What’s not included
To keep your furniture safe and to work within manufacturer guidance, we do not include:

- Suede, nubuck or other non-wet-cleanable fabrics
- Structural repairs to frames, springs or padding

Our Step-by-Step Upholstery Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & clear quotation
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask for a few details: the number and type of items, fabric if known, age of the furniture, and any particular stains (such as food, drinks, pets or ink). Wherever possible, we provide a clear, fixed quotation in advance. For larger jobs, we may give a price range initially, to be confirmed after survey.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
Before we start cleaning, we carry out a short survey. This may be via photos or video call for straightforward pieces, or onsite for complex fabrics, commercial premises or older upholstery. We check:
- Fabric type and condition
- Colour fastness and potential for dye bleed
- Existing wear, fading or damage
- Access, power and parking arrangements
This survey lets us confirm the price, set expectations about likely results and ensure the correct method is used.
3. Preparation on the day
When we arrive, we protect the surrounding area before any work begins. Our preparation typically includes:
- Placing protective sheets over nearby flooring
- Vacuuming upholstery to remove loose dust and debris
- Pre-treating marks and heavy-use areas with suitable stain solutions
- Choosing between hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning depending on fabric
We then carry out the cleaning method agreed, followed by careful pile grooming and accelerated drying where possible. Before we leave, we invite you to inspect the furniture with us.
Transparent Upholstery Cleaning Prices
We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. Our charges are typically based on:
- Type and size of item (e.g. two-seater vs corner sofa)
- Number of items cleaned in one visit
- Fabric type and overall condition
- Access and parking requirements
We provide a clear written or emailed quotation before confirming your booking, so you know exactly what is included. For larger homes or commercial work, we can itemise costs per piece or per area to make budgeting easier. There are no hidden charges for standard stain treatments performed during the booked clean.
Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Beats DIY
Shop-bought sprays and hire machines can seem tempting, but they often leave too much moisture and detergent in the fabric. This can lead to shrinkage, colour bleed, rapid re-soiling and sometimes permanent marks. Our professional equipment is designed to deliver controlled moisture, strong but safe extraction and the correct solutions for specific fibres.
We test for colour fastness before using any solution and work methodically to avoid watermarking and over-wetting. Most importantly, we have the knowledge to say when a stain is unlikely to come out – helping you avoid making things worse with harsh chemicals.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture is important, and we treat it that way. Oven Cleaning Bromley operates with:
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage in your home or business
- Goods in transit insurance for any items we may need to transport (for example, removable cushions taken offsite by prior agreement)
- Trained cleaning teams experienced in handling a wide range of fabrics and fillings
We follow recognised cleaning standards and always complete safety checks before choosing solutions, temperatures and methods. If we believe an item cannot be safely cleaned to a high standard, we will advise you rather than take unnecessary risks.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to clean in a way that protects both your furniture and the environment. Our approach includes:
- Using modern, low-residue detergents that rinse out cleanly
- Conserving water through efficient machinery
- Avoiding unnecessary harsh chemicals wherever possible
- Protecting surrounding surfaces and flooring with covers
- Advising you on simple maintenance to make your upholstery last longer
By restoring rather than replacing, professional upholstery cleaning can extend the life of your furniture and reduce waste. We’ll also share practical aftercare tips, such as vacuuming routines and how to deal with future spills quickly and safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does upholstery cleaning in Bromley cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the type and size of each item, plus the overall condition. As a guide, a single armchair is usually less than a sofa, and we can often offer better value when cleaning several items in one visit. Heavily soiled or delicate fabrics may take longer and be priced accordingly. Once we know what you have – for example, a three-piece suite and dining chairs – we provide a clear, fixed quotation so you know the total cost before you book.
Do you offer same-day or urgent upholstery cleaning?
Same-day or next-day appointments are sometimes possible, particularly for urgent spillages, but they depend on our schedule in Bromley at the time you call. If you have a fresh stain, contact us as soon as possible and avoid using off-the-shelf products, as they can set the mark. We’ll always do our best to prioritise genuine emergencies, especially for businesses or before key events, and can advise immediate first steps even if we can’t attend that day.
Are you insured while cleaning my furniture?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability insurance covering our work on your premises, giving peace of mind if anything unexpected occurs. Where we have agreed to move or transport loose items – such as separate cushions – we also have appropriate goods in transit insurance. In addition, our technicians are appropriately trained and follow structured procedures, including patch testing. If we feel an item is too fragile or risky to clean safely, we will explain this clearly before proceeding.
What exactly is included in your upholstery cleaning service?
Our standard service includes a pre-clean inspection, dry vacuuming, targeted stain pre-treatment where appropriate, and either hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning depending on the fabric. We also include basic deodorising and post-clean grooming of the pile to help the furniture dry evenly and look its best. Any extras or limitations – for example, protector treatments or items that cannot be wet cleaned – are discussed and agreed before we start. Our aim is always to leave the upholstery cleaner, fresher and safe for normal use once dry.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, booking 1–2 weeks ahead is ideal, particularly if you need a specific day or have several items. That said, we often have space for smaller jobs within a few days, especially if you can be flexible with time slots. If you have a fixed deadline – such as moving out, hosting guests, or a business event – let us know when you enquire so we can advise availability and schedule your upholstery cleaning to fit comfortably around your plans.
