Professional Upholstery & Sofa Cleaning in Boston, MA

Boston Green Clean offers expert upholstery cleaning for sofas, sectionals, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and all upholstered furniture — using eco-friendly, non-toxic methods safe for your family and pets. We serve Boston and all surrounding communities including Cambridge, Newton, Brookline, Lexington, Wellesley, and more.

Your sofa and upholstered furniture see more daily use than almost anything else in your home. Over time, body oils, dust, pet dander, food particles, and everyday grime build up deep inside the fabric — far beyond what regular vacuuming can remove. A professional upholstery clean restores the look, feel, and freshness of your furniture and extends its life significantly.

At Boston Green Clean, we bring the same care and attention to your upholstery as we do to your carpets and rugs. We assess every piece of furniture individually before choosing the right cleaning method — because velvet, linen, leather, and microfiber all need to be treated very differently.

Furniture We Clean

We clean all types of upholstered furniture in homes across Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, and the surrounding area:

🛋️

Sofas & Couches

Full deep cleaning for all sofa styles — two-seaters, three-seaters, chesterfields, mid-century modern, and everything in between.

📐

Sectional Sofas

Large sectionals cleaned thoroughly piece by piece, including all crevices, seams, and cushion backs where dirt and pet hair accumulate most.

🪑

Armchairs & Accent Chairs

From wingback chairs to modern accent chairs — we clean all upholstered seating types using the right method for each fabric.

🟫

Ottoman & Footstools

Often overlooked but heavily used — ottomans and footstools get a full clean including tops, sides, and any tufted or buttoned surfaces.

🍽️

Dining Chairs

Upholstered dining chairs are magnets for food stains, grease, and spills. We clean and treat them thoroughly without damaging the fabric or padding.

🛏️

Headboards & Bed Frames

Fabric and upholstered headboards cleaned and freshened — removing dust, allergens, and body oils that build up over time.

🪞

Chaise Lounges

Full cleaning for chaise lounges and daybeds — including tufted and patterned surfaces that require extra care.

🏢

Office & Commercial Chairs

We also clean upholstered office chairs and commercial seating for home offices, condos, and small businesses across Greater Boston.

Fabric & Material Types We Clean

Every fabric requires a different approach. We never use a one-size-fits-all method — we always assess the material first to choose the safest, most effective cleaning technique:

VelvetGentle low-moisture method

LinenLow-heat, careful extraction

MicrofiberDry or low-moisture clean

LeatherSpecialist leather treatment

Faux LeatherGentle wipe & condition

Cotton & CanvasHot water extraction

Wool BlendLow-temp gentle clean

ChenilleLow-moisture extraction

BoucleCareful low-agitation clean

Polyester BlendStandard hot extraction

Tweed & WovenLow-moisture spot treatment

Suede & NubuckDry specialist treatment

Not sure what fabric your sofa is?

No problem — we check the manufacturer's cleaning code on every piece of furniture before we start. W (water-based), S (solvent-based), WS (either), and X (vacuum only) codes all tell us exactly what method is safe. We never guess.

Pet Stain & Odor Treatment for Upholstery

If you have dogs or cats, your sofa probably tells the story. Pet hair, dander, urine accidents, and muddy paw prints are among the most common reasons Boston homeowners call us — especially after a long winter indoors when pets spend more time on the furniture.

Standard upholstery cleaning lifts surface dirt and freshens the fabric, but it won't fully eliminate pet odors that have soaked into the cushion foam. That's why we offer a dedicated pet stain and odor treatment as part of our upholstery service.

We use a professional enzyme-based formula that breaks down the odor-causing bacteria at a molecular level — not just masking the smell with fragrance, but genuinely neutralizing it at the source. This treatment works on urine, vomit, and other organic stains on all fabric types, and is completely non-toxic and safe for your pets once dry.

Pet stain tip

Never scrub a fresh pet stain on upholstery — it spreads the urine and pushes it deeper into the cushion foam. Blot gently with a clean cloth to absorb as much as possible, then call us. The sooner we treat it, the better the result.

We regularly treat pet stains and odors on sofas, sectionals, armchairs, and ottomans across Boston's neighborhoods — from condo apartments in the South End and Fenway to family homes in Newton, Arlington, Belmont, and Lexington where pets have more space but just as many accidents.

How Our Upholstery Cleaning Process Works

Every upholstery cleaning job follows the same careful process:

  • We inspect every piece of furniture and check the manufacturer's fabric cleaning code before we start anything

  • We pre-treat any visible stains, high-traffic areas, armrests, and headrests with an appropriate pre-spray

  • We apply our eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solution using the right method for the fabric type

  • For pet stains and odors, we apply our enzyme treatment before and after the main clean

  • We extract dirt, moisture, and residue thoroughly using professional low-moisture equipment

  • We groom the fabric to restore its texture and appearance after cleaning

  • We leave the furniture as dry as possible so you can use it again quickly

We leave your furniture as dry as possible. We use low-moisture professional equipment and take time to dry upholstery after cleaning — so you're not living with damp sofas for hours. Most furniture is ready to use again within a short drying period.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my sofa professionally cleaned?

For most households, once a year is sufficient. If you have pets, children, or light-colored upholstery, every 6 months is a better schedule. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of your furniture significantly.

Can you clean a leather sofa?

Yes — we clean and condition leather sofas using specialist leather-safe products. Leather requires a completely different approach from fabric upholstery, and we treat it accordingly. We also clean faux leather and bonded leather furniture.

Will cleaning remove all pet odors from my sofa?

Our enzyme-based pet odor treatment is highly effective at eliminating odors that have soaked into the fabric and foam. For very severe or long-standing odors, we'll let you know before we start what result to expect.

How long does upholstery take to dry after cleaning?

We use low-moisture professional equipment to minimize drying time. Most upholstered furniture is ready to use within a few hours, depending on the fabric type and how heavily soiled it was.

Do you clean sectional sofas?

Absolutely. We clean all sizes of sectional sofa, working through each section thoroughly — including all crevices, seams, armrests, and cushion backs where dirt and pet hair tend to gather most.

Is professional upholstery cleaning worth it?

Replacing a sofa or sectional in Boston can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. A professional clean costs a fraction of that and can make old, tired furniture look and smell like new again — it's almost always worth it.
