How often exactly should you clean a sofa?

In a typical home, a professional deep clean is usually enough about once every 12–24 months. With children, pets or intensive use, cleaning may be needed more often. Also go by the fabric's care instructions, visible dirt and odor.

How can you tell that a sofa needs cleaning?

Visible stains, a bad odor and built-up dirt can be signs that cleaning is needed. If you notice them, do not wait for a set period to pass.

Do different materials need different cleaning frequencies?

Yes, in general fabric needs cleaning more often than leather. Read more about fabric and leather.

Is cleaning too often bad?

The need for cleaning and the right frequency depend on the material, the care instructions and the drying conditions. Do not repeat wet cleaning just by the calendar; if you see a stain, ask for advice on a suitable treatment.

How do you clean the sofa?

We use hot-water extraction cleaning with an upholstery extractor. See the service details on the sofa cleaning page.
