Indoor Lounge Suites & Dining Chairs

Pets, children, and daily family life take a heavy toll on indoor lounge furniture. Our meticulous cleaning addresses body oils, spilled drinks, trapped pet dander, and general grimy build-up from your favourite couches, recliners, and modular suites. We also clean fabric dining chairs, bar stools, and upholstered bed heads across Christchurch homes, restoring a fresh, hygienic finish.

Commercial & Office Seating

Outdoor Furniture & Patio Cushions

Outdoor furniture in Canterbury copes with dust, high pollen counts, Nor'wester winds, fireplace soot, and summer BBQ spills. Combined with damp winter storage and muddy pet paws, outdoor fabrics quickly look tired and weathered. We specialise in restoring outdoor suites using high-pressure steam cleaning and extraction, paying careful attention to high touch-point areas, piped edges, and zip seams, so your patio area is fresh and ready for summer entertaining.

How do you protect upholstery from future stains and soiling?

We protect upholstery using MicroSeal Organic fabric protection, a permanent, non-toxic treatment that helps prevent permanent stains and reduces UV fading. It penetrates into fabric fibres (not sitting only on the outside of the fibre like other products), yet does not alter the natural texture, colour, or breathability of the material.

MicroSeal Organic is completely safe for all textile types—including delicate silk, fine wool, cotton, velvet, synthetic blends, and natural leather. Whether applied to a brand-new sofa straight from the showroom or following a deep restorative clean, it serves as the ultimate insurance policy for high-use family lounge suites. Treatment doesn’t replace care and maintenance cleans as recommended by your manufacturer but ensures your spot cleaning and professional regular cleans achieve the best result possible.

What our customers say about our upholstery cleaning

Kerry came and cleaned our couches and carpets, and I am so impressed with both services. I never knew our couches could look so clean again! He was also really mindful about keeping our front door closed at all times as we have an inside pet.

We had two grubby sofas cleaned by the team and are very pleased with the results. They were pleasant to make appointments with via texting and phone conversation. Many thanks for good service.

Upholstery and furniture cleaning FAQs


  • How often should I get my lounge suite cleaned?

    Most furniture manufacturers recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 12 to 24 months. For busy family homes with young children, indoor pets, or allergy sufferers, having high-use couches cleaned every 12 months removes accumulated body oils, dust mites, food remnants and dander before you start to wonder what colour it was when you bought it! 


  • Do you offer additional protection for upholstery?

    Yes. We apply MicroSeal Organic, a premium fabric protectant that penetrates the interior fibre matrix rather than leaving a stiff surface coating. It provides long-lasting protection against many common stains and reduces sun bleaching.


  • Can you handle tough stains and pet odours?

    Yes. We specialise in treating stubborn stains such as red wine, coffee, chocolate, ink, and pet accidents. For biological odours, we apply enzyme treatments that break down the uric acid crystals and the odour-causing bacteria.

  • Why have unexplained dark marks or lines appeared on my furniture?

    Drying times vary depending on fabric type, level of soiling, and the ventilation and ambient temperature of your home. 


    For instance:


    - Heavy cottons may take longer to dry than polyester

    - Heavily soiled seats and armrests require more intensive product use, flushing and extraction may take longer to dry than a lightly soiled suite

    - Having a warm and well-ventilated room (ie. windows left open enough to create air flow) will help the suite to dry more quickly than if the room is very cold and/or closed up


    Most suites can be used again within a few hours. 


  • How long will my upholstery take to dry after cleaning?

    Most fabric upholstery dries within 5 to 6 hours following our steam clean. Drying times depend on fabric type and density, room temperature, and ventilation. We use well-engineered upholstery tools designed to swiftly recover moisture from the fabric, to minimise moisture retention even when several wand passes are needed to clean and flush an area.

  • Do I need to vacuum the sofa before the technician arrives?

    No, you do not need to vacuum your sofa beforehand because commercial-grade dry vacuuming is built directly into our upholstery cleaning process. We thoroughly vacuum all cushions, crevices, and frame perimeters to remove loose soil before applying liquid pre-sprays.


  • What forms of payment do you accept?

    We bring mobile EFTPOS terminals to every job for easy, secure on-site payment upon completion. We accept debit cards, Visa, and Mastercard, and we also provide direct bank transfer options on completion for residential and commercial clients.
