Upholstery Cleaning
A COMFORTABLE CLEAN YOU CAN TRUST.
You trust Utopia Services to clean your carpet. Why not trust us to clean your furniture as well? We understand that your furniture may be one of the biggest investments in your home. With that in mind, you can count on Utopia Services expertise to get the job done right. Our trained technicians demonstrate furniture cleaning know-how with the same highly-effective hot-water extraction cleaning method we’ve been using on carpet for years.
It all begins with an on-site analysis of your furniture to determine the appropriate technique—especially for any problem areas. Then we use our specially formulated furniture cleaning agents to powerfully but safely clean your furniture. Our experts ensure that everything is done right—without damaging the fabric. The results speak for themselves: cleaner, longer wear and improved air quality. You’ll be rid of the dirt, dust and other pollutants that collect in the cracks and crevices of your upholstered and leather furniture. And you can take comfort in the fact that better care extends the life of your investment.
CLEAN | PROTECT | PRESERVE
We can deodorize and protect your furniture after every cleaning, just as we do with our carpet cleaning services. Our experts spray the protector on your furniture to create an invisible barrier around the fibers. This improves resistance to dry soil, water-based stains, and daily wear and tear. We can also apply a deodorizer that neutralizes odors by eliminating them at their source. After every furniture cleaning, a fresh, clean scent prevails, and your furniture continues to look great year after year.
FOR A CLEAN THAT’S MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
Even leather furniture needs a regular cleaning. It takes on the same dirt and pollutants as upholstered furniture. But unlike upholstered furniture, leather faces the added challenge of lost moisture and softness over time. Store-bought leather cleaners and conditioners provide immediate relief, but they can also cause long-term damage. Proper maintenance demands an experienced professional. Utopia Services uses safe, professional leather cleaners, moisturizers and protectors to rejuvenate your leather furniture—without harmful side effects.
So don’t settle for drab. And don’t buy new. Let our professional deep clean inject new life into your favorite chair or sofa. From couch cleaning to sofa cleaning to all the upholstered and leather furniture in your home, get a clean you can trust—from the people who wrote the book on clean.
Frequently Asked Questions
Manufacturers recommend having upholstered furniture professionally cleaned every 12-24 months depending on use.
While professional cleaning may impact the protective coating on your furniture, the dry soils that accumulate on it over time — along with the strain of daily living cause this coating to deteriorate. To keep your valuable upholstered furniture protected from the damage of dry soil, we can re-apply this coating following cleaning.
Your specific upholstery fabric will determine which cleaning method we use. While the cleaning method along with optional protector application determines the drying time, typical dry time ranges from 6-12 hours.
- The method we use for cleaning is hot water extraction, commonly referred to as steam cleaning. Stanley Steemer’s patented hot water extraction method removes the toughest, deepest dirt safely and gently. Hot water and a specially formulated cleaning solution are injected deep within the carpet fibers. Then, a powerful suction from our truck mounted equipment, extracts deep-down dirt, allergens, cleaning solution and 95% of the moisture. It’s the cleaning method most recommended by carpet manufacturers.
- Pre-vacuuming of all areas to be cleaned is the first step in our cleaning process. We will do that work for you. That’s why you hire Stanley Steemer; it is all included in our service at no extra charge. Have a cup of coffee and enjoy watching us do that hard work!
- Typically, an area is a room that is up to 300 square feet (that is 15 x 20 or approximately the size of a two-car garage). Living room/dining room combos are considered two areas. Any area over 300 square feet but less than 600 square feet is priced as two areas. Non-standard areas (baths, halls, landings, entryways, walk-in-closets, etc.) are priced separately from the standard areas, usually at a lesser price. Our crews will measure any areas they think may be oversized before charging it as two areas.
- On average, it will take approximately 20 minutes per room. This time can vary greatly depending on the amount of furniture to be moved, how soiled the carpet is, and any necessary spot removal treatments.
- There is no charge to move furniture. Our crews are professionally trained to move, or as we say “shift” your furniture, and then return it to its rightful place when cleaning is completed. There are several items we do not move due to safety reasons such as: pianos, electronics, china cabinets, waterbeds, some large beds, dressers with mirrors, etc. We do ask you remove items off of your furniture like plants, lamps and knick knacks before we arrive. The care of your personal possessions is our main concern. We don’t want items to tip over or fall off the furniture we are moving. We know homes have many family heirlooms that need tender loving care and handling so we ask you to place them in a safe location during the cleaning process.
- Dry time is affected by humidity, temperature and air flow to the area. It can take anywhere between 8-24 hours for the carpet to completely dry, depending on the aforementioned variables. Using fans in any rooms cleaned and turning your air conditioning or heating system on, depending on the time of year, can help accelerate drying time. Be sure to leave the protective blocks under furniture legs and any paper used with upholstered items in place until the carpet and/or furniture is completely dry to avoid any color transfer. You may walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning, but avoid wearing street shoes, as they may re-soil your carpet. We suggest wearing clean rubber soled shoes. Be especially careful when walking from damp, carpeted areas on to non-carpeted areas to avoid slipping.
- We cannot guarantee that we will remove all spots or stains. There are substances that can permanently discolor the carpet fibers. The age of the carpet and the type of carpet fibers also plays a factor in this. The technician will try to determine if this is the case prior to cleaning but they are not always able to determine this before trying to remove the spots.
- When comparing prices, make sure you ask a lot of questions and please keep a few things in mind. Our price includes pre-vacuuming, treating for spots, moving (shifting) furniture, and a 10-day satisfaction policy. There are no hidden fees or additional charges. Also, we never sub-contract, so our technicians are always background checked, drug tested and properly trained Stanley Steemer employees. Our technicians wear a red and white uniform, a name badge and drive a bright yellow Stanley Steemer van. We invest a lot into the training of our employees and the cleaning equipment they use to service your homes. This is what allows us to stand behind all of our work. During the past 30+ years we have earned the reputation of being the best carpet cleaning company in Utopia! The Stanley Steemer experience is one we promise you will enjoy!
- We are happy to work with you to correct any situation that may arise. In some cases this can mean spot cleaning specific areas of concern or even completely re-cleaning the area in question. In the end, we’re not satisfied until you are.
