What is upholstery cleaning?
Upholstery cleaning is a professional furniture cleaning service that removes embedded dirt, stubborn stains, body oils, pet hair, odours and allergens from sofas, couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture. At Exceeding Limits Cleaning Services we offer professional upholstery steam cleaning and fabric upholstery cleaning services across Johannesburg and Gauteng, for homes and commercial spaces.
Regular vacuuming maintains the surface. Professional upholstery cleaning goes deeper, extracting the dirt, bacteria and allergens trapped in the fabric fibres, leaving your furniture genuinely fresh, clean and restored without the cost of replacement.

Upholstery cleaning is a professional service that deep cleans sofas, chairs, couches and other upholstered furniture, removing embedded dirt, stains, body oils, allergens and odours from the fabric fibres.
It goes much further than vacuuming or surface wiping, using specialist equipment and products to extract what is trapped deep inside the upholstery.
We clean most types of upholstery fabric including cotton, linen, polyester, microfibre, velvet and blended fabrics.
We always perform a fabric test patch before cleaning to confirm the right method and products for your specific furniture, ensuring the fabric is not damaged in the process.
Yes. We clean leather sofas, leather chairs and other leather upholstery using specialist leather-safe products.

Yes. We pre-treat all stubborn stains before cleaning, including wine, coffee, food, pet urine and grease.
Results depend on the stain type, how long it has been there and the fabric. We are always honest about what is achievable and will let you know during the pre-inspection before we start.
Upholstery typically takes 2 to 6 hours to dry after professional cleaning, depending on the fabric thickness, ventilation and humidity.
Opening windows and running fans speeds up drying significantly. We will advise on the expected drying time for your specific furniture after the pre-inspection.
Pricing depends on the number of pieces, fabric type, size and condition of the upholstery.
