Upholstery Cleaning

Professional Upholstery Cleaning Services in Kenya

Furniture is one of the biggest investments in any home, office, hotel, school, hospital, restaurant, church, or commercial building. Every day, upholstered furniture collects dust, dirt, body oils, bacteria, allergens, food crumbs, pet hair, stains, and unpleasant odours that ordinary cleaning cannot completely remove.

Over time, this build-up affects not only the appearance of your furniture but also the hygiene of your indoor environment. Regular professional upholstery cleaning helps restore freshness, improve indoor air quality, extend the lifespan of furniture, and create a cleaner and healthier living or working space.

At Ella Cleaning Services, we provide professional upholstery cleaning services throughout Nairobi and across Kenya using commercial-grade equipment, eco-friendly cleaning products, and experienced technicians. Whether you need a single armchair cleaned or complete upholstery maintenance for a hotel, office, hospital, or school, we deliver reliable, high-quality results.

Our upholstery cleaning services cover residential, commercial, and institutional clients throughout Kenya.

What Is Upholstery Cleaning?

Upholstery cleaning is the professional cleaning of furniture covered with fabric, leather, vinyl, microfiber, velvet, suede, or other upholstered materials.

Unlike ordinary surface cleaning, professional upholstery cleaning removes deeply embedded dirt, allergens, bacteria, stains, and odours while protecting the fabric and maintaining the furniture’s appearance.

Professional upholstery cleaning combines specialised equipment, fabric knowledge, and suitable cleaning products to restore furniture safely and effectively.

However, much of the contamination is hidden beneath the surface.

Professional upholstery cleaning helps remove:

  • Dust mites
  • Allergens

Benefits of Professional Upholstery Cleaning

Improves Indoor Air Quality

Dust and allergens trapped in upholstery can become airborne during everyday use.

Professional cleaning helps reduce this build-up, contributing to a cleaner indoor environment.

Extends Furniture Life

Dirt acts like fine sandpaper against upholstery fibres.

Regular professional cleaning helps reduce wear and maintain the appearance of your furniture.

Our technicians treat a wide range of common stains, including:

  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Juice
  • Wine
  • Chocolate
  • Mud
  • Grease
  • Ink
  • Food spills
  • Pet accidents

Every stain is assessed individually to determine the most suitable treatment.

  • Pets
  • Smoke
  • Food
  • Sweat
  • Damp conditions
  • Everyday use

Creates a Better First Impression

  • Homes
  • Offices
  • Hotels
  • Restaurants
  • Schools
  • Hospitals
  • Reception areas
  • Airbnb properties

Well-maintained upholstery reflects professionalism and attention to detail.

Our Professional Upholstery Cleaning Process

Every project follows a structured cleaning process designed to achieve effective results while protecting the furniture.

Step 1 – Inspection

We assess:

  • Upholstery material
  • Level of soiling
  • Stains
  • Areas of heavy use
  • Existing damage

This allows us to choose the safest cleaning method.

Step 2 – Industrial Vacuuming

Professional vacuum cleaners remove:

  • Dust
  • Hair
  • Dry soil
  • Food crumbs
  • Fine particles

Removing loose dirt before wet cleaning improves overall results.

Step 3 – Stain Treatment

Visible stains receive targeted treatment using upholstery-safe cleaning products.

Step 4 – Deep Cleaning

Depending on the material, we use appropriate professional cleaning methods to remove embedded dirt while protecting the upholstery.

Step 5 – Deodorising and Sanitising

Where required, we apply deodorising and sanitising treatments to improve freshness and hygiene.

Step 6 – Fast Drying

Our commercial extraction equipment removes excess moisture, allowing most fabric upholstery to dry within 1–2 hours under normal conditions.

Leather furniture generally requires very little drying time after conditioning.

Types of Upholstery Cleaning Services We Offer

Different upholstery materials require different cleaning methods. A technique that works well on polyester may damage velvet, leather, linen, or delicate natural fibres.

At Ella Cleaning Services, we inspect every item before cleaning. This allows us to select suitable products, control moisture levels, protect colours, and reduce the risk of fabric damage.

Our upholstery cleaning services cover fabric, leather, synthetic materials, residential furniture, commercial seating, and institutional upholstery.

Fabric Upholstery Cleaning Services

Fabric furniture is comfortable and attractive, but it easily traps dust, body oils, food particles, allergens, stains, and odours.

Our fabric upholstery cleaning service is suitable for:

  • Sofa sets
  • Armchairs
  • Recliners
  • Dining chairs
  • Office chairs
  • Headboards
  • Ottomans
  • Benches
  • Hotel furniture
  • Restaurant seating
  • Church chairs
  • Reception furniture

Depending on the upholstery material, our process may include:

  • Detailed inspection
  • Deep vacuuming
  • Fabric testing
  • Stain pre-treatment
  • Upholstery shampooing
  • Deep extraction
  • Deodorising
  • Sanitising
  • Fast drying
  • Final inspection

We clean common upholstery materials such as cotton, polyester, linen, microfibre, velvet, canvas, chenille, and blended fabrics.

Leather Upholstery Cleaning and Conditioning

Leather furniture requires specialised care because ordinary detergents may remove its protective finish, dry the material, cause fading, or increase cracking.

Our leather upholstery service may include:

  • Dust and loose dirt removal
  • Gentle leather cleaning
  • Body oil removal
  • Spot treatment
  • Leather conditioning
  • Moisturising
  • Buffing
  • Surface protection

We clean several types of leather and leather-like upholstery, including:

  • Genuine leather
  • Top-grain leather
  • Protected leather
  • Semi-aniline leather
  • Faux leather
  • PU leather
  • Executive leather chairs
  • Leather sofas
  • Leather dining chairs

Cleaning improves appearance, while conditioning helps maintain softness and flexibility.

Severely cracked, torn, peeling, burnt, or faded leather may require restoration or repair rather than cleaning alone.

Upholstery Shampoo Cleaning

Upholstery shampoo cleaning uses professional detergent to loosen dirt, grease, body oils, and stains trapped within fabric fibres.

The process normally involves:

  1. Inspecting the furniture.
  2. Vacuuming loose dirt and debris.
  3. Applying suitable stain treatments.
  4. Working upholstery shampoo into the fabric.
  5. Extracting the cleaning solution and loosened dirt.
  6. Deodorising and drying the furniture.

Shampoo cleaning is suitable for many fabric sofas, office chairs, dining chairs, mattresses, and commercial furniture.

The amount of water used is controlled carefully to prevent unnecessary soaking.

Upholstery Extraction Cleaning

Extraction cleaning is one of the most effective methods for deep-cleaning fabric furniture.

A professional machine introduces a controlled amount of cleaning solution into the upholstery before immediately extracting:

  • Embedded dirt
  • Dissolved stains
  • Detergent residue
  • Allergens
  • Fine soil
  • Excess moisture

This process provides deeper cleaning than surface wiping and helps reduce drying time.

Most upholstery cleaned using our extraction equipment dries within approximately 1–2 hours, although thick fabrics, poor ventilation, and humid weather may increase drying time.

Upholstery Steam Cleaning

The term “steam cleaning” is often used to describe hot-water extraction, but the two methods are not always identical.

Hot-water extraction uses heated water and professional cleaning solution, followed by powerful suction. True steam treatment uses vapour at a higher temperature and much lower moisture.

Not every upholstery material is suitable for direct steam treatment. Excessive heat can affect:

  • Delicate fabrics
  • Upholstery adhesives
  • Natural fibres
  • Certain dyes
  • Leather finishes
  • Foam padding

Our technicians inspect the material before recommending steam, extraction, shampooing, or low-moisture cleaning.

Low-Moisture Upholstery Cleaning

Some furniture requires reduced moisture because of its fabric construction, colour stability, filling material, or manufacturer instructions.

Low-moisture cleaning may be suitable for:

  • Delicate upholstery
  • Certain velvet furniture
  • Natural fibres
  • Furniture that must return to use quickly
  • Upholstery with limited ventilation
  • Some office and hotel furniture

This method uses controlled cleaning solutions and minimal moisture to improve appearance without unnecessarily soaking the furniture.

Sofa and Couch Cleaning Services

Sofas are among the most frequently used upholstered items in homes and workplaces.

We professionally clean:

  • One-seat armchairs
  • Two-seater sofas
  • Three-seater sofas
  • Four-seater sofas
  • Five-seater sofas
  • L-shaped sofas
  • Sectional sofas
  • Modular sofas
  • Recliners
  • Sofa beds
  • Office sofas
  • Hotel lounge furniture

Our sofa cleaning process helps remove dust, body oils, food spills, pet hair, stains, and unpleasant smells.

Standard sofa cleaning prices start from KSh 500 per seat.

Mattress Upholstery Cleaning

Mattresses absorb sweat, body oils, dust, dead skin cells, and everyday household contamination.

Professional mattress cleaning helps remove:

  • Dust
  • Surface dirt
  • Sweat marks
  • Body oils
  • Mild stains
  • Allergens
  • Unpleasant odours

We clean:

  • Single mattresses
  • Double mattresses
  • Queen-size mattresses
  • King-size mattresses
  • Children’s mattresses
  • Hotel mattresses
  • Hospital mattresses
  • Hostel and school mattresses

Mattress cleaning prices depend on size, condition, stain treatment, and location. Contact Ella Cleaning Services for a quotation.

Dining Chair Cleaning Services

Dining chairs frequently develop food stains, grease, drink spills, and body oil marks.

We clean:

  • Fabric dining chairs
  • Leather dining chairs
  • Cushioned dining chairs
  • Banquet chairs
  • Restaurant chairs
  • Hotel dining chairs
  • Conference chairs

Our technicians pay special attention to seat cushions, backrests, piping, corners, and high-contact areas.

Standard dining chair cleaning starts from approximately KSh 300 per chair, depending on size and upholstery type.

Office Chair Cleaning Services

Office chairs are used for many hours each day and may accumulate sweat, dust, body oils, food particles, and drink stains.

Our office chair cleaning service covers:

  • Executive chairs
  • Fabric task chairs
  • Visitor chairs
  • Boardroom chairs
  • Conference chairs
  • Reception chairs
  • Training room chairs
  • Call-centre chairs
  • Staffroom furniture

We offer one-time cleaning and scheduled maintenance for offices with multiple chairs.

Appointments can be arranged outside normal operating hours to reduce disruption.

Recliner Cleaning Services

Recliners contain moving parts, deep folds, seams, and padded areas where dust and crumbs accumulate.

Our recliner cleaning process includes:

  • Vacuuming folds and seams
  • Spot treatment
  • Fabric or leather cleaning
  • Extraction where suitable
  • Deodorising
  • Careful moisture control

Recliner cleaning prices start from approximately KSh 800, depending on size, condition, and upholstery material.

Headboard Cleaning Services

Upholstered headboards gradually collect dust, hair products, sweat, skin oils, and marks from regular contact.

We clean:

  • Fabric headboards
  • Velvet headboards
  • Padded wall panels
  • Hotel headboards
  • Decorative upholstered panels

Professional cleaning can improve freshness and reduce visible dirt without unnecessarily soaking the material.

Ottoman and Upholstered Bench Cleaning

Ottomans and benches are commonly used as footrests, storage furniture, bedroom seating, and reception furniture.

They frequently collect:

  • Dust
  • Shoe marks
  • Food stains
  • Body oils
  • Pet hair
  • Everyday grime

We clean fabric, leather, and synthetic ottomans using methods selected for the upholstery material.

Upholstery Stain Removal Services

Stains should be treated according to their chemical composition and the type of furniture material.

We commonly treat:

  • Coffee stains
  • Tea stains
  • Juice spills
  • Soft drinks
  • Wine stains
  • Chocolate
  • Food sauces
  • Cooking oil
  • Grease
  • Ink
  • Marker pen
  • Mud
  • Makeup
  • Sweat marks
  • Milk
  • Baby food
  • Pet accidents

Fresh stains usually respond better than old stains. Repeated DIY treatments may also make professional removal more difficult.

Although many stains can be removed or significantly improved, no responsible cleaning company should guarantee complete removal of every mark.

Pet Hair, Pet Stain and Odour Removal

Pets can leave fur, dander, muddy marks, urine stains, body oils, and persistent smells on upholstered furniture.

Our pet-related upholstery cleaning may include:

  • Deep vacuuming
  • Fur removal
  • Stain pre-treatment
  • Extraction cleaning
  • Odour treatment
  • Deodorising
  • Sanitising where appropriate

Odour treatment aims to address the source rather than simply cover it with fragrance.

Severe contamination that has penetrated deeply into foam or wooden furniture components may require repeated treatment or replacement of affected materials.

Smoke and Cooking Odour Treatment

Upholstery can absorb cigarette smoke, cooking smells, food odours, and environmental pollution.

Our cleaning process helps reduce these smells through:

  • Deep vacuuming
  • Upholstery cleaning
  • Extraction
  • Deodorising
  • Improved ventilation during drying

Results depend on the severity and duration of contamination. Where smoke has affected walls, ceilings, curtains, carpets, and internal furniture filling, a complete property deodorising service may also be necessary.

Upholstery Sanitising and Deodorising

Cleaning, sanitising, and deodorising are related but different processes.

Cleaning physically removes dirt and residues.

Sanitising helps reduce microorganisms on suitable surfaces.

Deodorising targets unpleasant smells.

Depending on the furniture and customer requirements, we may combine these services during one appointment.

Upholstery sanitising is especially useful for:

  • Family homes
  • Offices
  • Schools
  • Hotels
  • Airbnb properties
  • Clinics
  • Waiting rooms
  • Churches
  • Frequently used commercial seating

OfficesEvery 6 months
Reception areasEvery 3–6 months
HotelsEvery 3 months

Airbnb propertiesEvery 2–4 months
SchoolsEvery school holiday or every 6 months
ChurchesEvery 4–6 months
Hospitals and clinicsAccording to usage and facility policy

Furniture exposed to spills, heavy traffic, dust, pets, or strong odours may require more frequent cleaning.

Upholstery Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

Incorrect cleaning can spread stains, damage fibres, leave sticky residue, or create long drying times.

Avoid:

  • Applying bleach
  • Using strong washing powder
  • Mixing cleaning chemicals
  • Scrubbing aggressively
  • Saturating furniture with water
  • Applying heat without checking the fabric
  • Using hard brushes
  • Using coloured cloths that may transfer dye
  • Sitting on upholstery before it dries
  • Ignoring manufacturer care instructions
  • Treating leather with ordinary fabric detergent

When uncertain, professional inspection is safer than experimenting with strong household products.

How to Maintain Upholstery Between Professional Cleanings

Simple maintenance helps keep furniture cleaner for longer.

Vacuum Weekly

Use a suitable upholstery attachment to remove dust, crumbs, hair, and pet fur.

Treat Spills Quickly

Blot spills using a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing.

Rotate Removable Cushions

Rotating cushions promotes even use and reduces concentrated wear.

Keep Furniture Away from Direct Sunlight

Strong sunlight may fade colours and dry leather.

Improve Room Ventilation

Good airflow reduces dampness and helps control odours.

Avoid Eating on Delicate Furniture

This reduces the risk of food, grease, and drink stains.

Schedule Routine Professional Cleaning

Regular maintenance is easier and often more affordable than restoring heavily soiled upholstery.

How Long Does Upholstery Cleaning Take?

Cleaning time depends on the number of items, furniture design, material, level of dirt, and stain treatment required.

Typical time estimates include:

  • One armchair: Approximately 20–40 minutes
  • Standard sofa set: Approximately 45 minutes to 2 hours
  • Mattress: Approximately 30–60 minutes
  • Dining chairs: Based on quantity and condition
  • Office projects: Scheduled according to the number of furniture items

Large commercial projects may be completed in phases.

How Long Does Upholstery Take to Dry?

Most fabric upholstery dries within approximately 1–2 hours under normal conditions.

Drying time depends on:

  • Fabric thickness
  • Foam density
  • Ventilation
  • Humidity
  • Weather
  • Cleaning method
  • Amount of moisture used

Thick upholstery may take up to three hours or longer in humid conditions.

Opening windows, improving airflow, or using professional carpet and upholstery blowers can reduce drying time.

Leather furniture is normally ready for use soon after cleaning and conditioning.

Upholstery Cleaning Price Factors

The final price may depend on:

  • Furniture type
  • Number of seats
  • Upholstery material
  • Furniture size
  • Level of soiling
  • Stain treatment
