Our Commercial Upholstery Cleaning Services
Different upholstery needs different methods. Choose the seating type and we will confirm the material, care labels, quantity and access with your site contact before quoting. For tips between professional cleans, read our guide on how to clean upholstery, and for carpets in the same space see our carpet cleaning service.
Office Chairs and Workstations
Office chairs and meeting-room seating collect dust, skin oils and spills. We vacuum seats, backs and crevices and clean fabric with a method that suits the care label and material, such as hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning where suitable. Arms, bases and mesh backs are wiped as agreed.
Chairs should be cleared of personal items, and the number and type of chairs confirmed in advance. We prefer to schedule after hours so chairs are dry for the next working day.
Reception and Lounge Seating
Reception sofas, lounge chairs and waiting seats are the most visible upholstery in a commercial space. We check care labels and cleaning codes, test an inconspicuous spot, then clean with a method suited to the material.
Cushions and loose covers are cleaned in place unless the manufacturer’s label allows removal.
Hospitality Booths and Banquettes
Booths, banquettes and dining chairs take food spills, grease and heavy daily contact. We spot-treat spills and clean seat surfaces with products suited to fabric, vinyl or leather, and wipe frames and trims as agreed.
Seating can be cleaned before opening or after closing, provided there is time for it to dry. Leather and vinyl are conditioned only if agreed.
Waiting Room and Healthcare Seating
Waiting-room chairs are often vinyl or another wipe-clean material. We clean seats, arms and frames with products compatible with the material and any product requirements your facility sets. Where disinfection is specified, the product is used as labelled, including contact time.
Biohazard cleaning, blood or body-fluid contamination and infection-control protocols fall outside routine upholstery cleaning and need separate assessment.
Stain and Spot Treatment
We assess each stain by type and material, test the method in an inconspicuous area, then treat it. Common stains include coffee, food, ink, oil and general soiling.
Old, set or dye-based stains do not always clear fully, and earlier treatments can limit results, so we explain what to expect. Mould, urine and other biological contamination need separate assessment.
Scheduled and After-Hours Cleans
Regular upholstery cleans help keep seating fresher between replacements. We can schedule cleans after hours, on weekends or on closed days, and agree a frequency based on use, such as quarterly or annual cleans.
Fabric can take several hours to dry, so we confirm drying time and when seating can be used again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about methods, drying time, stains and scope for commercial upholstery cleaning in Melbourne.
What does commercial upholstery cleaning include?
The agreed scope can cover vacuuming, cleaning and stain treatment of office chairs, reception and lounge seating, hospitality booths and waiting-room chairs. Your quote should list each seating type, quantity, material, method and exclusion so everyone knows what is covered.
What types of upholstery can you clean?
We can clean fabric, vinyl, leather and other commercial seating, subject to the care label and a spot test. Delicate or unlabelled materials are tested first, and some materials may be limited to vacuuming or wipe-clean methods.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
It depends on the material, the cleaning method and ventilation. Fabric commonly takes several hours to dry, and low-moisture methods can be faster where suitable. We agree timing in advance, so cleaning is often scheduled after hours.
Can you remove all stains?
Not always. Results depend on the type and age of the stain, the material and any earlier treatments. We assess and test first, explain what to expect and do not guarantee complete removal.
How often should commercial upholstery be cleaned?
It depends on use, material and the type of business. High-traffic seating may need cleaning more often than low-use seating, and many businesses schedule periodic cleans, such as quarterly or annually, with regular vacuuming in between. We help you choose a frequency when scoping the service.
How much does commercial upholstery cleaning in Melbourne cost?
Price depends on the number and size of pieces, materials, level of soiling, stains, access and cleaning times. Share your seating details or photos so we can assess the scope and provide an itemised quote rather than an unsupported flat rate.
