Why clean your sofa

What your sofa is hiding.And what our machines pull out.

Vaporex technician cleaning a blue velvet sofa with injection-extraction in a Barcelona living room

A sofa is the most-used piece of furniture in the home: meals, naps, pets, children. Over time the fabric soaks up sweat, body oils and dust, and the padding becomes home to dust mites. A vacuum cleans the surface; what smells and what triggers allergies is a few centimetres further down.

  • Set-in stains from wine, coffee, urine, vomit or grease, including ones that have been there for months.
  • Odours from damp, tobacco smoke or pets that come back every time it warms up.
  • Dust mites, bacteria and allergens built up in the padding, a common cause of rhinitis and night-time itching.
  • General grime that dulls the colour and makes a three-year-old sofa look ten.

Injection‑extraction forces hot water and eco-friendly detergent deep into the padding and sucks it back out in the same pass, drawing the dirt out. It doesn’t spread it around or push it further in, which is what happens with a sponge or a household cleaner.

On video

This is how we clean a sofa.No cuts, no camera tricks.

A real job in a Barcelona flat. Watch how the colour of the water the machine extracts changes: that’s the dirt that was inside the padding.

  1. Deep vacuuming

    Upholstery nozzle over seats, backs, arms and the gaps between cushions. It lifts dust, hair and dry debris before anything gets wet; otherwise they’d turn to mud.

  2. Stain pre-treatment

    Each stain gets its own product: enzymatic for organic stains (urine, vomit, food), degreaser for body oils, and a dedicated treatment for tannins such as wine or coffee. It’s left to work for a few minutes.

  3. Injection‑extraction

    Hot water and eco-friendly detergent forced into the padding and extracted in the same pass. Cushion by cushion, sides and back included. This is where the water comes out dark.

  4. Disinfection and odour neutralisation

    A second pass with disinfectant kills dust mites, bacteria and allergens, and breaks down the cause of the odour instead of masking it with fragrance.

  5. Brushing and fast drying

    Brushing with the pile so the fabric looks even and free of water rings, plus forced air to speed up drying. We check the result with you before we leave.

What’s included

A complete service.Not just "running a machine over it".

  • Initial fabric checkWe check the label, colourfastness and the condition of the seams before touching anything.
  • Deep vacuumingWith an upholstery nozzle on seats, backs, arms, piping and the gaps between cushions.
  • Stain treatmentA specific product for each stain. We don’t use bleach or harsh solvents.
  • Injection‑extractionHot water and eco-friendly detergent under pressure, extracted in the same pass.
  • DisinfectionKills dust mites, bacteria and allergens. Safe for children and pets.
  • Odour neutralisationWe don’t mask the smell with fragrance: we remove the cause in the padding.
  • Removable cushion coversIf your sofa has them, we clean both sides and leave them to air.
  • Final check with youBefore we leave, we look at the result together. If anything’s not right, we redo it.

Fabrics

The right method for every fabric.None comes out worse than it went in.

Fabric and cotton
The most common case. Full-pressure injection‑extraction and quick drying.
Chenille and microfibre
They clean up very well. A final brush with the pile so no marks are left.
Natural and synthetic velvet
Low pressure, a neutral product and brushing in one direction only. See photo.
Linen and blends
Colourfastness test on a hidden area before we start.
Canvas and technical fabrics
Outdoor and office sofas. They can take high pressure and hotter water.
Leather and faux leather
Specialist cleaning without pressurised water, plus conditioner to stop it cracking.

Not sure what your sofa is made of? Send us a photo of the label or a close-up of the fabric and we’ll tell you.

Stains and odours

What we remove.And when we can’t, we tell you first.

Stains

  • Pet or baby urine and faeces
  • Vomit and food residue
  • Wine, coffee, tea and soft drinks
  • Body oils on arms and headrests
  • Chocolate, sauces and oil
  • Wear marks and darkened areas

Odours

  • Dog or cat urine, even long-standing
  • Damp and mustiness
  • Tobacco smoke
  • Sweat
  • Vomit and milk
  • That "second-hand sofa" smell

In all honesty

An ink or hair-dye stain, or bleach discolouration, isn’t dirt: it’s a change in the colour of the fabric. If we spot one like that in your photo, we’ll tell you before we come and explain how much improvement is realistic. We’d rather lose a job than leave you with a nasty surprise.

Price

What it costs.A fixed price, before we come.

We don’t charge by the hour or say "we’ll see when we get there". With a photo of your sofa and your town, we give you a fixed price that includes travel, products, labour and our guarantee. That’s the price you pay when we finish, in cash or by bank transfer.

The price depends on three things:

Size
2-seater, 3-seater, chaise longue, corner sofa or sofa bed. Armchairs and chairs are quoted separately.
Fabric
Standard fabric, chenille or microfibre have one price; velvet, linen and leather take more time and specialist products.
Condition
A yearly maintenance clean doesn’t cost the same as a sofa with old urine stains or lots of pet hair.

Free cancellation with 48 hours’ notice. If we clean more than one piece of furniture on the same day, the second one is cheaper: just ask.

Always included

  • Travel to your home
  • Professional machine and all products
  • Stain treatment and disinfection
  • Checking the result with you
  • Guarantee: we come back free of charge if anything isn’t right

What you won’t see

  • Extra charges for a "tough stain" at the end
  • Assessment visits beforehand
  • Products with a chemical smell that lingers for days

Customer reviews

Light fabric sofa with two-year-old stains that I’d given up on. It came out like the day we bought it and by six in the evening we were sitting on it again. Punctual and very tidy while they worked.

Marta G. 3-seater sofa, Eixample

Our chaise longue had a dog smell that nothing would shift. After the clean it disappeared completely, there was no product smell and the fabric hasn’t lost its shape.

Carles M. Chaise longue, Sant Cugat

They gave me a price on WhatsApp from a photo and it was exactly what I paid. The technician explained every step and showed me the water coming out of the machine. I’ll be booking them again for the mattresses.

Frequently asked questions

Questions aboutcleaning your sofa.

Need to know anything else?
Call us on 628 66 38 80.

How much does sofa cleaning cost in Barcelona?

It depends on the size, fabric and condition. Send us a photo and your town and we’ll give you a fixed price on WhatsApp, including travel, products and guarantee. No extra charges at the end.

How long does the sofa take to dry?

Between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the fabric and how well ventilated your home is. The machine extracts most of the water in the same pass, so the sofa is left damp, not wet. If we clean in the morning, you can use it by the evening.

Can a fabric sofa be cleaned without it losing its shape or shrinking?

Yes. We use temperature-controlled hot water, never boiling, and test colourfastness on a hidden area before we start. On delicate fabrics we lower the pressure. After hundreds of sofas, losing shape just isn’t a real risk with this method.

Do you get rid of dog or cat urine smells?

Yes, and it’s one of the most common requests we get. Urine soaks into the padding, which is why surface cleaners don’t work. We inject an enzyme product that breaks down the cause of the odour and then extract it. We don’t mask it with perfume.

What products do you use? Are they safe for children and pets?

Eco-friendly detergents and disinfectants with no bleach or harsh solvents, suitable for homes with children, pets and allergy sufferers. They leave no sticky residue or chemical smell.

Do I need to prepare anything before you come?

Just make sure the sofa is accessible (we’ll move it away from the wall ourselves) and there’s a socket nearby. We bring the machine, water and products. If it has removable covers, there’s no need to take them off.

How often should I have my sofa cleaned?

Once a year with normal use. Every six months if you have pets, young children or allergies at home, or if the sofa is a light colour. Cleaning it in good time adds years to the life of the upholstery.

Do you also clean armchairs, chairs and headboards?

Yes. Any upholstered furniture: armchairs, easy chairs, dining chairs, headboards, pouffes and sofa beds. If we clean them on the same day as the sofa, you get a better price for the lot.

What if I’m not happy with the result?

We check the sofa with you before we leave. If anything isn’t right, we redo it there and then or come back another day free of charge.

How do I pay, and can I cancel?

You pay when the job is finished, in cash or by bank transfer. You can cancel or rearrange your appointment free of charge with 48 hours’ notice.
