Upholstery cleaning in Wandsworth with Monster Cleaning costs £57 for a fabric two-seater sofa and £83 for a three-seater. Each visit carries a £67 minimum, so a two-seater on its own comes to £67. We clean fabric only, and drying takes 12 to 24 hours. Our London teams work across the borough, from Putney and Roehampton to Battersea, Nine Elms, Balham and Tooting.

Use the booking form above or phone us, and mention where a van can stop: short-stay bays near Wandsworth’s town centres usually allow one or two hours.
Drying time
Stay off a cleaned sofa or mattress for about 12 to 24 hours, until it is fully dry. Feather fillings and deep foam take longest. A morning visit gives it the whole day, ideally with a window open.
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
First comes the care label. W allows water-based cleaning, WS water or solvent, and X neither, so an X piece is only vacuumed. S means solvent only; since this clean uses water, an S-coded sofa is assessed on the day, and you learn whether it can be cleaned before any work begins. Then a hidden spot is tried for colour bleed (our care-label symbols guide decodes faded labels). Leather, faux leather and part-leather pieces belong with a leather specialist, and we leave antique horsehair or hessian upholstery alone too.
The clean: cushions off for a thorough vacuum, a pre-spray suited to the fibre and the mark left about ten minutes, then hot water extraction (what people call steam cleaning) with a small wand that recovers the water in the same stroke. Arms and headrests are given longer. Our upholstery cleaning page sets out every step.
Stains and pet hair
Each mark gets a pre-treatment, and the technician says up front which ones should shift; nobody can promise all of them will. Send a photo when you book. Fresh coffee, wine, make-up, food, grease and sweat on the arms normally lift. Old coffee, ink, curry and turmeric usually fade without disappearing. Bleach spots and faded colour stay put, since the dye is gone, and urine soaked into the foam can be eased, though the foam itself may need replacing. Where pets sit, extraction draws more hair and dander out of the weave than a home vacuum manages.

Corner sofas, recliners, headboards and king-size mattresses get a quote on the phone. A carpet can join the visit, from £36 a bedroom (see carpet cleaning in Wandsworth). On the same day as an end of tenancy clean in Wandsworth, a two-seater is £51. A visit cancelled or moved inside 48 hours costs £50. The full list is on our prices page.
Who does the cleaning
A technician from our London teams (see upholstery cleaning in London) brings the machine and the products. Each one passes an in-person interview, holds insurance and completes training on our 57-point checklist before taking a job alone. Carpets are handled by the same teams and kit, so a rug can share the trip.
Upholstery cleaning in Battersea and Nine Elms
Battersea’s Victorian mansion blocks on Prince of Wales Drive rise five storeys, so say which floor you are on and whether the block has a lift before the machine goes up. The Battersea Park parking zone is controlled from 9am to 8pm every day, bank holidays included, which means a weekend visit there still needs a paid bay or a permit.
Sofa cleaning in Nine Elms nearly always means a flat in a purpose-built block: 97.6% of the ward’s households live in one (Census 2021). The council says new developments are often left out of the controlled parking zone, so residents may have no street permits to offer. Ask the concierge or building manager about a loading bay, lift booking and how the technician gets in, then pass it on.
Parking the van
If the van has to pay to park, the form shows that cost as a separate line, capped at £40 a visit, before you confirm. Ticking “we have free parking for the van” for a driveway or free bay means no parking line at all. For reference, Wandsworth’s standard pay-and-display tariff is £3.70 an hour, and bays near town centres cost £4.30. Some zones are controlled for one hour a day only, mostly on weekdays, with anyone free to park outside it, so mention it if your road is one.
Before the visit, make about a metre of space round every piece and move any rug from under the sofa. Let the office know your floor, whether there is a lift and the nearest spot for the van.
Mattresses and curtains
Single and double mattresses cost £35; king-size ones are quoted on the phone. The mattress is vacuumed, its marks pre-treated and a low-moisture clean applied, then you sleep elsewhere for 12 to 24 hours.
Each curtain panel counts as one drop, measured from rail to hem. A short drop is £35 and a long drop £42, so two long drops make £84. The technician decides on the day, curtain by curtain, whether it can be cleaned hanging up, and tells you that and the price before starting. A very dirty or fragile curtain needs taking down for cleaning elsewhere.
Sofa cleaning in Putney and Roehampton
Near Putney High Street the A1 zone is controlled from 8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday, with one- or two-hour stays, and shoppers’ bays on Lower Richmond Road allow just 30 minutes. If you live there, give the office the closest street where a van can stay for the whole visit. Putney Lower Common, in the borough’s north-western corner, leads west towards Barnes; for that side, see upholstery cleaning in Richmond.
In Roehampton, the council’s appraisal of the Alton Estate lists point blocks, slab blocks of maisonettes, terraces and bungalows. A maisonette has its own inside stair, so give both floors: the one with the front door and the one with the sofa. Street permits do not apply on housing estate roads, which may run their own parking rules, so check what your estate allows for a visiting van. The R1 and R2 zones are controlled for one weekday hour each, 10 to 11am and 11am to noon.
Booking
In the form, pick “Upholstery” and add each piece; the total updates as you go, and the office rings within the hour (8am to 7pm, every day) to fix a date. Or call 0333 555 2076, or WhatsApp the same number, with the pieces, sofa size, fabric, any pets and the marks. You get a price there and then. Booking a few days ahead usually works; same-day or next-day is possible only with a technician nearby. Email: office@monstercleaning.com.
Upholstery cleaning in Wandsworth Town and Earlsfield
The council’s Wandsworth Town conservation appraisal notes three-storey terraces with shops at street level among the older two-storey houses. Above a shop, tell the office which street door to use and how many flights there are. Most pay-and-display bays on Garratt Lane have a one-hour limit, so suggest a nearby street with longer stays if you know one.
In Earlsfield, the Fieldview estate in the Magdalen Park conservation area is flats built to look like terraced houses, each with its own entrance, so say whether yours is upstairs or downstairs. AFC Wimbledon’s stadium is off Plough Lane in Merton. On first-team home match days the council restricts the Earlsfield L2 zone and two nearby zones from 1pm to 8.30pm, with one-hour pay-and-display stays, so book a morning slot that day. Over the boundary, see upholstery cleaning in Merton.
Upholstery cleaning in Tooting and Balham
At Tooting Broadway, zone E1 is controlled from 9.30am to 5.30pm on Monday to Saturday. Some roads near St George’s Hospital have eight-hour pay-and-display bays, which suit a longer visit. On the Totterdown Fields estate some cottages were laid out as a separate ground-floor and first-floor flat, so say which floor the sofa is on.
In South Balham ward 46.2% of households live in a converted or shared house, the highest share in the borough; for an upstairs conversion, give the number of flights. H3 Balham bays are controlled from 9.30am to 5.30pm, Saturdays included in some streets, and some Bedford Hill bays take pay-and-display visitors only, for an hour. On Cavendish Road and Hazelbourne Road one side is Lambeth, and permits or tickets from either council work in bays on both sides. For homes over that line, see upholstery cleaning in Lambeth.
Frequently asked questions
What does sofa cleaning cost in Wandsworth, and is there a minimum?
A fabric two-seater is £57 and a three-seater £83. Visits have a £67 minimum, so a two-seater alone comes to £67.
How soon can we sit on the sofa again?
Give it about 12 to 24 hours and wait until it feels dry.
Can you clean a leather sofa in Wandsworth?
No. Only fabric is cleaned; leather, faux leather and part-leather pieces need a leather specialist.
Will the marks on our sofa come out?
Each mark is pre-treated, but full removal is never promised. Before starting, the technician tells you which marks should shift.
How is parking charged for a visit in Battersea or Putney?
If the van has to pay, the form adds that cost as a separate line, capped at £40 a visit, which you see before confirming. With a driveway or free bay, tick the free-parking box and no line is added.
Does an AFC Wimbledon match day matter in Earlsfield?
On first-team home match days the council restricts parking around Earlsfield from 1pm to 8.30pm, so a morning slot is easier.
How do I book, and how much notice do you need?
Use the form at the top of the page, or ring or WhatsApp 0333 555 2076. A few days ahead usually works. Changing or cancelling inside 48 hours costs £50.
Are your technicians vetted and insured?
Yes. They are interviewed in person and insured, and they finish training on our 57-point checklist before working alone.
Do you re-clean the sofa for free if we are not happy?
No. The free 48-hour re-clean belongs to end of tenancy cleans only, and carpets and upholstery sit outside it.
