The price of professional sofa cleaning in Singapore isn't as opaque as it looks – once you understand what drives the number. This guide gives you the honest market range, what each price band actually buys you, and exactly what Upward charges so there are no surprises when you book.
What sofa cleaning actually costs in Singapore
Across Singapore, professional sofa cleaning generally falls between S$60 and S$200 per piece. A 1-seater armchair sits at the lower end. A 3-seater leather sofa or large L-shape sits at the top. Most family living rooms with a 3-seater plus a couple of armchairs land somewhere between S$120 and S$220 total – cheaper if you bundle.
Anything below S$50 for a 3-seater should be a red flag: that's either a spray-and-wipe job (no real extraction) or a bait price where add-ons are quoted on arrival. Anything above S$250 for a single standard fabric sofa is usually a premium concierge service, not better cleaning.
Why prices vary – the four real factors
Four things actually change the number. Once you know them, you can sanity-check any quote you get.
- Fabric type. Leather is priced higher because it needs a pH-balanced cleaner and a conditioning step that fabric doesn't. Velvet, linen, and other delicate fabrics may also carry a small premium.
- Size (seater count). Every additional seater adds extraction time. L-shapes and ottomans are usually priced as additional seaters.
- Sanitisation level. A standard clean removes dust and dirt. Adding a medical-grade sanitiser (the kind that's pet- and baby-safe) is usually an S$20–S$30 add-on – often free during promotional periods.
- Urgency. Same-day or weekend slots cost more at most providers. At Upward, weekday same-day is included at standard pricing where availability allows.
Fabric sofa cleaning prices at Upward
Fabric sofas at Upward use our 5-step deep extraction process: clear rinse pass, cleaning shampoo and soft scrub, deep water extraction, second clear rinse to lift all residue, then a dry extraction pass to pull moisture out for fast drying.
| Service | Typical SG range | Upward price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Seater Fabric Armchair | S$40–S$70 | S$35 |
| 2-Seater Fabric Sofa | S$70–S$110 | S$70 |
| 3-Seater Fabric Sofa | S$85–S$140 | S$85 |
| 3-Seater L-Shaped Fabric Sofa | S$110–S$170 | S$100 |
| Ottoman / Additional Seater | S$25–S$40 | S$20 |
Leather sofa cleaning prices at Upward
Leather is priced higher because it's a different process – no extraction, a leather-safe cleaner, and a conditioning step that replenishes the oils Singapore's aircon strips away. Why leather behaves differently goes into the full reasoning.
| Service | Typical SG range | Upward price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Seater Leather Armchair | S$60–S$100 | S$70 |
| 2-Seater Leather Sofa | S$90–S$150 | S$100 |
| 3-Seater Leather Sofa | S$110–S$180 | S$120 |
| L-shaped / Custom configurations | S$150–S$280 | Custom quote |
Bundle deals – when buying more actually saves money
If you have more than one piece of upholstery to clean (most homes do), bundling beats booking items individually. Every bundle at Upward saves a flat S$30 versus the individual prices, and the Grand Opening promo is currently active.
| Bundle | Individual total | Bundle price |
|---|---|---|
| Living Room (3-seater + 2 armchairs) | S$155 | S$125 |
| Nursery (cot frame + cot mattress + nursing chair) | S$155 | S$125 |
| Pet Owner (3-seater fabric sofa + large pet bed) | S$150 | S$120 |
| Living Room + Queen Mattress | S$165 | S$135 |
See the full bundle list on the services page. Every bundle is a flat S$30 off right now – worth booking even if one of the armchairs doesn't strictly need a clean yet.
What's included (and what isn't)
Two cleans at the same price aren't always the same job. Here's exactly what an Upward sofa clean includes – and what genuinely isn't included so you're not surprised.
Included in the price
- Full 5-step extraction (fabric) or clean + condition (leather)
- Zero-residue rinse pass – nothing left to attract dirt
- Medical-grade sanitiser (currently free on bundle bookings)
- Dry extraction pass to speed up drying time
- Island-wide service, no transport fee inside SG
- Free written quote in minutes on WhatsApp
Not included
- Stain warranty for set-in stains older than 6 months
- Re-dyeing or restoration of faded leather (separate service)
- Repair of structural damage (springs, frame, stitching)
- Pest control – we're cleaners, not exterminators
- Jobs under S$50 total – S$50 minimum applies
Minimum job fee is S$50. If your booked items total less than that, you still pay S$50 – it covers travel and setup of the extraction equipment. The simplest way around it is to bundle, or add a single item like a mattress or pet bed to bring the total above S$50.
