A Comprehensive Leather and Fabric Upholstery Cleaning Melbourne Service
Our technicians will test the fabric before beginning to determine the proper way to clean your upholstery. We consider the fabric construction, fibre content, and dye stability in order to choose the safest, most effective method to clean your furniture. Our technician’s experience and judgement are key factors in selecting the most effective cleaning treatment.
It is also advisable to protect your couch or upholstery with an upholstery protector to shield it from re-soiling and re-staining.
We provide a comprehensive leather cleaning service. A leather cleanser is applied to remove or reduce traces of soiling from the surface of the leather hide. This is completed by hand to ensure that your valuable soft furnishing is restored to the best condition possible.
When the leather has been professionally cleaned and restored, a moisturising and conditioning cream is applied to further enhance the appearance and protect the leather from wear, tear, and spills.
How Our Upholstery Cleaning Process Works
- Fabric testing and pre-inspection - We test a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric or leather to confirm the cleaning method and solution are safe for the specific material. We assess staining, odour, and overall soiling before starting work.
- Pre-vacuuming and dry soil removal - Loose debris, pet hair, crumbs, and surface dust are thoroughly vacuumed from all upholstered surfaces before any moisture is applied, maximising the effectiveness of the deep clean.
- Pre-spray treatment - A professional pre-spray appropriate to the fabric type is applied to break down body oils, food residue, and staining agents embedded in the fibres. Spot stains receive additional targeted pre-treatment.
- Hot water extraction or dry cleaning - Depending on the fabric type and condition, we apply either hot water extraction (steam cleaning) or a low-moisture dry cleaning method to lift embedded dirt, allergens, and bacteria from the upholstery.
- Leather cleaning and conditioning - For leather pieces, the surface is hand-cleaned using a specialist leather cleanser, then finished with a moisturising and conditioning cream to restore suppleness and protect against future wear.
- Post-clean protection (optional) - An upholstery protector can be applied after cleaning to create a barrier against future staining and soiling, extending the time between professional cleans.

Why Choose a Professional Upholstery Cleaner in Melbourne?
Upholstered furniture is one of the most used surfaces in any Melbourne home, yet it’s often the last to receive professional attention. Body oils, skin cells, dust mites, and food residue build up in fabric fibres over time, contributing to allergens, odours, and a dull, worn appearance. DIY cleaning products frequently cause problems - over-wetting fabric leading to mould growth underneath cushions, or using the wrong product on leather causing fading or cracking. Our technicians are trained across all common upholstery types found in Australian homes and use methods matched to each material.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does upholstery cleaning take to dry?
Fabric upholstery cleaned by hot water extraction is typically dry within two to four hours in a well-ventilated room. Leather pieces are dry almost immediately after conditioning. We recommend opening windows and running a fan to accelerate the process. Avoid sitting on cleaned fabric until fully dry.
Can you remove red wine, coffee, or pet stains from a couch?
In most cases, yes - particularly when the stain is reasonably recent. Older or set-in stains may partially remain depending on the fabric type and how long the stain has been left untreated. Our technician will assess each stain before starting and give you a realistic expectation of results.
How often should I have my couch professionally cleaned?
For most households, once every 12 to 18 months is recommended. Homes with pets, young children, or allergy sufferers benefit from more frequent cleaning - every six to twelve months. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of your furniture and keeps it hygienic and fresh-smelling.
