Clean and protect your upholstery with the utmost confidence.
Lounges, sofas, arm chairs and other upholstered furnishings are among the most frequently used furniture items in your home. But just because they’re in constant use doesn’t mean you can’t keep them hygienic and stain-free.
Upholstered furniture is quick to accumulate impurities such as dust, dead skin, sweat, body oils, pet dander and fur oils and needs to be cleaned regularly – just like our clothes. Keeping your valuable furniture clean is a safe and effective way to control dust mite allergens, while protection will guard against re-soiling and extend the lifespan of your upholstery.
Our trained lounge-cleaning technicians specialise in fine fabrics, such as velvet, cotton and linen, as well as synthetic fibres. We only use premium and environmentally friendly cleaning products made in Australia and the United States, so you can rest assured the solutions we use won’t damage your fabric.
You’re in safe hands with Tuft & Weave. We’re recommended by major and boutique furniture brands and all of our work is conducted in accordance with the relevant Australian Standard, WoolSafe and IICRC standards. Our technicians are also certified and completely up-to-date with the latest upholstery cleaning techniques.
Every upholstered couch or chair is different. Our expert upholstery cleaning technicians take account of the differences in our customers’
furniture and can tailor a solution to your needs.
We offer two cleaning methods – Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning) and Very Low Moisture (Dry Cleaning) – to help you restore
your three-seater or favourite reading chair to almost-pristine condition.
Our trained technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your couch to establish its upholstery fibre composition,
identify any visible issues and establish the correct couch cleaning method to use.
Once we’ve completed our inspection, we undertake the following rigorous procedure to obtain the best results for your couch.
We examine your upholstery closely to determine the fibre composition and identify any staining that has occurred. We’ll then speak with you about how we plan to conduct the clean.
Leak-proof drop sheets are laid down to protect your floor and surrounds.
Using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner with a rotating brush head, we pre-vacuum your upholstery to remove 80% of deeply embedded dry soil.
We conduct a pre-spot to remove any dirt marks unlikely to be removed by normal cleaning.
We condition your upholstery with a premium cleaning solution appropriate for the upholstery fibre and soil. We agitate the solution to separate the bonded soil from the fibre to achieve a deep and thorough clean. We then conduct soil extraction using Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning) or Very Low Moisture (Dry Cleaning).
Finally, we deodorise the upholstery and groom the pile to remove tool marks, reset the pile and improve drying conditions.
For the ultimate in upholstery protection, ask us about our best-in-class solvent-based or water-based upholstery protection service. Not only is it completely safe for children and pets, it provides an effective barrier against re-soiling, abrasive dust, and water-based and oil-based stains.
Dust mites are tiny insects, too small to be seen by the naked eye, that are the most common allergen-producing organism found in homes. They live in carpets, upholstered furniture, bed pillows and mattresses. The enzymes in their faeces and their hard shells can cause dermatological and respiratory allergies in humans, such as eczema and asthma. In fact, as much as 90 per cent of the population can experience allergy-based symptoms as a result of dust mite allergens.
Tuft & Weave provides a safe and effective way to control dust mite allergens. We offer the Responsible Care System®, an allergy cleaning system that eliminates dust mites from the home. Because it is derived from renewable plant source surfactants, it’s non-toxic to humans, animals and plants.
To further reduce the likelihood of an allergic response to dust mites, we also apply Allergy Relief Treatment during the cleaning process. Allergy Relief Treatment is an aqueous solution that contains a powerful active ingredient derived from naturally occurring extracts found in fruit seeds and plants. Application of the solution can help reduce annoying allergic symptoms for up to six months.
