What We Clean
We provide a full range of upholstery cleaning services, including:

Items Typically Excluded
For safety and fabric-care reasons, some items are excluded or assessed case by case:
- Delicate antique pieces where cleaning may risk damage
- Uneconomical items with severe structural damage
- Heavily sun-perished or threadbare fabrics
- Non-colourfast fabrics that fail a pre-test
- Heavily soiled mattresses (we offer separate mattress cleaning on request)
If we believe an item cannot be safely cleaned or the results will be poor, we will explain this clearly before work begins.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Process
We follow a structured, careful process to protect your furniture and deliver consistent results.
1. Enquiry & Quote
Send us a photo or a brief description of your items and their condition. We ask about:
- Fabric type (if known) and approximate age
- Number and size of items
- Type of soiling (food, drink, pets, general use)
- Access to your property in Canary Wharf
Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, the method recommended and approximate drying times.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
Before cleaning, we carry out a short survey. This may be done virtually from clear photos or onsite for larger or more complex jobs. We:
- Check labels and fabric construction
- Perform colourfastness and fibre tests
- Identify problem areas such as grease marks, drink spills or pet accidents
- Discuss any previous cleaning attempts or products used
If anything changes the expected result or price, we explain it before starting, so there are no surprises.
3. Preparation
On the day, we protect your home or premises and prepare the furniture:
- Cover floors and nearby surfaces where necessary
- Move light items and work carefully around heavier pieces
- Vacuum upholstery thoroughly to remove loose debris and dust
- Apply pre-treatment to marks and traffic areas
4. Cleaning Method
Depending on the fabric, we use one or more of the following professional methods:
- Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) – Deep cleans most synthetic and many mixed-fibre fabrics.
- Low-moisture cleaning – Suitable where quicker drying is needed, often used in offices.
- Delicate or dry-solvent methods – For more sensitive fibres, carried out with extra care after testing.
We finish by grooming the fabric where required and positioning items for best airflow to support drying.
Transparent Pricing
We believe in straightforward, fair pricing for upholstery cleaning in Canary Wharf. Our quotes are usually based on:
- Type and size of each item (e.g. two-seater vs three-seater sofa)
- Fabric type and complexity
- Level of soiling and any special stain treatments
- Location, access and parking arrangements
We provide a full breakdown before starting, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Any additional work, such as extra stain removal attempts, is discussed and agreed in advance. There are no hidden charges for standard equipment, detergents or timing within agreed hours.
Why Choose Professional Upholstery Cleaning Over DIY?
While hire-machines and off-the-shelf sprays are widely available, professional upholstery cleaning offers several clear advantages:
- Correct identification of fabrics and safe cleaning methods
- More powerful extraction, reducing the risk of over-wetting and mould
- Suitable, trade-grade cleaning solutions balanced for pH and fibre safety
- Better stain treatment, with realistic expectations explained in advance
- Reduced risk of shrinkage, dye bleed or texture change
Using the wrong product or too much water can cause permanent damage and leave residues that attract fresh dirt. Our trained teams handle this properly from the outset.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture and property are fully protected while we work. Cleaners Canary Wharf carries:
- Public liability cover – Protects against accidental damage to your property while we are cleaning.
- Goods in transit insurance – Covers any items we transport for offsite treatment or specialist work.
All work is carried out by trained cleaning technicians who follow manufacturer guidance, industry best practice and our internal quality standards. We use clear risk assessments and method statements for larger commercial jobs.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your upholstery and your indoor environment with care:
- Where possible, we select eco-conscious and low-residue detergents.
- We use measured product quantities to minimise waste and rinsing.
- Protective pads or coverings can be used to separate damp fabric from wooden or metal frames.
- Our equipment is regularly maintained for efficiency and lower energy use.
Extending the life of existing furniture is itself a sustainable choice, reducing the need for premature replacement and disposal. We aim to help you keep what you already own in good condition for longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does upholstery cleaning cost in Canary Wharf?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and type of each item, the fabric and how heavily soiled it is. As a guide, we typically price per seat for sofas and per item for chairs and headboards. Larger commercial projects may be costed on a visit or area basis. Once you share a few details and photos, we’ll provide a clear written quote with no hidden charges. The price you see will cover labour, equipment and standard cleaning products unless we agree anything extra in advance.
Can you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?
In many cases we can accommodate urgent or short-notice bookings in Canary Wharf, particularly for smaller residential jobs or single items. Availability will always depend on our schedule and the complexity of the work, so the sooner you contact us, the more options we’ll have. For commercial spills or high-traffic areas, we do our best to prioritise time-sensitive issues to limit disruption. We’ll be honest about what can be achieved on the day and advise on the safest approach.
Is my furniture insured while you’re cleaning?
Yes. We carry public liability cover for work carried out on your premises and goods in transit insurance for any items we move for offsite treatment. Our aim is always prevention first: testing fabrics, using appropriate methods and working carefully around your property. However, should something go wrong, you have the reassurance that we are properly insured and that we will address any genuine issues promptly and professionally. Details of our cover can be provided on request for residential and commercial clients.
What is included in your upholstery cleaning service?
Our standard upholstery cleaning service includes inspection and testing, thorough vacuuming, targeted pre-treatment of marks, the main clean using an appropriate method, and a final rinse or neutralisation where required. We also tidy up the work area and advise on drying and aftercare. Many light stains and odours are included in the standard price; severe staining or specialist treatments may be extra, but this will always be agreed before we start. We focus on achieving the best realistic result safely, rather than over-promising.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times in Canary Wharf, booking one to two weeks ahead is sensible, especially if you need a specific slot or have multiple items. That said, we frequently have openings for smaller jobs within a few days and can sometimes fit in urgent work the same or next day. If you’re working to a move-out date, business event or refurbishment schedule, contact us as early as possible so we can plan a convenient appointment and coordinate access and parking.
