Upholstery cleaning in Tameside with Monster Cleaning starts at £57 for a two-seater. A visit is never charged below £67, so that sofa on its own is billed at £67, while a three-seater is £83. We clean fabric only (never leather). A sofa needs about 12 to 24 hours to dry afterwards. Our Manchester team covers the whole borough, from Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge down to Hyde.

Choose “Upholstery” on the booking form at the top of this page, add each piece and the total builds, then expect a call from the office inside the hour (it answers 8am to 7pm) to fix the day. Tameside postcodes start OL, SK or M. Some of those districts also take in streets in Oldham, Stockport or Manchester, so give the form the full postcode.

We quote by phone for a corner sofa, a recliner, a headboard or a king-size mattress; everything else is on our prices page. Ring 0333 555 2076 or message on WhatsApp with the number of seats, what the cover is made of, whether pets use it and which marks you want looked at, and the price comes on the call; photos can also go to office@monstercleaning.com.
A few days’ notice is usually enough. Moving or cancelling inside 48 hours of the slot costs £50.
Fabric only: the care label comes first
Reading the care label
- W Water-based clean
- WS Water or solvent
- S Solvent only: checked on the day
- X Vacuum only
Nothing gets wet until the technician has read the care label. W and WS pieces take a water-based clean and an X piece gets a vacuum only. An S piece (solvent only) is checked on the day, because this clean uses water, and you learn on the spot, before anything is done, whether it can be cleaned; mention an S label when you book. Colour is tested first on a patch nobody sees, and our care-label symbols guide decodes the tags.
Leather, faux leather, part-leather, antique horsehair and hessian pieces are left alone; a leather specialist is the person to call. For fabric, the cushions come off for a thorough vacuum, a pre-spray picked for the fibre and the mark works for about ten minutes, and then hot water extraction (what people call steam cleaning) runs through a small wand that sucks the water straight back up as it goes. The arms and headrests are given longer, and the cushions go back where they were. Each step is set out on our upholstery cleaning overview.
Stains, pets and drying time
All marks get a pre-treatment, though no stain is promised to go, so the technician goes over each one first and says which should shift. Fresh spills, grease and the sweat marks on arms normally come up; older wine, ink, curry and turmeric are more likely to end paler than gone; bleach and colour loss stay, because the dye has gone. Urine that has reached the foam can be lessened, but the foam itself might have to be replaced.
Where a dog or cat sleeps on the sofa, extraction lifts pet hair and dander from deeper in the weave than your vacuum gets to. Our guide on how to clean a sofa covers the weeks in between.
Fabric sofas and mattresses take about 12 to 24 hours to dry, and nobody should sit or lie on them in that time. Deep or feather-filled cushions take longest. A morning booking gives the sofa the whole day, and opening a window speeds it up. Where the lounge holds one sofa, plan an evening on the dining chairs.
Ashton-under-Lyne and Dukinfield
Central Ashton has the highest share of flats in the borough: in St Peter’s ward, 27.7% of households lived in a purpose-built block at the 2021 census, and others live above shops. For a flat, the technician brings the machine up the stairs or in the lift, so let the office know which floor, if there is a lift and which door to use when the entrance sits beside or behind a shopfront.
On the terraced streets of Ashton and Dukinfield, the van stops on the street as close as it can, so say where a van usually finds space. The sofa is cleaned where it stands, which in a narrow front room means clearing about a metre around it and lifting any rug from underneath before the technician arrives.
Leaving a furnished let
Add upholstery to an end of tenancy clean and it is charged at the lower rates below. The £67 minimum is for the whole visit, so the tenancy clean counts towards it.
| Piece | Price |
|---|---|
| Two-seater sofa | £51 |
| Each extra seat | £23 |
| Armchair | £24 |
| Dining chair | £10 |
| Office chair | £8 |
| Mattress | £29 |
| Curtains, per drop | £33 short, £37 long |
Curtains by the drop, mattresses by the bed
A mattress is vacuumed, its sweat marks and stains pre-treated, then cleaned with low moisture and left 12 to 24 hours to dry, so plan another bed for that night.
Curtains are charged per drop: one panel, rail to hem, at the short or long price in the list above. On the day, each curtain is looked at to decide whether it can be done in place, still hanging, and you get that answer before work begins. Very dirty or delicate ones need taking down and cleaning by someone else, a cleaner you pick; we do not take items away.
Stalybridge and Mossley
Homes around Stalybridge run from the terraces of Stalybridge North to the detached houses of Stalybridge South, where a bigger lounge may hold a corner sofa or a recliner. Both are priced on the phone, so mention one when you ring and have rough measurements to hand.
In Mossley, 45.4% of households live in terraced houses, so the van parks on the street outside or as near as it can; tell the office if the road is narrow or the kerb is full. Mossley’s OL5 postcodes also reach into Saddleworth, which belongs to Oldham, so give the full postcode, and see upholstery cleaning in Oldham for addresses on that side.
Parking in Tameside
For Tameside postcodes the booking form puts no street-parking charge on the quote. Should free parking near you prove impossible on the day, the van’s parking goes on at cost, as a separate line capped at £40 a visit, and is shown to you before you confirm. Separately, Tameside Council’s town-centre car parks give up to two hours free, Monday to Saturday before 6pm, with a ticket from the machine.
When you book, say which floor the sofa is on, if a lift serves it and the nearest place a van could stop. Before the technician arrives, move things back about a metre from each piece and take up any rug that sits under the sofa.
Hyde and Denton
Hyde’s SK14 postcodes carry on past the borough edge into Stockport’s Bredbury & Woodley and Marple North wards, so a Hyde-looking address can sit in Stockport; give the form the full postcode. Stockport addresses are on our page for upholstery cleaning in Stockport. On Hyde’s terraced streets, tell the office where a van can stop.
Every M34 postcode in Denton lies inside Tameside. Denton West is mostly semi-detached houses, and where a house has a drive, say whether the van can pull onto it; that saves a hunt for kerb space and gets the machine to the door sooner.
Who comes to clean
Tameside is cleaned by our Manchester team, which works across Greater Manchester. Every technician has had an in-person interview, carries insurance and learned our 57-point checklist before being allowed to work alone. The technician brings the machine and the products. The same team cleans carpets, so a lounge carpet and a sofa can share one visit.
Calls and bookings go through our booking office, open 8am to 7pm, and the office confirms the date with you before anyone sets out.
Droylsden
Droylsden’s M43 postcodes cross into Clayton & Openshaw, a Manchester ward; addresses on that side are covered on our page for upholstery cleaning in Manchester. On the Tameside side, Droylsden West is mainly semi-detached houses and Droylsden East has more flats, so the useful details differ: for a house, a drive or a nearby space for the van; for a flat, the floor and whether there is a lift.
Frequently asked questions
What does a sofa clean cost in Tameside?
A two-seater costs £57; a three-seater, with its extra seat at £26, comes to £83. An armchair is £33 and a single or double mattress £35.
Is there a minimum charge for upholstery cleaning in Tameside?
Yes, £67 a visit, so a two-seater booked by itself is charged £67. A two-seater plus an armchair totals £90.
How long before we can sit on the sofa again?
Give it about 12 to 24 hours and stay off it until then. Feather-filled cushions are the slowest.
Do you clean leather sofas in Tameside?
No. Our clean is for fabric covers alone, so a leather, faux leather or part-leather piece is a job for a leather specialist.
Will the stains on my sofa come out?
Each mark is pre-treated, but full removal is never promised. The technician tells you first which stains are likely to shift, and a photo when you book helps.
Is there a parking charge in Tameside?
Not for street parking: the form adds none for Tameside postcodes. If the van has to pay to park near you on the day, that cost appears as its own line, at cost and at most £40 a visit, before you confirm.
How do I book a sofa clean in Tameside, and how far ahead?
Pick Upholstery on the form above, or phone or WhatsApp 0333 555 2076 from 8am to 7pm. Booking a few days ahead is usually enough.
Are your technicians vetted and insured?
Yes: an in-person interview, insurance cover and training on our 57-point checklist all come before any solo work.
Is there a re-clean guarantee on upholstery?
No. Upholstery carries no re-clean promise; the 48-hour re-clean belongs to end of tenancy cleans and leaves out carpets and upholstery even there.
Can you clean the sofa and mattress when I leave a furnished let in Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes. With an end of tenancy clean on the same visit, a two-seater is £51 and a mattress £29.
Do you cover Mossley and the OL5 postcodes?
Mossley is part of Tameside and on our Manchester team’s round, as are the OL5 postcodes that fall in Saddleworth on the Oldham side.
