How often should I clean my upholstery?

Most homes do well every 12 to 18 months. With pets, kids, or allergies in the house, every 6 to 12 months is more realistic.

Is your cleaning safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Our main spotter, PROCYON, is Green Seal certified and Asthma & Allergy Approved. Furniture is safe to use the same day it's cleaned.

Can you clean wool or other delicate fabrics?

Yes — we're a WoolSafe-approved service provider, certified to clean wool, velvet, and other natural fibers using methods that protect the fiber structure.

How long until I can use my furniture again?

Usually two to four hours. Our low-moisture methods mean cushions don't stay damp the way wet-extraction leaves them.

Can you remove pet urine and odor?

Yes. We use Odorcide®, a non-enzymatic deodorizer that eliminates odor rather than masking it. For deeper accidents, see our dedicated Pet Urine & Odor Removal service.

Will cleaning damage or shrink my fabric?

No. We inspect every piece, do a colorfast test on delicate fabrics, and match the method to the material. If something's too fragile to clean safely, we tell you upfront.

Do you handle commercial spaces?

Yes — offices, hotels, short-term rentals, and lounges across the Bay Area. We work around your business hours.

What areas of the Bay Area do you serve?

San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Marin County, Daly City, Pacifica, San Bruno, and surrounding neighborhoods. Call with your zip code if you're not sure.

Why Clean Your Upholstery

Air quality. Sofas and chairs hold dust, dander, and allergens the same way carpets do. Cleaning them improves the air in the room you spend the most time in.
Furniture lasts longer. Embedded dirt is abrasive — it wears down fibers from the inside, which is why cushions look tired before they should.
Spots and odors actually come out. Pet accidents, food, body oils, sunscreen — the right method removes them rather than spreading them around.

What We Clean

Sofas, sectionals, and loveseats
Armchairs, recliners, and accent chairs
Dining chairs and ottomans
Cushion covers (removable and fixed)
Office furniture and commercial spaces

How We Clean Different Fabrics

Fabric type changes everything about the right cleaning method. Here's how we approach the most common ones:

Cotton & linen. Natural fibers, prone to shrinkage and water marks. We use low-moisture extraction with controlled pH to lift soil without saturating.
Microfiber & synthetics. Durable but hold body oils stubbornly. Pre-treatment with our Green Seal-certified spotter breaks down oils before extraction.
Wool. Delicate, naturally stain-resistant, but easily damaged by alkaline cleaners. As a WoolSafe-approved provider, we use wool-safe solutions and methods that protect the fiber structure.
Velvet. The pile direction matters as much as the cleaning itself. We work in the direction of the nap and use minimal moisture to prevent matting and crushing.
Suede & nubuck. Specialty fabrics that don't tolerate standard methods. We assess each piece individually and tell you honestly if it's a candidate for in-home cleaning.
Antique or vintage upholstery. Older fabrics are often weakened by age and sun exposure. We do a colorfast test first and proceed conservatively — or recommend a different approach if the fabric is too fragile.
