Everything soft in the house, one visit.
Couches, dining chairs, curtains and mattresses — the four things that hold dust, and the four nobody cleans. Fabric tested, dry in hours.
South Clean cleans upholstery, curtains, mattresses, rugs and carpet across Croydon, Croydon South and Croydon North — established family homes on leafy blocks at the foot of the Dandenongs.
Book your Croydon clean
Tell us the seats, chairs, curtains or mattresses — we’ll come back with one fixed price.
Lift a cushion. That’s what your sofa should look like.
Carpet looks dirty. Upholstery just looks “a bit tired” — because body oils transfer continuously from skin and hair into the fabric, darkening it so evenly over years that nobody sees it happen.
There’s a five-second test. Lift a cushion and compare the fabric underneath to the exposed surface beside it. That protected fabric is roughly the colour your sofa started as, and the gap is usually a shade or two. It’s soil, not wear — which means it comes out.
The four soft surfaces
Done together in one visit, priced as one job.
Lounge suites, modulars, armchairs, recliners and the upholstered dining chairs almost nobody thinks to book. A three-seat sofa is three seats.
Cleaned on the rod. Never taken down, no rehanging, no shrinkage — and they hold more airborne dust than anything else in the room.
Steam cleaned plus anti-dust-mite treatment. Warm, humid and full of skin cells, a mattress is where mite levels are highest in the house.
Curtain & drapery cleaning in Croydon
Croydon homes look out at gardens and, further up, at the hills. Those big windows mean full-length drapes doing a lot of quiet filtering — garden dust, pollen and cooking odour all settle into them first, because curtains sit exactly where outside air enters the house.
Almost nobody cleans them, for one reason: taking them down feels like a weekend project, and washing lined curtains at home is how they end up hanging short. Shrinkage happens because the lining and the face fabric shrink at different rates in a machine. We clean them on the rod with controlled moisture instead, so the drop stays exactly as it was hung. Sheers, blockouts and separate linings each get a method matched to the fabric weight.
Mattress cleaning — the one nobody inspects
A mattress is warm, humid and constantly fed skin cells, which makes it the single best dust mite habitat in the house — well ahead of the carpet. If someone in the home wakes congested, stuffy or wheezy and improves during the day, the bed is the first thing worth treating. We steam clean and apply an anti-dust-mite treatment, and it’s dry the same night. It’s also the first thing to do with any second-hand mattress, before anyone sleeps on it.

Croydon upholstery, curtain & mattress cleaning — FAQs
How much does upholstery cleaning cost in Croydon?
Upholstery is $40 per seat with a minimum call-out of $120. A three-seat sofa is priced as three seats, and armchairs, recliners, dining chairs and fabric headboards are quoted the same simple way. Booking upholstery, curtains and mattresses together in one visit costs less than three separate call-outs.
How do I tell if my sofa needs cleaning?
Lift a cushion and compare the fabric underneath to the exposed surface next to it. The protected fabric is roughly the colour your sofa started as, and the difference is usually a shade or two. That gap is soil rather than wear, which means it comes out.
Do you have to take curtains down to clean them?
In most cases no. We clean drapes on the rod using controlled moisture, so there is no unhooking, no rehanging and no days with bare windows. Sheers, blockouts and separate linings each get a method matched to the fabric weight.
Will cleaning shrink my curtains?
Not with on-site cleaning. Shrinkage happens when lined curtains go through a home washing machine, because the lining and the face fabric shrink at different rates. Cleaning on the rod at low temperature keeps the drop exactly as it was hung.
Why clean a mattress?
A mattress is warm, humid and constantly fed skin cells, which makes it the best dust mite habitat in the house – ahead of the carpet. If someone wakes congested or wheezy and improves during the day, the bed is the first thing worth treating. It is also the first thing to do with any second-hand mattress before anyone sleeps on it.
Is it safe to clean upholstery myself?
It is riskier than carpet. Check the tag for the cleaning code first: W is water-safe, S is solvent only, WS is either, X is vacuum only. Water on an S-coded fabric leaves a permanent ring. Upholstery is also fabric over foam, so over-wetting soaks the foam, takes days to dry and can create a smell worse than what you started with.
Do you cover Croydon South, Croydon North and Croydon Hills?
Yes, all of them at the same rates, along with Ringwood, Kilsyth, Mooroolbark and Chirnside Park – there is no travel surcharge between suburbs.
Couch, curtains or mattresses in Croydon?
All three in one visit, one fixed price, dry in hours. Seven days a week.
