Our process typically begins with a pre-clean analysis aimed at identifying problem areas before applying any moisture, which can obscure dark spots and stains, ensuring a personalized and thorough upholstery cleaning job. We apply a proprietary, powerful pre-treatment to loosen embedded dirt, and follow that with a high-powered extraction using advanced steam cleaner technology. This method, recommended by top U.S. carpet, upholstery and fabric manufacturers leaves furniture and cushions only slightly damp and fully dry within hours.

Having your upholstery professionally cleaned helps extend the life of your furniture while keeping it looking fresh and clean. Over time, dirt, allergens, and even bacteria can build up deep in the fabric, which regular vacuuming just can’t get rid of. Professional cleaners use specialized equipment and solutions that penetrate the fabric, removing tough stains, odors, and dirt without damaging delicate materials. Plus, they know the best methods to use for different fabrics, whether it’s leather, microfiber, or other materials, ensuring your furniture is treated with care. In the long run, professional cleaning not only improves the appearance and hygiene of your upholstery but also protects your investment in your home furnishings.

FAQ

To find an upholstery cleaner near you, you can search online using terms like “upholstery cleaner near me” or ask for recommendations from friends or neighbors. It’s also helpful to check online reviews and see if the company specializes in cleaning the type of upholstery you have, like leather or fabric couches.

Cleaning a leather couch is pretty simple but needs care. First, dust the surface with a dry cloth. Then, use a mild soap and water solution to wipe the couch gently. Be careful not to soak the leather—just use a damp cloth. After cleaning, we recommend applying a leather conditioner to keep it soft and prevent cracking.

To clean a fabric couch, first vacuum it to remove dirt and dust. Then check the manufacturer’s care tag for specific instructions. For general cleaning, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure not to over-saturate the fabric. Blot stains instead of rubbing, and let it air dry completely. We advise against removing cushions as they may be difficult to get right again. Anderson Certified has the best tools for the job and our technicians provide great results.

Microfiber couches are easy to clean but can be delicate. Start by vacuuming to remove dirt. Then, use a cleaning solution specifically made for microfiber or mix rubbing alcohol and water. Spray the solution and gently scrub with a soft brush. Let it air dry, and brush it again to restore the fabric’s softness.

Steam cleaning a couch is a great way to deep clean, but it depends on the fabric. Many synthetic and microfiber couches handle steam well, but delicate fabrics like silk or some natural fibers can be damaged. Always check the care label and test a small area before steaming the entire couch.

The cost of upholstery cleaning usually depends on the size and material of the furniture. On average, cleaning a standard sofa might cost between $120 to $200, while smaller items like chairs can be around $50 to $75. Delicate fabrics or extra services, like protectant, may raise the price. Anderson will always give upfront estimates.
