Upholstery Cleaning Service Cape Town
weClean provides a professional upholstery cleaning service in Cape Town for homes, offices and rental properties. Whether it’s a sofa, sectional couch, dining chairs, ottomans or office chairs, we use an industrial injection extraction method to deep clean upholstered furniture and remove dirt, stains and allergens that regular vacuuming cannot reach.
Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Makes a Difference
Most upholstery looks clean on the surface but contains a build-up of dust, dead skin cells, pet dander, moisture and bacteria deep within the fabric fibres. Over time this affects both the appearance and the hygiene of your furniture, and can contribute to poor indoor air quality, particularly for allergy sufferers.
Professional upholstery cleaning goes beyond what a household vacuum can achieve. Our injection extraction method reaches deep into the fabric to loosen and remove embedded dirt and contaminants, leaving your furniture clean, fresh and significantly improved in appearance.
We recommend having your upholstery professionally cleaned at least once a year. Homes with children, pets or heavy daily use may benefit from cleaning every six months.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Method
weClean uses the injection extraction method for all upholstery cleaning. This involves:
Cold water and specially formulated, fabric-safe chemicals that are sprayed at high pressure directly into the upholstery fibres. The solution is then agitated to loosen embedded dirt and stains. Industrial strength vacuum suction then extracts the moisture, dirt and chemicals from the fabric.
The suction is powerful enough that the upholstery is not left soaking wet. Most pieces dry within a few hours depending on the fabric type and ventilation. We do not use the dry method.
All equipment and chemicals are supplied by us. Our services are owner-supervised on every job.
What We Clean
Our upholstery cleaning service in Cape Town covers:
Sofas and sectional couches, armchairs and recliners, dining room chairs, ottomans and footstools, office chairs, headboards and fabric bed bases.
Please note we do not clean leather furniture. If you are unsure whether your upholstery is suitable for our cleaning method, contact us before booking and we will advise you accordingly.
Tips for Maintaining Your Upholstery Between Cleans
Vacuum your upholstery at least once a week to prevent surface dirt from working its way deeper into the fibres. When spills occur, act immediately, blot the area with a clean cloth rather than rubbing, which spreads the stain. Use a heavily diluted dish washing liquid solution if needed, always testing on a hidden area first. Never use harsh ammoniated or bleach cleaners as these can permanently damage colour fastness. If a stain does not respond to home treatment, contact a professional upholstery cleaning service in Cape Town as soon as possible, the longer a stain is left, the harder it becomes to remove.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does upholstery cleaning take? Most jobs take between one and three hours depending on the number of pieces and their condition.
How long does upholstery take to dry after cleaning? Most upholstery dries within four to eight hours. Good ventilation speeds up the drying process. We recommend opening windows and doors after the clean where possible. Expect extended drying times in the colder months.
Does the cleaning process get the floor wet? Some moisture may reach the floor during the cleaning process. We do our best to minimise this but clients with laminate or wooden floors should let us know in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements. Where possible we recommend cleaning outside. Contact us to discuss your specific situation before booking.
Do you clean leather furniture? No. Our injection extraction method is not suitable for leather. We clean fabric upholstery only.
Do you move furniture before cleaning? We ask that large items be moved to an accessible position before we arrive where possible. We can assist with lighter items on the day.
Which areas in Cape Town do you service? We cover most areas across Cape Town. Contact us to confirm availability in your specific area.
How often should I have my upholstery professionally cleaned? We recommend once a year for most households. Homes with pets, children or allergy sufferers may benefit from cleaning every six months.
