Why Regular Sofa Cleaning Is Essential

Even the best-looking sofas hide threats like:

• Dust mites and allergens

• Sweat and body oils

• Food and beverage spills

• Fungal spores and bacteria

• Odors and stains

DIY cleaning only removes surface dust — for deep sanitization and stain removal, you need professional care. That’s why thousands trust Dr. Dry.

Our Expert Sofa Cleaning Process

🔹 1. Inspection & Fabric Testing

We begin by identifying the type of upholstery, foam sensitivity, colorfastness, and damage, followed by a test patch cleaning to prevent discoloration or shrinkage.

🔹 2. Dust & Loose Dirt Extraction

High-powered vacuum machines with HEPA filters are used to remove surface dirt, debris, allergens, and pet hair from all crevices.

🔹 3. Chemical Pre-Treatment of Stains

Stubborn stains like food, ink, sweat, or oil are spot-treated using:

• Sodium lauryl sulfate – general detergent-based stain remover

• Isopropyl alcohol – for oil-based and ink stains

• Hydrogen peroxide (3%) – for deodorizing and lightening mild stains

• Ammonium-based stain removers – for protein-based or sweat marks

• Citric acid – for hard water spots or rust

Each chemical is applied based on upholstery fabric tolerance.

🔹 4. Deep Cleaning by Fabric Type

• Fabric Sofas – Treated with pH-neutral surfactant foams (like Dry Foam Shampoo) or wet extraction using biodegradable enzyme-based cleaners.

• Leather Sofas – Gently cleaned with leather-safe solutions like Lexol Leather Cleaner, followed by conditioning using lanolin-based softeners to restore natural shine and flexibility.

• Suede or Velvet – Treated using low-moisture encapsulation cleaning or dry compound crystal methods to prevent fiber damage and preserve texture.

🔹 5. Anti-Bacterial Sanitization

After cleaning, we apply safe sanitizing agents:

• Benzalkonium chloride – kills bacteria and mold

• Chlorhexidine gluconate – removes odors and disinfects deep-seated bacteria

• Odor-neutralizing essential oils – used optionally for a fresh scent

🔹 6. Drying & Grooming

We use industrial-grade blowers or air movers for faster drying. Fabric surfaces are then groomed or brushed to restore texture and remove water marks.
