About our upholstery cleaning

How Royal handles upholstery cleaning

Royal Carpet Cleaners cleans upholstered furniture on-site, so nothing has to leave your home. We start by identifying the fabric and finish. That decides the safest method for the material, whether it's synthetic microfiber, cotton, or a delicate or heirloom fabric.

Each piece is pre-vacuumed, spots and arm and headrest areas are pre-treated, and the fabric is cleaned with hot water extraction suited to it, followed by a deodorizer. Fabric protector is optional. Most upholstery is dry enough to use within 4 to 6 hours.

Furniture we clean

  • Sofas and loveseats

    Cushions, arms, and backs cleaned and deodorized.

  • Sectionals

    Every section cleaned in place, without moving heavy pieces out of the room.

  • Chairs and recliners

    Accent chairs, recliners, and ottomans.

  • Dining chairs

    Fabric seats and backs, pre-treated for food and drink spots.

  • Fabric protector (optional)

    Applied after cleaning to help repel future spills.

Free deodorizer with every job

The Royal upholstery cleaning Process.

Sofas, sectionals, dining chairs, recliners, ottomans, and mattresses — handled with the right chemistry, modern equipment, and care for the materials you live with.

Fabric Inspection

Every job starts with identifying your upholstery's fiber, finish, and colorfastness. We match the safest chemistry to the material — no shrinkage, watermarks, or color bleed.

Pre-Vacuum

Detailed vacuuming of cushions, seams, crevices, and the underside of every piece. Dry particulates come out first so they can't turn to mud during extraction.

Pre-Treatment

Fiber-safe spotters worked into stains, traffic areas, body oils, and pet zones. Each spot is dwell-treated so it lifts cleanly without aggressive scrubbing.

Hot-Water Extraction

Professional truck-mounted extraction flushes the fabric deeply but gently. Embedded soil, allergens, and bacteria come out — upholstery is left soft and fresh.

Post Deodorizer

A free deodorizer is included on every job. Choose from several fragrances — we neutralize odors at the source rather than masking them.

Optional Fabric Protector

Recommended for upholstery you actually live with. An invisible barrier shields against stains, spills, and UV fade — your furniture stays newer, longer.

“By far the best carpet and upholstery company I have ever used. Peter is professional, thorough, responsive, and gives you his honest opinion whether it makes sense or not to clean or replace the carpet/upholstery.

“Highly recommend Royal Carpet Cleaners! We had our sectional sofa (plus 2 dining chairs and carpet in an office space) cleaned. We live a busy life with 2 toddlers and 2 dogs and needed help with the sofa in our main living space because it gets so much use. Peter was so thorough in answering my questions and concerns…”

FAQ

Upholstery Cleaning questions

Do you clean furniture in my home?

Yes. Upholstery cleaning is done on-site, so your furniture stays in place and there's no pickup or delivery.

How long does upholstery take to dry?

Most upholstery is dry enough to use within 4 to 6 hours. Delicate fabrics or heavy soil can take longer, and we'll tell you before we start.

Will cleaning shrink or discolor my fabric?

We identify the fabric before we clean and match the method and chemistry to it, which prevents shrinkage, watermarks, and color loss.

Are your products safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use low-VOC solutions that are effective on stains and odors while remaining safe for children, pets, and sensitive fabrics.
