Revive Your Fabric Furniture

Upholstered furniture takes a beating — daily use, pet hair, spilled drinks, skin oils and dust mites all build up in ways that vacuuming alone can't touch. Andrew and the Alpha Fresh team use professional hot-water extraction and low-moisture techniques to deep-clean fabric at the fibre level, removing embedded soiling, odours and allergens without saturating your furniture.

Whether it's a three-seater lounge that's dulled with years of use, dining chairs stained from family meals, or a favourite armchair that needs a proper refresh, we approach every piece with care — inspecting the fabric type first so we choose the right cleaning method for it.

  • Lounge suites & sofas
  • Armchairs & ottomans
  • Dining chairs & bar stools
  • Fabric headboards
  • Office chairs
  • Outdoor fabric furniture
  • Car seat upholstery
  • Pet-odour neutralisation

We carry our own water and equipment, so there's no need to move furniture outdoors or empty rooms before we arrive. Most jobs are complete in an hour or two, with pieces ready to use again the same day once dry.

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process

1

Fabric Inspection

We check fibre type, construction and any existing damage to choose the safest, most effective cleaning method.

2

Pre-Vacuum & Pre-Treat

A thorough dry-vacuum removes loose soiling and pet hair. Stains and high-traffic areas receive targeted pre-treatment.

3

Deep Clean

Hot-water extraction or low-moisture cleaning is applied across the full piece, lifting embedded dirt, oils and allergens.

4

Groom & Dry

Fabric is groomed back to its natural pile. We advise on ventilation for fastest drying — usually 2–4 hours.

Upholstery Cleaning FAQs

How long does upholstery cleaning take?
Most sofas and lounge suites take 1–2 hours to clean. Drying time is typically 2–4 hours depending on fabric type, the amount of moisture used and how well-ventilated the room is.
Can you clean fabric sofas without soaking them?
Yes. We use low-moisture methods for delicate or moisture-sensitive fabrics, which clean thoroughly while minimising soak time and speeding up drying. We always check the care label first.
Will cleaning remove pet hair from upholstery?
Our pre-vacuum stage removes loose pet hair and dander before wet-cleaning begins. This ensures the embedded fibres get lifted during the cleaning pass rather than being pushed deeper into the weave.
Can you remove wine or coffee stains from a sofa?
Most fresh stains and many set stains respond well to targeted pre-treatment. We'll assess the stain type and age before we start and advise you honestly if a stain is unlikely to fully release.
Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?
No — we work around your furniture and clean in situ. We just need clear access to the pieces being cleaned and access to a standard power point. No need to strip cushion covers in advance either.
Is upholstery cleaning safe for children and pets?
All products we use are low-toxicity and residue-free once dry. We recommend keeping children and pets off cleaned surfaces until fully dry, which typically takes a few hours with good ventilation.
How often should I have my upholstery cleaned professionally?
For households with pets or children, once a year is ideal. For lighter-use furniture, every 18–24 months maintains freshness and extends fabric life. Regular vacuuming in between helps too.
Do you service areas outside Noosaville?
Yes — we cover Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach, Tewantin, Cooroy, Eumundi, Pomona, Doonan and surrounding Sunshine Coast areas. Call us to confirm we cover your location.
