Common questions about professional upholstery cleaning.
Yes, we often clean carpet and upholstery in one Columbia visit when rooms are prepped and fabric types are compatible. We sequence work so sofas dry while carpet sets. Pet heavy homes in Howard County often need enzyme treatment on cushions before extraction, especially when sofas sit in daily use TV rooms.
Almost all common upholstery fabrics: microfiber, polyester, cotton blend, leather cleaning and conditioning. We test in an inconspicuous spot first to confirm colorfastness.
Often, yes, with the same enzyme process we use for carpet. Cat urine is the toughest, so we may need an extra treatment. In very severe cases where urine has soaked deep into the cushion foam or frame, we recommend replacement over cleaning. If the source is not removed, the smell will come back.
Two to four hours typically. Sectionals and heavier fabrics may take longer. We open the cushions and improve airflow before we leave.
We clean cushion covers and frames in sections, test fabric first, and stand cushions on edge for drying. Book online with sectional size so we allow enough time on site.
Yes. Enzyme treatment targets uric acid in fabric and padding. Heavy contamination may need a second pass. In very severe cases where the cushion core is fully saturated, we recommend replacement over cleaning. We explain options honestly after inspection.
Yes. Leather gets a dedicated cleaning and conditioning process, not the same chemistry as fabric upholstery. We inspect for cracks or worn areas before wetting.
Yes. We use eco friendly, non toxic solutions on every job. No harsh chemicals, no fumes, no soapy residue. Safe for pets to walk on once the carpet is dry.
