Luxury Upholstery Cleaning London
Your Finest Furniture Deserves Exceptional Care.
Luxury furniture deserves more than a standard cleaning approach. Designer sofas, delicate armchairs, fine fabrics and carefully crafted upholstery can feature sensitive fibres, intricate stitching, specialist dyes, decorative trims and finishes that require thoughtful treatment.

Specialist Approach
We Assess First. Then We Clean.
At Londonair Cleaning Company, we assess the material, construction and condition of suitable upholstery before recommending an appropriate cleaning method. Our aim is to refresh your furniture while respecting the qualities that make each piece special.
We do not assume that a single cleaning method is appropriate for every sofa or chair. Different fabrics, dyes, constructions and finishes require different approaches. We identify the material, check care labels and manufacturer guidance, and select a suitable method for the piece wherever possible.
"From delicate designer fabrics to treasured statement furniture, every piece deserves an approach suited to its material, construction and condition. We do not assume that a single cleaning method is appropriate for every sofa or chair. We assess first, explain the options and select a suitable approach for the piece wherever possible."
Fabric identification before every clean
We identify velvet, silk, linen, wool, leather, suede and specialist fabrics before selecting a cleaning method.
Care labels and manufacturer guidance reviewed
We check available care instructions and review previous treatment where known.
Colourfastness and dye transfer assessed
We check for colour instability and dye transfer risks before proceeding.
Delicate trims and stitching protected
Piping, fringe, decorative trims and intricate stitching are identified and protected throughout the clean.
Specialist referral when required
We refer unsuitable items to specialist conservators or restorers when the piece requires treatment beyond our scope.
Important
Is Your Furniture Too Delicate for Standard Cleaning?
Please tell us about designer brands, delicate fibres, valuable pieces, antique furniture, previous treatment, colour sensitivity and any special handling requirements before booking. The more we know about your furniture, the better we can advise on the most appropriate approach.
We welcome enquiries about pieces that other cleaners have declined or that you are concerned about. We will assess the item honestly and advise on the options — including referral to a specialist conservator if that is the most appropriate course.

Why Choose Us
What Makes Our Upholstery Cleaning Different
Most upholstery cleaners make your furniture look clean. Here's what we do differently — and why it produces a result that actually lasts.
Fabric Assessment First
Every piece is assessed before we touch it. We identify the fabric type, construction and soiling level to select the precise method — no guesswork.
Specialist Extraction Equipment
Professional-grade upholstery tools — not domestic machines. We extract deep-seated dirt, allergens and bacteria that household cleaning cannot reach.
Eco-Safe, Fabric-Kind Solutions
All our products are non-toxic, pH-balanced and safe for children, pets and allergy sufferers. Gentle on your furniture, thorough on contamination.
Stain Removal Expertise
Wine, coffee, ink, pet stains, grease — we carry specialist spotting agents for every stain type and treat each one individually before the main clean.
Dries in 2–4 Hours
Low-moisture techniques mean your furniture is ready to use the same day. No waiting days for drying — we minimise disruption without compromising results.
Fully Insured Technicians
Every technician is professionally trained, vetted and fully insured. You can invite us into your home with complete confidence.

The Homes We Care For
Upholstery Care for Homes Where Presentation Matters
We are trusted to care for some of London's finest private residences. The furniture we clean is important to the people who own it — and we treat it accordingly.
Our work is defined by discretion, attention to detail, and a consistent standard of care. We do not simply clean upholstery. We restore the environment our clients have invested in.
The Case for Professional Cleaning
Your Sofa Holds More Than You Think
Upholstery absorbs far more dirt, allergens, and bacteria than most people realise. A sofa used daily can harbour millions of dust mites, pet dander, skin cells, and bacteria — all invisible to the naked eye. Regular professional cleaning removes these contaminants and significantly improves indoor air quality.
Our Method

Every job follows the same rigorous process — no shortcuts, no guesswork.
Fabric check
We identify the upholstery fabric and check the manufacturer cleaning code before selecting the right method.
Pre-vacuuming
Loose soil and debris are removed with specialist upholstery vacuuming tools.
Pre-treatment
Stains and heavily soiled areas receive targeted pre-treatment solutions.
Deep cleaning
Hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning is applied depending on the fabric type.
Drying
Air movers accelerate drying. Most upholstery is ready to use within 2–4 hours.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your upholstery clean.
Can you clean leather sofas?
Yes — we offer specialist leather cleaning and conditioning. Leather requires a different approach to fabric upholstery and we use dedicated leather-safe products.
Will cleaning affect the colour of my sofa?
No — our cleaning process is colour-safe. In fact, most clients find their upholstery looks brighter and more vibrant after cleaning.
How long does upholstery cleaning take?
A standard 3-seater sofa takes approximately 45–60 minutes to clean. A full suite typically takes 2–3 hours.
How long before I can use my sofa again?
Most upholstery is dry and ready to use within 2–4 hours. We recommend keeping windows open to aid drying.
Can you remove pet hair as well as stains?
Yes — we remove pet hair as part of the pre-vacuuming stage, and use enzyme-based treatments to eliminate pet odours and stains.
