How many people have sat on that couch?
Share houses, furnished rentals and family homes near the campus — couch cleaning from $40 a seat, fabric tested, dry in hours.
South Clean cleans couches, upholstery, curtains, mattresses and rugs across Bundoora, Mill Park and Watsonia — the share houses and furnished rentals around the campus, and the family homes on the quieter streets behind them.
The couch nobody owns
A lot of Bundoora housing is let furnished, which creates a piece of furniture in an odd position: the couch belongs to the landlord, so nobody living there feels responsible for it, and the landlord never sits on it. Tenancy after tenancy passes and it just accumulates — spills, study nights, takeaway, and years of body oils transferring into the fabric from every person who has lived there.
By the time anyone thinks about it, the assumption is that the couch is simply old. Usually it isn’t. Lift a cushion and compare the fabric underneath to the surface beside it — that protected fabric is roughly the original colour, and the gap is soil rather than wear. Soil comes out.
Priced per seat, split however you like
A three-seat sofa is three seats. No mystery, nothing added later.
$40 per seat, fabric tested first. Modular and corner suites priced by the seat, however the pieces are arranged.
The most-forgotten item in any house, and usually the most visible improvement of the whole job.
Four names on the lease? We can invoice one person and let the others settle up, or take payment in parts on the day.
Curtains, while we’re there
Rental curtains are almost never cleaned, for the same reason as the couch — nobody feels it’s theirs to deal with. We clean them on the rod, so nothing is unhooked, nothing is rehung, and there’s no risk of the shrinkage that happens when lined curtains go through a home washing machine, where lining and face fabric shrink at different rates. Sheers, blockouts, separate linings, Roman blinds and fabric pelmets are all done in the same visit.

Couch & upholstery cleaning Bundoora — FAQs
How much does couch cleaning cost in Bundoora?
Couches and upholstery are $40 per seat with a minimum call-out of $120. A three-seat sofa is priced as three seats, and modular or corner suites are priced by the seat however the pieces are arranged. Armchairs, dining chairs and study chairs are quoted the same simple way.
We are a share house. Can we split the payment?
Yes. We can invoice one person and let the others transfer their share, or take payment in parts on the day. With several names on a lease it is a normal request and it does not complicate anything.
The couch came with the rental. Is it worth cleaning?
Usually yes, and this is the most common situation here. Furnished rental couches accumulate through tenancy after tenancy because nobody living there feels responsible for them. Lift a cushion and compare the fabric underneath to the surface beside it – the protected fabric is roughly the original colour, and that gap is soil rather than wear, so it comes out.
Do you clean curtains in rentals too?
Yes, and rental curtains are almost never cleaned for the same reason as the couch. We clean them on the rod so nothing is unhooked or rehung, and there is no shrinkage risk – shrinkage happens in home washing machines because lining and face fabric shrink at different rates.
What should we clean before the final inspection?
In a furnished property, the couch and mattress usually matter as much as the carpet, and they are the two things tenants forget. Doing all three in one visit costs less than booking them separately, and you get a written receipt for the agent on request.
Is it safe to clean upholstery ourselves?
It is riskier than carpet, and on a rental couch the damage becomes your problem at the end of the lease. Check the tag for the cleaning code: 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, and over-wetting soaks the foam underneath.
Do you cover Mill Park, Watsonia and Kingsbury?
Yes. We cover Bundoora, Mill Park, Watsonia, Macleod, Kingsbury, Reservoir, Greensborough and Preston at the same rates – there is no travel surcharge between suburbs.
