What Is Professional Upholstery Cleaning
in Melbourne?
Professional upholstery cleaning uses hot water extraction — industry-grade equipment that injects heated water and eco-friendly cleaning solution deep into fabric fibres, then powerfully extracts it along with embedded dirt, body oils, stains, bacteria, allergens and dust mites. The result goes far beyond anything a household vacuum or spray-and-wipe can achieve — your furniture is genuinely clean, not just surface-fresh.
Martin Steam Cleaning inspects every piece of upholstery before selecting the safest method for your specific fabric — ensuring a thorough deep clean with no risk of shrinkage, colour bleed or damage to delicate materials.
We clean all upholstered furniture: fabric sofas, couches, lounge suites, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, fabric bed heads and more — across all Melbourne suburbs.
Upholstery We Clean Across Melbourne
From fabric sofas to dining chairs — if it’s upholstered, we clean it. Every piece is inspected and treated with the correct method for its specific fabric type.
6 Reasons to Professionally Clean Your Upholstery
Your upholstered furniture harbours far more than visible stains. Professional cleaning removes what you can’t see — and protects your investment for years to come.
Eliminates Allergens, Dust Mites & Bacteria
Fabric upholstery traps dust mites, pet dander, pollen and bacteria deep in its fibres. Hot water extraction at high temperature kills these at the source — essential for allergy and asthma sufferers.
Removes Odours at the Source
Pet urine, sweat, food and musty odours are neutralised with enzyme treatments — not just masked with fragrance. The smell is genuinely gone, not temporarily covered up.
Restores Colour & Freshness
Years of body oil build-up dulls fabric colour and creates a greasy feel. Deep extraction lifts this residue completely — restoring your upholstery’s original vibrancy and fresh feel.
Tackles Tough Stains Safely
Wine, coffee, blood, ink, pet stains and food marks are pre-treated with the correct specialist solution for your fabric type — maximising removal without risking colour bleed or shrinkage.
Dry & Ready in 2–4 Hours
Our professional extraction equipment removes the vast majority of moisture during the clean — most upholstery is dry and ready to use within 2–4 hours with good ventilation. No multi-day wait.
Extends Furniture Lifespan
Body oils, dirt and grit abrade fabric fibres over time — causing premature pilling, wear and discolouration. Regular professional cleaning removes these damaging particles, extending your furniture’s life by years.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Process
A meticulous, fabric-specific approach that delivers genuine deep-clean results — without risk of damage to your furniture.
Inspect & Test Fabric
We identify your upholstery fabric type and run a spot test in a hidden area to confirm colour-fastness and fabric safety — ensuring the correct method is chosen before we begin.
Pre-Vacuum & Pre-Treat Stains
Professional-grade HEPA vacuuming removes loose debris from all seams, crevices and surfaces. Stubborn stains are pre-treated with targeted specialist solutions to maximise removal.
Hot Water Extraction Deep Clean
Heated water and eco-safe cleaning solution is injected deep into the fabric fibres, then powerfully extracted — lifting embedded dirt, oils, allergens and bacteria from deep within the upholstery.
Groom, Dry & Final Inspection
Fabric is groomed to restore the pile and ensure even drying. We do a full walkthrough — checking every surface, seam and cushion — we don’t leave until you’re completely satisfied.

What Melbourne Customers Say About Us
Real reviews from Melbourne homeowners who trusted Martin Steam Cleaning with their upholstery.
“Our grey fabric sofa had years of body oil build-up and a large pet stain we thought was permanent. Martin’s team completely transformed it — the colour looks brighter than when we bought it. Absolutely stunned by the result.”
“My velvet armchair had a nasty red wine stain that I’d been ignoring for months. Called Martin same day and he got it out completely. He also explained exactly what he was using and why — so professional and knowledgeable.”
“We have two dogs and the lounge smelled terrible despite regular vacuuming. Martin used an enzyme treatment and it genuinely neutralised the smell — not just covered it up. The couch also looks incredible. Book him, seriously.”
Upholstery Cleaning Questions Answered
Everything Melbourne homeowners and businesses need to know about professional upholstery cleaning.
A standard 3-seater sofa takes approximately 45–60 minutes to clean. Larger sectionals or complete lounge suites may take 1.5–2.5 hours. Most upholstery is dry and ready to use within 2–4 hours after cleaning with good ventilation.
Not all fabrics suit hot water extraction — delicate materials like velvet or certain wools may require a dry-cleaning method instead. Martin Steam Cleaning always tests your specific fabric before selecting the safest, most effective cleaning method. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach.
We clean all fabric upholstery types — microfibre, velvet, chenille, linen, cotton blends and synthetic fabrics. We clean sofas, couches, lounge suites, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, fabric bed heads, car seats and commercial upholstery across Melbourne.
Yes. We use specialist enzyme-based treatments that break down pet urine, faeces and odour compounds at the molecular level — genuinely neutralising the smell, not just masking it with fragrance. Most pet stains and odours are fully resolved in a single treatment.
