Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• inspect fabric, construction and stain type to confirm the correct cleaning method

• perform a discreet colourfastness and compatibility test before treating larger areas

• apply targeted pre-treatment for oil, dye or biological stains and agitate gently where safe

• clean using low‑moisture encapsulation, wet extraction or dry-clean solvents as appropriate

• remove cleaning residues, speed dry with extraction and air movers where needed, advise on drying time

• apply optional fabric protector and provide aftercare advice; use PPE and isolate contaminated materials

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most single chairs take 30 minutes–1.5 hours; a two‑seater sofa typically takes 1–2.5 hours on site. factors that extend time include settee disassembly, severe or old stains, multiple technicians required and long drying or odour removal processes

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• what cleaning method will you use for my fabric and why?

• can you show evidence of training and public liability insurance?

• do you guarantee stain removal or offer follow‑up visits if the stain returns?

• what drying time should I expect and will you use air movers if needed?

• which products do you use and are they safe for children and pets?

• will you need to move furniture, remove cushions or access power and do you charge extra for that?

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear access route and protect flooring where the machine will sit

• reserve parking or advise on vehicle restrictions for timely arrival

• remove loose items and valuables from sofas and chairs before the visit

• inform the tradie about pets, odour issues or biological stains so appropriate PPE and disinfectants are used

• check building or communal rules for access, working‑at‑height or restricted hours in flats
