Melbourne Couch Cleaning provides specialist armchair cleaning throughout Melbourne, VIC-3000 using eco-friendly, plant-based cleaning solutions. Our technicians assess each armchair's fabric type — whether cotton, linen, velvet, microfibre, or leather — then select the appropriate method: hot water extraction for deep soiling or low-moisture cleaning for delicate materials. Standard armchair cleaning takes 20-40 minutes per piece with drying times of 2-6 hours depending on fabric weight. Pricing starts from $45 per armchair.

You receive a confirmation text with your technician's name, arrival window (2-hour block), and a reminder 20 minutes before arrival.
Your technician inspects each armchair before any work begins. We check the fabric care code (W, S, WS, or X), test colourfastness in a hidden area, identify existing damage or wear, and document current stain locations with photos. This assessment takes 5-10 minutes per piece and determines whether sprofessionals or dry cleaning is appropriate. If we find anything that changes the scope or price, we explain it and get your approval before proceeding.
Industrial HEPA vacuuming removes loose dirt, hair, and surface debris — typically extracting 30-50 grams of particulate matter from a well-used armchair. We then apply eco-friendly pre-treatment solutions to high-contact zones (armrests accumulate 4x more body oil than seat cushions) and any visible stains. Pre-treatment dwells for 3-5 minutes, breaking down oils and loosening stain bonds before the main cleaning cycle.
For sprofessionals cleaning: we use truck-mounted hot water extraction equipment that maintains water temperature at 85-95°C throughout the process. Heated cleaning solution is injected into the fabric under controlled pressure, then immediately extracted along with dissolved dirt, allergens, and bacteria. Extraction removes 95% of moisture, leaving fabric damp rather than wet. For dry cleaning: encapsulation compound is worked into fibres using a rotary brush, allowed to crystallise around dirt particles, then thoroughly vacuumed out. The entire process takes 20-40 minutes per armchair.
We walk you through the completed work, pointing out stain removal results and any areas of concern. You receive written aftercare instructions: avoid sitting on sprofessionals-cleaned armchairs for 3-4 hours, keep windows open or fans running to accelerate drying, blot any future spills immediately rather than rubbing. Our workmanship Quality Results covers re-treatment at no charge if you are not Happiness within 7 days. We follow up by text 48 hours later to confirm everything dried properly and you are happy with the result.
Every job is quoted on-site after a quick inspection, so the price is fixed with no surprises.
"Had two fabric armchairs cleaned that my toddler had covered in food stains over the past year. The technician arrived within the quoted time window, explained exactly what he would do, and the price was exactly what I was quoted on the phone. Both armchairs look almost new — saved me replacing them which would have cost over $1,200."
"My leather recliner armchair was showing serious wear after 8 years of daily use. Melbourne Couch Cleaning did a full clean and conditioning treatment in under an hour. The leather feels supple again and the colour looks refreshed. Technician gave me tips on maintaining it between cleans. Very fair price at $85 for the complete service."
"Called about a red wine stain on my cream velvet armchair from a dinner party disaster. They talked me through what to expect honestly — said 80-90% removal was realistic given it had dried overnight. Result was even better than promised, maybe 95% gone. The armchair looks fantastic. Worth every dollar of the $75 I paid."
A single armchair takes 20-40 minutes to clean, depending on size, fabric type, and soiling level. Heavily soiled pieces with multiple stains require longer pre-treatment dwell times. For sprofessionals cleaning, add 3-6 hours drying time before the armchair is ready for use. Dry cleaning methods allow immediate use after completion. Most single-armchair appointments take under an hour including setup, cleaning, and walkthrough.
Standard fabric armchair cleaning starts at $45 per piece for lightly soiled items and ranges up to $65 for heavily soiled or oversized pieces. Leather cleaning with conditioning is $70-$95. Individual stain treatments add $15-$45 per stain. Fabric protection treatment is $25-$35 per armchair. Our minimum call-out fee is $85 — booking multiple items in one visit provides better value. We provide fixed written quotes before starting work, with no surprise additions.
Completely safe. We use only plant-based, Ecologo-Professional cleaning solutions that contain no petroformulateds, synthetic fragrances, or volatile organic compounds. These products are hypoallergenic and greywater safe. After cleaning, we recommend keeping pets and children off sprofessionals-cleaned armchairs for 3-4 hours until fully dry — not because of formulated concerns, but to allow proper drying and prevent dirt transfer to damp fabric.
For armchairs in daily use, professional cleaning every 12-18 months maintains appearance and extends fabric lifespan. Households with pets, children, or allergy sufferers benefit from 6-12 month intervals. Lightly used armchairs in formal rooms can go 2-3 years between professional cleaning. Between services, vacuum armchair surfaces weekly using an upholstery attachment — this removes surface dirt before it works into fibres.
Yes. Our 7-day Happiness Quality Results means if you notice any issue after the job — a stain we missed, uneven cleaning, lingering odour — contact us and we return to re-treat at no charge. We photograph every armchair before and after cleaning, so there is clear documentation of work completed. For stains, we assess realistically before treatment and tell you if full removal is unlikely, rather than promising results we cannot deliver.
You can vacuum armchair surfaces and blot fresh spills yourself — we encourage it. But deep cleaning requires equipment and expertise most homeowners lack. Hire machines do not generate enough suction to extract moisture properly, leaving padding wet and risking mould growth. Using the wrong cleaning product for your fabric type causes shrinkage, colour bleeding, or permanent water marks. Professional cleaning costs $45-$95 per armchair — cheaper than reupholstery or replacement when DIY goes wrong.
