Upholstery Cleaning

Carpet, upholstery, mattress and curtain restoration using extraction equipment.

In short

Reflection provides upholstery cleaning — carpet, upholstery, mattress and curtain restoration — for commercial and residential clients in Richards Bay and KwaZulu-Natal. The service uses hot-water extraction and fabric-appropriate methods to remove embedded soil, dust and allergens that surface vacuuming does not reach. It is available as a once-off restoration or as a scheduled cycle built into a cleaning contract.

What the service covers

  • Carpet cleaning and hot-water extraction
  • Upholstery, couch and office seating cleaning
  • Mattress deep cleaning and sanitising
  • Curtain and blind cleaning
  • Rug and loose-furnishing restoration
  • Vehicle and fleet interior cleaning
  • Scheduled upholstery-cleaning cycles for contract clients

Why it matters

What you are actually buying.

What vacuuming cannot reach

Soil, dust and allergens work below the surface of a fabric and stay there. Extraction removes them. Surface cleaning moves them around and buys a few weeks.

Method matched to the fabric

Fabric is tested and the method matched to it before work starts. The fastest way to ruin an expensive chair is to treat it like a hardwearing carpet.

Assets that last longer

Office carpets, hotel mattresses and reception seating are capital items. A cleaning cycle extends their life and delays replacement, which is a budget argument as much as a hygiene one.

Covered against damage

R1 million defective workmanship cover applies to this work specifically, because deep cleaning is where the risk of damage to a client's asset is highest.

How we deliver it

Four stages, documented.

The same discipline applies whether the job is a monthly office contract or a single shutdown clean-down.
  1. Assessment and fabric test

    Fabrics and fibres are identified and tested in an inconspicuous area to confirm the correct method and to flag anything at risk before work begins.

  2. Preparation

    Areas are prepared, furniture moved or protected, and dry soil removed. Extraction on unprepared fabric turns loose dirt into a stain.

  3. Extraction

    The agreed method is applied — extraction, low-moisture or dry, depending on fabric and drying constraints — with attention given to high-traffic and high-contact areas.

  4. Drying and inspection

    Airflow is managed to control drying time, and the finished work is inspected with you before the team leaves site.

Questions

Upholstery Cleaning: common questions.

With hot-water extraction and managed airflow, most carpets and upholstery are touch-dry within four to six hours and fully dry within twenty-four. Where a room must be back in use sooner, we use low-moisture methods instead and will tell you that at quoting stage.
