Upholstery Cleaning Cost

Upholstery cleaning is priced per piece, and the piece matters more than almost anything else. A single chair runs $30 to $70. A standard sofa runs $180 to $260. Fabric type moves the number too, leather and vinyl cost about 40% more than synthetic fabric to clean properly.

Cost factors

What changes the price

Piece type and size
The main driver. A dining chair and a sectional are not close to the same job.
Fabric type
Synthetic fabric costs the least to clean. Natural fabric runs about 18% more. Leather and vinyl run about 40% more and need different products entirely.
Condition
Heavy soiling or visible stains add real pre-treatment time, about 25% over light, routine soiling.
Number of pieces
Booking a full set, a sofa plus two chairs, for example, costs less per piece than booking them separately on different visits.
Pet stains and protection
Pet stain or odor treatment and a Scotchgard protective coating are both priced as add-ons, not included in a standard clean.
Frequently asked

Questions people ask before booking

How much does it cost to clean a sofa?

A standard 3-seat sofa in synthetic fabric runs $180 to $260. Leather or vinyl runs about 40% more. Enter the piece type and fabric in the calculator above for a specific number.

Is leather more expensive to clean than fabric?

Yes, about 40% more. Leather and vinyl need different cleaning products and more careful handling than fabric upholstery, which is part of why the price runs higher across almost every piece type.

How much does it cost to clean a single chair?

A dining chair, armchair, or office chair runs $30 to $70 on its own, the smallest and cheapest upholstery cleaning job.

Does Scotchgard protection help avoid future cleanings?

It helps. A Scotchgard coating repels liquids and keeps stains from setting into the fabric, which means less frequent deep cleaning is usually needed afterward. It runs $40 to $90 per piece and is applied after cleaning, not instead of it.

Is it worth treating pet stains separately?

Yes, if there actually are any. Pet stain and odor treatment uses an enzyme-based process that a standard clean does not include, and it runs $30 to $70 per piece on top of the base cleaning price.

Pick the piece and fabric that actually match what is in the room, and book multiple pieces in one visit if you have them, it costs less than spreading the same furniture across separate appointments.
