We will send a professional upholstery cleaner to refresh and clean your furniture, bringing new life to your living space. Once our cleaning process is complete, your furniture will be dry quickly so it’s ready to be used by you and your family again as soon as possible.
Our upholstery cleaning services are strong enough to clean the deepest stains, gentle enough not to damage furniture and safe for your entire family.
Tested and Proven Results
Chem-Dry commissioned a leading independent laboratory to test the performance and healthfulness of our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) cleaning process. The lab concluded that Chem-Dry’s HCE process removes an average of 99.1% of common household allergens from upholstery. The allergens tested were dog and cat dander and dust mite allergen. In addition, the lab found that our HCE process, used along with a sanitizer, removes an average of 89% of the airborne bacteria in the home, improving indoor air quality.
Clean Upholstered Furniture The Natural® Way
When you decide to hire a professional upholstery cleaner, you may be concerned about the use of soaps or harsh chemicals that can leave a sticky residue and could be harmful to children and pets. With Chem-Dry, you don’t have to worry about that. We use The Natural® – the same green-certified, eco-friendly, carbonated cleaning solution that we use to give your carpets that deep-down, healthier clean -- that also works wonders on upholstered furniture. That means Chem-Dry’s upholstery cleaning process for furniture is safe for your entire family, dries faster and resists re-soiling.
Envision millions of tiny bubbles working away at breaking up the dirt and grime trapped deep within the fibers of your upholstered furniture so they can be easily whisked away. That’s how our safe and non-toxic carbonated cleaning solution revitalizes your furniture for a fresh, healthier, longer lasting clean. Our certified upholstery cleaner will then use our specialized extraction equipment to remove the cleaning solution along with all of the dirt, dust, and allergens it has trapped from the air in your home, leaving your furniture brighter, cleaner, and healthier than other alternative cleaning methods. This deep-cleaning, healthier cleaning method works perfectly with all types of upholstered furniture materials. And because The Natural doesn’t contain any soaps or detergents that can leave behind a sticky dirt-attracting residue, your upholstery stays cleaner longer.

Sanitize and Deodorize to Reduce Allergens and Bacteria with Healthy Home Package
Does anyone in your home suffer from allergies or asthma, making you more keenly aware of allergens and air quality in your home? Do you want to avoid the spread of everyday germs and bacteria in your home? Soft furnishings such as couches and chairs are actually beneficial to home health because they act like giant filters that absorb and trap common allergens and germs. But, just like any air filter, they must be properly cleaned to remain most effective at trapping particulates as they settle from the air.
Chem-Dry’s HCE cleaning method has been tested and proven by a leading independent air quality laboratory to remove an average of 98.1% of common household allergens from the carpets and upholstery we clean. And when a sanitizer is added with the Healthy Home package, testing showed that we’re able to remove 89% of the airborne bacteria, improving indoor air quality*. And the special deodorizer we use doesn’t just hide or cover up the odors that have been absorbed into your furniture. It actually removes them, keeping your furniture and air fresh for longer. Our Healthy Home Package is our most thorough and extensive process in deep-cleaning upholstered furniture, improving air quality and making your home a safer and healthier place for you and your family.

Preparing your home for a Chem-Dry upholstery cleaning
Step 1: Remove clutter
The Chem-Dry upholstery cleaner will need to be able to maneuver around the pieces of furniture he is cleaning, so removing clutter on both the floor and the furniture itself will go a long way towards ensuring that the cleaning goes smoothly. Items like shoes and toys on the floor can cause a tripping hazard, and blankets and other items on the furniture can get in the way. If you set these things aside before the technician arrives, they will not be underfoot, and the upholstery cleaner can finish his job quickly, allowing you to resume your regular routine that much faster.
Step 2: Move furniture away from walls
In order to clean the upholstery on your furniture as thoroughly as possible, our upholstery cleaning technicians need to be able to access the entire piece. Even if it seems like it’s not necessary to clean the entire piece of furniture due to the back being pushed up against a wall, only cleaning one part can lead to your upholstery being discolored and splotchy should you ever move the piece to another location. If you move the furniture a few feet out from the wall, the Chem-Dry technician will be able to reach the less accessible parts of your furniture and deliver a thorough couch cleaning.
Step 3: Take note of particular problem areas
Our cleaners are very thorough, but different factors such as lighting and shadows can disguise blemishes and hide problem areas from view. Make note, beforehand, of any spots that you believe could use extra care and be sure to point them out to our technician when they arrive.
Step 4: Clear a path for easy access
Our upholstery cleaners need to be able to get their equipment to the furniture, so take a few minutes before they arrive and make sure there is a clear path from the front door to the room where they will be cleaning. Not only will this help the cleaning to go more quickly, but it will lower the risk of tripping on anything as they transport equipment to and from their vehicle.
Step 5: Prepare pets for the visit
While we know you love your pets, a visit from a stranger with big equipment and lots of new smells and sounds can agitate them. Make plans for how to keep them somewhere out of the way, like a yard or closed in another area of the home, so that they are not overly bothered by the technician’s presence. This will also keep them out from underfoot, meaning the technician can finish his job more quickly and allow you to return to your regular routine as soon as possible.
