After weeks of summer entertaining, guests, pets and long days at home, many Australian households notice one thing once January settles in, fabric furniture that doesn’t feel as fresh as it should. Even when stains aren’t obvious, odours and hidden buildup can linger deep within upholstery.
Fabric sofas, armchairs and dining chairs absorb sweat, food smells, body oils and humidity throughout the holiday season. Professional cleaning is the most effective way to remove what regular surface cleaning can’t reach.
At The Fabric Doctor, we offer specialist fabric upholstery cleaning services designed to deeply clean, sanitise and refresh your furniture for the year ahead.
Why Fabric Holds Odours After Summer
Fabric fibres act like a sponge, especially during warm weather. Over time, upholstery can trap:
- Food and drink smells from entertaining
- Sweat and body oils
- Pet odours
- Moisture from humidity
- Bacteria and allergens
Even when furniture looks clean, these issues can affect comfort, hygiene and indoor air quality.
Professional Fabric Cleaning Goes Deeper
A professional fabric cleaning removes odours at the source, not just on the surface. Our trained technicians use fabric-safe methods and professional equipment to lift contaminants from deep within the fibres.
Our services include:
- Deep fabric cleaning
- Odour and stain removal
- Sanitisation to reduce bacteria and allergens
- Optional protection treatments to help prevent future issues
