Sofa cleaning
Cleaning a sofa costs on average between €248 and €308, depending on the type of sofa and the degree of soiling. Professional cleaning removes deep-seated dirt and stains and helps to maintain the quality of your upholstery for longer.
Cleaning a sofa is a specialized job. Through daily use, skin oils, dust and other impurities accumulate in the upholstery. Superficial cleaning is usually not enough.

What exactly does sofa cleaning involve?
Sofa cleaning is a deep clean of the upholstery of your sofa using professional equipment. This includes:
Ingrained stains are treated
Dirt is removed from the fibers
Bacteria and allergens are reduced
Odours are neutralized
The original color is refreshed

Bench cleaning per sofa type
Not every sofa requires the same approach. The cleaning of a sofa set is tailor-made. The construction, the material, the filling and the degree of use determine which cleaning technique is most suitable.
During professional sofa cleaning, we assess, among other things
the type of sofa (corner sofa, 2-seater, 3-seater or U-shaped sofa)
the type of fabric and color fastness
The intensity of use
the type of soiling
On this basis, we coordinate the treatment so that your sofa is cleaned safely and effectively.
Cleaning corner sofas
Cleaning a corner sofa requires special attention due to its modular structure. Corner sofas consist of several parts with connecting seams where dust and dirt easily accumulate.
In addition, one seating area is often used more intensively than the others, which can lead to differences in color or uneven wear.
We therefore pay particular attention to this when cleaning:
Transitions between elements
Deep seams and edges
Intensively used seating areas
In this way, we ensure an even and clean end result over the entire surface.
Cleaning 2- or 3-seater sofas
When cleaning a two- or three-seater sofa, the main focus is usually on the armrests, headrests and fixed seat surfaces. Skin grease and dust accumulate most quickly in these areas. These stains are often not immediately visible, but they do cause stains:
Dull or darker stains
Accumulation of grease in the fabric
A less fresh appearance
A targeted deep clean removes these signs of use and helps the sofa to retain its original appearance.
Have your sofa cleaned
Cleaning a fabric sofa requires a special approach, as textile covers absorb dirt and moisture differently than leather or artificial leather, for example. The fiber structure of fabrics ensures that dust particles, dander and grease gradually accumulate in the upholstery.
Through daily use, this dirt is pressed deeper and deeper into the fabric, especially in the case of fixed seats and armrests. This can cause the upholstery to
Look duller
Feel rough or greasy
Localized discoloration
Retain an odor
During professional cleaning, we first assess the type of fabric. Based on this, we select the right method and cleaning solution. The dirt is then loosened from the fibers and removed with a strong extraction.
In this way, the fabric is thoroughly cleaned without damaging the fibers or the color. The result is a visibly fresher sofa and a longer life for the upholstery.
Sofa cleaning with pets
Do you have a dog or cat? Then your sofa has to put up with a lot. Hair, odors, mud and accidents penetrate deep into the fabric.
If there are odors from pets, it is often not enough to clean the sofa yourself. A professional deep clean ensures this:
Hair and dander are effectively removed
odor-causing bacteria are eliminated
the fabric smells fresh again
Allergens are reduced
For households with pets, we recommend an annual professional cleaning.
Table cleaning vs. self-cleaning
Self-cleaning your sofa can be done for light, fresh stains. In practice, however, it often causes problems.
Self-cleaning of the sofa
Superficial cleaning
Risk of rings due to wet cleaning
Time-consuming
Insufficient suction
Have the sofa professionally cleaned
Deep cleaning
Safe method using professional equipment
completed within 1-2 hours
Thorough removal of dirt
Professional sofa cleaning avoids these risks and significantly extends the life of your sofa.

How often should you have your sofa cleaned?
A frequently asked question is how often a sofa should be professionally cleaned. In an average household, we recommend having your sofa cleaned every 12 to 18 months.
More frequent cleaning is advisable for intensive use, e.g. if you have pets or small children in the house, if the sofa is used intensively on a daily basis or if you suffer from allergies.
Cleaning your sofa regularly prevents dirt from accumulating and significantly extends the life of your sofa.
What happens if you don't have your sofa cleaned?
Many people wait too long to have their sofa professionally cleaned. This can:
Dirt becomes permanently embedded in the fibers
The fabric wears out more quickly
Discolored stains appear
Odors are difficult to remove
Significantly shorten the life of your sofa
Having a sofa professionally cleaned is often cheaper than replacing a prematurely worn sofa.
Frequently asked questions about sofa cleaning
How long does sofa cleaning take?
