Professional Sofa & Couch Cleaning in Chicago
Your couch has stories. There’s the corner where your dog sleeps every afternoon. The cushion with that coffee stain you’ve been meaning to deal with for six months. The armrest that’s gotten weirdly shiny from everyone leaning on it. Maybe it’s a family hand-me-down that’s seen better decades. Maybe you dropped good money on it at Room & Board and want to keep it looking good.
Either way, it probably needs more help than vacuuming and Febreze can provide.
At Carpet Cleaning Group, we’ve cleaned everything from $50 Craigslist finds to $5,000 designer pieces across Chicago. Logan Square vintage velvet? Yeah, we’ve done that. South Loop modern leather sectionals? Those too. We know how to handle different fabrics safely, and we offer free pickup and delivery because sometimes it’s easier to just not deal with moving furniture.
Here’s the deal: professional cleaning can make your couch look and smell way better than you’d expect.
Why Your Couch Needs More Than Vacuuming
You sit on it every day. You eat on it (we all do, no judgment). Your pets claim it. Kids jump on it. It works hard.
Over time, all the gross stuff accumulates deep in the fabric—body oils, sweat, dead skin (sorry), pet dander, food crumbs, dirt from shoes nobody took off. Vacuuming gets surface stuff, but that’s about it. Everything else just builds up, making the fabric look dull, feel rough, and smell like…well, like a couch that hasn’t been cleaned in three years.
Plus, dust mites. They’re in there. Thousands of them. If you’re sneezing every time you sit down, that’s probably why.
Professional cleaning gets what you can’t vacuum. It brings back the texture, kills the odors at the source, and can add years to how long your furniture lasts. Clean furniture also just feels better to use. As part of our complete upholstery cleaning services, we treat each piece based on what it actually needs.

Your Fabric Matters (A Lot)
Not all couches clean the same. What we do depends entirely on what your couch is made of.
Microfiber – Super popular because it’s tough and affordable. But water spots show up easily, and DIY attempts usually make it look worse. We use solvent-based cleaning that lifts dirt without leaving marks or making it stiff. Brush it after to restore the soft feel. Dry in 2-4 hours.
Leather – Needs conditioning more than cleaning. Chicago weather is rough on leather—dry heat indoors all winter, then humid summers. It’ll crack if you don’t maintain it. We use pH-balanced cleaner and then condition it so it stays supple. Faux leather (pleather) needs totally different products or we’ll damage the coating. Leather dries fastest, usually about an hour.
Cotton and Linen – Natural fibers are comfortable but they soak up stains like crazy. Coffee, wine, anything wet goes right in. They can handle water-based cleaning, but there’s shrinkage risk if we use too much water. We pre-treat, use controlled moisture, extract thoroughly. Takes longest to dry—6-8 hours—but cleans up really well.
Velvet – Having a moment again, and we’re seeing way more of it. Gorgeous but high-maintenance. The pile direction matters—brush it wrong during cleaning and you’ll create permanent weird-looking marks. We use low-moisture methods and special brushes. Takes patience.
Polyester and Synthetics – Most modern couches are this. Easiest to work with—handles water fine, dries relatively fast (4-6 hours). Hot water extraction works safely on most of it.
Delicate Fabrics – Silk, wool, antique stuff needs special handling. We test in hidden spots first. Often we use dry cleaning methods instead of water. Some fabrics are too delicate for any kind of full submersion.
Our Cleaning Methods
Hot Water Extraction – Deep cleans polyester, cotton, synthetics. Heated water with powerful suction. Deepest clean, longest drying (4-8 hours).
Dry Cleaning/Low Moisture – For microfiber, velvet, delicate fabrics. Minimal water with solvents. Prevents spotting and shrinkage. Dries in 2-4 hours.
Leather Care – Cleans and conditions all leather. Prevents cracking and damage. Fastest drying (1 hour).
Steam Cleaning – Sanitizes while cleaning. Good for allergen removal. Part of our residential upholstery cleaning.
We inspect first and choose the safest, most effective method for your fabric.
Free Pickup and Delivery Service
Large sectionals? Antique pieces you’re nervous about moving? We offer free pickup and delivery for most furniture in the Chicago area. This is especially helpful for:
- Deep cleaning that requires facility equipment – Some heavily soiled couches clean better at our location where we have specialized tools
- Restoration work – If your couch needs repair along with cleaning
- Multiple pieces – Cleaning your whole living room set at once
- Delicate antiques – Pieces that need controlled environment and extra time
We’ll schedule a convenient pickup time, transport your furniture carefully, clean it thoroughly at our facility, and return it looking fresh. Usually 24-48 hour turnaround, sometimes same-day for urgent situations.
Even if we clean on-site, we’re still part of the trusted carpet cleaning services in Chicago family—same quality, same care.
Fabric Protection Treatment
After cleaning, we recommend fabric protection. Think of it as a raincoat for your couch. Protection treatment creates a barrier that makes spills bead up instead of soaking in. This gives you time to blot before stains set.
Our fabric protection treatment works on most fabrics and lasts 6-12 months depending on use. It’s especially worth it if you have:
- Kids who eat on the couch
- Pets who claim the furniture
- Light-colored upholstery
- Expensive or sentimental pieces
The treatment doesn’t change how fabric feels or looks—just how it repels liquids and resists staining.

Pet Odor and Stain Removal
Pets and couches have a complicated relationship. We love our animals, but they can be rough on furniture. Our pet odor removal service goes beyond surface cleaning.
Dog and cat urine soaks into cushion foam and can’t be removed with regular cleaning. We use enzyme treatments that break down urine crystals and eliminate odor at the source—not just mask it. For serious cases, we may need to treat or replace cushion foam.
Pet hair is another challenge. We use specialized tools to pull embedded hair from fabric before cleaning. Standard vacuums leave a lot behind.
