Is your furniture looking tired, stained, or smelling less than fresh? Your upholstered furniture represents a significant investment in your home’s comfort and appearance, but daily life can take its toll. From pet accidents and spilled drinks to accumulated dust and everyday wear, your sofas, chairs, and other upholstered pieces face constant challenges that regular vacuuming simply can’t address.
At Harper Carpet Care, we understand how frustrating it can be when your once-beautiful furniture no longer looks or feels clean. That’s why we’ve been helping Austin, TX homeowners restore their upholstery to like-new condition for over 27 years. Our proven hot water extraction method combined with premium Dupont Teflon protection ensures your furniture not only gets thoroughly clean but stays protected against future stains and soiling.
Upholstery Cleaning by Harper Carpet Care
Harper Carpet Care’s professional upholstery cleaning service brings new life to your furniture using the same trusted methods that have earned us hundreds of five-star reviews across Austin and surrounding communities. Our IICRC-certified cleaning process combines advanced hot water extraction technology with specialized cleaning solutions designed specifically for different fabric types.
Unlike surface-level cleaning methods, our deep cleaning approach penetrates fabric fibers to remove embedded dirt, allergens, and contaminants that accumulate over time. We then apply Dupont Teflon fabric protection to help your furniture resist future stains and maintain that fresh, clean appearance longer.
Every upholstery cleaning job is personally overseen by owner Harley Harper, ensuring the same level of quality and attention to detail that has made us Austin’s trusted choice for professional cleaning services since 1997.
Common Upholstery Problems We Solve
Stubborn Stains and Spills
Coffee rings, wine stains, food spills, and mystery marks that seem impossible to remove can make your furniture look permanently damaged. These tough stains often set deep into fabric fibers, becoming more difficult to remove over time and requiring professional cleaning expertise.
Pet-Related Issues
Pet hair, urine odor, muddy paw prints, and that persistent “pet smell” can make your furniture uninviting to guests and uncomfortable for your family. These problems often require specialized treatment and professional cleaning solutions to fully eliminate.
Accumulated Dirt and Contaminants
Daily use leads to a buildup of body oils, dead skin cells, dust, and general grime that makes fabric look dull and feel unclean. This accumulation can also contribute to indoor air quality issues and trigger allergens in sensitive family members.
Unpleasant Odors
Cooking smells, smoke, pet odor, and general mustiness can become trapped in upholstery fabric, creating an uncomfortable living environment that air fresheners can’t truly address. Professional cleaning is needed to eliminate these odors at their source.
Allergen Buildup
Dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens collect in upholstery over time, potentially triggering respiratory issues and making your home less healthy for sensitive family members.
Our Proven Upholstery Cleaning Process
Step 1: Thorough Inspection and Assessment
Harley Harper personally examines your furniture to identify fabric type, problem areas, and any special care requirements. We discuss your specific concerns and explain our recommended cleaning method for your upholstery.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment Application
We apply specialized pre-treatment solutions to break down stubborn stains and embedded dirt. Different fabric types receive customized treatment to ensure safe and effective cleaning.
Step 3: Hot Water Extraction Cleaning
Using professional-grade equipment, we inject heated cleaning solution deep into fabric fibers, then immediately extract it along with dissolved dirt, allergens, and contaminants. This steam cleaning process is gentle on fabrics but tough on grime.
Step 4: Spot Treatment for Stubborn Areas
Any remaining problem spots receive additional attention with specialized cleaning techniques and solutions designed for specific stain types and fabric cleaning needs.
Step 5: Dupont Teflon Protection Application
We apply premium Dupont Teflon fabric protection to help your furniture resist future stains and spills, making maintenance easier and extending the life of your investment.
Step 6: Final Inspection and Drying Setup
We review the completed work with you, position fans if needed to accelerate drying, and provide care instructions to help maintain your newly cleaned furniture.

Benefits of Professional Upholstery Cleaning
Extends Furniture Lifespan
Regular professional cleaning removes abrasive dirt and oils that break down fabric fibers over time, helping your furniture investment last years longer than without proper cleaning.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Removing embedded allergens, dust mites, and contaminants from upholstery contributes to cleaner, healthier indoor air for your family. Professional cleaning helps eliminate these hidden pollutants.
Eliminates Odors at the Source
Our deep cleaning process reaches odor-causing bacteria and residues that surface cleaning and air fresheners can’t address. This thorough cleaning ensures complete odor removal.
Restores Original Appearance
Professional cleaning brings back the vibrant colors and soft texture your furniture had when new, making your entire room look refreshed. The best cleaning results come from professional service.
Protects Against Future Damage
Dupont Teflon protection creates a barrier against spills and stains, giving you time to clean up accidents before they become permanent problems. This protection extends the time between professional cleanings.
Saves Money Long-Term
Professional maintenance costs far less than premature furniture replacement and helps you avoid costly reupholstering projects. Regular cleaning service is a smart investment.
