Professional steam cleaning for sofas, sectionals,
chairs, loveseats, armchairs, ottomans,
and other furniture.
Upholstery traps dust, body oils, allergens, pet dander, and everyday soils that gradually dull appearance and wear down fabric fibers. Steam Lion carefully evaluates each piece before cleaning to determine the safest and most effective cleaning method. Our goal is to revive and refresh your furniture while helping extend its life and appearance.
From living room sofas to ottomans and chairs — if it’s upholstered, we can clean it.

Professional upholstery cleaning requires a careful approach because furniture fabrics can vary widely in fiber type, construction, dye stability, soil level, and cleaning sensitivity. Steam Lion evaluates the fabric before cleaning and uses a controlled process designed to loosen soil, treat spots when appropriate, rinse and extract carefully, and help furniture dry properly without unnecessary over-wetting.
Before cleaning begins, we evaluate the fabric type, condition, soil level, areas of concern, and any visible wear, spots, odors, or sensitivity issues. Upholstery requires a careful inspection because different fabrics respond differently to moisture, cleaning solutions, agitation, and drying.
A professional pre-treatment solution is applied when appropriate to help loosen body oils, soil, dust, food residue, and everyday buildup from the fabric surface. The goal is to prepare the upholstery for a more effective and controlled cleaning process.
When appropriate, the pre-treatment is gently worked into the fabric to help loosen soil without being overly aggressive. Upholstery cleaning requires more care than carpet cleaning because furniture fabrics can be more delicate and may respond differently to moisture and friction.
Steam Lion uses careful steam cleaning and extraction methods to rinse and remove loosened soil, cleaning solution, and contaminants from the upholstery. The process is controlled to help avoid unnecessary over-wetting while still providing a thorough professional cleaning.
Specific spots may receive additional attention based on the likely source of the spot, the fabric condition, and realistic expectations for removal. Some stains may permanently affect fabric dyes or fibers, so we focus on careful treatment and clear communication.
When odor concerns are present, odor-control treatments may be recommended. Upholstery can hold odors from pets, food, body oils, smoke, moisture, and everyday use, so the goal is to reduce odor at the source whenever possible.
After cleaning, the furniture is reviewed and drying recommendations are discussed. We check the cleaned areas, review any remaining concerns, and provide guidance for proper drying and care.
