What sofa cleaning costs in Nellore, seater by seater
The full rate card for sofa, carpet and mattress cleaning in Nellore, what each price includes, and how to work out a set that is not a standard size.
4 min read · Updated 19 August 2026
Sofa cleaning is priced by the size of the piece, not by the fabric or by how dirty it is. A 2-seater steam clean is ₹699, a 3-seater with deep steam and deodorising is ₹999, and a full L-shape set is ₹1,499. Carpets are charged by area at ₹12 per square foot, and a mattress clean with an anti-allergen treatment is ₹799.
That is the whole card for this service. The price you are quoted before the work starts is the price you pay, and nothing is collected in advance.
The rate card
| Job | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2-seater sofa | Steam clean, fabric or leather | ₹699 |
| 3-seater sofa | Deep steam plus deodorising | ₹999 |
| L-shape sofa | Full set, steam clean | ₹1,499 |
| Carpet | Hot-water extraction | ₹12 per sq ft |
| Mattress | Steam plus anti-allergen treatment | ₹799 |
Working out a set that is not on the list
Plenty of drawing rooms have a 3+1+1 arrangement, a diwan, or a bench that came with the dining set. Those are not single lines on the card, and the honest answer is that the price is built from the pieces you have and confirmed before anything is touched — not estimated on the phone and revised upwards on the day.
Carpets are the easiest to work out yourself. Measure the longest length and the widest width in feet, multiply them, and multiply by twelve. A 6 by 9 foot rug is 54 square feet, so ₹648. An 8 by 10 foot carpet is 80 square feet, so ₹960. You will arrive at the same number the technician does.
What is actually included in the price
For a sofa: a full dry vacuum including the crevices and under the cushions, spot treatment on the individual stains you point out, the main clean by the method the fabric needs, extra dry extraction passes to pull the moisture back out, grooming of the pile, and drying set up before the technician leaves. The 3-seater rate includes deodorising, which treats the source of a smell in the padding rather than covering it.
For a carpet: pre-vacuum, spot treatment, pre-spray, extraction, dry passes and pile grooming.
For a mattress: surface and seam vacuum, spot treatment, extraction and the anti-allergen treatment across the surface.
When the price can change, and how you find out
Two situations genuinely change the work. One is a fabric that turns out to need a different method than expected — a velvet or viscose that cannot take water. The other is contamination that has gone into the foam rather than sitting on the fabric, usually a pet accident or long-standing damp, which needs treating into the padding.
In both cases, you are told what is involved and what it costs before the work continues. Nothing is added to the bill afterwards.
Is it worth it against replacing the sofa?
Work it out against what the alternative costs. Reupholstering a 3-seater — new fabric, foam and labour — costs many times what a clean does, and a new set costs far more again. Two cleans a year on a 3-seater is a small fraction of either, and it is the thing that stops the fabric wearing through at the seat — because in a dusty district it is embedded grit, not use, that cuts the fibres from the inside.
Where cleaning is not worth the money is when the frame is broken, the foam has collapsed or crumbles when pressed, or the fabric has already worn through. A clean does not restore structure. It cleans what is there.
Getting the most out of the booking
Book a morning slot so the piece has the full day to dry, which matters most between October and December. Clear a couple of feet of space around the sofa and take off the throws and cushion covers before the team arrives. Point out every stain and say what caused it — pre-treatment is chosen by cause, and a technician cannot always tell tea from oil by looking at a dried mark.
If you are unsure whether cleaning will fix your particular problem — a smell that will not go, a stain that keeps returning, mould after the rains — say so when you book, so the right method and the right treatment are planned rather than improvised in your drawing room.
Questions people ask
- Do I pay anything before the technician starts?
- No. You get a written quote before any work begins and you pay after the job is done. If the technician finds something that changes the scope — a fabric that needs a different method, or contamination in the padding — the revised price is confirmed with you first rather than added at the end.
- Is the price different for leather and for fabric?
- No. Sofa cleaning is priced by the size of the piece, not the material, so a 2-seater is ₹699 whether it is cotton, microfibre or leather. What changes is the method: fabric gets extraction or a dry clean depending on the weave, and leather gets a surface clean and conditioning.
- Is it cheaper to clean everything in one visit?
- The rates themselves are fixed per item, so the sofa costs the same either way. What you save is the disruption — one room cleared, one drying period, one afternoon planned around it rather than two. Most homes book the sofa and the carpet in the same room together for that reason.
