Our technicians pre-treat stains, deep clean fabric or leather using hot water extraction or low-moisture methods, then apply fabric protection if requested. Most two-seater and three-seater sofas take 45-90 minutes and dry within 2-4 hours. We service inner Melbourne from Carlton to St Kilda, plus surrounding suburbs within 35km of the CBD.

Call 0485932237 or request a quote online. Tell us your sofa type (fabric or leather), approximate size, and any specific stains or concerns. We will give you a fixed price range over the phone — $60-100 for a two-seater, $80-140 for a three-seater, $120-200 for an L-shape or sectional. You pick a time slot that works. For Melbourne metro bookings before 11am, same-day service is usually available.
Your technician arrives within the booked window and inspects the sofa before starting. We check the fabric care label, identify the fibre type (polyester, cotton blend, viscose, leather), test colourfastness in a hidden spot, and photograph any existing damage or stubborn stains. This takes 5-10 minutes. If anything changes the scope or price, we tell you now — before any work begins — and you decide whether to proceed.
We vacuum the entire sofa with a commercial upholstery attachment to remove loose dirt, pet hair, and debris from crevices. Stains get individual pre-spray matched to stain chemistry — enzyme solution for organic marks, oxidiser for tannins, solvent for grease. The pre-spray dwells for 5-10 minutes to break down embedded grime. For heavily soiled sofas, we use soft brush agitation to lift dirt from the fabric pile without damaging fibres.
For standard fabric, we use hot water extraction — injecting heated cleaning solution at 85-95°C into the fabric then immediately extracting it with powerful suction. The extraction removes the solution along with dissolved dirt, allergens, and bacteria. For delicate fabrics or 'dry clean only' labels, we use low-moisture encapsulation — a crystallising compound worked into fibres that traps dirt particles, then vacuumed out. No saturation, no drying time.
We walk you through the results while the sofa is still slightly damp so you can see stain removal outcomes clearly. If any mark remains, we discuss whether additional treatment is possible or if the stain has set permanently from age or previous DIY attempts. We position the sofa for airflow and advise on drying — typically 2-4 hours for fabric, immediate use for leather. You receive a paid invoice on the spot with our contact details for any follow-up questions within 14 days.
Melbourne has its own quirks for sofa cleaning — property mix, climate, access challenges. Here's how we adapt the work to suit.
Heritage homes, apartments, retail strips — we adapt sofa cleaning method to each building type.
Climate and humidity in Melbourne affect timing — we plan around them, not against them.
Tight streets in parts of Melbourne mean we plan equipment placement and clean-up before booking.
Every job is quoted on-site after a quick inspection, so the price is fixed with no surprises.
Every solution we use for Sofa Cleaning is plant-based, biodegradable, and free from harsh harsh solutionss. No phosphates, no optical brighteners, no synthetic fragrances. Safe for homes with babies crawling on furniture, dogs who lick cushions, and family members with harsh solutions sensitivities. Our products carry GECA environmental Skilled.
Our Sofa Cleaning team completes fibre identification training covering natural fibres (cotton, linen, wool, silk), synthetics (polyester, nylon, acrylic, olefin), and blends. They know that viscose shrinks with excess moisture, that chenille watermarks easily, and that leather needs pH-balanced products. This prevents the damage unskilled operators cause.
We use truck-mounted and portable extraction units that heat water to 90°C+ and generate 150-200 PSI pressure for deep cleaning. Suction power recovers 95% of moisture applied, leaving sofas touch-dry within hours rather than days. Hardware store hire machines operate at 40-50°C with weak extraction — the difference is visible in the dirty water we remove.
You receive a fixed quote before booking. If on-site inspection reveals something that changes scope (hidden damage, unusual fabric), we explain the adjustment and you approve it before we proceed. No surprise invoices. The price you agree to is the price you pay. Average Melbourne Sofa Cleaning costs $80-150 for a standard three-seater.
When you call 0485932237, you reach our Melbourne booking team directly. Your technician lives in City of Melbourne Council, knows Melbourne traffic, and can usually offer same-day or next-day availability. We service from Craigieburn to Frankston, Werribee to Ringwood — anywhere within 40km of the CBD.
A standard two-seater takes 30-45 minutes, a three-seater takes 45-60 minutes, and a large L-shape or sectional takes 60-90 minutes. This includes inspection, pre-treatment, cleaning, and final walk-through. Drying time after the technician leaves is typically 2-4 hours for fabric sofas with good airflow — opening windows or running a ceiling fan speeds this up. Leather sofas are ready for immediate use. If you have multiple pieces (sofa plus armchairs), expect about 20-30 minutes per additional seat.
in City of Melbourne Council, Sofa Cleaning costs $60-100 for a two-seater, $80-140 for a three-seater, and $120-200 for sectionals depending on total length and fabric type. Leather cleaning costs $100-180 including conditioning. Heavy staining or pet urine treatment adds $30-80 depending on severity. Fabric protection adds $30-50. We give you a fixed quote before booking. If on-site inspection reveals something unexpected, we explain the adjustment and you approve it before work starts. Call 0485932237 for an exact quote on your sofa.
Yes. Melbourne Couch Cleaning uses plant-based, biodegradable solutions with no harsh harsh solutionss, phosphates, or synthetic fragrances. Our products carry GECA environmental Skilled. Once the sofa is dry (2-4 hours for fabric), there is no residue that could irritate skin or harm pets who lick the cushions. We recommend keeping children and pets off the sofa until it is completely dry — mainly to avoid transferring moisture to clothes or fur, not because of any harsh solutions concern.
Most Melbourne households benefit from Sofa Cleaning every 12-18 months under normal use. If you have children under ten, pets on the furniture, or household members with asthma or dust allergies, every 8-12 months is better. High-use sofas (main TV room, work-from-home seat) accumulate body oils faster and may need cleaning annually. Light-use formal lounges can go 18-24 months. You will know it is time when seating areas look darker than armrests, when fabric feels greasy, or when sitting releases a musty smell.
Yes. If you are not Focused Results with the result, contact us within 14 days and we will return to re-treat any areas of concern at no charge. This applies to cleaning outcomes — dirt removal, odour reduction, overall appearance. We cannot 100% stain removal on old or previously treated stains, but we will be honest about expected outcomes before starting. If a stain cannot be fully removed, we tell you during the job and explain why, rather than promising results we cannot deliver.
You can try, but DIY machines create problems that often cost more to fix than professional cleaning. Hardware store machines heat water to 40-50°C — not hot enough to kill bacteria or dust mites. Their weak extraction leaves excess moisture in cushion foam, creating mould risk. Detergent residue left behind attracts dirt, making the sofa resoil faster. And without fibre identification knowledge, you risk shrinking viscose, watermarking velvet, or bleeding dyes. Professional Sofa Cleaning costs $80-150 for a three-seater. Replacing a mould-damaged or shrunk sofa costs $1,500-4,000.
Surface-level pet odour from dander and hair — yes, hot water extraction removes this effectively. Deep urine odour is more complex. If urine has soaked through fabric into the foam padding, surface cleaning will reduce but not eliminate the smell because the source remains in the foam. For urine-saturated cushions, we use enzyme treatment that breaks down uric acid crystals in the padding. This adds $50-80 to the job but addresses the source permanently. We will assess on arrival and explain what is needed honestly.
Some stains cannot be fully removed — particularly old stains that have oxidised, dye transfer stains, bleach marks, or stains that were heat-set by previous DIY attempts. During the job, we will show you the result after treatment and explain honestly whether further improvement is possible. You only pay for the work completed. We never promise 100% removal on difficult stains, but we do achieve significant improvement in most cases. Fresh stains treated within 24-48 hours have the highest removal success rate.
