Sofa cleaning in Westminster costs £57 for a fabric two-seater at Monster Cleaning, whether it sits in a Maida Vale mansion block, a Marylebone flat or a Pimlico terrace. A visit never comes to less than £67, so that two-seater booked on its own is £67. Upholstery cleaning in Westminster is for fabric only, and the sofa needs 12 to 24 hours to dry. Sort out the way in before the day: the porter, the lift and a place for the van to stop.

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
The form at the top of the page has an “Upholstery” tab: add the pieces, watch the price build, and the office rings within the hour (8am to 7pm) to fix a day. You can also call or WhatsApp 0333 555 2076, or write to office@monstercleaning.com, with the pieces, sofa sizes, fabric, pets and the marks you mind, for a price on the call. A few days’ notice is usually enough; today or tomorrow only when a technician is close. Moving or cancelling with under 48 hours’ notice costs £50. On the day, clear a metre round each piece and lift any rug from under the sofa.
Fabric, care labels and drying
Reading the care label
- W Water-based clean
- WS Water or solvent
- S Solvent only: checked on the day
- X Vacuum only
We clean fabric upholstery only. Leather, faux leather and part-leather pieces belong with a leather specialist, and antique horsehair or hessian ones are left alone. The technician reads the care label first and tests a hidden patch for colour: W and WS are fine for our water-based clean, and X gets a vacuum only. S means solvent only, and since our clean uses water, an S piece is checked on the day and you hear whether it can be done before anything starts. The washing-symbols guide decodes other labels.
The clean is hot water extraction, what people call steam cleaning; the step-by-step is on our upholstery cleaning page. Give a cleaned sofa or mattress 12 to 24 hours before anyone uses it, longer for thick or feather cushions. A morning slot lets it dry through the day, and an open window helps.

Corner units, recliners, headboards and king-size mattresses are priced on the phone. The same technician can do carpets on that visit, from £36 a bedroom (see carpet cleaning in Westminster).
Booked with an end of tenancy clean in Westminster, upholstery costs less: £51 for a two-seater, £23 a further seat, £24 an armchair and £29 a mattress.
Mattresses and curtains
A mattress is vacuumed and its marks pre-treated, then cleaned with little water; it needs the same drying time as a sofa, so book the bed you sleep in early.
Curtains are priced per drop, a drop being one panel from the rail to the hem. The technician checks each panel on the day to see whether it can be cleaned where it hangs, and you hear the price before work starts. Very dirty or fragile curtains need taking down and cleaning elsewhere. When you book, say how many panels there are and roughly how long.
Upholstery cleaning in Mayfair, Soho and Marylebone
Here a sofa may well sit above a shop or an office: at the 2021 Census the West End ward, which covers Mayfair and Soho, had the highest share of homes in commercial buildings of any Westminster ward. Soho’s streets are narrow and its Georgian houses go up to four storeys, some with a mansard on top, so the van may have to stop round the corner while the machine goes up the stairs by hand. Tell us which street door to use, the floor and whether there is a lift. In Mayfair the council’s guide places most of the large blocks of flats on Park Lane, Piccadilly, Berkeley Square and Hanover Square; if yours has a concierge, say whether contractors sign in.
Marylebone mixes mansion flats, which the Howard de Walden Estate built in place of some terraced houses, with flats above the shops on Marylebone High Street, so tell us whether yours has a porter and a lift or a street door and stairs. All three districts are in the council’s dearest paid-bay zones, E, F and G, controlled from 8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday.
Marks and pet hair
Every mark is pre-treated, but none is promised gone; the technician looks first and says which should shift, and a photo at booking helps. Fresh coffee, wine, food and grease usually lift. Old wine, ink and turmeric tend to fade, and bleach stays because the dye has gone. Extraction pulls more pet hair and dander from the weave than a home vacuum; urine in the foam can be reduced, though the foam may need replacing. Between visits, see how to clean a sofa.
Sofa cleaning in St John’s Wood and Maida Vale
St John’s Wood has more houses than most of Westminster: in the Abbey Road ward nearly one household in five lived in one at the 2021 Census. The council’s audit describes villas and semi-detached pairs in large gardens, with mansion blocks along Wellington Road and Grove End Road. In a house, the questions are which floor the sofa is on and whether there is a drive; if the van can stand on it, tick ‘we have free parking for the van’. The conservation area’s eastern and northern edges roughly follow the border with Camden, so a few streets east the right page is upholstery cleaning in Camden.
Maida Vale is mostly flats, from the red-brick mansion blocks around Elgin Avenue to flats in converted houses; give us the floor and say whether there is a lift. To the north, Kilburn Park Road and Carlton Vale run along the border with Brent’s Kilburn ward, covered by upholstery cleaning in Brent.
Porters and parking zones
Some porters and managing agents want contractors announced in advance. If yours does, give us the entrance, your floor, whether there is a service lift and whether the agent asks for proof of insurance.
A word with the porter before the visit saves a wait at the front desk.
Westminster’s paid parking runs in lettered zones from A to G, most streets are pay-to-park or permit, and the council issues no on-street visitor permits. If the van has to pay to park, that cost goes on your quote as a line of its own, so you see it before you confirm. It is passed on at cost for the time the visit takes and never tops £40 a visit; the form works it out at about £4.87 an hour in most zones and about £8.74 in the busiest. Anyone with a driveway, a garage or a free space in the block’s car park ticks ‘we have free parking for the van’, and nothing is added.
Upholstery cleaning in Paddington and Bayswater
Bayswater is stucco terraces and mansion blocks, and the council’s guide notes that many of the larger houses have been turned into flats; at the 2021 Census 27% of Bayswater ward households lived in part of a converted house. In a converted house, tell us the floor and whether the stair is the only way up; in a mansion block, the porter and the lift. Westbourne Grove runs west from here into Kensington and Chelsea.
Around Paddington Basin, new homes have gone up in blocks beside the canal. Where there is a concierge, ask where a contractor’s van can stop and whether the service lift needs booking, then tell the office.
Who comes
Our London teams do the cleaning; the office at 75 Shakespeare Avenue, Feltham (TW14 9HU), in Hounslow, takes the bookings. Every technician is interviewed in person, insured and trained on our 57-point checklist before working alone. We have traded since 2014. All our services are on the prices page, and the rest of the capital on upholstery cleaning in London.
Upholstery cleaning in Pimlico
Pimlico is stucco terraces of three to five storeys over a basement, some divided into flats, set beside the post-war estates of Churchill Gardens, south of Lupus Street, and Lillington Gardens on Vauxhall Bridge Road. In a terrace the sofa may be several flights up, so give the floor when you book. Many of the houses have a railed lightwell with its own stair down to the basement; for a basement flat, say whether the way in is that stair or the front door. On an estate, give the block name and the entrance nearest your flat. Pimlico shares parking zone A with Knightsbridge and Belgravia.
Frequently asked questions
What does a sofa clean cost in Westminster?
£57 for a fabric two-seater and £26 for each extra seat, so a three-seater is £83. An armchair is £33.
Is there a minimum spend?
Yes, £67 a visit, so a two-seater on its own comes to £67. A two-seater and an armchair together are £90.
How soon can we sit on the sofa again?
After 12 to 24 hours. Feather cushions take longest, so a morning booking suits.
Can you clean a leather sofa?
No. We clean fabric only; leather and faux leather need a specialist.
Can you remove every stain?
Not always. Each mark is pre-treated and you hear first which are likely to go; bleach and faded dye cannot be put back.
How is parking charged on a Westminster visit?
Westminster has no on-street visitor permits, so a paid bay goes on your quote as its own line, at cost for the length of the visit and capped at £40. A free space means nothing is added.
Do you clean sofas in flats above shops in Soho or Mayfair?
Yes. Tell us the street door, the floor and whether there is a lift. On Soho’s narrow streets the van may stop round the corner, and the technician carries the machine up.
Our Maida Vale mansion block has a porter. What do you need from us?
Whether the porter or managing agent books contractors in, which entrance and lift to use and your floor. Mention any request for proof of insurance.
How far ahead should I book, and who comes?
A few days usually does it, by the form or on 0333 555 2076. The technician is from our London teams, interviewed in person, insured and trained on our 57-point checklist.
Is there a free re-clean if I am not happy with the sofa?
No. Our 48-hour re-clean is for end of tenancy cleans only and excludes carpets and upholstery.
