Check fabric and condition
Look for the maker's care label and note fibre, dye, backing, age, fading, damage and previous treatments. Share photographs and describe the stain or odour. If the label is missing or the fabric is delicate, ask an upholstery specialist before applying moisture or heat.
Look for signs that a clean may help
Visible soil, a recent spill or dull appearance may justify an assessment. Dust, odour, mould-like growth, pests or water damage can have other causes and may need separate specialist evaluation.
Ask about method and drying
Confirm which parts of the sofa are included, how moisture and products suit the fabric, and how long drying may take. Keep children and pets away during treatment and follow preparation instructions. Do not use a generic steam or chemical method on an unknown material.
