## Answer

Sofa cleaning in India is priced per-seat. A 5-seater sofa cleaning costs ₹1,250–₹2,500 (₹250–₹500 × 5 seats) using shampoo + steam extraction method. This removes stains, allergens, and embedded dirt, and restores fabric texture. Job time: 2–3 hours per sofa.

By configuration: 2-seater ₹500–₹1,000, 3-seater ₹750–₹1,500, 5-seater ₹1,250–₹2,500, L-shape 6–7 seater ₹1,500–₹3,500, U-shape 8+ seater ₹2,000–₹4,000. Multi-sofa combos (living room set = 3+2+1 = 6 seater) usually get a 10–15% discount.

Fabric type affects price. Standard cotton/polyester upholstery: base rate. Suede or velvet: +20–30% (needs gentler chemicals and slower drying). Leather sofa cleaning: ₹500–₹900 per seat (leather conditioning + polish, not shampoo). Chesterfield/tufted styles with buttons: +15% for detail work.

Metros add 25–30% (Mumbai 5-seater ₹1,625–₹3,250). AMC contracts (quarterly cleaning) get 15–25% off per visit — a quarterly 5-seater is ₹950–₹1,900 vs. ₹1,250–₹2,500 single visit.

## Frequently asked

### How often should I get my sofa cleaned?

Every 6–12 months for regular use, every 3–4 months for homes with pets or kids. Quarterly AMC is cheaper per-visit and extends sofa life 2–3 years.

### What method is best — dry cleaning or shampoo + steam?

Shampoo + steam extraction removes 90% of embedded dirt and allergens — best for deep clean. Dry cleaning is for delicate fabrics (silk, wool) that can't get wet. Most Indian cleaners default to shampoo + steam.

### How long does sofa cleaning take?

2–3 hours for a 5-seater (30 min per seat + drying time). Sofa should be usable in 4–6 hours after cleaning. Full-dry: 12–24 hours depending on humidity.

### Can I remove stains myself?

For fresh spills (within 1 hour), yes — blot with clean cloth, dab with mild soap water, rinse. For old stains (coffee, ink, oil), professional cleaning is needed. DIY often sets the stain deeper.

Bangalore rates: ₹1,625–₹3,250 (base × 1.3). Quarterly AMC: ₹1,235–₹2,470/visit. Leather sofa 5-seater: ₹3,250–₹5,850.
