Tell us about stains, spills, pet accidents and products already tried before the visit. Some stains, damage and odours are permanent, so removal cannot be guaranteed.

What does couch cleaning cost in Australia?
Per seat looks cheap.
Check the minimum.
Most couch cleaners price per seat, usually $35–$40 a seat for fabric, with a second group at about $55. We read their rate cards in seven cities on 12 October 2026: operators' 3-seater prices, or a per-seat price multiplied by three, ran $105–$220. Our 3-seater is $180, which works out at $60 a seat: above every operator's price in 5 of the 7 cities and at or near the top in the rest. The per-seat price is only half the story: many of those operators also set a minimum of $80–$135, so one small couch often costs the minimum, not the seat price. Ours is a $150 minimum, applied once to the whole booking. A 2-seater on its own costs $150 with us (the minimum); from a $37-a-seat operator with a $135 minimum it is $135.

Advertised prices before any minimum, not quotes for the same couch: fabric, size, method, add-ons and GST differ, so we do not average them or rank providers. Marketplaces, cost guides and limited-time offers are left out of the ranges. Every provider, item and condition is in the couch and upholstery cleaning price guide.
Steam or dry couch cleaning?
The label
decides.
We clean fabric couches by hot-water extraction only, the method most people mean by steam cleaning. It suits fabrics whose care label allows wet cleaning. Some fabrics are labelled for dry or solvent cleaning only; those need a specialist, and your cleaner will not wet clean them. Where providers offer both, dry cleaning is usually priced higher: one national brand lists $55 a seat dry against $37 a seat for extraction.
Leather couches are outside this service, whatever the method.
Pet hair, stains and smells
Tell us first,
so we can look.
Mention pet accidents, food or drink spills, ink, makeup or anything you have already tried when you book. The cleaner pre-treats suitable areas and extracts them, but some stains, damage and odours are permanent, so removal cannot be guaranteed. We don’t sell deodoriser, sanitiser or stain-protection packages.
For the days in between, our guides cover removing pet hair from a couch and getting stains out of a couch.
How do I compare couch cleaning quotes?
Same couch,
final total.
The total for your couch, not the per-seat starting price: ask how many seats they count, and whether a chaise, modular corner or loose cushions are extra.
The minimum charge, and whether one 2- or 3-seater on its own reaches it.
Whether GST is included. Many pages do not say.
What is extra: stain protection, deodorising, sanitising, pet urine treatment, access or parking.
The method: hot-water extraction or dry cleaning, and whether your fabric's care label allows it.
What happens if a stain remains, and the re-clean or refund terms in writing.
Before and after the visit
Clear it,
then air it.
Before
Take throws, blankets and loose covers off, and clear the area around the couch so the cleaner can reach every side.
Tell us in booking about stains, spills, pet accidents and anything you have already tried on them.
Leave the care label where the cleaner can find it (usually under a seat cushion or on the base).
In an apartment, add the floor, lift and parking details so the machine can come up.
After
Open windows or run a fan, and keep children and pets off the fabric until it is dry to the touch.
Put cushions back once they are dry; follow the drying advice your cleaner gives on the day.
