Bring your sofas, chairs and footstools back to life with Alec’s professional upholstery cleaning service. Our in-house cleaners use industrial-grade equipment and expert techniques to remove deep dirt, stains and odours. Whether your sofa just needs a refresh or a full deep clean, we’ll make it look and feel as good as new.
Cleaning your own sofa can be awkward and messy. Taking covers off, scrubbing stains, struggling to dry it properly — we’ve all been there. Save yourself the hassle and let our upholstery team handle it. We’ve been cleaning, repairing and restoring sofas for years, and we know how to get the best results safely for every type of fabric or leather.
We don’t just clean. Our time-served upholsterers can also inspect, repair and revive your furniture while it’s in our workshop. From minor stitching and sagging seats to full re-padding or spring repairs, we’ll make sure your sofa is comfortable, clean and ready to last many more years.
1. Book your collection. Call us to arrange a convenient time for our driver and assistant to collect your suite. We cover most of Greater Manchester and surrounding areas.
2. Inspection and prep. Once your furniture arrives at our Bolton warehouse, our upholsterer removes the base covering and clears out any built-up debris that often hides inside sofas — old coins, bits of food, newspapers and the occasional toy car. We’ll also check the framework, joints and springs for cracks or wear.
3. Repairs if needed. If we spot any minor damage, we’ll repair it as part of the cleaning cost. For more serious work like broken frames or failed springs, we’ll call you first to confirm the repair quote before continuing.
4. Deep clean and refresh. Our trained upholstery cleaners use industrial-grade extraction machines and specialist cleaning solutions designed for furniture fabrics. Every cushion, arm and crevice is deep cleaned, deodorised and left fresh with a light, pleasant scent.
5. Drying and return delivery. We allow 24–48 hours for your furniture to fully dry in our controlled workshop. Once ready, we’ll ring to arrange delivery back to your home or workplace. Typical turnaround time is around 2–4 days from collection to return.
Don’t want to go without seating while we work on yours? No problem. We can provide a temporary loan sofa free of charge while your suite is being cleaned. Just mention it when booking and we’ll bring one along at collection.
Our full upholstery and sofa cleaning service typically costs between £120 and £150 for a standard suite. This includes collection, inspection, deep clean, drying, and delivery back to your home. If you add small repairs or framework adjustments, we’ll quote you upfront before any additional work is done.
