Upholstery Cleaning: Sofas, Chairs & Fabrics

Residential & Commercial

Professional upholstery cleaning for homes, vacation rentals, and businesses across Brewer, Bangor, Mount Desert Island, and Central Maine. Penobscot Cleaning Services safely removes allergens, pet hair, odors, and dirt from couches, chairs, and fabric surfaces using hot-water extraction, low-moisture foam, or dry-cleaning for delicate fabrics.

Restored Comfort. Healthier Homes.

Deep cleaning that protects fibers, improves indoor air quality, and extends the life of your furniture.

With over 150 years of combined technician experience and more than 50 years serving Penobscot and Hancock Counties, Penobscot Cleaning Services, Inc. specializes in professional upholstery cleaning for residential, multi-family, and commercial properties. Our trained technicians inspect each piece, assess fiber type and fabric care codes, and select the safest, most effective cleaning method. We remove embedded dirt, allergens, pet hair, and odors while preserving color, texture, and cushioning. Regular cleaning maintains comfort, enhances indoor air quality, and prolongs the life of sofas, chairs, and other fabric-covered furnishings—especially important for seasonal homes, rentals, and coastal properties.

When to Clean

Most upholstered furniture should be professionally cleaned every 12–24 months, or sooner in homes with pets, children, smokers, or allergy sufferers. High-traffic areas, fabrics exposed to Maine’s winter salt or spring mud, and rental units benefit from more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance, hygiene, and fiber integrity.

Thorough Upholstery Cleaning Process

Step by Step:

Inspect & fabric testing
We assess fabric type, manufacturer tags, construction, and wear patterns to select the safest and most effective upholstery cleaning method.

Targeted pre-treatment
Stains, high-traffic areas, and odors are pre-treated using fiber-compatible solutions designed to break down soils without damaging fabric.

Fabric-appropriate cleaning
We clean using hot-water extraction, low-moisture foam, or dry-cleaning methods based on fabric requirements and soil conditions.

Rinse & controlled extraction
Cleaning residues are thoroughly removed to prevent re-soiling and extend the life of upholstery fibers.

Drying, grooming & protection
Furniture is dried under controlled conditions, cushions are fluffed, fibers groomed, and fabric protectant applied if requested.

Post-clean inspection & care guidance
We review results, confirm proper drying, and provide maintenance recommendations to keep upholstery cleaner longer.
