If you have already started researching at-home sofa cleaning services, you are probably at the stage of finding out and comparing prices. We know this is always a deciding factor, but it varies depending on the characteristics of your sofa and, of course, the company or individuals providing the service.
In this article, we will present the main factors that influence the price, the advantages of opting for professional cleaning, and, of course, the market prices in Portugal.
What Influences the Price of At-Home Sofa Cleaning?
It’s likely you’ve noticed that prices vary considerably, and the truth is there isn’t a fixed price. The reason is quite simple — an armchair won’t cost the same as a three-seater sofa, and that’s just one example among many other possible scenarios.
Additionally, the market is increasingly “flooded with amateurs” who lack the necessary equipment, don’t offer guarantees, and don’t have the required qualifications compared to companies with years of experience. These are what’s commonly called “quick fixes.”
Below, we outline the main factors:
Sofa Size
This is the main factor affecting the price. Large sofas, such as 4-seaters with a chaise longue, require more time and cleaning products, which increases the cost. Medium-sized sofas, like 3-seaters, or smaller ones, such as armchairs, are generally more affordable, although specific dimensions can also have an impact.
Type of Sofa
The shape of the sofa also influences the price. A straight sofa is less labour-intensive to clean and therefore more economical. Models like corner sofas, chaise longues, or sofa beds require more time and care, which can increase the cost of the service.
Sofa Material
Fabrics such as cotton, linen, and velvet require special care and specific products, which can make the service more expensive. Materials like polyester or suede are usually easier to clean. In the case of leather, although it is durable, it requires its own cleaning process, which can also affect the cost.
Advantages of Professional Sofa Cleaning
While home methods offer superficial and temporary solutions, professional cleaning provides a complete transformation of your sofa along with a guarantee.
What sets professional service apart?
✓ Deep hygiene
Home or amateur cleaning often fails to eliminate mites and bacteria. Professional cleaning goes beyond the surface and removes all ingrained dirt.
✓ Tough stains
Coffee, grease, marker pen stains? With the right products and techniques, professional cleaning removes the most challenging stains without damaging the fabric.
✓ Comfort and convenience
Biomex carries out the service directly at your home, hassle-free, with no need to travel, and delivers visible results on the same day.
✓ Long-term savings
Proper care extends your sofa’s lifespan. Professional cleaning can restore your sofa’s original appearance and may even prevent future expenses on replacements or repairs.
✓ 10-Year Warranty
At Biomex, we guarantee visible and long-lasting results. That’s why we offer a 10-year warranty on our cleaning services, ensuring that the work meets the highest standards of hygiene and care for your sofa.
But after all, what is the price?
As we have seen earlier, the price of at-home sofa cleaning depends on various factors such as the quality of the service, the guarantee, the size, the type, and the condition of the fabric. To help give you a rough idea, we have provided below an average of the prices typically charged:
| Type of Sofa | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Armchairs | Between 80€ and 120€ |
| 2/3 Seater Sofas | From 130€ to 155€ |

How to keep your sofa clean for longer?
After cleaning, protection and maintenance are key. With a few simple habits, your sofa can stay immaculate for much longer. Here are our practical tips:
✓ Maintenance routine
Vacuum weekly to remove dust and loose debris, wipe with a damp cloth when needed, and if your sofa has loose cushions, turn them regularly to prevent deformation and uneven wear.
✓ Clean stains immediately
Don’t leave it for later! Whenever a spill occurs, it should be treated straight away to prevent the stain from setting in.
✓ Sunlight exposure
Direct sunlight can fade and weaken fabrics over time. Whenever possible, keep your sofa in well-ventilated areas but avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
✓ Waterproofing the sofa
Waterproofing is the icing on the cake. If you want to prevent liquids, dirt, or stains from penetrating the fabric, this treatment is your best ally. It creates an invisible protective barrier that makes everyday cleaning easier and extends the sofa’s lifespan.
