Fabric and surface care

Sofas, carpets, mattresses and curtains hold dust, odours and stains that a routine clean cannot lift. Every job starts with the fabric, not the stain.

Book fabric care when

  • A sofa smells stale even after a routine clean
  • Carpets look dull or hold dust after vacuuming
  • There are visible marks you have already tried to treat
  • A mattress needs refreshing before guests or a new tenancy
  • Curtains have collected months of fine dust
  • You are preparing a property for handover or photography

Locked out, a leak, or no cooling? Call us — we prioritise urgent jobs.

Why fabric work is quoted, not charged by the hour

A three-seat fabric sofa and a leather corner suite are not the same job, and neither is a wool rug and a synthetic bedroom carpet. Item count, fabric type, backing, dye stability, age and previous treatments all change the method and the time. Pricing by the hour would either overcharge the simple jobs or rush the difficult ones.

So fabric work is quoted from photos. Send the item, its material label if you have one, and clear pictures of any marks. The quote comes back before anyone travels.

What is realistic on stains

Fresh water-based marks respond very differently from aged oil, ink, dye or pet stains. Professional treatment improves most marks substantially. Complete removal cannot be promised before inspection, and any company that promises it before seeing the item is guessing.

Aggressive treatment can damage fibres or lift colour, which is a worse outcome than a faded mark. Where a stain cannot be fully lifted safely, the team will say so rather than keep working the fabric.

Two things help: tell us what caused the mark if you know, and avoid applying more household products before the visit — many of them set a stain or strip the dye around it.

Drying and aftercare

Drying time depends on fabric, method, room temperature, humidity and airflow. Keep children and pets off damp upholstery, improve ventilation where practical, and wait for the technician's guidance before replacing cushions or moving furniture back onto a cleaned carpet.

What is included

  • Sofa and upholstery cleaning
  • Carpet and rug cleaning

A fabric-safe method is chosen after inspection — never a one-size-fits-all wash.

Questions we get asked

How is sofa cleaning priced?

By the seat, not by the hour, so the price is known before anyone arrives. A seat is one cushion position, which means an L-shaped five-seater is counted as five. Fabric type and condition decide the method rather than the price. Send photographs after you book and the quote comes back before the visit, including whether the piece needs shampoo extraction or a low-moisture treatment instead.

Can every fabric be shampooed?

No, and forcing it is how sofas get ruined. The team checks the material first — the care label where there is one, then the weave and the backing — and selects a method that is safe for it. Linen, viscose, silk blends and some loose covers shrink or watermark under extraction, so they get a low-moisture treatment instead. Leather is cleaned and conditioned, never shampooed.

Will old stains come out completely?

Many improve significantly, and some disappear entirely, but nobody can promise full removal on sight. It depends on the age of the stain, what caused it, the fibre it landed on and — most of all — what has already been applied to it, because supermarket spot removers often set a stain permanently. The team gives an honest expectation after inspecting the piece, before work starts.

Can sofa, carpet and mattress cleaning be done in one visit?

Usually yes, and it is the sensible way to book, because the same machine and the same drying window cover all of it. Confirm the item count, the seat count and the mattress sizes in advance so the right equipment and enough time are allocated to the visit. A minimum order applies per visit, which combining items comfortably clears, and everything dries within a few hours.

How much does home cleaning cost in Abu Dhabi?

AED 30 per cleaner per hour when you provide the cleaning products and equipment, or AED 35 per cleaner per hour when we bring everything with us. Both rates already include 5% VAT, so the figure you see is the figure you pay, with no call-out charge added at the end. The minimum booking is 2 hours per cleaner, and most apartments are booked for two to five hours. The price is identical on weekends, public holidays and same-day visits.

Is the rate per cleaner or for the whole team?

Per cleaner. The rate buys one trained cleaner for one hour, so a team of 2 working 3 hours is 6 cleaner-hours: AED 180 without materials, or AED 210 with materials. Sending more cleaners never raises the hourly rate — it only shortens the visit, which is why most customers put two cleaners in a two-bedroom apartment rather than one cleaner for twice as long. You can book between 1 and 4 cleaners on a single visit.

What is the minimum booking?

2 hours per cleaner for regular hourly cleaning, which is the shortest visit that still gets useful work done once the team has arrived and set up. Deep cleaning and move-in or move-out cleaning need at least 2 cleaners for 3 hours each, because those jobs cover the inside of cupboards, appliances, skirting boards and bathrooms in detail. The ceiling is 4 cleaners at up to 8 hours each in one visit.

What's included with materials?

Cleaning liquids and sprays, a vacuum cleaner, a mop and bucket, a broom, microfibre cloths and rags, and a step ladder — everything a normal apartment or villa clean needs, carried in by the team. Tall ladders and scaffolding are not included, so exterior windows above ground level and facade work are quoted separately. Choosing materials costs AED 5 more per cleaner-hour than supplying your own, and on your first booking we waive that difference completely.

If I provide materials, does the team bring anything?

No. At the AED 30 rate the cleaners arrive with their training and nothing else, so please have your own cleaning products, a working vacuum, a mop and bucket and some cloths ready before the visit starts. If something essential is missing the team cannot substitute it on the day, and the booked hours still run. If you would rather not keep supplies at home, book the AED 35 rate and we bring the full kit.

Is there a travel fee?

There is no travel fee in the 18 areas we serve across Abu Dhabi, including Al Reem Island, Khalifa City, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Musaffah, Al Shamkha and Al Reef. Al Wathba, Al Shahama, Al Rahba and Al Samha carry a flat AED 20 charge per visit, added once no matter how many cleaners or hours you book.
