Keeping Your Sofa Looking Fresh: Dry Cleaning Costs Explained

 


Get tips for budgeting and caring for your modular sectional covers with professional cleaning services.

If you've invested in a nice sofa modular sectional for your home, keeping the upholstery clean and looking its best is important.

But what's the going rate for professional sofa dry cleaning services nowadays?

In this article, we'll break down the average costs to dry clean sofa covers based on material, size, stains, or pets.

We'll also explore do-it-yourself cleaning solutions to save money. Arm yourself with the facts so you can plan your budget.

Cost Breakdown: Average Dry Cleaning Rates

On average, you can expect to spend $50 to $100 for a standard-sized sofa dry cleaning. But several factors impact the final rate:

● Upholstery Fabric: Wool, microfiber, cotton, leather, or synthetics all have different cleaning needs. Delicate fabrics cost more.

● Sofa Size: Cleaning a large sectional costs over a loveseat. Expect pricing based on linear yardage or the number of cushions/pieces.

● Degree of Soiling: Heavily soiled furniture costs $20+ more due to extra cleaner time and supplies. Pet odor/hair also ups pricing.

● Pickup/Delivery Fees: Some cleaners charge for transportation or you must drop off upholstery.


As a general rule, budget $50 for a small sofa, $75 for a standard-sized piece, and over $100 for an oversized sectional. Severe stains can also increase pricing up to 40% more.

Professional vs. DIY Cleaning

Is it worth paying for dry cleaning services or can you effectively clean it yourself? Here's a comparison:

Professional Dry Cleaning

● Removes the most stubborn stains using industrial equipment

● Gentler on fabrics than DIY chemicals

● Deodorizes away unpleasant smells

● Convenient pickup/delivery options

Do-It-Yourself Cleaning

● Saves money over hiring a service

● Can reach mild stains with some elbow grease

● Allows you to clean covers promptly as needed

● Feels rewarding to complete it yourself!

Inspect your modular sectional closely first. Settees with excessive staining/pet odor, delicate upholstery, or large sizes will clean best professionally for $100-150. But minor upkeep cleaning in between may work fine DIY.

No matter which cleaning method you choose, be sure to act quickly on new spills before they set in!

Now that you know cost estimates, you can budget accordingly for keeping your sofa fresh long-term.

Think about your sofa size, materials, and household cleaning needs. Reach out to professional couch cleaners for exact quotes. And implement basic do-it-yourself care for light maintenance.
