Professional Upholstery Cleaning in Chicago
Look, we get it. That couch has seen better days. There’s the coffee stain from last Tuesday when you were running late for work. The corner where your dog decided to make himself at home. And honestly, you’re not even sure what that spot on the armrest is anymore.
Living in Chicago means your furniture’s fighting an uphill battle. We track in salt and slush all winter. The humidity in summer makes everything stick. And let’s be real—we actually use our furniture. A lot.
Here’s the thing though: you don’t have to replace that couch. At Carpet Cleaning Group, we’ve been cleaning upholstery across Chicago for years, and we’ve seen it all. That vintage sofa your grandmother gave you? We can bring it back. Those office chairs in your Loop startup? Yeah, we handle those too. We use eco-friendly solutions that won’t bother your kids or pets, and if you need it done today, we can make that happen.
Why This Actually Matters (Beyond Just Looking Nice)
You vacuum your couch maybe once a week if you’re on top of things. But here’s what you can’t see: your upholstery is basically a magnet for everything gross. Dust mites, dead skin (sorry), pet dander, allergens, bacteria—it all settles deep into the fabric.
I learned this the hard way when a client asked us to clean her “perfectly fine” sofa. When we extracted the water after cleaning, it came out brown. Not light tan. Brown. She’d been vacuuming weekly for three years.
Regular professional cleaning does a few things:
- Gets rid of the allergens making you sneeze every time you sit down
- Actually extends how long your furniture lasts (dirt breaks down fibers faster than you’d think)
- Kills the odors at the source instead of just covering them up with Febreze
- Protects what was probably a pretty big investment
Think about it this way—you spent good money on that sectional. Cleaning it every year or two costs way less than replacing it in five years instead of fifteen.
What We Clean in Chicago Homes
We work on all kinds of furniture. Some of it’s brand new from West Elm. Some of it’s been in the family for generations. Doesn’t matter to us—we just want to get it clean.
Your Living Room Sofa
This is usually the piece that takes the most abuse. Kids jumping on it, pizza nights, your dog claiming the best spot. We’ve cleaned everything from leather Chesterfields to IKEA sectionals, and the approach changes based on what you’ve got.
Leather needs conditioning (Chicago winters will dry it out fast). Fabric needs different treatment depending on the type—microfiber’s totally different from linen. Our sofa and couch cleaning services start with figuring out exactly what we’re working with, then we go from there.
And yeah, same-day service is available if you need it. Had a client once who spilled an entire pot of chili on their white couch the day before their in-laws were flying in. We made it happen.
Chairs, Recliners, All That
Don’t forget about your dining chairs (especially if you have kids who finger-paint with marinara sauce) or that recliner where you watch the game. Office chairs at home count too.
Recliners are tricky because of all the moving parts and crevices. We’ve gotten really good at cleaning around mechanisms without breaking anything. As part of our residential upholstery cleaning, we make sure every piece gets attention.
Mattresses (Yes, Really)
Your mattress is upholstered furniture. You probably don’t think about it that way, but you should. You spend eight hours a day there, and it’s collecting everything—sweat, dead skin, dust mites, all of it.
Our mattress cleaning service actually sanitizes where you sleep. We’ve had clients tell us they sleep better afterward, which makes sense when you think about what we’re removing. If anyone in your house has allergies, this one’s worth doing.

For Businesses and Offices
We also handle commercial spaces. First impressions matter, right? Stained waiting room chairs or dingy office furniture makes people wonder what else you’re not taking care of.
Offices – Those conference room chairs have seen a lot of coffee spills and lunch meetings. Reception area furniture gets sat in by every client who walks through your door. We do most commercial work after hours or on weekends so we’re not in your way. Our commercial upholstery cleaning keeps things looking professional.
Restaurants – Booth seating and bar stools take a beating. Spills are constant. We use fast-drying methods and food-safe products so you’re not losing business days.
Medical Offices – Waiting room chairs need regular sanitizing. We use hospital-grade stuff that kills bacteria and viruses. Your patients will appreciate it even if they don’t know we were there.
The Trickier Stuff We Handle
Some furniture needs extra know-how.
Car Interiors
Your car’s basically upholstered furniture on wheels. Coffee in the cupholder, kids in the back seat, that smell you can’t identify. Our car upholstery cleaning tackles cloth, leather, vinyl—whatever you’ve got.
Chicago winters are brutal on car interiors. Salt, mud, melted snow tracked in on boots. We’ve cleaned it all. Seats, door panels, headliners, cargo areas, the works.
The Pet Situation
Look, we love dogs and cats. But they’re hard on furniture. Our pet stain and odor removal uses enzymes that actually break down the urine at a molecular level.
Here’s the deal: regular cleaners just mask the smell. It comes back when humidity rises or when your nose adjusts. We eliminate it completely by treating the source. Sometimes that means getting into the cushion foam if the accident was bad enough.
And pet hair? We’ve got tools that pull it out from way deeper than your vacuum can reach.
How We Actually Clean Your Stuff
We’re pretty serious about using non-toxic, eco-friendly solutions. Not just because it sounds good—we have kids and pets too. We live in Chicago. We wouldn’t use anything in your home that we wouldn’t use in ours.
Here’s how it typically goes:
Step 1 – We figure out what we’re dealing with. What kind of fabric? What are those stains? We test in a hidden spot to make sure we won’t mess anything up.
Step 2 – Vacuum everything first. Gets the loose dirt and pet hair out of the way.
Step 3 – Pre-treat the problem areas. Stains get special attention with eco-friendly removers.
Step 4 – Deep clean. This is where we use hot water extraction (for most fabrics) or dry cleaning methods (for delicate stuff). Our truck-mounted equipment hits temperatures and suction levels that rental machines can’t touch.
Step 5 – Targeted stain removal for anything stubborn that’s still hanging on.
Step 6 – Optional fabric protectant. Think of it as a raincoat for your couch. Spills bead up instead of soaking in.
Step 7 – Speed drying with fans. Most furniture’s dry in 4-6 hours.
The solutions we use? Plant-based, biodegradable. No harsh chemical smell lingering for days. You won’t get a headache from fumes, and your kids can be back on the couch the same day.

Questions People Actually Ask Us
Most homes should do it every 12-18 months. More often if you’ve got pets, kids, or allergies making things worse. That formal living room sofa nobody sits on? Maybe every couple years. The family room couch where everyone hangs out? Probably annually.
Depends on what we’re cleaning and how we clean it. Leather dries in an hour or two. Most fabric takes 4-6 hours. We’ll tell you before we start so you can plan around it. Don’t sit on it while it’s wet—you’ll just undo what we did.
Sometimes yes, sometimes mostly, sometimes not at all. The longer a stain sits, the tougher it gets. Some stains actually change the fabric fibers permanently. We’ll be straight with you during inspection about what’s realistic.
We adjust based on what you’ve got. Silk and delicate antique fabrics need special treatment. We always test first in a hidden area. After cleaning Chicago furniture for years, we haven’t damaged anything yet, but some fabrics are naturally fragile.
We handle lightweight stuff. Really heavy sectionals or built-in pieces usually stay put and we work around them. If something’s too big or awkward, we’ll figure it out together before we start.
Steam (hot water extraction) goes deep but needs drying time. Dry cleaning uses way less water and special solvents—faster drying, good for delicate fabrics. We pick the right method based on your specific furniture.
