Upholstery cleaning · Auckland-wide

Upholstery cleaning in Aucklandbrought back to life.

Lounge suites, armchairs, dining chairs and squabs — deep hot-water extraction lifts out the body oils and grime that flatten fabric, finished with a low-pH rinse so it's soft, fresh and touch-dry in 2–4 hours.

In short

Sofas and chairs, soft and fresh again.

Upholstery cleaning in Auckland — fibre-matched hot-water extraction for sofas, lounge suites, armchairs and dining chairs, touch-dry in 2–4 hours, no sticky residue. A low-pH conditioning rinse lifts the body oils, grime and odour out of the fabric and leaves it soft, not crunchy — and on a fabric sofa, the same hot-water extraction shown to kill dust mites clears the allergen a well-used couch quietly collects. IICRC-trained and owner-operated from our Henderson base, we clean fabric and leather upholstery across West Auckland, the North Shore and Central — an honest price by piece, before we start.

What an upholstery clean includes

A real refresh, fibre by fibre.

The same honest method as everything we do — a straight read first, the tuned clean matched to your fabric, and no surprises.

  • Deep grease- and oil-extraction across the whole piece — the everyday body oils and grime that dull the fabric, drawn out with heat.
  • Fibre-matched heat settings — we read your care tag first (the W / S / WS / X code) and test a hidden patch, so the method suits your fabric, not the other way round.
  • Fabric and leather both — leather is cleaned and conditioned to feed the hide; suede and delicate specialty fabrics we assess by the care label first.
  • Pet- and kid-safe pre-sprays and a low-pH conditioning rinse — soft to the touch, no sticky residue left where you sit.
  • Controlled moisture — we don't soak the cushions; most suites are touch-dry in 2–4 hours with a little airflow, a bit longer after odour treatment or in poor airflow or high humidity.

The honest bit: some fabrics are "dry clean only", and deep-set marks or old discoloration may not fully lift. We check the care label, test a hidden area, and give you a straight read before we start — never after.

Upholstery cleaning · Proof, not promises

In our clients' own words.

Great prices - lucked out due to special promo. Awesome communication and excellent cleaning job for my carpets and couches. They almost feel like new. Non toxic chemicals, truck mounted steam cleaner to tackle the muck and grime of life.

Apex has done a couple of houses for me, and they were perfect every time. The house that was done recently was a new build that had been sitting for a few years and had very fine fiber particle dust in the carpet. The carpet now looks and feels brand new.

Ben arrived promptly spent some time sourcing hose tap & power access, placed plastic protectors to ensure no damage could occur to walls / corners while moving the equipment in to the house. Worked in a very professional manner (non stop) cleaning a massive rug & 3 piece suite. I am an independent customer, my daughter used their services & made the recommendation, you should consider using them, I would give them AAA+++ (my top rating)

Five stars all round. Quick response to online enquiry with quotation. Date arranged and prompt feedback regarding suitable times. We required upholstery cleaning of 3 and 2 seater couches, and two chairs. Ben kept us updated with arrival times on the day. What a superb job. We are delighted with the outcome. Highly recommend. Thanks Ben!

Very courteous and friendly service. Bency really wanted to please us and did a perfect clean then offered to do a large mat as well, which was not in his quoted price. We were delighted and of course insisted on paying him for the extra work. Overall his price was most reasonable anyway. We would definitely use this Company's services again and would sooner wait for them if necessary, rather than risk a lesser job with another operator. Well done!

I called apex cleaners very last minute the night before, and they were accomodating and let me book an appointment for a big cleaning job. The technician, Bobby, was punctual, fast, and efficient! My mattress looks brand new - old set in stains were removed! Bobby also cleaned the carpets of four bedrooms - they looks so clean and fresh it's unbelievable! The job was done quickly and to a high standard.

Honest pricing

Priced by the piece, not by guesswork.

A two-seater, a big corner suite, a set of dining chairs — the price follows what you've got, and you see the exact number before you book. No surprises.

Good to know

Straight answers, before you book.

Most suites are touch-dry in 2–4 hours with a little airflow — crack a window or run a fan and it moves along nicely. It takes a bit longer if we've done an odour treatment, or on a still, humid day with poor airflow. We keep the moisture controlled so cushions are never soaked.

Usually a big improvement, often gone. We treat odour at the source with an enzyme treatment rather than masking it with fragrance, and lift marks with a fabric-safe stain treatment. Deep-set or long-standing pet odour can need more than one pass, and we'll give you a straight read on the day about what will and won't fully lift.

We match the method to your fabric, not the other way round. We check the care label, test a hidden patch first, and set the heat to suit the fibre. Some fabrics are marked "dry clean only" — those we won't hot-water clean, and we'll tell you straight rather than risk it.

Upholstery is priced per piece — you only pay for what you have, and you'll see the exact number before you book. A quick photo of the suite and any marks gets you an accurate quote in about 90 seconds, with no on-site markup.

Often most will — but not always, and we give you a straight read first. Fresh marks lift best; old, set-in, sun-faded or dye-lost areas won't come back to new. We'll tell you what will and won't lift before we start, not after — no false promises.

Leather, yes — cleaned and then conditioned to feed the hide so it stays supple. Suede and delicate specialty fabrics we assess by the care label first and tell you honestly what's safe — some are genuinely "dry clean only" and we won't risk them.

Every 12–18 months for a family sofa — sooner if you have pets, allergies, or light-coloured fabric that shows the everyday body oils and dust it soaks up. Regular cleaning stops the grime setting in and keeps the fabric feeling soft.

Fresher sofa, honest price —
soft again where you sit.
