Having your sofa professionally cleaned is the best way to preserve its lifespan over the years.

A sofa cleaning service can deep clean your sitting area, tackling even the toughest stains and removing any build up of dirt imaginable.

What’s more, many sofas are made of different materials, each requiring separate cleaning treatments. For example, you wouldn’t clean a suede sofa in the same way as a fabric one.

With so many benefits of having your sofa cleaned, the next question people ask is ‘how much does sofa cleaning cost’ and is it even worth it?

In this blog post, we aim to answer those questions so let’s dive in.

How much does sofa cleaning cost?

While not every material sofa is the same, nor is every job equal in terms of product and time usage, here is the average cost of sofa cleaning:

3 seater sofa £50

3 seater corner sofa £55

4 seater sofa £55

4 seater corner sofa £60

5 seater corner sofa £70

These prices are based on averages. If you have particularly tough stains to remove then the prices can increase, whereas if your sofas just need a freshen up then they could cost less.

It’s always important to remember that companies will have a minimum charge fee.

3 seater £60

*please note, if these types of sofas are heavily stained you should add £15 to the final price as the time taken and product used will be greater.

Will I get a discount for multiple sofa bookings?
