Our process

How we clean sofas, carpets and mattresses

Fabric needs care: too much water leaves rings and a damp smell, too little leaves the dirt inside. We use shampoo and an extraction machine so dirt comes out and the fabric dries fast.

Step by step

What happens, in order

  1. 1

    Check the fabric

    5 min

    We read the care tag and test a hidden spot. Most sofas in Indian homes can take water-based cleaning; a few need a dry method.

  2. 2

    Dry vacuum

    15 min

    Crumbs, dust, hair and sand are vacuumed out first, including under and between cushions. Wetting dry dirt only turns it into mud.

  3. 3

    Treat stains

    10 min

    Tea, food and body-oil marks get a spot treatment matched to the stain. We work from the outside in, so the stain does not spread.

  4. 4

    Shampoo

    20 to 40 min

    A low-foam shampoo is worked into the fabric with a soft brush, panel by panel, so the whole surface is cleaned evenly and there are no patches.

  5. 5

    Extract

    20 to 40 min

    The extraction machine sprays clean water and sucks it straight back out, along with the dirt and shampoo. You can see how dirty the water in the tank is.

  6. 6

    Groom and dry

    10 min

    Fabric pile is brushed in one direction so it dries evenly. We set up a fan and tell you when it is ready to use, usually in 4 to 6 hours.

FAQs

Questions about the sofa and carpet cleaning process

How long does a sofa take to dry after cleaning?

Usually 4 to 6 hours with a fan running, because the extraction machine removes most of the water.

Is shampoo safe for children and pets?

Yes. We use a low-foam fabric shampoo and rinse it out with the extraction machine, so very little is left in the fabric.

Do you clean leather sofas?

Yes, with a gentle pH-neutral cleaner. We do not recolour or repair leather.
