Upholstery & Carpet Cleaning

How is the service performed?

This service is designed to provide visible results without complications or travel. The entire process is performed at home, using equipment that combines hot water, professional detergent, and powerful suction. The goal is to remove dirt without excessive wetting or damaging the fibers.

The standard procedure includes:

1. Evaluation of the type of upholstery and visible stains The technician inspects the fabric, paying attention to its feel and texture, detecting stains, sensitive areas, or fragile seams and adapting the cleaning method to the furniture. Materials such as leather, microfiber, linen, or velvet are also identified, allowing for the selection of safe and effective products. This phase ensures that the cleaning process does not cause discoloration or deformation.
2. Deep initial aspiration Dust accumulated on the surface and inner layers of the padding is removed to prevent it from becoming damp during the process. Vacuuming includes areas such as folds, seams, gaps between cushions, and the sides of the furniture. This preparation improves detergent absorption and prevents the formation of mud or new stains during wet cleaning.
3. Application of specific detergent according to the material A chlorine-free solution is used, quick-drying detergent that removes stains from upholstery without leaving residue or altering colors. The product is sprayed evenly and left to act for a few minutes to break down grease, odors, and organic substances. The detergents are hypoallergenic and approved for use in homes with children or pets.
4. Injection and extraction cleaning or steam cleaning The system sprays and suctions simultaneously, penetrating deep into the fibers to extract dirt, dust mites, grease, and old liquids. In some cases, high-temperature steam cleaning is used to disinfect and revive colors without harsh chemicals. This step eliminates germs and neutralizes odors without soaking the furniture, which speeds up drying time.
5. Drying and final inspection Quality control is performed, any remaining residue is removed, and drying is accelerated with natural or forced ventilation if necessary. The technician checks seams, edges, and frequently touched areas to ensure the upholstery is completely clean and ready for use. Maintenance recommendations are also provided, along with suggested dates for the next professional cleaning..

This protocol applies to a wide variety of furniture: from armchairs, sofas, and chairs to mattresses, cushions, and upholstered headboards. It is also possible to request upholstery cleaning for cars, conditions permitting.

Direct benefits of professional upholstery cleaning

Upholstery cleaning on a regular basis not only beautifies your furniture, but also prolongs its lifespan and protects the health of your household members. Here's how upholstery cleaning makes a difference:

• Eliminates mites and bacteria Fabrics accumulate millions of microorganisms. Professional cleaning eradicates them using bactericidal products and techniques such as steam cleaning, ideal for disinfecting without harsh chemicals.
• Tough Stain Removal Advanced techniques allow you to remove upholstery stains such as wine, coffee, blood, or pet marks without altering the original color or damaging the material.
• Odor neutralization Body sweat, smoke, or humidity cause persistent unpleasant odors. Odors are neutralized with enzymatic products that perfume and eliminate the source of the odor.
• Specialized care by fabric type Whether velvet, linen, cotton, leather, or microfiber, each upholstery item delivered to your home receives a treatment tailored to its technical characteristics.
• Fast, residue-free drying Thanks to the injection and extraction method, the furniture remains slightly damp and is ready to use again in just a few hours, without the risk of mold or retained moisture.

In addition, professional cleaning is ideal for homes with pets, children, or people with allergies. The accumulation of fine dust and hair on fabrics is imperceptible to the eye, but it triggers reactions that affect respiratory health and sleep quality.

Why is upholster cleaning important?

A clean environment starts with the details. Upholstery cleaning isn't just a matter of aesthetics; it's about achieving deep hygiene, furniture maintenance, and daily well-being. Fabrics absorb odors, dust, allergens, and stains that become embedded over time. Only a professional service can restore their appearance and functionality without damaging the fibers.

At Domestina, each service is performed with state-of-the-art machinery, rigorous protocols, and trained personnel. Whether cleaning sofas, armchairs, chairs, or mattresses, the result is always the same: fresh, disinfected, and like-new upholstery.

Technology, products and specialized techniques

The effectiveness of professional upholstery cleaning depends largely on the equipment and protocols used. Domestina works exclusively with companies that meet rigorous standards to ensure optimal results with every service.

These are the key methods and tools Domestina professionals use to provide effective, safe, and fabric-specific upholstery cleaning:

• Injection and extraction technology this system involves applying a mixture of water and biodegradable detergent to the fabric and immediately vacuuming it up. This allows dirt to be removed without soaking or damaging the upholstery. It is ideal for cleaning sofas, mattresses, and carpets.
• Use of high-temperature steam Steam cleaning allows for disinfection without the need for harsh chemicals. Steam penetrates fabrics, dissolves organic stains, and safely eliminates pathogens.
• Fabric-specific detergents Each type of material—velvet, linen, leather, cotton, microfiber—requires a different treatment. The products applied respect the properties of each fiber, preventing discoloration, stiffness, or structural damage.
• Adapted brushes and nozzles Professional machines have accessories that allow you to treat complex areas: corners, seams, buttons, or reliefs. This ensures even cleaning across the entire surface.
• Controlled drying The cleaning process ensures that the furniture remains barely damp. Proper ventilation allows the furniture to dry completely in just a few hours, without the risk of mold or odors.

Each technique is selected based on the fabric's condition and level of soiling. This ensures that the process is effective and safe from the very beginning.

Key differences between domestic and professional cleaning

Although it may seem easy, cleaning upholstery requires much more than wiping it with a damp cloth or spraying a supermarket product. Comparing the two approaches shows why trusting Domestina is a safe investment.

Below are the main differences that make professional cleaning a clearly superior option to home cleaning methods:

• Deep cleaning – Home cleaning only works on the surface. Professional cleaning reaches deep into the padding, eliminating bacteria and revitalizing every fiber from within. This ensures true disinfection, not just a cosmetic improvement.
• Specialized tools – Instead of using ordinary sponges and detergents, technicians use industrial machines, precision nozzles, and products that are safe for each fabric. This allows them to access complex areas such as seams, reliefs, and corners.
• Long-lasting results – the effects last for months, preventing odors or stains from reappearing after just a few days. Professional service extends the life of your furniture and delays the need for replacement.
• Optimized time – A professional cleaning takes less than an hour per piece and achieves finishes that cannot be achieved with home cleaning or hours of hard work. This allows multiple pieces to be renovated in a single session without disrupting your home routine.
• Avoid irreversible damage – delicate fabrics like linen or velvet can be easily damaged by inappropriate products. Technique and experience prevent shrinkage, discoloration, or deformation in sensitive materials.

Improper cleaning is not only ineffective, but can actually worsen the condition of the furniture. Professional service ensures the preservation of its aesthetic and functional value.

Specific cases for requesting upholstery cleaning

Although periodic upholstery cleaning is recommended as part of home maintenance, there are times when this service becomes especially necessary. Identifying these situations early prevents irreparable damage or unwanted buildup.

Below are the most common situations that require specialized service to ensure deep and effective cleaning:

• After moving or renovations Construction dust or furniture movement leaves residue that's difficult to remove without technical intervention. Professional cleaning prevents dirt from becoming deeply embedded.
• Presence of pets Pet hair, urine, or secretions penetrate the fibers and cause persistent odors. In-home upholstery cleaning offers a tailored service without having to transport the furniture from your home.
• Allergens or respiratory outbreaks at home In homes with sensitive individuals, steam cleaning is recommended at least twice a year to eliminate bacteria, fungi, and microscopic dust.
• Spills of liquids or food Coffee, wine, grease, or sauces can become permanently embedded if not addressed quickly. Domestina professionals are trained to remove upholstery stains with specific solutions.
• Environments with high traffic of people Vacation rentals accumulate dirt quite quickly. Regular cleaning maintains a professional image and prevents unpleasant odors.

Requesting this service at the right time optimizes results and keeps the environment under continuous hygienic control.
