The festive season is a time for gathering, celebrating and sharing meals with the people you love. But with all the Christmas lunches, end-of-year dinners and summer entertaining, your furniture often takes the biggest hit. Spills, food marks, sweat, sunscreen, and everyday grime can quickly build up on fabric upholstery, leaving your chairs looking dull, stained or feeling less than fresh.
That’s why December is the perfect time to give your furniture a professional clean. The Fabric Doctor offers expert fabric cleaning and protection services designed to restore your upholstery, remove stubborn stains and make your home guest-ready for the holidays.
Holiday Entertaining = Extra Wear on Your Furniture
Your furniture works overtime in December. With more people visiting, more meals being served, and longer gatherings around the table, the fabric on your chairs is exposed to:
- Food and drink spills
- Greasy fingerprints and sauces
- Sweat, sunscreen and residue from summer activities
- Pet hair and odours
- High foot traffic and repeated use
All of these contribute to fabric staining, discolouration and trapped smells, issues that store-bought cleaners rarely fix properly (and can often make worse). Our team specialises in professional upholstery restoration for household furniture, ensuring your furniture stays in top condition.
Why Professional Cleaning Makes a Difference
Fabric upholstery is not as simple as it looks. Different fabric types require different cleaning techniques, and using the wrong products can cause:
- Water marks
- Bleaching or fading
- Fabric shrinkage
- Set-in stains
- Damage to the inner foam or structure
Our experienced Fabric Doctor technicians use advanced cleaning processes and professional-grade equipment designed specifically for upholstery. We deep clean the fibres, remove contaminants and bring back the vibrancy and comfort of your furniture, all without risking damage. Learn more about how we treat delicate materials through our fabric cleaning and protection services.

Professional cleaning provides:
- Thorough stain and odour removal
- Deep sanitisation to remove bacteria, oils and allergens
- Fabric-safe cleaning solutions tailored to your chair’s material
- Improved appearance for holiday entertaining
- A fresher, cleaner home environment
Perfect Timing for a Holiday Refresh
With guests sitting for long meals, celebrations and family gatherings, your sofa becomes a focal point of your home during the festive season. Clean, fresh and stain-free fabric makes a noticeable difference in the overall presentation of your living room.

- Extends the life of your upholstery
- Removes hidden dirt trapped deep in the fibres
- Helps create a welcoming space for guests
If your home features leather dining chairs as well, we also offer professional leather and vinyl cleaning.
