Indoor Lounge Suites & Dining Chairs

Pets, children, and daily family life take a heavy toll on indoor lounge suites.

We also clean dining chairs, bar stools, and fabric headboards across Christchurch homes, restoring a clean, hygienic finish.

Outdoor Furniture & Patio Cushions

Outdoor furniture in Christchurch copes with dust, pollen, chimney soot, air pollution, and summer BBQ spills. Combined with damp winter weather and pet paws, outdoor fabrics quickly look tired and weathered. We specialise in restoring outdoor suites using high-volume thermal steam extraction, paying careful attention to piped edges, zip seams, and thick cushion padding so your patio area is ready for entertaining.

How do you protect upholstery from future stains and wear?


We protect upholstery using Microseal Organic fabric protection, a permanent, non-toxic barrier shield that guards against liquid spills, oil stains, and UV fading. It penetrates deep into fabric fibres without altering the natural texture, color, or breathability, giving you time to blot up accidental spills before they absorb.


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 or following a deep restorative clean, it serves as the ultimate insurance policy for high-use family lounge suites. Combine this with our full carpet cleaning for total indoor surface protection.

We Understand Fibre Chemistry

Upholstery fabrics like wool, cotton, linen, silk, and leather all have unique pH tolerances and moisture sensitivities. We carefully assess your furniture's weave and backing before cleaning to ensure the safest, most effective method (including dry-clean-only options).

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?

    You should have your lounge suite professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months to remove trapped skin oils, fine dust, and allergens. High-use family sofas or homes with pets and children benefit from cleaning every 6 to 9 months to prevent abrasive dirt from grinding down fabric fibres.


  • Can you clean leather sofas and chairs?

    Yes, we are the Canterbury applicators for the Premium Surface Protection NZ whose leading product is Microseal Organic.


    Microseal Organic is suitable for all fibres and textiles, and is highly recommended by designers and Christchurch's leading furniture retailers and manufacturers.


    For information on Microseal Organic's benefits and applications go to www.premiumsurfaceprotection.co.nz 


    For a quote or estimate, you can enquire with Premium Surface Protection or contact us direct on 0800 566 576 






  • Do you offer additional protection for upholstery?

    Yes, we offer Microseal Organic fabric protection to seal upholstery against permanent liquid stains, dirt absorption, and UV sun damage. This eco-friendly treatment coats every individual fibre, allowing accidental drink spills to bead up on the surface for easy blotting.


  • Can you handle tough stains and pet odours?

    Yes, our technicians use targeted emulsifiers and thermal extraction to break down stubborn spills, body oils, and pet accidents. For persistent pet urine issues or deep-seated smells, explore our dedicated carpet stain and odour treatment options.

  • 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 upholstered furniture dries within 4 to 8 hours following our high-volume extraction clean. Drying times vary depending on fabric thickness, relative humidity, and airflow; keeping room heating on or opening nearby windows will speed up drying.

  • 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 accept Mobile EFTPOS, major credit cards, and direct internet banking transfers. Payment is conveniently processed on-site upon completion of the job.Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information.
