Upholstery Cleaning Cost

Typical costs:

• The cost of cleaning furniture upholstery varies, depending on the size of the piece being cleaned. To have a dining room chair professionally cleaned, for example, it typically costs $10-$120. Stanley Steamer^[1] , which has franchises throughout the United States, charges $12 to clean a dining room chair. Larger pieces are more expensive. A sectional sofa can cost from $200-$500 to be cleaned. Chem-Dry^[2] , a division of The Home Depot, charges $224-$448 to clean the upholstery on a sectional sofa, depending on the cleaning package the customer selects.
• Upholstery cleaning can be done at home with cleaning supplies available in most big-box retailers. National retailers including The Home Depot^[3] sell a variety of spot removers and upholstery cleaners for $5-$50, depending on the quantity and strength of the product.
• Cleaning the upholstery in automobiles is typically part of interior auto detailing work. Interior detail work generally costs $80-$130, which covers steam cleaning interior fabrics. Cleaning leather upholstery typically costs $50-$75.

• Professional upholstery cleaning services start with a thorough inspection of the item being cleaned. The technician typically applies a heated cleaning solution to the upholstery to loosen dirt. Then, the fabric is rinsed and dirt is extracted using specialized tools. A final step is to add a protective coating that repels stains.

• Some businesses add a protective solution to pieces of furniture to help prevent stains. Sears^[4] charges $20-$35 for an added level of upholstery protection that helps preserve color and helps lengthen the life of the fabric.
