The service at a glance
Furniture and upholstery we can assess
We agree the work for your home before you book. Specialist extras are discussed separately.
Sofas, armchairs & corner units
Furniture size is only part of the quote. A sectional sofa, chaise or loose-cushion design can involve more surfaces than a straight sofa with the same number of seats. Describe the layout and which parts need cleaning.
- Seat, back and arm areas identified
- Loose cushions and additional sections confirmed
- Fabric and construction assessed before treatment
Dining chairs & upholstered seating
Dining chairs can collect food splashes and contact soil on both the seat and back. Tell us the number of chairs and whether the upholstery covers only the seat or additional surfaces, so the quoted work matches the furniture.
- Quantity and upholstered surfaces confirmed
- Care instructions and previous cleaning discussed
- Delicate finishes protected through the agreed approach
Fabric marks & localised stains
Wine, coffee, food, grease and pet-related marks are assessed according to the material and what caused the problem. A targeted treatment may be appropriate, but a whole panel can need cleaning to avoid a sharp contrast with surrounding soil.
- Cause, age and previous treatments discussed
- Patch testing where appropriate to the material
- No blanket promise that every mark will disappear

A closer look at the service
Sofa and upholstery cleaning in London
Sofas and armchairs pick up everyday contact soil in the places used most: armrests, headrests, seat cushions and the front edge of a favourite chair. Food and drink spills create a different problem again. Crown Cleaners provides upholstery cleaning in London for customers who want their furniture assessed and cleaned with attention to its fabric and construction.
Professional sofa cleaning can address accumulated dirt and suitable stains, but it cannot repair abrasion, colour loss or damaged fabric. We explain the likely result and agree the scope and quote before the visit. If you also need carpets or a mattress cleaned, request those as separate items in the same enquiry.
From enquiry to aftercare
How our upholstery cleaning service works
-
Identify the furniture and fabric
We check the care information, construction, colour and condition, and discuss the marks you want addressed. Let us know about delicate fabrics, previous treatments or concerns about the filling.
-
Prepare and assess treatment
The accessible cleaning area is prepared and loose dirt is removed as appropriate. Stains and heavier contact areas are considered individually before products are applied.
-
Clean the agreed surfaces
The technician uses a method suited to the furniture and the assessment. Where extraction is appropriate, an upholstery tool is used with attention to moisture and the construction beneath the fabric.
-
Discuss drying and use
We review the cleaned areas, explain any remaining marks and provide aftercare advice. Allow the furniture to dry fully before normal use and follow the guidance for cushions and ventilation.
Know what to expect
Fabric suitability and stain treatment
Steam cleaning is not suitable for every sofa
Upholstery steam cleaning usually refers to an extraction method, but it should not be chosen from a photograph of the fabric alone. Some fibres, dyes and constructions are sensitive to moisture or products. A removable cover is not automatically machine washable, and a care code can restrict treatment. Share labels and any manufacturer information, then let us confirm the suitable service rather than assuming every sofa can be wet-cleaned.
Armrests, odours and permanent changes
Greasy armrests and headrests may need different attention from a fresh drink spill. Odours can involve the fabric, filling or a source beneath the visible surface. We discuss those factors before promising a result. Wear, fading and dye damage remain material changes even after dirt is removed. For a particular spill, see stain removal or our guide to cleaning sofa arms.
Make the visit work for you
Planning the right sofa cleaning visit
Before your sofa cleaning appointment
Clear small items and fragile belongings from the seating area and provide a safe route to the furniture. Tell us about stairs, limited parking or rooms that are difficult to access. Explain whether you need loose cushions, a chaise section or additional chairs included; a general sofa description can otherwise leave the scope unclear.
Plan around drying as well as the appointment itself. Fabric, filling, ventilation and the chosen treatment can all affect when seating is ready to use. For a property handover, ask for upholstery work alongside your end of tenancy clean; vacuuming furniture and deep upholstery cleaning are different services.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will you clean my sofa or other upholstery?
We assess the fabric, construction, care label, colourfastness and condition before choosing the method. Where suitable, the process can include vacuuming, targeted stain treatment and hot water extraction. Not every natural or synthetic fabric is suitable for wet cleaning; we confirm any limits before work.
Can you remove old upholstery stains?
Complete stain removal cannot be promised. Results depend on the substance, material, age of the stain and previous treatments; permanent discolouration or damage may remain. Tell us what caused the mark and what has already been applied so we can assess it before treatment.
How long will the appointment take?
A three-piece suite may take around an hour, but extra cushions, condition, access and difficult marks can extend the visit. Tell us the items and send photographs where useful so we can estimate your appointment.
When can I use my sofa after cleaning?
Wait until the upholstery is fully dry. Drying can take several hours or longer depending on fabric, filling, treatment, temperature and airflow. The technician will advise after assessing the furniture; avoid replacing cushions or using damp upholstery before it has dried.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Clear small belongings and fragile items from the working area. Tell us about furniture that restricts access; only suitable light items may be moved where safe and agreed. Heavy, fragile, fitted and electrical items need a separate arrangement. We confirm any preparation and water or electricity requirements with your booking.
What if someone is sensitive to cleaning products?
Tell us about sensitivities, pets and any product or care-label restrictions before booking. We select products for the material and follow their use instructions. Keep children and pets away from the working area and follow the technician’s drying, ventilation and reuse advice; no cleaning product is suitable for every person or material.
How are the price and payment agreed?
Tell us the furniture type, size, number of seats or cushions, fabric and condition. We confirm the scope, price, optional protection and any applicable access charges before booking. See our cleaning prices. The full agreed price is payable before cleaning starts. We accept card payment through our payment link, bank transfer, or cash on arrival before work where agreed in advance. Your booking confirmation sets out the payment arrangements.
What should I do if I have a concern or think something was damaged?
Contact our office with your booking reference, a description of the issue and photographs where available. We investigate the circumstances and explain the next steps under our booking terms. Please retain the affected item and relevant evidence while the issue is assessed.
