    Eliminate odours from pets, spills, or mould

    Upholstery Protection Service

    To protect you precious furniture investment, Carpet Surgeon offers an upholstery protection service. This is to prolong the appearance and life of your upholstery and is designed to protect the fabric from general spills and soiling.

    We carefully apply a protective layer to the fabric in accord with manufacturers and industry standard. The low odour and allergen free coating is designed to provide a protective film to the outside layer of the fabric.

    At Carpet Surgeon, we carefully inspect the piece of furniture prior to starting. We check all care labels and manufacturer’s instructions. Our team of technicians are fully qualified in all processes.

    The layer of film is designed to make it easier for you to blot and soak up any spills or soiling when they occur. This means no long term or permanent damage to your upholstery. The coating will wear off over time and when steam cleaned thus it will need to be re-applied after your regular cleaning schedule has been completed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: What fabric types can you clean?
    A: We clean all common residential and commercial fabric types including cotton, polyester, linen, microfibre, velvet, synthetic blends, and most woven fabrics. Before we begin, we check the fabric’s care label and assess its condition to ensure we use the right method and products. Some delicate or specialist fabrics may require a modified approach, which […]
    Q: What method do you use for fabric upholstery cleaning?
    A: We use deep steam cleaning with professional-grade equipment and biodegradable, low-allergen solutions. Hot steam penetrates deep into the fabric fibres, loosening embedded dirt, allergens, and bacteria. Powerful extraction then removes everything from the fabric. This method is thorough, safe, and leaves no soapy residue that could attract more dirt.
    Q: How long does fabric upholstery take to dry after cleaning?
    A: Most fabric upholstery is dry and usable within 2–4 hours. To speed up drying, open windows and run a fan if possible. Our equipment extracts a significant amount of moisture during the clean, which reduces drying time compared to DIY methods.
    Q: Can you remove pet hair and odours from fabric furniture?
    A: Yes, our steam cleaning process is highly effective at removing embedded pet hair, dander, and odours from fabric upholstery. For persistent pet odours, we can apply a targeted deodourising treatment that neutralises the odour at its source rather than just masking it.
    Q: Do you offer a fabric protection service after cleaning?
    A: Yes, after cleaning we can apply a fabric protector that creates a barrier against future spills and soiling. It makes it easier to blot up accidents before they set, reducing the risk of permanent staining. The protector is low-odour, allergen-free, and will need to be reapplied after each subsequent professional clean.
    Q: How often should fabric sofas and chairs be professionally cleaned?
    A: For typical household use, a professional clean every 12–18 months is a good guide. Homes with pets, young children, or high usage should aim for every 6–12 months. Regular professional cleaning not only keeps furniture looking fresh, it extends its lifespan by preventing the build-up of oils and grime that degrade fabric fibres over […]
