Professional Upholstery Cleaning

Expert Upholstery Cleaning in Alexandria, VA & DMV Area

Your furniture is one of your home's biggest investments, but it's also one of the most used. Sofas, chairs, and upholstered furniture accumulate dirt, dust, allergens, stains, and odors over time. Regular use, spills, pet hair, and everyday life take their toll on fabric and appearance. At AirDuctVet, we provide professional Upholstery Cleaning Services that restore your furniture's beauty, extend its lifespan, and create a healthier home environment.

As a veteran-owned company, we treat your furniture with the same care and precision we bring to all our services. Using specialized equipment and proven techniques, we safely and effectively clean all types of upholstery fabrics without causing damage.

Why Professional Upholstery Cleaning Matters

Professional upholstery cleaning offers numerous benefits beyond improved appearance:

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process

We follow a careful, fabric-appropriate process to ensure safe and effective cleaning:

• Fabric Identification: We identify fabric types and check manufacturer cleaning codes to determine the safest, most effective method.
• Pre-Inspection: We examine your furniture for stains, wear patterns, and areas requiring special attention.
• Pre-Vacuuming: Thorough vacuuming removes loose dirt, dust, and debris from all surfaces and crevices.
• Pre-Treatment: We apply specialized solutions to stubborn stains and heavily soiled areas.
• Deep Cleaning: Using appropriate methods (steam, hot water extraction, or dry cleaning), we thoroughly clean all fabric surfaces.
• Stain Removal: We apply targeted treatments to remove specific stains.
• Rinsing/Extraction: We remove cleaning solutions and extracted soil from fabric.
• Speed Drying: We use professional equipment to promote faster drying.
• Final Inspection: We review results with you to ensure satisfaction.

Understanding Cleaning Codes

Upholstery manufacturers use cleaning codes to indicate safe cleaning methods:

• S (Solvent-Based): Requires dry-cleaning solvents only
• WS (Water or Solvent): Can use either water or solvent-based cleaning
• X (Vacuum Only): Should only be vacuumed, no wet cleaning

We always check cleaning codes and test solutions in inconspicuous areas before proceeding with full cleaning.
