Furniture Collects What Carpets Do
Sofas and chairs absorb body oils, dust, and food spills just like carpet — they're just harder to clean yourself. Professional upholstery cleaning uses a heated hand tool with controlled moisture, so fabric gets genuinely clean without being soaked.
Every piece is checked first: fabric type, colorfastness, and manufacturer cleaning codes determine whether hot water extraction or a low-moisture method is the right call. Microfiber, cotton blends, and most synthetics respond beautifully; delicate fabrics get a gentler approach.
Commonly Cleaned
- Sofas and sectionals
- Recliners and armchairs
- Dining chairs and ottomans
- Mattresses (freshening and stain treatment)
Timing and Cost
A standard sofa runs roughly $80–$150 and takes under an hour; sectionals and heavily soiled pieces run more. Fabric typically dries in 2–6 hours. Many Lehi customers add a sofa or sectional to a carpet cleaning visit — combining them saves on the total.
