Sofa Cleaning Dublin Prices (2026)

Sofa cleaning Dublin prices depend mostly on the number of seats, then on fabric, condition and whether other items are cleaned in the same visit. Very few Dublin upholstery companies publish a price list, so most people only see a figure after sending photos. The ranges below come from Bark’s 2026 Irish survey, published Dublin price lists and our own prices.

How much does sofa cleaning cost in Dublin by size?

A two-seat sofa costs about €50 to €80 to clean in Dublin, and a three-seater about €70 to €110. Those are Bark’s 2026 upholstery figures, VAT included. A corner or L-shaped sofa runs €100 to €180 or more, and an armchair €30 to €50.

The seat count is a shorthand for cushion area. A deep three-seater with scatter cushions and a chaise end can take as long as a small corner unit. Our upholstery cleaning service in Dublin prices from the seat count and confirms the figure from photos of the fabric and any stains.

What do Dublin upholstery cleaners publish?

Published Dublin sofa prices start at about €50 to €69, and most companies only quote after seeing photos. Best in Ireland’s June 2026 roundup of Dublin carpet cleaners found just one with a full upholstery list. Not one of those sofa price pages mentions VAT.

CarpetsClean.ie lists fabric and leather sofas from €69 and mattresses from €59. Its most popular offer is any three items, such as a sofa, a mattress and a carpet, for €150. That works out at €50 an item, which is below most single-item prices.

RH Carpet Cleaning’s list in the same roundup runs from €35 for an armchair to €120 for a seven-seat sofa. An older Best in Ireland upholstery roundup, from January 2024, estimated €103 for a three-seat and two-seat set and €124 for an L-shaped sofa. Treat the 2024 figures as a floor, because labour costs have risen since.

Does fabric type change sofa cleaning prices in Dublin?

Fabric changes the method more than the price, but the method can add time. The cleaning code on the sofa tag tells the cleaner what is safe. According to furniture retailer Living Spaces, W means water-based cleaning, S means solvent or dry cleaning agents only, WS allows either, and X means vacuum only.

Velvet, chenille and linen blends need a gentle touch even when the code allows water. They can water-mark or lose their pile if over-wetted. Ask the company how it tests colour-fastness on a hidden area before cleaning the whole sofa.

If the tag is missing, say so when asking for a quote. A good cleaner will test a small area first, or treat the sofa as S-coded to be safe.

How much does leather sofa cleaning cost?

Leather sofas are usually quoted individually, starting around the same price as fabric. CarpetsClean.ie prices fabric and leather sofas from €69. Best in Ireland’s 2024 upholstery roundup estimated €150 for a full leather suite. The price includes cleaning and conditioning, not repair.

Leather is cleaned with products matched to its finish, then conditioned so it does not dry and crack. Hot water extraction is not used on leather. Scuffs, colour loss and cracks need a leather repair specialist, which is a different job and a different price.

Between cleans, blot spills with a dry cloth and follow the maker’s care sheet before trying any product. Our guide on how to clean a leather jacket covers the same do’s and don’ts for smaller leather items.

What makes a sofa cleaning quote go up?

Corner units, pet hair, set-in stains and delicate fabric add most to a basic seat-count price. A corner or L-shaped sofa sits at €100 to €180 or more in Bark’s table, roughly double a two-seater. Anything that slows the clean, from loose covers to cat hair, moves a quote towards the top of the range.

These are the common reasons a Dublin sofa quote rises:

• Size and shape: corner units, chaise ends and recliners have more surface and more seams.
• Loose cushions and scatter cushions: each one is cleaned on both sides.
• Pet hair and odour: hair has to come out before any wet cleaning starts.
• Set-in stains: red wine, ink, make-up and dye transfer may need several passes, and some never fully lift.
• Delicate or S-coded fabric: low-moisture methods take longer.
• Access: a top-floor apartment with no lift or no parking nearby adds carrying time.

Send photos of the whole sofa and close-ups of each stain when you ask for a price. That is the quickest way to a fixed figure without a visit.

Is it cheaper to clean the sofa with the carpets?

Yes, in most cases. Bark notes that sofas and mattresses can cost less when cleaned during the same visit, because the equipment is already on site. Package deals show the saving clearly: CarpetsClean.ie charges €150 for any three items, against €69 or more for a sofa alone.

The saving comes from the call-out. Bark says many carpet cleaners charge a minimum of €60 to €100 even for a small job. Adding a sofa to a carpet clean avoids paying that minimum twice.

If the carpets are due as well, our guide to carpet cleaning prices in Dublin sets out per-room and stairs figures. A sofa and mattress in one visit cost from €135 with us, at €75 for a two-seater and €60 for a mattress.

Do sofa cleaning prices include VAT?

Upholstery quotes vary on this, and the gap can be 13.5%. Revenue taxes cleaning and maintenance services at the reduced rate, currently 13.5%. Bark’s upholstery figures include VAT. None of the Dublin company price lists we checked said either way.

A €95 quote “plus VAT” from a registered company becomes about €108. An unregistered sole trader charges no VAT at all. Ask for the final total before you compare two quotes.

Our sofa and mattress prices are the amount you pay, with any VAT already inside them.

How to get an accurate sofa cleaning quote

Send the seat count, the fabric code from the tag, photos of the sofa and close-ups of any stains. Say whether there are pets in the home and which floor the room is on. With those details, most Dublin companies can give a fixed price before booking.

Plan for drying time. Keep the room warm and slightly ventilated, and keep pets off until the fabric is dry. A morning slot gives the sofa the rest of the day.

Short-let hosts often book sofa cleaning between guests, when stains are fresh and easier to lift. If you run a holiday let, a sofa clean can be quoted alongside your Airbnb cleaning changeovers, so it fits between bookings.
