More about upholstery cleaning

First, the tag

Four letters decide how your furniture gets cleaned

Tucked under a cushion or stapled inside the frame is a small tag with a cleaning code. W fabric can take a water-based clean. S fabric cannot; water leaves rings on it, so it gets a solvent-based method. WS takes either, and the technician picks whichever suits the soil. X is vacuum only, and the technician will say so plainly if that is what you have.

Your technician reads that code before deciding anything else, then looks the piece over with you: the arms and headrest where oils build up, the cushion the kids claim, any spot that worries you. The price goes in writing before the work begins, and the method follows the fabric, never the other way around.

A gray upholstered sofa

What we clean

If it has a fabric cover, it is on the list

A fabric sofa

Sofas and sectionals

Every cushion, both sides, plus the arms, back and skirt. A sectional is cleaned piece by piece so no seam gets missed, and the chaise end gets the same attention as the seats.

A cozy white fabric sofa

Chairs, recliners and ottomans

Dining chair seats and backs, armchairs, recliners cleaned in place with the footrest down, and the ottoman that doubles as a coffee table and shows it.

Elegant white upholstered sofas

Mattresses and headboards

Dust, skin flakes and dander vacuumed out, spots treated, and the surface cleaned with the same gentle process. Dry in about an hour, so the bed is made up again by evening.

Pets on the furniture

Hair, dander and the smell that comes with them

A couch that a dog sleeps on carries three things: hair in every seam, dander worked into the weave, and an oily smell that a blanket only hides. The hair comes off first with a thorough vacuum, because damp hair mats and smears. Then the clean lifts the oils and dander out of the fabric, and the smell goes with them.

An actual accident on a cushion is a different job, and we have the tool for it. The protein and enzyme treatment we use on carpet works on upholstery too, breaking the source down so the odor cannot return, and it comes with our 100% pet odor removal guarantee. Our pet stain and odor removal page explains how it works.

The clean and the drying

Sit down again the same afternoon

Fabric is less forgiving than carpet. Soak a cushion and the core holds water for days, the fabric can shrink or ring, and whatever soap went in stays in. Our method keeps the fabric only lightly damp: a measured amount of solution loosens the body oil and grime, and absorbent pads lift it off the surface along with the soil.

That is why a LocalPro sofa is dry in about an hour instead of two days, and why it does not turn tacky a week later. With nothing sticky left in the weave, the arms and seat hold their clean look about three times as long as fabric given a traditional steam cleaning. Everything we use is non-toxic and safe for the kids and pets who will be back on the cushions by evening.

Price and promise

In writing before we start, guaranteed after we leave

A standard sofa typically starts around $160, and a loveseat starts lower. Sectionals, chairs and mattresses are priced by the piece once the technician has seen them, and every item goes on the written price you approve before the work begins. Our pricing guide has the rest of the sheet.

Then the guarantee takes over. Love the clean or it's free: show us anything you would like done again and the technician cleans it again at no charge, and if the second try still falls short of right, that piece costs you nothing. The promise is the same in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, in Huntsville, in Chattanooga and across metro Atlanta.

Upholstery questions

Asked before most bookings

What does the tag under my cushion have to do with the cleaning?

Everything. That tag carries the manufacturer's cleaning code, and there are four of them. W: water-based cleaning is fine. S: no water at all, only a solvent. WS: the technician may use either, and picks by the soil. X: nothing but a vacuum. Your technician finds the tag before anything else and matches the method to it. Water on an S fabric leaves rings; the wrong product on a W fabric can crush or dull the pile. Reading the code first is how both of those are avoided.

How long until I can sit on the sofa again?

Most pieces are dry in about an hour, because the low-moisture process leaves the fabric barely damp and never soaks the cushion core. A thick seat cushion or a dense weave can want a little longer. The technician tells you when the piece is ready, and in the meantime the room is yours; nothing is roped off.

Can you get pet hair and pet smell out of a couch?

Yes to both. Pet hair comes off first, with a thorough vacuum of the seams, crevices and under the cushions, because hair that stays put only mats down when it gets damp. The smell is mostly body oil and dander in the fabric, and the cleaning lifts that out. A pet accident on a cushion gets our protein and enzyme treatment, which breaks the source down and carries our 100% pet odor removal guarantee.

What does a mattress cleaning involve?

Strip the bedding and the technician takes it from there. The surface is vacuumed to lift dust, skin flakes and dander, spots are treated for what they are, and the mattress is cleaned with the same low-moisture method as a sofa, so it is dry and ready to be made up in about an hour. Older yellowed marks often lighten more than they vanish, and the technician says so up front.

Will the cleaning leave rings or watermarks on the fabric?

Not when the fabric is cleaned the way its code calls for, which is the whole point of reading the tag first. Rings come from water on a fabric that was never meant to get wet, or from a piece soaked so heavily that the moisture dries unevenly. We keep the moisture low on every fabric and use a solvent-based method on the ones that cannot take water.

Do you clean dining chairs and recliners too?

Yes. Dining chair seats and backs, recliners, armchairs, ottomans, chaises and fabric headboards are all cleaned in your home on the same visit as a sofa or a carpet. Recliners are cleaned in place with the mechanism left alone. Leather is the one surface we leave to a leather specialist; everything with a fabric cover is ours.
