Professional Sofa & Upholstery Cleaning Services
Your sofas, armchairs, and mattresses absorb thousands of hours of daily use—accumulating invisible body oils, sweat, food spills, pet dander, and deep-seated dust mites that make expensive fabrics look dull and smell stale. Attempting to scrub upholstery with supermarket sprays often causes permanent water rings, dye bleeding, or soaked foam cushions. Spify deploys trained two-person PAYE technicians equipped with precision low-moisture upholstery extraction tools to deep-clean and sanitize your soft furnishings safely, restoring their colour and freshness without overwetting.
Low-moisture hot-water upholstery extraction and fabric restoration. Safely lift body oils, spills, pet odours, and allergens from sofas, armchairs, and mattresses.
Don't Replace Expensive Sofas—Restore Them for a Fraction of the Cost
A quality family sofa or dining set costs thousands of pounds to replace. When fabrics begin to look tired, discoloured on the armrests, or hold onto pet and cooking odours, most homeowners assume the furniture is worn out—when in reality, the fibres are simply coated in microscopic soil and oils.
DIY stain removers only push the dissolved dirt deeper into the foam cushion and leave tide marks as they dry. Spify’s commercial extraction physically pulls the contaminants out of your sofa, armchairs, dining seats, and mattresses—extending the life of your furnishings and restoring indoor hygiene at an instant flat rate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Upholstery Cleaning
How long will my sofa or mattress take to dry after cleaning?
Most upholstered sofas, armchairs, and mattresses dry within 2 to 5 hours. Because we use specialized low-moisture upholstery extraction hand tools rather than high-flow carpet wands, moisture never penetrates deep into the foam padding.
Synthetic & Microfibre Sofas: Frequently touch-dry in 2 to 3 hours.
Heavy Cotton, Linen & Mattresses: Typically take 4 to 5 hours in a ventilated or heated room.
Our team will also stage your removable cushions upright to allow air to circulate freely around all sides.
Is your extraction process safe for velvet, chenille, or delicate fabrics?
Yes. Every upholstery appointment begins with a fabric identification and colourfastness test. Our technicians calibrate the solution pH, temperature, and vacuum pressure specifically to your sofa's weave, and use soft horsehair brushes and grooming mitts to reset the pile on velvets and chenilles.
If a specific dry-clean-only silk or viscose fabric cannot be wet-extracted safely, our technician will advise you before starting any work.
Can you remove pet smells, milk spills, and dark marks on armrests?
Yes. Our enzyme pre-treatments and bactericidal deodorisers are specifically formulated to break down organic proteins, body oils, and pet odours. Unlike supermarket sprays that simply mask smells with heavy perfume, our extraction machine flushes the odour-causing bacteria and oils out of the fabric.
All pre-treatments, stain spotters, and deodorisers are included in your flat-rate price.
Are the cleaning solutions safe for my children and pets?
100% safe. We use non-toxic, biodegradable solutions followed by an acidic neutralizing rinse that extracts all soapy residue from the fabric. Once your sofa or mattress is dry, there are zero harsh chemicals or sticky detergents left behind against your skin.
It is the safest, most hygienic way to refresh the furniture your family uses every single day.
