Upholstery cleaning questions, answered straight.

A three-seat sofa is $99–199, a loveseat $139–199 and a sectional $149–399. Size, fabric, stains and pet accidents move the price within those ranges. See every price.

You get a range from photos before we visit. The final price is confirmed on site before work begins, based on size, fabric, condition, treatment needs and access.

Yes, visits start at $199. If one piece comes in under that, adding a chair or pillows while we’re there is usually the best value.

Free with at least 24 hours’ notice. After that a $50 late-cancellation fee may apply; we waive it once for a genuine emergency.

Most fabrics are dry to the touch within a few hours. Thick cushions, natural fibers and humid days can stretch that to the next morning. We extract as much water as the fabric allows and leave drying steps for your piece.

Usually too much water left in the padding, or urine that was only treated on the surface. A faint clean scent that fades within an hour is normal; a musty smell is not, so tell us if you notice one.

Fabric makers generally suggest every 12–24 months. With kids, pets or light fabric, once a year keeps soil from setting in.

It can. Most of a spill sits below the fabric, and cleaning re-wets it, so it can wick back up as the piece dries. Thorough extraction and drying prevent most of this. If a stain does reappear within seven days, we’ll come back and treat it free; that’s part of the Avelo Cleaning Promise.

If anything spills on a piece we cleaned, or a spot comes back, within seven days of your cleaning, we’ll come back and treat it free of charge. That’s the Avelo Cleaning Promise, and it covers every piece on your service record.

Often. Urine soaks into the cushion, so we treat the source rather than the surface. Heavily soaked inserts sometimes can’t be saved; we’ll say so before you pay for a cleaning that won’t fix it.

No one can honestly promise that. Many pieces improve dramatically; old water marks, dye transfer and sun fading may not fully recover. You’ll hear our honest read before we start.

W: water-based cleaning is fine. S: solvent only, since water can leave rings. W/S: either, tested first. X: vacuum only. More on delicate fabrics.

With the wrong method, yes: rayon blends can shrink, some dyes bleed, and linen can brown. That’s why we test a hidden spot first and stop if the test shows a problem.

Yes. Products are diluted correctly and rinsed out rather than left in the fabric. Keep kids and pets off the piece until it’s dry.

Often, but check the tag first: many slipcovers are linen marked dry clean only and can shrink if washed. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you the safest option for yours.

Yes. Avelo Cleaning is fully insured for the in-home upholstery care we provide.

Clear small items off and around the piece. We’ll confirm parking, access and anything item-specific when we book.
