Services
Ten services, each with its own method
Fabric fails differently from leather, and velvet fails differently from both. These pages explain what actually goes wrong with each material, what we do about it, and what it costs.
Fabric sofa cleaning
Hot water extraction for cotton, linen, chenille and microfibre settees.
Most fabric sofas in London are not dirty in the way people expect. They are loaded. Years of skin oils, hair product, takeaway grease and fine city dust settle into the weave and bind to the fibre, and the result is a seat cushion that has quietly gone two shades darker than the back it sits against. You only notice when you pull a cushion off and see the original colour underneath.
£55–£85Read moreCorner sofa cleaning
Large L-shapes, modular units and recliner corners, cleaned module by module.
A corner sofa is not simply a bigger sofa. It is the piece of furniture the whole household lives on, which means it carries three or four times the traffic of a two-seater and wears unevenly — one end pristine, the return end greyed out where everyone sits, and a corner seat that has become a dumping ground for crumbs, remote controls and pet hair.
£110–£160Read moreLeather sofa cleaning
pH-correct cleaning and re-conditioning for pigmented, semi-aniline and aniline hides.
Leather does not get dirty so much as it gets tired. The finish on a pigmented hide is a thin protective film, and every time someone sits down in a cotton shirt on a warm evening, body oil and perspiration work at that film. Head rests go dark first, then the front edges of the seats, then the arm tops. Ten years in, a white leather sofa reads grey and nobody can point to a single stain.
£70–£100Read moreVelvet sofa cleaning
Low-moisture cleaning for velvet and crushed velvet without pile damage.
Velvet is the fabric people are most frightened of, and they are right to be careful. The pile is a forest of short upright fibres, and what you see is not really colour — it is light bouncing off the direction those fibres are lying. Crush them, wet them unevenly, or dry them the wrong way and you get shading: permanent-looking light and dark patches that have nothing to do with dirt.
£65–£95Read moreArmchairs & dining chairs
Dining sets, nursing chairs, wingbacks, bar stools and office chairs.
Upholstered dining chairs take more abuse per square inch than any sofa in the house. They sit under plates, they catch every splash, and pale linen-look seat pads show a water ring from a single wet glass base. Six chairs around a table will usually have six different histories written on them.
£15–£25Read moreCarpet cleaning
Room-by-room hot water extraction with traffic-lane and stain work.
Carpet soil is mostly not a stain. It is dry grit — city dust, garden soil, skin and fibre — sitting down at the base of the pile where it abrades the fibre every time someone walks on it. That is why a carpet does not simply look dirty as it ages; it looks worn, dull and flat, because it genuinely is being sanded from underneath.
£45–£65Read moreStairs & landings
Treads, risers, nosings and spindle edges — the dirtiest carpet in any house.
Stairs are the hardest-working carpet in a house by a wide margin. Every journey through the property crosses them, the whole load lands on the nosing — the front edge of each tread — and there is nowhere for the soil to spread out. That is why a staircase can look filthy while the landing at the top of it still looks fine.
£70–£100Read moreStains & odours
Red wine, pet accidents, sickness, coffee, biro and lingering smells.
Stain work is a different job from cleaning. A general clean removes the soil that is sitting across a whole surface; a stain is a single defined event with its own chemistry, and treating it correctly depends entirely on what it actually is.
£15–£30Read moreEnd of tenancy
Check-out cleans with the itemised receipt agents ask for.
Carpet and upholstery cleaning is one of the most common deductions from a London tenancy deposit, and one of the most commonly disputed. Tenancy agreements usually require carpets to be "professionally cleaned" at check-out, and inventory clerks look specifically at traffic lanes, stair nosings, sofa seat cushions and mattress condition.
£95–£140Read moreCommercial & offices
Offices, bars, restaurants, salons, care homes and letting portfolios.
Commercial upholstery is a volume problem rather than a difficulty problem. Forty identical task chairs, a restaurant's banquette seating, or a hotel lounge full of tub chairs are each straightforward individually — the challenge is doing them consistently, quickly, and at a time that does not stop the business trading.

How we clean
Seven steps, in this order, every time
The order is the method. Most of what goes wrong in this trade — patchiness, browning, shrinkage, a smell that comes back — comes from skipping a step or doing two of them the wrong way round.
- 01
Fibre test before anything else
We check the cleaning code, identify the fibre and test colourfastness on a hidden seam. This is the step that decides the method — and the step that prevents shrinkage, dye bleed and crushed pile.
- 02
Dry soil removal
A HEPA-filtered vacuum lifts the grit, hair and dust sitting at the base of the pile. Skip it and water turns that grit into mud and drives it deeper. Most of the weight we remove comes out at this stage, dry.
- 03
Pre-spray and dwell
An alkaline pre-spray breaks the bond between oily soil and the fibre. It needs time to work — usually eight to ten minutes. Rushing the dwell is why a fast clean looks fine wet and disappointing dry.
- 04
Agitation
Soft-brush or hand-tool agitation gets the solution through the full depth of the fibre and loosens what the pre-spray has released. Gentle on velvet and wool, firmer on polypropylene and heavy traffic lanes.
- 05
Hot water extraction
High-temperature rinse in, dirty solution straight back out. We put in the least moisture that will do the job and recover far more than we put in, because over-wetting causes browning, shrinkage and slow drying.
- 06
Spot and odour work
Anything still visible gets its own treatment matched to the stain type — tannin, protein, dye or oil. Odour is treated at the source with an enzyme, not covered with fragrance.
- 07
Groom and dry
The pile is groomed so it dries in one direction and the tone stays even. Air movers cut drying to a fraction of the time. Upholstery is usually dry in three to five hours, carpet in two to four.
If a fabric cannot be cleaned safely, we say so on the doorstep and do not charge you.
