Your upholstered furniture deserves the same care and precision as your carpets. At Gemstone Cleaning, we provide premium upholstery cleaning in the St. Louis area using industry-leading tools and safe, fast-drying techniques that restore beauty without damaging your fabric.

The Hydra Kinetic Tool Advantage

Not all upholstery tools are created equal. Gemstone Cleaning uses the Hydra Kinetic upholstery cleaning tool, a specialized system that delivers deep cleaning without over-wetting your fabric. Unlike conventional steam tools that leave sofas, chairs, or sectionals damp for hours, this advanced system lifts dirt and soil while keeping water application tightly controlled.

Benefits of Hydra Kinetic Technology

Prevents water damage and shrinkage
Faster dry times-often in just a few hours
Safe for delicate fabrics
Leaves no sticky residue

This makes it ideal for everything from everyday furniture to high-end upholstery.

What We Clean

We clean more than just couches. Our upholstery services include:

Sofas and loveseats
Recliners and armchairs
Dining room chairs
Ottomans and benches
Sectionals and chaises
Decorative pillows and cushions

If you’re unsure about a specific item, just ask! Our technicians assess the fabric and structure before starting any job.

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process

Every home and fabric type is different, so we tailor our process to your furniture’s specific needs.

Step 1: Inspection & Fabric Assessment

We check for stains, wear, and fiber type to determine the safest and most effective approach.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment

A safe pre-spray is applied to loosen oils, soil, and residue from daily use.

Step 3: Deep Cleaning with Hydra Kinetic Tool

The Hydra Kinetic tool lifts dirt using low-moisture precision cleaning-leaving fabric cleaner without soaking it.

Step 4: Spot Treatment & Final Rinse

Any remaining spots or trouble areas are treated with care, followed by a rinse to remove loosened soil.

Step 5: Drying & Final Grooming

Fabric is brushed, reshaped, and left to dry evenly. Most furniture is dry within a few hours.

Why Upholstery Cleaning Matters

Your furniture is one of the most-used surfaces in your home-and it collects more than just visible dirt. Regular professional cleaning can:

Remove allergens and bacteria
Eliminate pet hair and dander
Lift stains and odors
Extend the life of your furniture

Over time, even clean-looking upholstery can harbor invisible contaminants. Professional cleaning refreshes your home and improves air quality.

Beyond cleanliness, cleaning also preserves the aesthetic and tactile comfort of your furniture. Upholstery fabrics tend to dull and flatten over time, especially in high-use zones like armrests, cushions, and headrests. Our gentle, fiber-safe approach restores color, softness, and structural support.

Cleaning also helps protect your investment. Whether your furniture is heirloom quality or a recent upgrade, maintaining it professionally helps delay the need for replacement-saving you money in the long run.

If you’ve recently moved, had guests over, or own pets or children, your upholstery may be due for a reset. Gemstone Cleaning ensures your furniture looks and feels refreshed without risk of shrinkage, saturation, or chemical damage.

Additional Considerations for Upholstered Furniture Longevity

In addition to routine maintenance, be mindful of where your furniture is placed. Sunlight can fade colors over time, so consider UV-filtering window treatments to protect your fabric. Similarly, keeping pets off sensitive upholstery or using washable throws can dramatically reduce wear.

For families with young children, consider having upholstery professionally treated with a fabric protector. This adds a barrier against spills and helps resist dirt accumulation, making it easier to maintain between cleanings.

Lastly, don’t forget to clean under the cushions and in crevices-these hidden areas often collect crumbs, dust, and pet debris that can affect both hygiene and odor over time.

Tips to Extend Upholstery Life

Vacuum weekly to remove dust and pet hair
Flip and rotate cushions to distribute wear
Blot spills quickly-never rub
Avoid harsh store-bought cleaners that may bleach or damage fabric

Schedule professional cleaning once a year or more for high-traffic homes
