upholstery, we carefully identify the fabric type to know which cleaning method is the correct one and to prevent damage or shrinkage. With our professional training and experience, we use the best method for cleaning each material. Most fabrics can be cleaned using a water-based cleaning method when handled correctly.

If your upholstery has stains, we recommend cleaning the entire seating area rather than spot cleaning. This ensures an even finish, avoiding areas that look noticeably cleaner than the rest.

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process

  • Fabric Identification
    Before cleaning, we assess the fabric type to ensure the proper cleaning technique is used.

  • Vacuuming
    We begin by vacuuming the entire piece to remove loose dirt and dust.

  • Pre-Treatment
    A citrus-based pre-wash with deodorisers is applied to break down stains and soils. This solution is applied using a hand mitt, allowing it to penetrate deep into the fabric.

  • Hot Water Extraction
    Using a specialised hand tool with internal jets, we extract the cleaning solution with hot water, thoroughly cleaning and deodorising the fabric. The tool’s water flow controller prevents over-wetting, safeguarding your upholstery from damage.

  • Drying Process
    Your furniture will be slightly damp after cleaning and will take a few hours to dry. We can provide turbo dryers or use terry towels to speed up drying, upon request.

Stain Removal

If you have stains on your upholstery, we can treat each one individually. However, we recommend cleaning the entire affected seating area to avoid uneven spots where the cleaned area is noticeably brighter than the rest.

Fabric Protection

To extend the life of your upholstery and make future cleaning easier, we offer a fabric protector. This acts as a barrier against future spills and stains. While it costs slightly more, fabric protection is especially beneficial for upholstery, as it can be more challenging to remove stains from fabrics compared to carpets.

Upholstery Cleaning & Protection

After cleaning, upholstery will be damp and may take a few hours to dry. To speed up the process, we can provide a turbo dryer if requested, or use Terry towels to help with drying.

We also offer upholstery protection. Similar to carpet protection, this treatment guards against future stains and spills. Although it’s slightly more expensive, it’s essential for upholstery, as stains can be harder to remove.

The Truth About Steam Carpet Cleaning

Although many people search for "steam carpet cleaners," it’s important to clarify that actual steam can cause carpets to shrink. The process most carpet cleaners use is hot water extraction, a safe and effective method that is often referred to as steam cleaning.

Why Choose Excel Carpet Cleaning

Fabric upholstery requires specialised care, and at Excel Carpet Cleaning, we are trained to identify and treat various types of upholstery materials.

Here’s how we handle different upholstery fabrics:

  • Synthetic Fabrics: We utilise safe and effective cleaning agents tailored for synthetic materials, ensuring a thorough clean without causing damage to the fabric.

  • Natural Fibres: For upholstery made from natural fibres like cotton or linen, we apply gentle cleaning solutions that preserve the fabric’s integrity while effectively removing dirt and stains.

  • Pre-Treatment for Stains: Our technicians assess any stains on the upholstery and apply specific pre-treatment solutions designed to penetrate the fabric deeply, lifting tough stains without harming the fibres.

  • Hot Water Extraction Method: We use the hot water extraction method to clean and deodorise upholstery thoroughly. Our experts carefully control moisture levels during this process to avoid over-wetting, which can lead to shrinkage or damage.

  • Drying Assistance: After cleaning, upholstery may be slightly damp and typically requires a few hours to dry. If requested, we can provide turbo dryers to expedite the drying process, ensuring your furniture is ready for use as soon as possible.

  • Fabric Protection Treatments: To help safeguard your upholstery against future stains and spills, we offer fabric protection options. This integral step maintains the upholstery's appearance and simplifies future cleaning.
