After a busy summer filled with entertaining, visitors and time spent at home, many New Zealand households notice something once January settles in, fabric furniture that no longer feels as fresh as it should. Even when stains aren’t obvious, odours and hidden buildup can remain trapped deep within upholstery.
Fabric sofas, armchairs and dining seating absorb sweat, food smells, body oils and humidity throughout the festive season. Professional cleaning is the most effective way to remove what everyday surface cleaning can’t reach.
At The Fabric Doctor, we provide specialist fabric upholstery cleaning services designed to deep clean, sanitise and refresh your furniture for the year ahead.
Why Summer Odours Linger in Fabric Furniture
Fabric fibres naturally absorb moisture and airborne particles, especially during warmer months. Over the summer, upholstery can trap:
- Food and drink odours from entertaining
- Sweat and body oils
- Pet smells
- Moisture from humidity
- Bacteria and allergens
Even when furniture looks clean, these trapped contaminants can affect comfort, hygiene and indoor air quality.
Professional Fabric Cleaning Makes the Difference
Professional fabric cleaning targets odours at their source, not just on the surface. Our trained technicians use fabric-safe processes and professional equipment to lift dirt, bacteria and smells from deep within the fibres.
Our services include:
- Deep fabric upholstery cleaning
- Odour and stain removal
- Sanitisation to reduce bacteria and allergens
- Optional protection treatments to help prevent future issues
