Upholstered furniture absorbs far more than most people realise — body oils, sweat, pet dander, dust mites, spilled food and drink, and airborne particles all accumulate in fabric fibres over time. Regular vacuuming removes surface debris, but it doesn't reach the oils and allergens embedded deeper in the weave. Professional upholstery cleaning uses controlled hot water extraction or dry foam methods, depending on the fabric type, to flush out that embedded contamination and restore the fabric's appearance and freshness. Max Carpet Cleaning assesses each piece before starting to determine the appropriate cleaning method — not every fabric responds the same way to heat and moisture. A microfibre three-seater is cleaned differently from a linen armchair or a wool blend dining chair. Getting this wrong can cause shrinkage, watermarking, or colour distortion — which is why using a trained technician matters. All cleaning products used are non-toxic and WoolSafe-approved — safe for children, pets, and sensitive households. For Perth families, particularly those with pets, young children, or allergy sufferers in the home, professional upholstery cleaning is one of the most effective ways to reduce the allergen load inside the home without introducing harsh chemical residues.



The signs are usually obvious: visible stains, pet hair embedded in the fabric, an odour that persists even after airing, or fabric that looks flat and dull despite regular cushion rotation. But upholstery often needs cleaning before those visible signs appear. Pet households are a particular case — pet dander and skin oils work into fabric fibres continuously and are invisible until the load becomes significant enough to cause odour or allergy symptoms. In Perth's warmer months, sweat and body oil transfer to fabric more readily, and in summer the closed-up house environment concentrates those odours. The timing of upholstery cleaning is typically linked to household events: a new pet, a baby on the way, before hosting guests, after a season of heavy use, or as part of an end-of-lease vacate clean. Max Carpet Cleaning can clean upholstery as a standalone service or combined with carpet cleaning for a more complete whole-home refresh.

Call 0432 192 382 and describe the pieces you want cleaned — fabric type if you know it, approximate size, and any specific stains or concerns. Max will advise on the appropriate method and give you a fixed price before confirming. On the day, the technician tests a small inconspicuous area of the fabric first to confirm the method is appropriate, then works through each piece systematically. Pre-treatment is applied to any visible stains before the main clean. Drying time for upholstery is typically 2–4 hours with good airflow — similar to carpet. Avoid placing cushions back or sitting on the sofa until the fabric is fully dry, as damp fabric marks more easily. A professionally cleaned lounge suite typically looks noticeably fresher, smells neutral, and feels less flat than before — and the results last significantly longer than any DIY effort.

Upholstery cleaning is priced by piece — a three-seater sofa, a two-seater, an armchair, and dining chairs are each quoted separately based on size and fabric condition. provides a fixed price before starting. Combining upholstery cleaning with carpet cleaning on the same booking is the most cost-effective approach. Call and describe what you want cleaned for a quote.
Most residential upholstery fabrics — microfibre, polyester blends, cotton weaves, and velvet — are safely cleaned with the appropriate method. always tests a small inconspicuous area first and confirms the method before proceeding with the full piece. Fabrics that require dry-clean only are assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you have a care label on your furniture, note the cleaning code before calling — it helps Max advise the right approach. Genuine leather upholstery is not covered under standard upholstery cleaning.
Pet urine odour in upholstery is one of the most common requests receives. The odour comes from uric acid crystals that bond to fabric fibres and can't be removed by surface cleaning alone. Specialist enzymatic pre-treatment is applied to break down the crystals before extraction. In most cases this significantly reduces or eliminates the odour — though very old or heavily saturated pieces may require multiple treatments. Call and describe the situation; Max will be honest about what's achievable before any work begins.
