How at-home upholstery cleaning works

This is how the service works, from your first message to drying.

Before the visit

  1. You message us on WhatsApp

    Tell us what you'd like cleaned and your postcode and, if you can, send photos of the furniture and its label.

  2. We give you the price

    Based on size and fabric, we confirm the price and whether the method is suitable.

  3. We book the visit

    We agree the day and time slot with you on WhatsApp.

During the visit

  1. Checking the care label on a sofa's fabric

    Fabric check

    We read the care label, check the furniture's condition and tell you what result is realistic.

  2. Patch-testing the fabric with a white cloth in a hidden spot

    Patch test and pre-treatment

    We test the product in a hidden spot to rule out colour run, then pre-treat each type of stain.

  3. Cleaning a sofa with a hot-water extraction tool

    Vacuuming and hot-water extraction

    We vacuum thoroughly and, where the fabric allows it, inject cleaning solution and extract it, with extra passes to reduce moisture.

  4. Clean fabric sofa in a bright, well-ventilated living room

    Finish and drying

    We groom the fabric and explain how to ventilate the room for good drying.

Why we check the fabric

Every fabric reacts differently to water and products. Many manufacturers print a cleaning code on the label:

W
Can be cleaned with water-based products.
S
Solvent or dry cleaning only: no hot-water extraction.
W/S
Either method, with care.
X
Vacuum only: no cleaning products.

About drying

Drying time depends on the fabric, the thickness of the padding, air humidity and ventilation. In Barcelona's humid months it can take longer.

We recommend opening windows, using a fan if you have one and not covering the furniture until it's dry to the touch.

How to prepare for the visit

  • Remove objects, throws and decorative cushions from the furniture.
  • Clear the space around it so we can work comfortably.
  • Let us know whether there's a lift and what parking is like on your street.
  • Have the furniture label, or a photo of it, to hand.
