Upholstery cleaning cost in Naperville & Aurora

What it costs to professionally clean a sofa, loveseat, sectional or chair in Naperville, Aurora and nearby, and what makes the price go up or down.

Most people want one number before they call anyone. Here is what upholstery cleaning costs with us in Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, Yorkville and nearby, and the few things that change the price.

Our prices are on the prices page. We confirm your exact price from photos before we come, so the price on the day is the price you were quoted.

Typical prices by piece

PieceStarting price
Armchair$60
Dining chair (each)$40
Office chair$45
Loveseat, 2 seats$100
Sofa, 3 seats$140
Sectional, 4+ seats$170

These are starting prices for standard jobs. Sectionals vary a lot in size, so we confirm the price from your photos. A heavily stained piece can cost more, and we always tell you before we start.

What changes the price

  • Size. More seats and cushions mean more fabric to clean.
  • Fabric. Some fabrics need gentler methods and more time, and a few cannot be cleaned with water at all.
  • Condition. Heavy soiling, set-in stains and pet odor take more work than a sofa that just needs a refresh.
  • How many pieces. Cleaning several pieces in one visit is easier to schedule, so ask us about a combined quote.

Pet urine and odor

Pet accidents are one of the most common reasons people call us. Urine soaks through the fabric into the padding, so surface cleaning alone often leaves the smell behind. These jobs take more work than a normal refresh, so the price can be higher. Send a photo and tell us what happened, and we quote it before we start. See our pet stain and odor removal service for how we handle it.

How to get an exact price fast

Send two or three photos of the piece: one of the whole sofa and one close-up of the worst stain. If you can, add the tag showing the cleaning code (it is usually under a cushion). We reply with a firm price, usually the same day. Use the quote form below or call (331) 302-2234.

Is professional cleaning worth it?

For a sofa you use every day, usually yes. Dust, skin oils and spills build up inside the fabric, and regular vacuuming only removes what is on the surface. Professional extraction pulls out what is deeper in. It also costs far less than replacing a sofa. Read more about how we work on our upholstery cleaning page, or see our sofa and couch cleaning service.

Questions to ask any cleaner

  • Is the price confirmed before you arrive, or is it estimated on site?
  • Do you check the fabric cleaning code first?
  • Is there a minimum charge or a trip fee?
  • How long will the furniture take to dry?

A clear answer to each of these is a good sign. If you only get a vague range, ask for the price in writing first. Our answer to all four: send photos for a free quote.
