Why Choose Professional Upholstery Cleaning?
Your furniture is one of the most used and overlooked parts of your home. Over time, dirt, body oils, pet dander, and allergens build up in fabrics, even if they look clean on the surface. Professional cleaning:
- Extends the life of your furniture by removing buildup that breaks down fibers
- Improves indoor air quality by eliminating trapped dust and allergens
- Restores the fresh, clean look and feel of your upholstery
- Helps protect your investment by keeping fabrics soft and vibrant
Depending on your household, we recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 1–3 years. Families with children or pets may benefit from annual cleanings, while low-traffic homes may need it less frequently.
Our Upholstery Cleaning Process
Carter’s uses a safe and thorough steam cleaning process designed specifically for upholstery and furniture:
- Pre-Treatment with a Green Cleaning Agent

Our technicians use a tool designed for furniture that simultaneously delivers steam and powerful vacuum extraction, removing soil, oils, allergens, and cleaning agents without leaving residue. - Quick Drying
Furniture is left clean, fresh, and residue-free, drying quickly so it’s ready for use.

Furniture & Upholstery Cleaning FAQs
1. Is professional upholstery cleaning worth it?
Yes, professional upholstery cleaning is worth it because it removes deep dirt, allergens, and oils that household vacuums and sprays can’t reach.
Carter’s Carpet Restoration uses specialized equipment and fabric-safe solutions to restore color, remove stains, and extend the life of your furniture.
2. How often should I have my upholstery professionally cleaned?
Most households benefit from professional upholstery cleaning every 12 to 24 months.
Homes with children, pets, or allergies may need cleaning every 6 to 12 months to prevent buildup and keep fabrics fresh and healthy.
3. What is the best way to clean fabric upholstery?
The best way to clean fabric upholstery is with a professional hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning method designed for your fabric type.
Carter’s Carpet Restoration inspects each piece to determine the safest and most effective approach for your furniture’s material and condition.
4. Is it better to shampoo or steam clean upholstery?
Steam cleaning, also called hot water extraction, is generally better than shampooing for most upholstery fabrics.
It removes embedded soil and allergens without leaving sticky residue. Shampooing can attract dirt if not properly rinsed.
5. Can professional upholstery cleaning remove stains and odors?
Yes, professional upholstery cleaning can remove most stains and odors, including those caused by food, drinks, pets, or body oils.
Carter’s Carpet Restoration uses enzyme-based and deodorizing treatments that target the source of odors instead of just masking them.
6. How long does it take for furniture to dry after professional cleaning?
Most upholstery dries within 4 to 6 hours after cleaning.
Dry time depends on fabric type, humidity, and ventilation. Running ceiling fans or opening windows can help speed up drying.
7. Is professional upholstery cleaning safe for kids and pets?
Yes, Carter’s Carpet Restoration uses cleaning products that are safe for children and pets when applied correctly.
All solutions are non-toxic, biodegradable, and thoroughly rinsed, leaving no harmful residues behind.
8. Will professional cleaning damage my furniture?
No, professional upholstery cleaning will not damage your furniture when performed by trained technicians.
Carter’s uses fabric-specific cleaning methods and pre-tests all materials to ensure colors don’t fade and fibers stay soft.
9. How much does professional upholstery cleaning cost?
Upholstery cleaning prices vary based on furniture size, fabric type, and soil level.
For the most accurate pricing, contact Carter’s Carpet Restoration for a personalized quote or to schedule your upholstery cleaning service.
10. How can I keep my furniture clean between professional cleanings?
To keep upholstery clean between professional services, vacuum weekly and address spills immediately.
Avoid harsh chemicals or home remedies, which can set stains or damage fabric. Using fabric protectors and regular maintenance extends furniture life and appearance.
