What Melbourne customers say

These are real customers, real Melbourne suburbs, and real furniture that went from tired to restored.

5 stars rating

Our dining chairs were badly stained and looked worn out. The cleaning made a huge difference — they look almost new again. Fast, efficient, and very careful with the fabric.

Lily D., South Yarra
5 stars rating

We had a fabric lounge that absorbed pet odours over time. The team carefully treated it and explained the process before starting. After cleaning, the smell was completely gone and the sofa looked significantly brighter. Really impressed with the results.

Benjamin B., Richmond
5 stars rating

Our sofa had years of stains from kids and daily use. We honestly thought we might need to replace it, but Carpet Revive managed to bring it back to life. The fabric looks noticeably cleaner and feels fresher without any damage. Very professional service.

FAQs

How long does upholstery cleaning take in Melbourne?
Most single-item cleans, such as a standard 2-seat sofa or armchair – take between 30 and 60 minutes on site. Larger pieces, sectionals, or multiple-item bookings may take 1.5–2 hours. After cleaning, allow 4–6 hours drying time before sitting on the furniture. Opening windows or turning on air conditioning helps speed up the process.
Is hot water extraction safe for all upholstery fabrics?
No, that is why every item is inspected before we start. Hot water extraction (HWE) is suitable for most synthetic fabrics including polyester, nylon, acrylic, chenille, and microfibre. For delicate natural fibres such as cotton, velvet, and wool, we use a low-moisture dry cleaning method to avoid shrinkage or watermarks. Leather is treated separately with specialist leather detergents and conditioner.
Will you be able to remove old or set stains?
Professional pre-treatment significantly improves the removal of most stains, including older marks. However, some stains – particularly those involving permanent dye transfer, bleach damage, or ink that has fully bonded with the fibre – may not be fully removable. We will assess your specific staining during the pre-inspection and give you a realistic expectation before we proceed with cleaning.
Are the cleaning products safe for children and pets?
Yes. All products used are safe for use in a domestic environment and are appropriate for homes with children and pets. If you or a household member has a known sensitivity to specific chemical compounds, please let us know when booking and we will identify suitable alternative methods.
How often should I have my upholstery professionally cleaned?
For most households, every 12–24 months is a reasonable maintenance schedule. Homes with pets, young children, or allergy sufferers may benefit from annual cleaning. If you use your furniture heavily or notice odours, staining, or dulling fabric before then, book as needed – professional cleaning is one of the most effective ways to extend furniture life and maintain a healthy home environment.
