As with our other cleaning processes, we clean upholstery with great attention to detail.

1) We'll determine the fabric type to ensure that we use compatible cleaning chemicals.

2) We'll carefully inspect the upholstery and look for tears, rips, or other areas of concern that must be handled with extra care during the cleaning process.

3) Your upholstery is now vacuumed thoroughly, if needed. We remove as much dry soil, pet hair, and dust as possible before we introduce any cleaning agents.

4) Once the vacuuming is complete, we'll apply a fabric-compatible cleaning agent to the entire surface of the upholstery.

5) Using a fabric-appropriate brush, we gently agitate the cleaner into the fabric. This helps to break up any stubborn soil and allows the cleaner to penetrate deep.

6) The cleaning agent is allowed to dwell for a few minutes. This important step allows the soil to be softened and broken down by the cleaner, allowing the next step to be as effective as possible.

7) Steam cleaning. Our specialized upholstery tool is designed to recover up to 96% of the water used! This means extremely fast dry times on most types of upholstery.

8) We'll conduct one more inspection to check for any areas that need to be re-cleaned or treated with a specialty spot remover.

9) If you'd like, we'll apply any of the following to your upholstery: fabric protector, anti-microbial treatment, anti-allergen treatment, or deodorizer. The cost for these treatments vary.

10) Now we'll position all cushions and furniture for optimal drying. We recommend turning on any ceiling fans as well as increasing the temperature inside the house to speed the drying process.

Searching for Mattress Cleaning near Olympia?

You spend nearly a third of your life on your mattress — but when was the last time it was professionally cleaned?

Over time, mattresses accumulate dust mites, body oils, sweat, skin cells, allergens, and bacteria deep below the surface. Even if it looks clean, contamination builds up inside the fibers and padding.

At Grossbusters Carpet Cleaning, we provide safe, effective mattress cleaning using professional hot water extraction methods designed to flush out contaminants without over-wetting your mattress.

Why Professional Mattress Cleaning Matters

  • Removes embedded dirt, sweat, and body oils

  • Reduces dust mites and allergens

  • Eliminates odors at the source

  • Extends the life of your mattress

  • Helps create a cleaner, healthier sleep environment

Our process penetrates beyond the surface to remove what vacuums and store-bought cleaners simply can’t reach.

Mattress Urine Odor & Accident Cleaning

Accidents happen. Kids, pets, medical situations.

Urine doesn’t just sit on the surface. It penetrates into the padding, where it can crystallize and cause long-term odor problems if not treated properly. Simply blotting or using household cleaners often makes the issue worse by spreading the contamination.

We use a targeted treatment process to:

  • Break down urine crystals

  • Neutralize odor-causing bacteria

  • Flush contaminants from the mattress fibers

  • Reduce the chance of permanent staining

If you’re dealing with a pet accident, you can also learn more about our full urine treatment process on our Pet Stain & Odor Removal page.

The sooner urine is treated, the better the outcome, so it's best to act fast.

Your upholstered furniture is safe with Grossbusters!

At Grossbusters Carpet Cleaning, we handle your upholstery with the utmost care. Our technicians are extensively trained and experienced to handle any fiber type, whether natural or synthetic. Polyester, nylon, olefin/polypropylene, cotton, silk, and wool all have different cleaning requirements. Special consideration must be given to which type of upholstery is being cleaned. Our technicians are trained to test for colorfastness, fiber strength, and other stability factors before they begin the cleaning process. Grossbusters Carpet Cleaning will recommend the best cleaning method based on which type of upholstery you need cleaned.

Looking for Leather Cleaning? We do that too!

Upholstery owners tend to put off professional steam cleaning. As a rule of thumb, the upholstery in your home should be cleaned just as often as your carpet. For most households, this is every 6-12 months depending on a few factors such as number of residents, number of pets, and whether or not there are smokers living in the home. However, if your furniture receives heavy traffic, especially from pets, it may require more frequent cleaning. Oils, dander, and even small bugs like flees and ticks can infest your furniture when cleaning is put off. Individuals who suffer from allergies will especially benefit from frequent, professional steam cleaning.

Our clients choose us time and time again for their upholstery cleaning needs because we outperform other cleaners in the area.

Selecting the best upholstered furniture for your home...

As important as it is to select the right type of upholstery for your furniture, do not overlook the importance of selecting the right "build" of furniture. You want to make sure that they piece of furniture you choose is strong enough to support the level of traffic it will receive. For example, you should stay away from furniture with soft wood frames if it will be receiving a lot of jumping on and thrashing from kids and pets. Instead, choose furniture with a frame constructed from hardwood like oak, alder, or maple or from metal.

After you have selected the right type of frame for your furniture, you should now think about which type of upholstery is best for your application. If your furniture will receive heavy traffic from kids and pets, its best to choose a tough, synthetic material like nylon, polyester, or olefin. These materials are extremely durable and don't have complicated cleaning requirements. Microfiber sofas and chairs have become a popular choice in the last decade because of their soft feeling, resemblance to real suede, and ease of cleaning.

If you are on the market for more luxurious and decorative furniture, consider wool, cotton, velvet, or leather. Furniture covered in these upholsteries can be very beautiful and can add a great feeling to any room. However, they are usually not well suited for heavy traffic and require much more careful cleaning attention. Usually, these materials are far less durable and require specialty chemicals and equipment.
