Upholstery Cleaning FAQ for Charleston Homeowners

How often should Charleston homeowners get upholstery cleaning?
Given Charleston's hot, humid subtropical climate averaging 90°f in summer with high dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from upholstery cleaning at least once a year. Year-round termite monitoring (one of the worst cities in the US for termites) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Charleston most need upholstery cleaning?
Single and double-pile Charleston single house style (architectural signature) and Antebellum mansions on the Charleston Peninsula are the most common home types in Charleston and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Most upholstered furniture dries in 2–6 hours with good airflow. Avoid sitting on pieces until fully dry to prevent re-soiling.
Can you clean leather furniture?
We clean and condition leather using leather-specific products. Leather requires different care than fabric — conditioning prevents cracking and maintains suppleness.
My sofa has a W, S, or X cleaning code — what does that mean?
W = water-based cleaners safe. S = solvent/dry-clean only. WS = both methods safe. X = vacuum only (no wet cleaning). We always check codes before any treatment.
Can pet stains and odors be removed from upholstery?
Yes in most cases. Enzyme-based pre-treatments break down pet waste at the molecular level, eliminating odor rather than just masking it. Success depends on how deeply the stain has penetrated.
