Professional vs DIY
Why professional upholstery cleaning beats DIY
A supermarket spray or hired handheld pulls surface marks. It leaves the body oils and deep grime that flatten and age the fabric, and it risks over-wetting delicate weaves.
Refresh professional clean
- Fabric identified and dye-tested before any product touches it
- Dual-vacuum extraction pulls 90-95% of moisture back out, no over-wetting
- Leather cleaned and conditioned with a dedicated low-moisture method
- Stain expertise and a return-if-wrong guarantee
DIY spray or hired handheld
- Surface only, leaves body oils and deep grime in the fibres
- Easy to over-wet, causing water marks, long drying and mildew
- No dye test, real risk of colour bleed on velvet and dyed fabric
- Wrong product on leather can dry it out and crack it
How we clean
Our 5-step sofa & upholstery cleaning process
Matched to your fabric after a dye test, start to finish in about ninety minutes.
- STEP 01
Assess & dye-test
Fabric identified (cotton, polyester, velvet, linen blend, microfibre or leather) and a dye-stability test done so the solution is safe for the colour and weave.
- STEP 02
Vacuum
High-filtration vacuum lifts loose grit, crumbs, dust and pet hair, including under and between the cushions, before any liquid is introduced.
- STEP 03
Pre-condition
Non-toxic pre-spray breaks down body oils and build-up on armrests and headrests; the fabric is gently agitated with a soft brush.
- STEP 04
Extract
Heated rinse injected with upholstery tools flushes out grime, grease and bacteria; dual vacuums pull back 90-95% of the moisture.
- STEP 05
Neutralise & groom
Ink, coffee, wine and pet stains treated with fabric-safe removers, then the pile is groomed and cushions set up for fast, even drying.
Who it's for
Upholstery cleaning that earns its keep
Pet households
Lifts embedded pet hair, dander and accident odour from the fabric and down between the cushions.
Everyday family sofas
Removes the body oils, food and spills a daily-use sofa absorbs, and revives flattened, grubby-looking fabric.
Leather & velvet
A dedicated leather clean and condition, and a gentle low-moisture method for delicate velvet and dyed fabric.
Before a sale or move
Freshens a sofa for viewings, resale or a new home, and can be booked alongside a carpet or move-out clean.
Leather too
Leather sofa cleaning & conditioning
Leather is never cleaned like fabric. We use a low-moisture, pH-balanced clean that lifts body oils and grime from the grain, then a conditioner that restores suppleness and helps prevent cracking and fading.
Because leather is never saturated, it stays soft and is ready to use the same day. Faux leather and leather dining chairs are cleaned the same way, anywhere in Dublin, Kildare, Meath, Wicklow or Wexford.

Common questions
Your questions, answered
How often should a sofa be professionally cleaned?
As a general rule, every 12 to 18 months. Homes with pets, young children or a sofa in daily use benefit from every 6 to 12 months, since upholstery absorbs body oils, skin cells, spills and pet dander faster than most people expect. Regular cleaning keeps fabric looking fresh and extends its life.
Can you clean leather sofas?
Yes. We clean leather and faux-leather sofas with a dedicated process, a pH-balanced clean followed by a conditioner that restores suppleness and helps prevent cracking. Leather is never saturated the way fabric is, so it stays soft and is ready to use the same day. Fabric, velvet and microfibre sofas are cleaned with hot-water extraction instead.
Can you remove stains from a fabric sofa?
We remove the majority of common upholstery stains, coffee, wine, food, grease and pet accidents. Complete removal depends on the fabric and how long the stain has set. Strong dyes or stains that have chemically altered the fibres can leave a shadow. Every sofa is assessed and dye-tested first, and the likely outcome is explained before cleaning begins.
How long does a sofa take to dry after cleaning?
A fabric or velvet sofa is dry to touch within 4 to 6 hours, because dual-vacuum extraction pulls 90-95% of the moisture back out and avoids over-wetting. Airflow and a warm room speed this up. Leather sofas use far less moisture and are usually ready to use the same day.
What types of sofa and fabric can you clean?
Cotton, polyester, linen-blend, velvet and microfibre fabric sofas, plus leather and faux leather. The method is matched to the fabric after a dye-stability test. Armchairs, dining chairs, headboards and ottomans can be cleaned on the same visit.
How much does sofa cleaning cost in Dublin?
Refresh quotes every job individually, based on the number of seats and the fabric type, with no on-the-day upsells. Send us the sofa size, fabric and any problem areas by WhatsApp or the form and a written, no-obligation quote comes back within the hour.
Are the products safe for pets and children?
Yes, every product is non-toxic, biodegradable and safe for pets and children. A low-fragrance range is available for anyone with fragrance sensitivities. The sofa is safe to use again as soon as it is dry.
Do you clean armchairs and dining chairs too?
Yes. We clean armchairs, dining and occasional chairs, headboards and ottomans, and these are most cost-effective added to a sofa or carpet clean on the same visit anywhere in Dublin, Kildare, Meath, Wicklow and Wexford.
