How to Clean Velvet Sofas

How do you clean velvet sofas? If that's what you searched for online, you've come to the right place.

In this article, we'll try to share as much useful information as we can on the topic.

Velvet sofas are especially comfortable, and beyond comfort, they give off a sense of luxury and add a lot to your living room.

Beyond their beauty and comfort, velvet living room sets can last for many years, as long as you keep up with weekly maintenance yourself and book a professional cleaning at least once a year.

On your end, all you really need to do is vacuum and brush the fabric along the direction of the pile once a week.

If your living room set has picked up stains, or you just feel like refreshing it, professional cleaning is definitely a great idea.

Even if the sofa looks clean, it's still absorbing plenty of dust, bacteria, and more, which is why a thorough cleaning is so important — it restores the sofa and helps preserve it for many years.

Want to keep your sofa stain-free all year round without having to book a cleaning every few months?

Ask our team about our stain-repellent treatment.

It's a product that keeps velvet fabric, or any other fabric, from absorbing liquids, so in the event of an accident you'll have enough time to blot up the liquid with a simple paper towel.

So how do you clean velvet sofas?

First, we apply an even layer of a pre-wash product that dissolves any stubborn dirt.

After waiting fifteen to twenty minutes, we begin the actual wash using a professional product made specifically for cleaning velvet upholstery.

We go over the entire sofa thoroughly and evenly, extracting all the water back out along with all the heavy dirt.

After that, we do an additional extraction pass and also apply an odor-neutralizing product.

The most important thing is getting the products right — an unsuitable cleaning product might remove the dirt, but it will also damage the upholstery itself.

Sometimes you can spot the damage right away, and sometimes not — issues can start showing up after drying, or even after several days or weeks.

What are the drying times, and how do I get a price quote?

Drying times vary based on the fabric type, the size of the sofa, and its condition — the dirtier it is, the higher the cleaning price.

To get a price quote, take a close-up photo of the fabric and another photo of the whole sofa, and send us the pictures by email or WhatsApp.
