Upholstery cleaning that extends the life of your furniture
Whether you have kids or pets, frequently host friends and family or simply are at home a lot, you know your upholstered furniture is getting a workout. Dust, pollen, germs, food crumbs, stains and blemishes can’t be avoided. But you don’t have to accept the fact that furniture is going to be dirty.
Let Chem-Dry Australia provide you with a refreshing upholstery cleaning that extends the life of your furniture and is safe and healthy for kids and pets. Our upholstery furniture cleaning services are strong enough to clean the deepest stains, gentle enough not to damage furniture, and safe for your entire family.
What happens if upholstery isn’t professionally cleaned?
❌ Furniture loses its appeal, making your living spaces feel less inviting.
❌ Stains become more noticeable as they settle deeper into the fabric.
❌ Everyday oils and residue build up from regular use, leaving upholstery looking dull.
❌ Allergens remain trapped within the fabric, even after regular vacuuming.
❌ Lingering odours develop from everyday living, pets and spills.
❌ Fabric ages more quickly as embedded dirt contributes to everyday wear.
❌ Your home feels less refreshed when tired-looking furniture becomes the focal point of the room.
❌ Replacing furniture can become more tempting when professional cleaning is delayed.

Clean upholstered furniture The Natural® Way
We use The Natural®, the same solution we use to give your upholsteries that deep-down, healthy clean, to work wonders on upholstered furniture as well.
Envision millions of tiny bubbles working away at breaking up the dirt and grime trapped deep within the fibres of your upholstered furniture so they can be easily whisked away.
That’s how our core cleaner, The Natural®, uses carbonation for a better clean and a healthier home. This cleaning method works perfectly with all types of upholstered furniture materials.
And because The Natural® doesn’t contain any soaps or detergents that can leave behind a sticky dirt-attracting residue, your upholstery stays cleaner longer.
See the difference a professional upholstery cleaning can make
Sofas, armchairs and other upholstered furniture naturally collect dirt, dust and everyday grime over time, leaving fabrics looking dull and tired. These before-and-after results show how professional upholstery cleaning can refresh your furniture and bring back a cleaner, more inviting appearance. Chem-Dry’s specialised cleaning process helps lift embedded dirt and grime while giving your upholstery the care it deserves.


From busy family sofas to much-loved armchairs, professional upholstery cleaning can help freshen the look and feel of your furniture. With expert care from Chem-Dry, you can enjoy revitalised upholstery that looks cleaner, fresher and ready to be enjoyed.

Frequently asked questions about Upholstery Cleaning
How is Chem-Dry’s upholstery cleaning different from other cleaning systems?
Chem-Dry’s upholstery cleaning uses the same Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process as its carpet cleaning. The carbonating cleaning solution lifts dirt and allergens from upholstery fibres while using less water than many traditional cleaning methods, helping furniture dry faster and stay looking its best.
How long does it take for furniture to dry?
In most cases, the furniture dries within just a couple of hours, but in some cases, it may take overnight to fully dry depending on the fabric and soil condition.
Do you offer protectant or stain guard for upholstery?
Yes, after the upholstery cleaning, you can have the furniture stain guarded with Chem-Dry’s Protectant. You can read more about our Protection Package here.
How does Chem-Dry clean upholstery?
We use our proprietary hot carbonating extraction cleaning method, featuring our core cleaner, The Natural®, when cleaning upholstery as well. The carbonated cleaning bubbles release dirt, soil, airborne allergens and spots from the upholstery fibres.
Then, we use our extraction equipment to remove the cleaning solution, dirt, soil and airborne contaminants from your furniture, leaving it with a deeper, healthier clean than other alternatives.
What types of upholstery can you clean?
Chem-Dry can clean many types of fabric upholstery, including lounges, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and sectional sofas.
Can you remove stains from upholstered furniture?
Many common stains can be treated successfully. Results depend on the type of stain, the fabric and how long the stain has been present.
How often do upholstery manufacturers recommend that you clean furniture items?
Manufacturers recommend professional upholstery cleanings every 24-48 months. As with carpets, the presence of kids, pets, allergies and asthma in the home necessitates more frequent cleanings to improve air quality and the overall healthfulness of the home.
Why should I have my upholstered furniture professionally cleaned?
In homes that have carpet, up to 80% of the dust and dirt brought into the home can end up in your furniture and upholstered fabrics.
