Sonic Couch Cleaning Services

Fabric Protection

Fabric protection is applied after cleaning, on fabrics where it is suitable. It is an optional add-on, and we confirm suitability for your fabric before applying it.

Sonic Couch Cleaning Services provides fabric protection across Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, with the method matched to your fabric rather than a single approach applied to everything.

Fabrics we clean

We check the manufacturer's care label before choosing a method — not every fabric can be cleaned the same way.

Linen

Linen

A natural fibre that's sensitive to moisture — we use a lower-moisture approach to avoid water marking or browning.

Cotton

Cotton

Handles water-based cleaning well, though care is taken to avoid oversaturating the fabric.

Velvet

Velvet

A pile fabric that needs careful grooming during and after cleaning to keep its texture and direction.

Microfibre

Microfibre

A synthetic fabric that generally handles cleaning well and dries quickly.

Polyester

Polyester

A durable synthetic fabric that responds well to most cleaning methods.

Blends

Mixed-fibre fabrics are assessed as a whole — the care label guides the method, not just one fibre in the mix.

Leather

Leather

Cleaned and, where suitable, conditioned using products matched to the specific leather finish.

Care labels are usually marked W (water-based cleaner), S (solvent cleaner), WS (either), or X (vacuum or light brushing only). We check this during inspection so we don't apply a method that isn't suited to your fabric.

Methods we use

We'll confirm which method suits your item — these aren't interchangeable across every fabric.

Fabric Protection Application

A protective treatment applied after cleaning, on fabrics where it is suitable.

Leather Cleaning & Conditioning

Cleaning suited to the leather finish, followed by conditioning where appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about fabric protection.

Will the stain come out completely?

We can't promise a specific result. What comes out depends on the fabric, how old the stain is, its condition, and any prior treatment. We'll give you an honest assessment before starting.

How do you decide which cleaning method to use?

We inspect the fabric and check the manufacturer's care code (W, S, WS or X) where one exists, then choose a method suited to that fabric — hot-water extraction, steam cleaning, low-moisture cleaning or a solvent-based approach.

Is steam cleaning the same as hot-water extraction?

Not exactly. Steam cleaning uses steam vapour, while hot-water extraction applies a solution and water then extracts it back out with the soil. Both are used across our services depending on the fabric.

Do you clean leather?

Yes. Leather is cleaned and, where suitable, conditioned using products matched to the leather finish rather than fabric cleaning products.
