Upholstery Cleaning Services in Greater Vancouver
Your sofa handles a lot. Pets, kids, coffee spills, and years of daily use all leave their mark. Vacuuming only lifts surface dust. It cannot reach the oils, allergens, and bacteria trapped deep in the fibers. Mint Sanitary offers professional upholstery cleaning across Greater Vancouver, using eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for kids, pets, and anyone with sensitivities.
Trusted by Local Organizations
Every visit starts with a free on-site fabric assessment and comes backed by a 24-hour satisfaction guarantee. Our teams are background-checked, bonded, and insured. We hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating from more than 120 reviews, and we book appointments seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. We clean sofas, sectionals, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, office chairs, ottomans, headboards, cushions, and outdoor patio fabric furniture. If a piece has upholstery, our technicians can clean it.
Furniture Types We Clean
Sofas & Sectionals
We clean full sectionals, cushions, and frames, including arms, backs, and base panels. Cushion seams and crevices get deep-cleaned, and we pre-treat body oils and other high-contact areas before the main clean.
Armchairs & Recliners
Armrests and headrests get the same full clean as the rest of the chair, and we work carefully around recliner mechanisms. We match the method to the fabric and spot-treat the areas that see the most contact.
Dining & Office Chairs
Seat and back panels are cleaned thoroughly, with dedicated treatment for food and drink stains. The process is safe for fabric, vinyl, and mixed materials, and every chair gets a post-clean inspection.
Ottomans, Headboards & More
We clean ottomans and footstools on all sides, treat headboards with fabric-safe methods, and clean cushions and throw pillows individually. Outdoor patio fabric furniture is also welcome.
Cleaning Methods Matched to Your Fabric
Not every fabric responds the same way to cleaning. We inspect each piece before choosing a method, so your furniture gets the treatment it needs.
Steam and Hot Water Extraction
This is the most thorough option for durable fabrics like cotton, polyester, and microfiber. Hot water and a cleaning solution are injected deep into the fabric, then extracted along with dirt, allergens, and bacteria. It works well on heavily soiled pieces and in homes with pets or allergy sufferers.
Dry Cleaning
Delicate fabrics like silk, velvet, and vintage upholstery need a low-moisture approach. Specialized solvents and compounds clean without saturating the material, which means faster drying and no risk of water damage or shrinkage.
Foam Cleaning
Foam cleaning sits in the middle. An encapsulating foam is applied to trap dirt particles, then vacuumed away. It suits lightly soiled furniture and fabrics that are sensitive to moisture.
Inspection-Based Selection
There is no single method that works for every fabric. Before any cleaning starts, we check the fabric type, manufacturer care codes, existing damage, and stain type, then recommend the method that fits.

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process
Free fabric assessment
We inspect fabric type, care codes, stain types, and overall condition before recommending a cleaning method.
Book at your convenience
We work seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. All cleaning happens on-site, so there is no need to move or drop off furniture.
Pre-vacuuming and pre-treatment
Commercial-grade HEPA vacuuming lifts embedded pet hair, crumbs, and debris. We then pre-treat stains and high-traffic areas.
Deep fabric cleaning
We apply the method matched to your fabric: steam extraction, dry cleaning, or foam cleaning.
Odor neutralization and extraction
Enzyme-based treatments break down pet odors, smoke, food smells, and mustiness at the molecular level instead of masking them. All solution and loosened dirt is fully extracted.
Post-clean inspection
We walk through the results with you, check every piece, share care tips, and stand behind the work with our satisfaction guarantee.

Great post-construction cleanup for our Deep Cove renovation. Handled all the fine dust and debris thoroughly. Would use again for future projects.
Professional Cleaning vs DIY
Rental machines and store-bought sprays can help between deep cleans, but they have real limits. Consumer machines lack the suction power of commercial equipment, which leaves excess moisture behind. That extra moisture can lead to mold, mildew, or lingering odor. Store-bought products can also discolor or damage certain fabrics, and using the wrong product can void a furniture warranty. DIY cleaning tends to stay on the surface and skips the pre-treatment and post-treatment steps that lift stubborn stains.
Professional cleaning uses HEPA-grade equipment with real extraction power, fabric-specific products chosen to avoid damage or discoloration, and technicians trained to read care codes and identify fiber types. Odors get neutralized at the molecular level, stains are fully removed or improved as much as possible, and professional-grade extraction leaves less moisture behind, so furniture dries faster.
Why Regular Upholstery Cleaning Matters
Dirt and body oils break down fabric fibers over time. Regular cleaning slows down wear, fading, and thinning, which extends the life of your furniture. Upholstery also traps dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens, so a deep clean improves indoor air quality, which matters for anyone in the home who deals with allergies. Cleaning also restores how furniture looks. Colors brighten, textures soften, and pieces that seemed tired start to look new again.
Drying Times
Drying time depends on the method used. Steam cleaning typically takes 4 to 8 hours. Dry cleaning takes 2 to 4 hours. Leather dries fastest, usually in 1 to 2 hours. Fans and good ventilation can speed up drying in every case.

Mint Sanitary is based in North Vancouver and serves homes and businesses across the North Shore and Greater Vancouver, including West Vancouver, Vancouver, and Burnaby.

Upholstery cleaning is one part of a larger home. If you need help with the rest of the house, our house cleaning service covers everything from kitchens to bathrooms. Fabric window treatments collect the same dust and allergens as upholstery, so many clients pair this service with drapes and curtains cleaning.
