Upholstery Cleaning Service for Your Home
York is a short drive up the A64 from our Leeds base, and we visit regularly for sofa, armchair and dining chair cleaning. Because we travel in, it helps to book a few days ahead – but if you have a spill, a guest arriving or a let changeover coming up, tell us and we will try to fit you in sooner.
Every job follows the same standard, whether it is a two-seater in a terrace off Bishopthorpe Road or a large corner sofa in a family home in Haxby: we check the fabric label, test for colour-fastness, pre-treat stains and only then deep clean. You get an honest answer up front about what will come out and what might not.
Upholstery Cleaning in York – Homes, Flats and Holiday Lets
We regularly clean sofas and armchairs in Acomb, Clifton, Heworth, Fulford, Huntington, Haxby, Bishopthorpe, Dringhouses and Osbaldwick, as well as in city-centre flats inside the walls.
York has a high number of holiday lets and rented flats, where furniture is used hard and needs to look fresh between guests. We can work around changeover days and clean everything in one visit. For older homes with delicate or natural fabrics, we test first and use a low-moisture method so the fibres are not over-wetted.
Deep Fabric Cleaning Process safe to your Sofa
Using high-quality equipment and professional-grade cleaning solutions from top British suppliers, we’re able to deep clean even the most heavily soiled upholstery. Our process combines steam, carefully selected detergents, manual agitation, and powerful rinsing to ensure dirt is thoroughly removed from your sofa – not just spread around. Our cleaning method can be adjusted based on the type of fabric and the level of soiling, delivering safe and effective results every time..
Ultra-short drying times delivered by pro-grade equipment.
The entire sofa-cleaning process comes down to loosening the embedded dirt and extracting it from the fabric, along with all the cleaning agents and any excess rinse water. When carried out correctly, the process should leave your upholstery only slightly moist, allowing it to dry within as little as 2 hours..
Expert Stain Removal Using Advanced Methods
Every year, each of our technicians completes several courses in advanced stain removal and fine fabric cleaning, continually developing their skills as part of our CPD programme. This ensures our knowledge of the latest stain-removal techniques is always fully up to date. The industry evolves quickly — what seemed impossible last year is becoming standard practice today. With us, you can be confident that you’re receiving the highest level of professional sofa cleaning service available near you.
Professional Odour & Urine Neutralisation
Flats inside the city walls and smaller terraced houses in York have one thing in common: smells have nowhere to go. A dog or cat accident on a sofa in a small room is noticeable within days, and it gets worse every time the heating is on.
We handle these jobs differently from a standard clean. The affected areas are located and treated with a specialist urine-neutralising product, then extracted, so the source of the odour is removed rather than covered up. Where urine has reached the padding, we treat the cushion inserts as well as the cover. Send Marek a photo first – he will tell you honestly whether the sofa can be saved.
Grooming fibres and Free Deodorisation
At the end of every upholstery cleaning, we ensure that all the fibres of the sofa are aligned in the correct direction to eliminate any signs of cleaning. This is especially important for velvet sofas, where cleaning marks can be permanent and cannot be removed except by re-wetting the sofa.
The final step is always deodorisation, using one of the many fragrances available through our upholstery cleaners. The scent will stay for a long time and with such a wide range of options, everyone is sure to find something they love.
Speed-drying & Scotchgarding available as an option
Drying in York homes
Most fabric sofas are dry within about two hours. York’s Victorian and Georgian houses and older city-centre flats can have thick walls, small windows and little airflow, so in colder months drying can take longer. Where that is the case we use our dehumidifiers and air movers to bring the time down, and we leave you clear advice on ventilation.
Fabric protector
For holiday lets and busy family sofas, a fabric protector applied after the clean makes the next spill much easier to deal with. It also helps protect colours from fading in sunny front rooms. We only recommend it when your fabric will genuinely benefit.
Fair & Affordable Pricing
Sofa cleaning prices in York
Upholstery is priced per seat, so you only pay for what you have. The minimum charge for a visit is £80, there is no deposit, and payment is taken only when the job is finished – cash or bank transfer. Landlords and holiday-let owners can have several pieces cleaned in one visit to keep the cost per item down.
For an exact quote, send a photo of the sofa and its fabric label by WhatsApp or live chat. You will usually hear back within minutes, so you know the price before we travel over.

Upholstery Cleaning Service: The 3 Main Types of Fabric We Clean
Modern fabric sofas and holiday-let furniture
Most of the upholstery we clean in York is modern synthetic fabric – family sofas, rental furniture and the hard-working suites in holiday lets. These respond very well to hot water extraction with products that are safe for children and pets. We remove food and drink spills, make-up, grease marks on armrests and the general dullness that builds up when furniture is used every day by different guests.
Delicate and natural fabrics in older homes
York’s period properties often have older or more valuable upholstery: wool, linen, cotton, velvet and viscose blends. Over-wetting these fabrics can cause shrinkage, browning or colour run, so we test first and switch to a low-moisture method where the fabric needs it. Velvet is finished by grooming the pile, so it dries even and free of marks.
Leather suites
Leather is cleaned with dedicated products, then conditioned and protected to keep it supple. This matters most for sofas near radiators or large sash windows, where leather dries out fastest.

Deep Sofa Cleaning in York for Homes, Students and Landlords
Deep cleaning removes the oils, food residue and dust mites that ordinary vacuuming leaves behind.
In York this matters most in three places. Family homes, where one sofa takes daily wear from children and pets. Student houses around Heslington, Tang Hall and Badger Hill, where furniture needs cleaning before tenants move out and deposits are returned. And holiday lets and short-stay flats, where the next guest notices every mark. In each case we use hot water extraction, done thoroughly so the fabric is clean through its depth rather than just on top.
A proper clean once or twice a year also slows down wear, because the grit that breaks down fibres is rinsed out instead of being ground in.
