About sofa cleaning
Sofa cleaning is deep extraction of the dirt, oils and odours that a vacuum cannot reach, using equipment that injects cleaning solution and pulls it back out along with everything it has lifted. The result is usually startling on a light-coloured couch that has had a few years of use. The important part is matching the method to the fabric — which is what the code on the label under your cushions is for.
Sofa cleaning typically runs $80 to $220 for a standard two- or three-seater. Sectionals are priced per seat and usually land between $150 and $400. What changes the price: the fabric, the level of soiling, and whether pet odour or specific stains need separate treatment. Fabric matters most — most upholstery carries a cleaning code, and "S" means solvent-only, which is a different and more expensive process than water extraction. Expect the couch to be damp for a few hours and to be fully dry within about a day, faster with airflow.

Questions about sofa cleaning
How long until I can use the sofa again?
Usually a few hours to sit on, and up to a day to be fully dry. Opening windows or running a fan speeds it up considerably. A cleaner who leaves your couch soaking rather than damp has over-wetted it, which is worth raising at the time.
Will it get every stain out?
Most, but not all honestly. Old set-in stains, dye transfer from denim or ink, and sun-bleached patches often will not fully lift. A good cleaner will look at the couch and tell you what they expect to shift before starting, rather than promising everything.
Can any sofa be wet cleaned?
No — check the tag. "W" means water-based cleaning is fine, "S" means solvent only, "SW" means either, and "X" means vacuum only. Using water on an S-coded fabric can shrink or ring it, which is exactly why this is worth booking out.
