Fabrics and Furniture We Clean
Sofas, sectionals, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans and loose cushions in cotton, linen, microfibre and similar synthetic-blend fabrics are all cleaned using extraction methods suited to upholstery-weight material – each piece assessed individually, since a single sectional can combine two or three different fabric types across cushions, backs and frames. Cushions are cleaned in place rather than removed for off-site treatment, and zippers, buttons and decorative trim are worked around carefully rather than treated the same as the main fabric field. Leather is a different category with its own care requirements and is assessed separately.
How We Match the Method to the Fabric
Fabric type, colourfastness and how the piece is constructed all affect which cleaning approach is used. Furniture fabric also carries a manufacturer cleaning code – W for water-based solutions, S for solvent-only, WS for either, and X for vacuum-only – and that code is checked before any cleaning starts, since a water-based solution on an S-coded fabric can cause shrinkage, staining or water rings. Cushions are typically cleaned on both sides and given time to dry fully before being flipped or placed back on the frame.

When the Fabric Code Isn't Visible
Not every piece has a manufacturer tag, and older, custom-upholstered or antique furniture often doesn’t carry one at all. In that case a hidden-area test does the work the tag normally would: a small amount of solution is applied to an inconspicuous spot – the underside of a cushion or the back of an arm – and checked for colour transfer, shrinkage or texture change before the full piece is treated. If a fabric reacts poorly to testing, we’ll say so and discuss options rather than proceeding on furniture that could be damaged by any wet-cleaning method.
How Often Upholstery Needs Cleaning
Household furniture in regular use generally benefits from a professional clean every twelve to eighteen months, though pieces exposed to pets, kids or heavy daily use often need it more often. Watching for early signs – dulled colour, flattened texture in high-use spots, or a faint odour that lingers after the room has been aired out – is a better guide than sticking to a fixed calendar, since usage varies so much between households.
Drying Time for Upholstery
Upholstery generally dries faster than carpet since less solution is used per square foot, but airflow around the piece still matters – a fan or open window nearby speeds things along. Most fabric furniture is safe to sit on again within a few hours once the surface is dry to the touch, though cushions should stay off the frame a little longer if they were cleaned on both sides.
Carpet Cleaning Ottawa provides upholstery, sofa and couch cleaning throughout Ottawa, ON. Furniture fabric varies a lot more than carpet does, so the method used is chosen based on what the piece is actually made of rather than a single default approach for everything.
Most cotton, linen and microfibre-style upholstery fabrics can be safely cleaned with an extraction method – a hidden-area test confirms colourfastness before the full piece is cleaned. Leather is handled differently and should be discussed separately.
How long before I can use the furniture again?
Upholstery typically needs several hours to fully dry, and it's best to avoid sitting on damp cushions until they're dry to the touch.
Do you clean cushions and pillows separately?
Yes, cushions are usually cleaned on both sides as part of the process and given time to dry before being placed back on the frame.
Can you remove pet hair or odour from furniture?
Pet hair is worked loose and removed as part of the cleaning pass, and odour-causing residue is addressed through the same extraction process used on the fabric.
