Furniture Cleaning Melbourne

How much do I charge to clean your furniture?

Rather than listing rates that may not apply to your specific situation, I prefer to have a quick conversation before quoting. Estimating furniture cleaning quotations is dependant upon a number of variables — the size of the furnishing, the condition of the item, the fabric type, your location and whether you’re combining it with a mattress or carpet cleaning on the same visit. I have a standard call-out charge that covers smaller jobs within my core Melbourne service area, and for larger jobs I’ll always give you an accurate, no-obligation estimate over the phone before committing to anything (in most cases I’ll ask for photo of the item). No hidden costs, no surprises — just an honest price for an honest job.

Trust Steve Stoward – Cleaning furniture in Melbourne for 18 years

Upholstered furniture is one of those things that can look perfectly fine on the surface while quietly harbouring years of accumulated soiling deep in the fabric. The cushions you sink into every evening after work, the armchair your kids climb all over on weekends, the sofa your dog has claimed as his own — all of them are absorbing far more than most people realise. Dust mites thrive in upholstered furniture just as readily as they do in mattresses, and for households with allergy or asthma sufferers, a professionally cleaned sofa can make a noticeable difference to the air quality in your living room. My process uses the same commercial-grade HEPA filtration, steam cleaning and sanitisation treatment that I apply to mattresses — adapted for the specific fabrics, fillings and construction of your furniture to deliver the best possible result without risk of damage.

One of the things my clients appreciate most about my furniture cleaning service is that I take the time to properly assess each piece before I start. Different fabrics require different treatment — a microfibre sofa needs a different approach to a cotton blend armchair or a leather ottoman — and 18 years of hands-on experience means I can quickly identify the right process for each specific piece. Stubborn stains from food, wine, pet accidents or general use are pre-treated with targeted professional solutions before the main clean begins, giving me the best possible chance of full or significant stain removal. Most furniture is dry and ready to use within a couple of hours, and the results — a genuinely fresh, sanitised and revitalised piece of furniture — consistently surprise my clients. With over 400 five-star reviews from happy Melbourne families, I’m confident I can do the same for yours.

Why Melbourne Families Choose Steve Stoward for Furniture Cleaning

After 18 years of cleaning soft furnishings across every corner of Melbourne, I’ve built my reputation on delivering results that genuinely exceed expectations. Here’s what you can expect when you book my furniture upholstery cleaning service:

A personalised, professional assessment — I examine every piece of furniture before I start, identifying fabric type, soiling level and the most effective treatment approach for your specific situation. No two pieces of furniture are the same and I never apply a one-size-fits-all approach.

Targeted stain pre-treatment — stubborn stains from food, wine, coffee, pet accidents and general use are treated with professional-grade solutions specifically matched to the type of stain and fabric, giving me the best possible chance of full or significant removal.

Commercial-grade steam cleaning — the same powerful equipment I use on mattresses is adapted for your furniture, penetrating deep into the fabric to remove soiling, bacteria and allergens that surface cleaning simply can’t reach.

Dust mite sanitisation — my certified anti-dust mite treatment is applied after cleaning to eliminate dust mites and repel reinfestation for up to six months, making a genuine difference for allergy and asthma sufferers in the household.

Quick drying time — most furniture is dry and ready to use within a couple of hours, meaning minimal disruption to your household and your day.

Honest, upfront advice — if a stain is too old or set to be fully removed, I’ll always tell you before I start rather than overpromise. My reputation is built on honesty as much as results.

FAQ’S

What types of furniture do you clean?
I clean all types of upholstered furniture including sofas, couches, armchairs, ottomans, dining chairs, headboards, bed bases and lounge suites. If it has fabric or upholstery on it, chances are I can clean it. Just give me a call and describe what you have and I’ll let you know straight away whether it’s something I can help with.

Is steam cleaning safe for all fabric types?
Not all fabrics respond the same way to steam cleaning, which is why I always assess each piece of furniture before I start. Most common upholstery fabrics including microfibre, cotton blends, polyester and synthetic materials respond very well to my process. For more delicate fabrics I adjust my approach accordingly to ensure the best possible result without risk of damage. I’ll always give you an honest assessment before I begin.

How long does furniture cleaning take?
For a standard two or three seater sofa, the actual cleaning process typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes. Larger lounge suites or pieces with heavy soiling may take a little longer. When combined with a mattress clean in the same visit, I work efficiently to minimise the time I spend in your home while still delivering a thorough, professional result.

How long until my furniture is dry and ready to use?
In most cases your furniture will be dry and ready to use within one to two hours of cleaning. Good ventilation speeds up the drying process significantly — opening windows or pointing a fan at the furniture after I leave makes a noticeable difference. Heavily soiled pieces or thicker fabrics may take a little longer to dry completely.

Can you remove pet stains and odours from my sofa?
Yes — pet stains and odours are one of the most common things I’m called in to treat on furniture, and my success rate is very high. The key factors are how long the stain has been there and whether any home cleaning products have been applied to it previously. Fresh pet stains respond best to professional treatment, but even older stains can usually be significantly improved. I’ll always give you an honest assessment of what’s achievable before I start.

Can you remove red wine or coffee stains from upholstery?
In most cases yes, particularly if the stain is relatively recent. Red wine, coffee, tea and food stains are pre-treated with professional-grade stain removal solutions specifically matched to the type of stain and fabric before the main clean begins, giving me the best possible chance of full or significant removal. As with all stains, the sooner you call me after the spill occurs, the better the result is likely to be.

How often should I have my furniture professionally cleaned?
For most households I recommend a professional furniture clean every 12 to 18 months. If you have young children, pets, or someone in the household who suffers from allergies or asthma, every 6 to 12 months is a better target. Regular professional cleaning not only keeps your furniture looking its best but also maintains a genuinely hygienic living environment by removing the dust mites, bacteria and allergens that accumulate invisibly in upholstery fibres over time.

Can you clean my furniture and mattress on the same visit?
Absolutely — and I’d encourage it. Combining a furniture clean with a mattress clean in the same visit is a great way to refresh the entire bedroom or living area in one go, and it saves you the cost and inconvenience of booking two separate appointments. When cleaning multiple items at the same address on the same day I’m always happy to discuss pricing, so give me a call and we can work out the best arrangement for your specific situation.
