Sofa Cleaning

Sofa and suite cleaning in Penicuik, Midlothian and South Edinburgh — ideal before guests, after pets, or ahead of a tenancy check.

Cushions, arms and backs are dry-vacuumed, pre-sprayed, worked with a soft hand brush and extraction-rinsed with the Puzzi upholstery tool so seams and piping get care without overwetting foam.

Why we clean this way

Sofas hold years of dust, crumbs and oils in the fibres and under cushions. A fabric freshener spray cannot extract what is already inside. We remove dry soil with the CV 30/1, break down grime with the correct Prochem pre-spray, work it free with a soft hand brush only, then rinse and extract with the Puzzi — optional finish add-ons (deodouriser, stain conservation, allergen elimination) only if you want them.

How your clean works

Dry vacuum, Prochem pre-spray, agitation matched to carpet pile or fabric, then hot water extraction with the Puzzi. Optional finish add-ons on request — deodouriser, stain conservation and allergen elimination.

Dry vacuum — Kärcher CV 30/1
We vacuum the sofa (cushions, creases and arms) first to remove dry soil, hair, grit and dust before any moisture is used.
Why: Loose dirt removed upfront lets pre-spray work on the fibres and keeps extraction water cleaner.

Fabric check & test spot
We confirm fabric type, wear and any previous DIY attempts. A hidden test spot is done when the composition is uncertain.
Why: Helps avoid dye bleed, shrinkage or texture change on mixed-fibre suites.
Prochem pre-spray (matched to fibre and soiling)
A Prochem pre-spray suited to upholstery grade and how heavily the suite is used is applied evenly and given dwell time to break down oils and sticky soils.
Why: Correct chemistry matters — the wrong product can leave residue, odour or damage on wool, synthetics or delicate weaves.

Gentle agitation — soft hand brush only
We work the pre-spray in with a soft hand brush on cushions, arms and backs — never a carpet-pile machine or Sebo DUO on fabric.
Why: Sofa and upholstery fibres need lighter agitation than fitted carpet pile. A soft hand brush is enough to free soil without damaging weave or seams.
Rinse & extraction — Kärcher Puzzi 10/2 (upholstery tool)
An upholstery-appropriate Prochem rinse is applied and extracted with the Puzzi using the upholstery tool — lower moisture than a full carpet pass, with care on seams and piping.
Why: Controlled extraction on fabric reduces overwetting of foam and backing while still removing soil and chemistry from the fibres.

Optional finish add-ons (on request)
After extraction, when fibres are clean and moisture-controlled, we can quote optional Prochem treatments. Nothing is applied unless you ask — we confirm each add-on before we use it.
Why: Finish treatments work best on a properly rinsed surface. Upsells are always optional and priced before application.
- Deodouriser — Fresh finish after the clean, including a cherry fragrance option — ideal when you want a noticeable scent once drying is underway.
- Stain conservation — Fibre protection to help guard against future spills and everyday soiling, so professional results last longer between visits.
- Allergen elimination — Treatment focused on reducing allergens such as dust mites and pollen residues — popular in asthma-sensitive homes and pet households.
