Armchair Cleaning in San Diego

Yes. Darkening on the arms is usually a buildup of body oils, sweat, and dirt from daily use. We treat these areas with a fabric-safe degreaser, gently agitate to lift the residue, and perform hot water extraction. After cleaning, the fabric feels softer, and the color often looks noticeably brighter.

Absolutely. Pet hair often clings to upholstery, especially textured fabrics like chenille or tweed. We use rubber-blade tools, high-suction vacuums, and static brushes to lift hair before deep cleaning. For odors, we apply enzyme-based treatments that break down pet-related proteins and remove odor at the source — not just mask it.

Yes. We clean all recliner types, including manual and electric models. We use slim tools and specialty hand attachments to reach into seams, headrests, and footrests. We’re careful around buttons, levers, and electronics to avoid damage, and we always dry it properly to prevent mold inside.

We clean leather armchairs with pH-balanced solutions, followed by a nourishing conditioner to restore flexibility and protect against cracking. For dry or worn areas, we apply leather balm to improve color and texture. No harsh soaps, no alcohols — just professional leather care.

Blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth — don’t rub. Avoid vinegar or baking soda. At home, a small amount of cold water with dish soap may help if the fabric is synthetic. For full removal, especially on light or natural fabrics, we use tannin-specific spotters and professional extraction. The sooner we treat it, the better the result.

Sweat leaves behind salt, oils, and bacteria that cause odor and discoloration — especially on headrests and seat backs. We deep-clean with enzyme solutions and deodorizing rinse. If needed, we apply antibacterial treatment and air movers for faster drying.

Once a year is ideal for regular use. For daily-use chairs or households with pets and kids, every 6–9 months will keep fabric fresh, remove allergens, and prevent buildup. Regular cleaning also helps preserve the fabric and color over time.

Most food and beverage stains can be removed completely, especially if treated early. We use targeted spot treatments for sugar-based, oily, or acidic spills like soda, gravy, or coffee. If the fabric is synthetic or treated, full removal is almost always possible.

Water marks from over-wetting or improper cleaning are common. We re-clean the area with balanced moisture and extract evenly to prevent spotting. In most cases, we can completely correct the ring and restore uniform color and texture.

Vacuum weekly, especially under the cushion and around seams. Use armrest covers or throws if pets or sweaty hands are common. Clean up spills immediately by blotting, not rubbing. Rotate cushions if possible, and schedule professional cleaning before dirt becomes visible — by then, it’s already embedded.
