Bring your sofas, lounges and chairs back to life with South Clean’s professional upholstery cleaning, available across all Melbourne suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula. Your couch absorbs body oils, sweat, food and drink spills, pet hair, dust and dead skin every single day — and vacuuming only lifts the surface. Our technicians deep-clean upholstered furniture with fabric-safe hot water extraction and low-moisture methods, removing the grime, stains, odours and allergens that build up deep in the padding, while protecting the colour and texture of your fabric. Same-day service is available 7 days a week with fixed upfront pricing.

Why Your Upholstery Needs Professional Cleaning

Most Melbourne homeowners vacuum their sofas occasionally but never have them properly cleaned — and over a few years that means a lounge full of dust mites, bacteria, trapped odours and oils that dull the fabric and can trigger allergies. Professional upholstery cleaning removes what a vacuum can’t reach: it lifts set-in stains, kills dust mites and bacteria, eliminates pet and food odours at the source, and restores the original colour and softness of the fabric. It also extends the life of expensive furniture, delaying the cost of replacement.

Sofa & Couch Cleaning

The sofa is the hardest-working piece of furniture in any Melbourne home, and it shows. If you’ve been searching for professional sofa cleaning or couch cleaners near you, South Clean deep-cleans fabric sofas, lounges, modular and sectional couches, sofa beds and recliners — lifting the body oils, food spills, pet hair and ground-in grime that build up in the cushions and arms. We clean two-seaters, three-seaters, L-shape modulars and large sectional couches, with fixed per-seat pricing quoted upfront so you know the cost before we start. Fabric and leather couches are each treated with the correct method, and most sofas are usable again within a few hours.

Chair, Cushion & Dining-Chair Cleaning

We also clean individual chairs and cushions — a service many Melbourne cleaners won’t quote separately. That includes armchairs, recliners and tub chairs, fabric dining chairs, office chairs, ottomans and footstools, plus loose scatter and seat cushions. Whether it’s a set of stained dining chairs before guests arrive or a favourite armchair that’s lost its freshness, we clean each piece to the same deep-extraction standard, priced per item. Add chair and cushion cleaning to a couch or carpet booking in the same visit for a better combined rate.

Fabric Types We Handle

Different fabrics need different treatment, and using the wrong method can shrink, watermark or fade upholstery. Our technicians identify and correctly clean:

• Natural fabrics — cotton, linen and wool blends, cleaned with controlled moisture to prevent shrinkage.
• Synthetic fabrics — polyester, microfibre and nylon, which handle deeper hot water extraction.
• Delicate and mixed fabrics — viscose, chenille and velvet, cleaned with low-moisture methods.
• Leather and suede — cleaned and conditioned with dedicated leather-safe products (on request).

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process

1. Inspection & fabric test — we identify the fabric, check the manufacturer’s cleaning code, and test for colour-fastness.
2. Vacuuming — thorough dry soil and pet-hair removal from cushions, crevices and frame.
3. Pre-treatment — spot treatment of stains, oily headrest/armrest marks and high-use areas.
4. Deep clean — fabric-appropriate hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning that flushes out dirt, allergens and bacteria.
5. Deodorise & finish — neutralise odours, groom the fabric and set up fast, even drying. Fabric protector available on request.

Common Problems We Fix

• Pet hair, dander and pet odours ground into the cushions
• Food and drink spills — coffee, wine, juice and sauces
• Oily, darkened headrests and armrests from body contact
• Musty smells and trapped household odours
• Dust mites and allergens for allergy and asthma households
• General dullness and flattened, tired-looking fabric
