Refresh the Fabric in Your Home

Professional upholstery cleaning for sofas, chairs, and fabric furniture in Albuquerque and surrounding areas.

Sofas and chairs collect dust, body oils, pet dander, and spills that settle into fabric fibers over time. In Albuquerque, where dust and allergens are common, upholstered furniture can start to look dingy and smell stale even when the rest of your home is clean.

Dirt Doctor Carpet Cleaning uses gentle yet effective methods to clean fabric furniture without damaging the material. The process removes stains, odors, and embedded dirt while protecting the integrity of the fabric. Your furniture will look cleaner, smell fresher, and feel more comfortable after the service is complete.

What We Do When Cleaning Fabric Furniture

We begin by inspecting your furniture in your Albuquerque home to identify fabric type, stains, and areas with heavy use. Then we vacuum the surface to remove loose dirt and dust before applying a cleaning solution that breaks down oils and grime without soaking the fabric.

Once the cleaning is done, your furniture will look brighter, feel softer, and no longer carry odors from pets, food, or body oils. Stains that were visible before will either be gone or significantly lighter.

We use low-moisture cleaning methods to avoid overwetting the fabric, which can lead to mold or long drying times. Most upholstered furniture is dry and ready to use again within two to four hours, depending on the fabric and humidity in your home.

How long does it take for upholstery to dry after cleaning?
Most fabric furniture dries within two to four hours. You can speed up drying by opening windows, running fans, or turning on air conditioning to improve airflow.

What types of stains can be removed from upholstery?
We can remove or significantly lighten most stains including food, pet accidents, dirt, and body oils. Set-in stains or dye-based spills may fade but not disappear completely.

Why does my furniture smell even though it looks clean?
Odors settle deep in the fabric and cushion padding where surface cleaning does not reach. Deep cleaning pulls out the dirt and bacteria that cause those smells.

How often should I have my upholstery cleaned?
Most homes benefit from upholstery cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes with pets, kids, or high furniture use may need cleaning more often to keep fabric fresh.
