Upholstery Cleaning in Kensington, room by room
Fabric check
We read the care code and test an unseen area first, then choose hot-water extraction for robust fabrics or a low-moisture method for delicate ones.
Dry soil removal
Crumbs, pet hair and dust are vacuumed out of seams and cushions before any moisture is used.
Pre-treatment
Body oils on arms and headrests and everyday spills are treated so they release during cleaning. In Kensington, where many homes are mansion-block flats, new-build apartments and serviced lets, this is often where we spend the most time.
Cleaning and rinsing
The fabric is cleaned and rinsed to remove residue, which is what makes upholstery feel stiff and attract dirt again.
Drying
Most sofas are dry in a few hours. We leave cushions positioned to dry evenly and advise when the piece can be used. Our teams working in Kensington allow extra time here for high-rise glazing and compact kitchens that need detailing.

What affects the price in Kensington?
We price upholstery cleaning in Kensington by property size rather than by the hour, which keeps things simple and fair. Extras are shown with their own fixed price, and online bookings are confirmed instantly.
Because much of Kensington is made up of mansion-block flats, new-build apartments and serviced lets, the details that affect time are usually high-rise glazing and compact kitchens that need detailing and access — concierge desks, parking permits and tight lift schedules. Add these to your booking notes and your team will plan for them.

When to book upholstery cleaning in Kensington
Book specialist cleaning before guests arrive, before a sale or move, or once a year as routine care. For Kensington homes with pets or young children, every 6 to 12 months keeps fabrics fresh. Morning slots give carpets and sofas the whole day to dry.
Making the results last
Professional cleaning restores fabrics and appliances, but a few habits keep them looking good for longer. Blot spills straight away rather than rubbing, vacuum high-traffic areas more often, and use door mats to stop grit reaching carpets.
For ovens, a liner on the base tray and wiping spills once the oven has cooled prevents carbon building up. For sofas, rotating cushions and vacuuming weekly spreads wear evenly.
Most homes in Kensington benefit from a professional carpet and upholstery clean every 12 to 18 months, or every 6 to 12 months with pets or young children.
