Upholstery and Furniture Cleaning in Charlotte
Is the sofa where everyone lands starting to look tired? Do the cushions hold on to pet hair, or does the sectional smell like last winter? Pronto & Carpet cleans upholstery and furniture in your Charlotte home, from sofas and sectionals to love seats, chairs, ottomans and dining chairs, so they look and feel fresh again.
We come to you, test your fabric first, and choose the gentlest method that will work. Call 704.258.9790 or book online, and tell us what you have.
Why upholstered furniture needs professional cleaning
Upholstered furniture works as hard as your carpet. Body oils, dust, food and drink spills, pet hair and everyday dirt settle into the fabric, and a vacuum only lifts what sits on the surface. Over time the fabric dulls, the cushions take on an odor you stop noticing, and the arms and headrest darken where hands and heads rest. Manufacturers commonly recommend professional cleaning about every 12 to 24 months, depending on how much the furniture is used.
What we clean
Our price list covers sofas, sectionals, love seats, chairs, ottomans and dining chairs, and we clean them in your home. If you have something else, such as a bench or a set of stools, describe it when you call and we will tell you whether we can clean it.
How we choose the right cleaning method
Not every fabric can be cleaned the same way, so we do not guess. We look at the cleaning tag, test the fabric in a spot that does not show, and then choose the safest method that will work. Whenever the fabric allows it, we use hot water extraction, which gives the deepest clean. Delicate fabrics call for a gentler method, and we talk through the choice with you before we begin. If a fabric cannot be cleaned safely, we will tell you rather than risk damaging it.
How a visit works
- We look at what you have. We walk through the furniture with you, read the cleaning tags and ask about spots, spills and pets.
- We test the fabric. A hidden spot tells us how the fabric and its dyes will react, and we choose the method.
- We treat the trouble spots. Arms, seat cushions and any stains get attention before the main pass.
- We clean. We use hot water extraction or the gentler method that suits the fabric, taking cushions off where they come off so we can reach everything.
- We add the options you chose. That can mean a deodorizer, a pet enzyme treatment, a fabric protector or a disinfectant treatment.
- We tell you what to expect. You hear how long drying should take, typically 6 to 12 hours, and how to keep the furniture looking good.
Options you can add
- Deodorizer for furniture that has taken on a smell
- Pet enzyme treatment, which breaks down the source of pet odors instead of covering it
- Fabric protector, applied after cleaning, so spills sit on the fibers a little longer and you have time to blot them
- Microban disinfectant treatment, an optional finishing step
Pets, kids and everyday spills
A household with pets or children puts furniture through a lot. The solutions we use are family and pet friendly, and the enzyme treatment is aimed at the cause of pet odors rather than the smell on top. Between cleanings, blot a spill from the outside toward the middle with a clean white cloth instead of rubbing, which spreads the stain and can damage the fibers. If a spot stays after you have tried that, call us and we will tell you what is likely to come out.
Signs it is time for a cleaning
- the seat and arms look darker than the back of the sofa
- the cushions smell stale, even after airing
- pet hair keeps coming back after you vacuum
- there is a spill or stain you have not been able to lift
- you are moving in, selling, or expecting guests for the holidays

UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
- Which fabrics can you clean?
-
We clean most common upholstery fabrics. Before we start, we read the cleaning tag and test the fabric in a hidden spot, then choose the safest method. If the tag says to dry clean only, we can still test and tell you what will work, since that recommendation is cautious and is not always the most effective way to remove soil. A few very delicate fabrics cannot be cleaned safely, and we will tell you so before we begin.
- How long will my furniture take to dry?
-
Your fabric decides the cleaning method, and the method, along with any protector, decides the drying time. Typical drying time is 6 to 12 hours. Running a fan or the air conditioning helps, and we will tell you what to expect before we leave.
- Can you remove pet hair and pet odors?
-
We clean off loose pet hair and soil as part of the visit, and hot water extraction removes the dirt and oils that hold odor in the fabric. For pet odors that keep coming back, we offer an enzyme treatment that breaks down the source instead of covering it. Odors that have soaked deep into cushions are harder, and we will tell you honestly what to expect before we start.
- Should I have a fabric protector applied?
-
A protector helps spills stay on top of the fibers so you have time to blot them. Cleaning can wear down the protective coating that came with your furniture, and everyday dry soil wears it down too, so we can re-apply protector after cleaning. It is optional, and we will tell you if we think your fabric would benefit.
- Do you clean leather?
-
Yes, we clean leather and vinyl furniture. Leather varies a lot, so we test it first and use a gentle method. Cleaning will freshen leather and lift surface dirt, but it will not repair cracks, peeling or worn-through finish, and we will tell you what to expect before we begin.
- How often should upholstered furniture be professionally cleaned?
-
Manufacturers commonly recommend professional cleaning every 12 to 24 months, depending on use. Furniture that gets heavy daily use, or that is shared with pets or children, may need it more often.
