Sofa cleaning in Trafford with Monster Cleaning is £57 for a two-seater, but a visit has a £67 minimum, so that sofa booked on its own comes to £67. Add an armchair and the bill is £90, the two prices together. Our upholstery cleaning in Trafford covers fabric pieces only, in Sale, Stretford, Altrincham and the rest of the borough, and once cleaned, a sofa stays out of use for 12 to 24 hours while it dries.
Last updated November 2026.
Prices come up in the booking form above once you pick “Upholstery”, or on 0333 555 2076. Our Manchester team covers all five towns the council lists as main urban areas: Altrincham, Partington, Sale, Stretford and Urmston.
Parking and access in Trafford
A Trafford postcode gets no street-parking charge on the form’s quote. When the only spot for the van near you is a paid one, the quote shows that cost on its own line, at what the parking really costs and capped at £40, before you agree to anything.
Most council resident permit schemes here run in working hours from Monday to Saturday, as the entry signs show. If you live in one and hold visitor vouchers, mention them.
Inside, clear about a metre round each piece and pull out any rug the sofa stands on. The office will want the floor, the lift and the nearest place to leave the van.

£78 covers six dining chairs and £149 a three-seater plus two armchairs. King-size mattresses, headboards, recliners and corner sofas are quoted by phone. A carpet can share the visit, from £36 for a bedroom, and everything else is on our price list.
Old Trafford and Stretford
A visit near the football ground starts with the calendar. Old Trafford’s resident schemes are signed “Past This Point” on the roads in, with no marked bays inside, and are enforced for every stadium event; some also switch on for Emirates Old Trafford. Gorse Hill’s two schemes, on the Stretford side, apply for football only. Boards on the way in show the next restricted date, so book a day without a fixture or name it when you call.
Old Trafford’s homes are mostly flats and terraces, with about four households in ten in purpose-built blocks at the 2021 Census. For a flat, the office needs the floor and whether the lift works, because the technician carries the machine up; in a terrace, mention a narrow hall or an upstairs sofa. In Stretford, Warwick Road’s pay and display charges on weekdays from 9am to 5pm.
Old Trafford lies close to the Salford and Manchester boundaries; over those lines, see upholstery cleaning in Salford and upholstery cleaning in Manchester.
What can be cleaned, and how
Fabric only, and the care label settles the method. W allows water-based cleaning and WS water or solvent. An S label (solvent only) is the tricky one, since our clean is water-based: the technician checks that piece on the day and gives you a yes or no before starting. X allows neither, so the piece gets a vacuum only. Mention an S or X label when you book. A hidden patch is tested for colour first, and our washing symbols guide explains the other marks.
We turn down leather of every kind, real, faux or mixed with fabric, along with antique horsehair or hessian pieces; for leather, call a leather specialist. On fabric, the sequence is a vacuum with the cushions off, a pre-spray matched to fibre and mark left about ten minutes, then hot water extraction (steam cleaning, as many call it) with a small wand that draws the water back up. Our upholstery cleaning overview has the full method.
Drying time
Keep off a fabric sofa for 12 to 24 hours after the clean. Book the morning and it has the whole day; opening a window speeds things up. Deep cushions and feather fillings dry last.
Stain treatment
Every mark is pre-treated, with no promise of removal; the technician says beforehand which ones should shift, and a photo at booking helps. Fresh drinks, food, grease, make-up and sweat on the arms usually lift, while old wine, coffee, ink, curry and turmeric often just fade. Bleach and colour loss are permanent. Where urine has got into the foam it can be lessened, though the foam itself may need replacing.
Extraction also pulls pet hair and dander from the weave that a home vacuum misses; for care between visits, see how to clean a sofa.
Mattresses, curtains and lets
Mattresses, single or double, are £35: vacuumed, pre-treated where marked and cleaned with low moisture, then left 12 to 24 hours before use.
Curtains are charged per drop, meaning one panel from rail to hem, at £35 short or £42 long. The technician decides on the day whether each can be cleaned in place and tells you before work begins; very dirty or delicate curtains need taking down and cleaning elsewhere.
Booked with an end of tenancy clean, upholstery is cheaper: a two-seater £51, an armchair £24, a mattress £29, with lower rates for extra seats, chairs and curtain drops too. We do those cleans in Sale, Altrincham, Stretford and Urmston.
Urmston, Davyhulme and Flixton
West of Stretford the visit is normally to a house. Two homes in three in Urmston West were semi-detached at the 2021 Census, and Davyhulme and Flixton are much the same, so most homes here have no lift or shared stair to plan around. Tell the office if the sofa is upstairs, and if there is a drive the van can use.
Around the town centre, the council car parks at Atkinson Road and Golden Hill Park, and at Flixton Road in Flixton, charge from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
Who does the cleaning
Visits in Trafford are made by our Manchester team, which works across Greater Manchester. Before a technician works alone, they have been interviewed in person, insured and taken through our 57-point checklist. The same people clean carpets, with the same machine, so a rug or stair carpet can join the sofa visit. Machine and products come with the technician.
Sale and Timperley
In central Sale the visit may well be to a flat: 36.9% of Sale Central households lived in purpose-built blocks at the 2021 Census. So we ask which floor, whether there is a lift and who lets the technician into the building.
Pay and display in central Sale runs 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, with a two-hour limit on Northenden Road, Broad Road and Ashton Lane; Harley Road and Sefton Road allow all-day stays, so tell us which street you are nearest.
Timperley North is largely semi-detached houses, so mention a drive the van can use or a sofa in an upstairs room.
Booking a visit
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
Add your pieces under “Upholstery” in the form and the total updates as you go; the office then rings within the hour to agree a date. By phone or WhatsApp on 0333 555 2076, give the pieces, sofa size, fabric, pets and the marks that bother you, and the price comes during the call; email is fine too.
A few days ahead normally works, and a same-day or next-day visit depends on a technician being near. Cancelling or rearranging inside 48 hours costs £50.
Altrincham and Hale
The Altrincham West area has the borough’s highest share of homes in converted buildings, 7.9% at the 2021 Census. In a flat carved out of a house, tell the office the floor and whether the stairs are shared, since without a lift the technician carries the machine up.
Central pay and display runs 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, with a two-hour limit on Stamford Street, Railway Street and The Downs; Burlington Road and Mill Street allow all day.
Hale and Hale Barns are mostly houses, and Hale Barns mostly detached ones; where a drive can take the van, say so when you book. The council’s Hale car parks on Cecil Road, Victoria Road and Brown Street charge from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
Frequently asked questions
How much is sofa cleaning in Trafford, and is there a minimum?
£57 for a two-seater, plus £26 a seat beyond that (£83 for three seats, £109 for four), and £33 an armchair. A visit never costs less than £67, so a two-seater alone is £67; with an armchair it is £90.
How long does a sofa take to dry?
Give it 12 to 24 hours before sitting on it; a mattress is the same.
Do you clean leather sofas in Trafford?
No. Only fabric is cleaned, so real, faux and part-leather sofas need a leather specialist.
My sofa label says S. Can you still clean it?
Possibly. Our clean is water-based, so the technician checks an S piece on the day and tells you before starting whether it can be done. An X label means a vacuum only.
Can stains be removed from a sofa?
Fresh marks usually lift, but nothing is guaranteed. You hear before the clean which marks should shift, and bleach or colour loss is permanent.
What about parking in Old Trafford on match days?
On football stadium event days the permit schemes around Old Trafford and Gorse Hill are enforced, so choose another day or tell us the fixture. Either way, a Trafford quote has no street-parking charge, and if the van has to pay to park, that cost shows as its own line, capped at £40, before you confirm.
Do you cover Altrincham and Hale?
Yes, through our Manchester team. Central Altrincham has two-hour pay and display on streets such as Stamford Street, so say where the van can stop or whether it can use your drive.
Can a carpet go on the same visit in Urmston?
Yes. The team that cleans sofas also cleans carpets, with the same machine; a bedroom adds £36 and a living room £43.
How do I book upholstery cleaning in Sale, and how much notice is needed?
Price it in the form above under Upholstery, or ring or WhatsApp 0333 555 2076 from 8am to 7pm. A few days ahead normally works, and rearranging or cancelling inside 48 hours costs £50.
Are your technicians vetted and insured?
Yes. Each has an in-person interview, insurance and training on our 57-point checklist before cleaning unsupervised.
Do you re-clean upholstery for free if I am unhappy?
Upholstery has no re-clean guarantee. The 48-hour re-clean we offer covers end of tenancy cleans only and excludes carpets and upholstery.
