The fabric check
Reading the care label
- W Water-based clean
- WS Water or solvent
- S Solvent only: checked on the day
- X Vacuum only
The service is for fabric. Leather, faux leather and part-leather sofas need a leather specialist, and antique horsehair or hessian pieces are not cleaned.
The technician reads the care label first. W means water is fine and WS water or solvent, while X allows neither, so an X piece is only vacuumed. An S tag means solvent only and our clean uses water, so an S piece is checked on the day and you are told before anything starts whether it can be done. A hidden patch is tested for colour first. Our care-label symbols guide decodes the tag.
Cushions come off for a thorough vacuum, and a pre-spray matched to the fibre and the mark works for about ten minutes. Hot water extraction, often called steam cleaning, then uses a small wand that draws the water back out on the same pass, with extra time on arms and headrests and spot treatment where marks survive. The upholstery cleaning overview has the method in full.
How to book
Booking takes three steps
- Your postcode and the property. The form gives the price.
- A date that suits you. Seven days a week.
- We confirm it with you by phone or WhatsApp.
0333 555 2076 · 8am to 7pm
In the form above, pick “Upholstery” and list your pieces; a running total shows the price. Within the hour, between 8am and 7pm, the office phones to settle the day. You can also call 0333 555 2076 or message it on WhatsApp. Give the sofa’s size and fabric, plus any pets or marks; the price comes there and then.
Mention your floor, any lift and where a van could stop. Before the visit, clear about a metre around each piece. A few days’ notice is usually enough; today or tomorrow depends on a technician being nearby. Cancelling or moving with less than 48 hours’ notice costs £50.
Sofa cleaning in Waterloo and Kennington
Waterloo is a district of flats: 79.1% of households in the Waterloo & South Bank ward were in purpose-built blocks in 2021. The technician carries the machine up, so the office needs your floor, whether the lift works and how to get through the entrance. Zone W has the borough’s dearest pay-to-park tariff; if your building has a car park space the van can use, tick the free-parking box.
Kennington mixes blocks of flats with older terraced streets, in zones K and KS. For a house, mention any steps to the front door; the sofa is cleaned where it stands and never leaves the room. East of both districts lies Southwark, with cross-borough bays on some boundary streets; for that side, see upholstery cleaning in Southwark.
Stain treatment
Every stain is pre-treated, and before work begins you hear which ones look likely to go; none can be promised. Recent spills, make-up, grease and sweat on the arms usually come out, while older coffee or wine, ink, curry and turmeric tend to lighten. Bleach marks stay because the colour has gone, and urine in the foam can be reduced but may mean new foam.
Hot water extraction also gets more pet hair and dander out of the weave than a home vacuum can. Send a photo of the marks when you book; how to clean a sofa covers spills between visits.
Drying time
Give a fabric sofa 12 to 24 hours, with nobody sitting on it in that time. A morning booking puts most of the drying into the daytime, and an open window helps. Feather fillings and very deep cushions are the slowest.
Parking the van
Where the van has to pay for a bay, the parking goes on your quote at cost as its own line for the time the visit takes, never more than £40 a visit, and you see it before you confirm. Separately, Lambeth’s off-peak diesel tariff for emissions band J is £16.02 an hour in most central zones and £22.16 in zone W; the southern zones are cheaper.
Double yellow lines apply around the clock and single yellows generally from 8.30am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday, so the van needs a proper bay.
Mattresses and curtains
Each mattress, single or double, is vacuumed first. Sweat and other marks are pre-treated, the clean itself uses low moisture, and nobody should sleep on it for 12 to 24 hours.
Curtains are priced per drop: one panel, from the rail to the hem. The technician checks each one on the day to see whether it can be cleaned where it hangs, and you hear the answer and the price before work starts. Very dirty or fragile curtains have to come down for cleaning elsewhere.
Tenants moving out can add the mattress to an end of tenancy clean in Lambeth for £29.
Upholstery cleaning in Vauxhall and Stockwell
Vauxhall has Lambeth’s highest share of homes in purpose-built blocks, 87.6% of households in 2021, so a visit there usually starts with a lift or a stairwell. Tell the office the floor, how the entrance works and whether the lift is running. Vauxhall Walk and Black Prince Road are in the Kennington parking zone, and South Lambeth Road is in Stockwell’s zone S.
Stockwell is mostly flats too, with older villas around Stockwell Park. For a house, say whether there are steps to the door and how wide the hall is; for a flat, give the floor and the lift. The Stockwell zone is on the central tariff.
Worked prices
A two-seater and an armchair cost £90. A set of six dining chairs is £78, and a three-seater plus a pair of armchairs £149. A two-seater on its own in a pay-to-park street comes to the £67 minimum plus the parking line, which cannot pass £40. For corner sofas, recliners, headboards or a king-size mattress, ring for a figure.
Booked with an end of tenancy clean, the pieces cost less:
| Piece | Price |

| Two-seater | £51 |
| Extra seat | £23 |

| Dining chair | £10 |
| Office chair | £8 |
| Mattress | £29 |

Upholstery cleaning in Brixton and Clapham
Around Acre Lane, 31.3% of households were in flats carved out of converted houses in 2021. In a converted house the technician carries the machine up the shared stairs, so give the floor and say if the staircase is tight. All of Brixton’s zones are on the central tariff.
Clapham has two zones. C, around the High Street, is on the central tariff; L, around Abbeville Road and Clapham Park, is on the cheaper southern one. Near the common a large share of homes are flats in converted houses, so the same stairs question applies. Some Clapham Common North Side addresses are in Wandsworth; for those, see upholstery cleaning in Wandsworth.
Sofa cleaning in Streatham and West Norwood
Streatham St Leonard’s had the borough’s highest share of flats in converted or shared houses, 36.8% of households in 2021, and Streatham Hill has mansion blocks. Either way the office needs the floor, the stairs and whether a lift serves your flat. Streatham’s zones are on the cheaper southern tariff, and the planned Streatham Vale zones were paused in November 2025.
In West Norwood the council was still consulting on parking controls in 2025, after its survey found heavy parking by the shops on Knights Hill, Norwood Road and Norwood High Street and near the station. Even on a free street the van may not stop right outside, so tell the office where it can. Croydon begins to the south; see upholstery cleaning in Croydon.
Who cleans
Our London teams clean carpets with the same machines, so a sofa and a hall carpet can share one visit. The technician brings the machine and the products. Monster Cleaning has traded since 2014, and bookings run from our office in Feltham, in the London Borough of Hounslow. Other boroughs are on our upholstery cleaning in London page.
Frequently asked questions
How much does sofa cleaning in Lambeth cost?
£57 for a two-seater and £26 for each seat beyond two, so a three-seater is £83. Visits start at £67, and paid parking for the van is added at cost, never above £40.
When can we use the sofa again?
Allow 12 to 24 hours; a morning visit gives it the whole day to dry.
Can a leather sofa be cleaned?
We clean fabric only, so leather, faux leather and part-leather sofas need a leather specialist.
Will every stain on our sofa come out?
Each mark is treated and you hear first which should shift, but none can be promised.
How is parking charged for a visit in Brixton or Clapham?
Both have controlled zones. Paid parking for the van is added at cost as its own line, never more than £40, and you see it before you confirm.
Our road in West Norwood has no parking controls. Is parking added?
Not if the van can stop for free. Tick ‘we have free parking for the van’ and no parking line appears.
How far ahead should we book a sofa clean in Lambeth?
A few days is usually enough. Book by form, phone or WhatsApp on 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm daily; moving or cancelling inside 48 hours costs £50.
Are your technicians vetted and insured?
Yes. Each technician is interviewed in person, insured and trained on our 57-point checklist before they work on their own.
Can the sofa go on our end of tenancy clean in Vauxhall or Stockwell?
Yes, at lower prices: £51 for a two-seater, £23 for each extra seat and £29 for a mattress.
If we are unhappy with the sofa, is there a free re-clean?
No. Only end of tenancy cleans carry the 48-hour re-clean, and even that leaves out carpets and upholstery.
