Affordable Upholstery Cleaning Services in Nairobi and the Surrounding Areas
Did you know that your sofas and upholstered chairs can become just as dirty as the carpets on your floor? That’s right! Dust mites, bacteria and even mold can grow on upholstered furniture. Your couches and chairs might also be absorbing unwanted odors and residues. Falling behind with your upholstery care can be damaging to both your upholstery fabrics and your health.
Fortunately, at Bluestar Upholstery Cleaning, we offer flexible and affordable upholstery cleaning services for your Atlanta home needs. We also use an all-natural, plant-based cleaning solution so that when your loved ones hang out on the couch, they won’t be exposed to harsh chemicals. Here’s how we can help you remove stains and odors from your favorite places to lounge.
Our services are affordable, but it doesn’t stop there. We’ll also clean your upholstered furniture by hand — we repeat, by hand! We know that your sofas, love seats, chairs and ottomans are an important investment dedicated to making your home a comfortable place, and we’ll take extra care in carrying out our entire cleaning process with our own fingers.
First, we’ll perform a color test on the upholstery fabric to make sure we won’t damage your furniture. Then, to further prevent causing harm to your beloved fabrics, stitching and fibers, we’ll carefully clean with a gentle and effective hand-cleaning technique to keep furniture looking fresh again.
It’s not worth it to purchase spot cleaners from the store — these toxin-packed chemicals can end up destroying your furniture. Hiring a team of professional, qualified cleaners is your best option if you want to preserve your upholstery. As we mentioned above, our services are affordable with no hidden fees, and our all-inclusive and per-room pricing secures us a spot as one of the most flexible upholstery cleaning companies in Nairobi, Kenya. Unlike other companies in the area, we never charge more than our initial quote.

New Upholstery Cleaning Process
You pay a lot of money for your furniture. You no doubt put a lot of thought into the furniture that you place in your home. You want to create a certain look. Perhaps you want something very comfortable. Or maybe something a bit more stylish.
Regardless of the look that you want to achieve with your furniture, we want to make sure it’s looked after. Furniture needs a good cleaning on a regular basis, especially if you have children and pets. Few things can spoil the look of a room than tired, dirty furniture.
The problem is keeping it clean. It’s a good idea to schedule a regular upholstery cleaning for your furniture, but the truth is many of us just don’t have the time. Or the inclination. You can hire professional cleaners to do it, but you want to make sure that those cleaners use products that are environmentally friendly. The last thing you want is to have clean furniture but come down with a rash from certain chemicals or have pets who are sick for the same reason.
That’s why we like to recommend to you our new organic upholstery cleaning process. Our unique Bluestar cleaning system uses a unique combination of bio-based cleaners that are given even greater impact by one of nature’s most powerful cleaning agents — Bluestar. When you combine this wonderful plant-based cleaning system with top-of-the-line equipment, it will give you an effective and safe way to clean your upholstery without having any harmful side effects for any inhabitant of your home.
1) Brush and Vacuum
We start by using a horsehair or silicone brush to remove dust, hair or pet dander from each piece. The key is not to be too abrasive. You want to work in the same direction as the grain. This part of the process also gives us our best opportunity to remove pet hair from the cracks and crevices in each piece of furniture.
Once the brushing is done, we slowly and thoroughly vacuum the furniture. If the fabric of the upholstery has pile such as chenille, velvet or corduroy, we brush against the grain before we vacuum the piece. This makes sure that we remove any dirt that may be captured in the pile fabric.
2) Spot Clean
Each piece of furniture comes with a tag that includes instructions on the best way to clean it. Usually, you will find one of four letters on the tag:
- W: Water can be used to clean this material. The trick with water, however, is not to use too much. You don’t want your furniture drying for days before you can use it.
- S: Never use water. In this case, we will only use our special solvent-based cleaner.
- WS: Take your pick. You can use water or a solvent to clean this piece of furniture.
- X: Do not use either water or a cleaning solution. Only vacuum using an upholstery brush.
Once we’re aware of the way that each piece of furniture needs to be cleaned, we can use the proper cleaner and avoid using something incompatible with the fabric.
3) Pre-Spray the Furniture
During this part of the cleaning process, we will use our unique upholstery cleaning solution on each piece of furniture, being careful not to overspray. Overspraying can do more harm than underspraying. Our carpet and upholstery cleaning experts, however, are trained to know the right amount of cleaning solution that they should use in each case.
We first use the cleaning solution on the deck of the upholstery. We never clean the cushions on the deck. Instead, we place them on the protective pad that surrounds the piece of furniture or on a small folding table that we use as part of our equipment. After we have sprayed the furniture, we lightly go over areas that show visible signs of dirt such as dark spots or oil with a towel.
4) Extract and Vacuum
Once the pre-spray has been done, then we will then use our upholstery extractor which will allow us to remove the liquid and dirt from the upholstery.
5) Positioning and Final Grooming
After each piece of furniture has been carefully cleaned, we then set up tented pillows and form a V-shape around the furniture while they dry. In most cases, your furniture should be ready to use again in a few hours.
6) Final Cleanup
Our cleaning team now cleans up any overspray or leaks and any dust from around the cleaning area. Our goal is to make it look as if we were never there. The only difference is that your furniture will look new, bright and vibrant.
We strongly believe in our Bluestar process. It will help your furniture stay cleaner over a longer period. We feel it is a healthier, more effective way to clean your upholstery and furniture. It will help give your furniture the clean look that you want, but at the same time, it will limit allergens that so many other kinds of upholstery cleaning can leave behind. It’s the perfect solution for anyone with allergies or asthma. Our method reduces mildew and lessens reaction to dust mite residue.
It’s effective against grease and grime and fights oxidation that dulls the look of your furniture. And it never leaves soapy residue or a soggy piece of furniture behind.
All the disinfectant and sanitizers that we use are 100 percent natural plant-based and biodegradable. They are antimicrobial and kill 99 percent of mold, fungi, mildew and bacteria. We only use ingredients that are safe for all your family and all your pets.
