UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
Upholstery cleaning for sofas and chairs, safe for kids and pets
Sofas and chairs cleared of stains, trapped odors and dust mites, safe for kids, pets and allergy sufferers.
What a sofa holds that a vacuum never reaches
A sofa is the most used piece of furniture in the house, and it behaves like a filter. Skin flakes, pet dander, food crumbs and body oils settle into the weave and the foam beneath it, and dust mites feed on exactly that. Vacuuming lifts what sits on top. It does nothing for what has worked down into the cushion core.
Over time the sofa ends up riddled with stains and trapped odors, and the arm caps and head rests darken first because they take the most skin contact. Spraying perfume over the top only covers the smell. Until the soil is flushed out of the fabric, the odor returns every time the cushion warms up.
Fabric type matters too. Olefin and nylon tolerate a lot of water. Cotton, wool and printed fabrics can bleed or shrink when they are handled like carpet, and unrefined cottons and other exotic weaves need a lighter touch still. Treating every sofa the same is how a clean-looking couch ends up with a water ring or a faded panel.

How TJ’s cleans upholstery in your Denver home
TJ’s upholstery cleaning is aimed at three things: stains, trapped odors and dust mites. The process is safe for kids, pets, plants and allergy-sensitive people, so a family room does not have to be emptied for the day. The same non-residue approach used on carpet applies here, which means nothing sticky is left in the fabric to attract the next spill.
Pricing follows the fabric. Upholstery is $24.00 per linear foot, which includes olefin and nylon. Most synthetics, cotton, wool and prints are $25.00 per linear foot. Unrefined cottons and other exotic fabrics are $30.00 per square foot. Tell the technician what the sofa is made of, or read the care tag before the appointment, and the price will be clear before any work starts.
Call 303-400-6961 to book a visit anywhere in East Denver, Aurora and the surrounding metro. TJ’s sets exact appointment times, and next day and even same day appointments are available most days. Cash customers get a 10% discount.
Drying, the first night and how often to repeat
Give the cushions time to dry before anyone sits down. Upholstery holds moisture longer than a thin carpet, so keep the room ventilated, run a fan if you have one, and stand cushions on their edge so air reaches both faces. Keep pets off the sofa until the fabric is fully dry to the touch, and avoid setting dark throws or newspapers on damp fabric because the dye can transfer.
How often to repeat depends on the household. A sofa that the whole family and a dog share is worth cleaning about once a year, while a formal chair that nobody uses may go several years. Watch for the early signs: darkening along the arms, a smell when the cushion is pressed, or sneezing that starts when you sit down.
If a stain returns or something looks off in the days after the visit, call TJ’s at 303-400-6961. All workmanship is guaranteed up to 15 days, and a Denver or Aurora household should not have to guess whether a mark is a wicking stain or a new one.
