Summer entertaining, warmer temperatures and more time spent at home can quietly take a toll on fabric furniture. Sofas, armchairs and upholstered seating absorb sweat, spills, odours and everyday use throughout December, often without obvious signs until routines return in January.
That’s why January is the ideal time to refresh your upholstery. Professional fabric cleaning removes summer buildup, restores freshness and helps prevent long-term damage.
At The Fabric Doctor, we provide expert fabric upholstery cleaning services designed to deep clean, sanitise and protect fabric furniture during the warmer months.
How Summer Affects Fabric Upholstery
Fabric absorbs more than most people realise, especially during summer. Common issues include:
- Sweat, body oils and sunscreen settling into fibres
- Food and drink spills from entertaining
- Odours trapped by humidity
- Flattened or dull-looking fabric
- Increased allergens from open windows and pets
Without professional treatment, these issues can linger and worsen over time.
Why January Is the Right Time to Clean
Summer-related fabric wear builds gradually. A professional clean in January helps remove deep-set dirt and restore the appearance and hygiene of your furniture before damage becomes harder to reverse.
Our services include:
- Deep fabric cleaning
- Stain and odour removal
- Sanitisation to reduce allergens and bacteria
- Optional protection treatments
