Actual upholstery and mattress cleaning jobs from homes across Singapore. Every pair below is the same piece, photographed before and after in the same spot and the same light. Fabric, leather and curtains each need a different method, and the captions say which one was used.
Hot-water extraction through the seat, back and arms, including the piped seams where dust settles out of reach of a vacuum.
HEPA vacuuming first, then hot-water extraction to draw out what has built up below the surface, with the marked area treated separately.
Each module cleaned in turn so the finish stays even across the full run, rather than leaving a visible line between sections.
Cleaned in both positions. A sofa bed collects more inside the folded mattress than on the seat surface, and only opening it up reaches that.
Body oils and food marks lifted from the seat base and headrest, where long sessions concentrate the wear.
Leather cleaning and conditioning, not extraction. Pale hide shows body oils first along the arms and headrest, and conditioning restores the finish afterwards.
On-site steam cleaning with the curtains left hanging, so there is no take-down and no gap at the window.
Cleaned and conditioned rather than steamed. Heat and moisture dry out hide, so leather takes the opposite approach to fabric.
