A sofa in a small space works harder

In the apartment buildings around the centre of Box Hill, the sofa is often the only proper seat in the place. It is where people eat, work on a laptop, nap and host friends. A couch used that way picks up body oils on the headrest and arms, food crumbs in the seams and a general dullness that a quick vacuum does not shift.

There is also less air movement in many apartments than in a house, especially in rooms without an opening window nearby. Cooking smells and humidity settle into fabric and foam. A proper clean extracts the soil and the odour together, rather than covering it with a spray.

Booking around building rules

Our equipment is portable, so a sofa on the twelfth floor is no harder to clean than one in a house, as long as we can get in. Let us know when you book whether there is visitor parking or a loading bay, whether the lift needs to be booked, and any hours your owners corporation sets for contractors. If an apartment has a balcony, open the door during and after the clean to help drying.

Renting? Many leases on furnished apartments ask for the soft furnishings to be cleaned when you leave. We can do the couch, the mattress and the carpet together and give you one receipt for the agent. See our end of lease carpet cleaning page for how that works.

Family homes in Box Hill North and South

Away from the towers, Box Hill North and Box Hill South are mostly houses and units, many built after the war and plenty rebuilt since. Here the typical job is a lounge suite or a large modular that takes the full weight of family life: school uniforms, juice boxes, the dog’s spot at one end. For pet accidents we use an enzyme treatment that breaks down the cause of the smell, and we will be upfront if urine has gone deep into the foam. Our guide on pet urine odour removal explains why that matters.

Rugs and dining chairs on the same visit

Rugs are a natural partner to a sofa clean, because the rug in front of the couch collects the same crumbs and spills. Wool, synthetic and many hand-made rugs can be cleaned on site; see rug cleaning. Fabric dining chairs are worth adding too. The seat fronts and the backs where hands grip show marks quickly, and our article on cleaning fabric dining chairs safely has tips for keeping them in shape between cleans.

Steam-cleaned upholstery takes four to six hours to dry, so it helps to book in the morning if you want the lounge back for the evening.

Questions from Box Hill customers

Can you clean a sofa with covers that do not come off?

Yes. Most sofas are cleaned with the covers on. Even where the covers are removable, we usually recommend cleaning them in place, because machine washing can shrink them or change the colour so they no longer match.

Do you charge more for an apartment high up in a tower?

No. There is no travel charge in metropolitan Melbourne, and the fixed quote covers the job whether it is on the ground floor or the twentieth. Just tell us about parking and lift access so we arrive prepared.

Will the couch smell of chemicals afterwards?

It should not. Products are rinsed out as we extract, and the fabric is left clean rather than perfumed. A faint damp smell can linger while it dries, then fades.

Are your technicians police-checked?

Yes. Every technician is police-checked and insured, which matters when you are letting someone into your home or a shared building.
