- Sofa 2-seater: usually 150–200 CHF
- Sofa 3-seater: usually 180–250 CHF

💡 Buy a new couch or have the existing sofa cleaned?
For high-quality sofas, professional cleaning is often far more worthwhile than an early replacement. A deep clean usually costs less than 10% of the price of a comparable new sofa — and adds several years of use. More on this in our DIY-vs-pro analysis.

Why does the same cleaning cost 150 CHF one time and 350 CHF another?
One of the most common questions: why does the price for a seemingly identical sofa vary so much? The answer: not every sofa needs the same effort. Size, material, odour, stains, pets or delicate fabrics can change the cleaning effort significantly. A quick rule of thumb:
- Small, fresh stain on robust woven fabric → cheapest range (often minimum price)
- Urine or odour problem with enzyme pre-treatment → moderate surcharge (+30–80 CHF)
- Delicate fabrics such as velour, suede or antique covers → special treatment with a small surcharge
- Large corner sofa or sectional → longer cleaning time, more material, upper price range
- Several problems combined (pet urine + velour + old sofa) → individual calculation, often in the 350 CHF range
In short: a 2-seater with a fresh coffee stain costs something quite different from a 3-seater velour sofa where the cat has been marking for months. This is why a photo assessment before the quote is fair for both sides — the price reflects the actual effort instead of a flat rate that disadvantages either you or us.
Upholstery cleaning Switzerland cost: which factors influence the price?
The price of a professional upholstery cleaning is not a flat fee but depends on several concrete factors. Anyone who knows them can better assess the price of a quote and avoid unnecessary extra costs.
1. Size and shape of the furniture
A 2-seater sofa costs less than a 3-seater or a corner sofa. For modular suites or large sectionals, the effort increases with each additional seat. Double-sided cleaning (front and back of the cushions) also affects the price.
2. Material of the cover
Standard woven fabrics are the easiest — and therefore the cheapest — to clean. Microfibre and velour require special care, as the fibre direction changes easily. Real and synthetic leather are treated with special care products — here surcharges of 20–50 CHF can apply. Tips on material care can also be found in the Stiftung Warentest guide.
3. Degree of soiling
Routine care is cheaper than removing stubborn stains. Pet urine, mould, blood, wine or ingrained dirt require additional pre-treatment and dwell time. In such cases, surcharges of 30–80 CHF per item are realistic.
4. Travel and location
Many cleaning companies in Switzerland charge travel costs beyond a certain distance or outside their main area. When you get a quote, check whether travel is included. Just Clean KLG regularly works in the cantons of Zürich, Zug, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Basel, Bern, Solothurn, Aargau, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Schwyz — travel within these regions is usually included in the minimum price; for very remote addresses a moderate surcharge may apply, communicated transparently in advance.
5. Additional services
Optional services that increase the price:
- Textile-protection impregnation: from 15 CHF per seat
- Allergy treatment with bio cleaning agents: often included in the standard price, a surcharge at some providers (more on household allergy triggers at the Swiss Allergy Centre aha!)
- Fast drying service: from 30 CHF
Why prices in Switzerland vary so much
Many customers wonder: why does one provider quote 120 CHF and another 350 CHF for a seemingly identical sofa? The answer almost always lies in what is actually included in the price — and what is not. The typical differences:
- Provider A — surface cleaning only: quick shampooing or brushing without deep extraction. Looks clean in the short term, but allergens and deep-seated dirt largely remain in the upholstery. Cheap, but limited effect.
- Provider B — deep cleaning with extraction: a fibre-friendly machine flushes the upholstery and vacuums out dirt, allergens and cleaning residues. Including stain pre-treatment and, if necessary, enzyme treatment for odour problems. Higher investment, far more lasting result.
- Travel included or separate: some providers advertise low unit prices but add 40–80 CHF travel. Others include travel in the minimum price — which looks more expensive at first but is often cheaper overall.
- Material and risk surcharge: delicate fabrics (velour, suede, antique covers) require more care and special agents. Reputable providers say so in advance and name the surcharge transparently; cheap providers ignore the risk — and the fabric suffers.
- Cleaning agents: bio cleaners and allergy-friendly products are more expensive to buy but harmless to health. Some discount providers save exactly here.
In short: if a price is well below the market average, a component is almost always missing — deep extraction, travel, stain pre-treatment or material protection. In an honest quote, all these points should be clearly listed.
Fixed-price quote or hourly rate — what is common?
In Switzerland, cleaning services work either with a binding fixed-price quote after assessment (per piece of furniture, based on photo and material details) or with hourly rates (typically 60–95 CHF per hour).
A fixed-price quote after assessment creates clarity before the cleaning starts — the price is then binding and includes the work expected for the respective furniture. Hourly rates can be cheaper for lightly soiled, quick-to-clean furniture but carry the risk of unexpected extra costs if the cleaning turns out to be more demanding.
Practical recommendation: anyone who values planning certainty should choose a provider that sends a concrete quote after a photo assessment. The cleaning time depends heavily on the furniture type and degree of soiling and typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours per sofa.
How to avoid hidden costs
The most common annoyances with cleaning quotes can be prevented with five steps:
- Request a written quote. A reputable cleaning company sends a detailed quote by email or WhatsApp after a photo assessment — with all items, the binding price and payment terms.
- Clarify travel costs in advance. Ask explicitly: «Are travel and material included?» Many providers only charge travel costs after booking.
- Send photos in advance. Send pictures of your sofa or mattress beforehand. This lets the provider assess the degree of soiling and name a binding price — without a photo, any price is only a rough estimate.
- Clarify the cleaning method. Ask about the procedure (e.g. extraction method, dry cleaning) and whether the agents used are allergy-friendly and material-safe.
- Compare several quotes. Get 2–3 quotes — but do not look only at the price; also consider reviews, experience and the technical explanation of the approach.

Frequently asked questions about upholstery cleaning prices in Switzerland
How much does a sofa cleaning cost in Switzerland?
Typical 2026 market prices: 2-seater 150–200 CHF, 3-seater 180–250 CHF, corner sofa 250–400 CHF. Surcharges of 30–80 CHF apply for heavy soiling, pet urine or delicate fabrics. At Just Clean KLG, sofa cleaning starts from 150 CHF — the binding price is confirmed after a photo assessment.
Why does a corner sofa cost more than a normal sofa?
A corner sofa has 25–60% more seating and upholstery surface than a classic 3-seater and accordingly requires more cleaning time, water and cleaning agents. With L- or U-shapes, additional upholstery elements, a chaise or a sleep function often need to be factored in. Realistic price range: 250–400 CHF, depending on size, material and soiling.
Is travel included?
At Just Clean KLG, travel within the served cantons (Zürich, Zug, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Basel, Bern, Solothurn, Aargau, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Schwyz) is usually included in the minimum price. For very remote addresses a moderate surcharge may apply — but it is communicated transparently before the appointment, not only on the invoice.
Is upholstery cleaning worth it at all — or better buy a new sofa?
The honest answer depends on the sofa:
- Cheap, older sofa (residual value under about 300 CHF) — a professional cleaning of 180+ CHF is sometimes not worthwhile here; a new purchase can be the better choice.
- High-quality sofa (2'000–6'000 CHF, designer or brand pieces) — cleaning is almost always far cheaper than an early replacement and extends the lifespan by years.
- Odour or stubborn stains (especially pet urine) — often salvageable with deep extraction and enzyme treatment; a new purchase is rarely necessary here as long as the damage is not yet in the wooden frame.
When in doubt: send a photo via WhatsApp — we tell you honestly before the appointment whether cleaning makes economic sense for your exact sofa or not.
How much does removing urine odour from a sofa cost?
Removing pet-urine odour requires deep extraction with enzyme pre-treatment, because the odour molecules can penetrate into the foam core. Typical surcharges on standard sofa cleaning: 30–80 CHF, depending on the age and depth of the incident. For very old or repeated urine stains (especially cat urine) we tell you honestly before the appointment how realistic complete odour removal is. More in our guide Removing pet urine from the sofa.
How long does a professional sofa cleaning take?
The duration is always individual and depends on size, material and degree of soiling. As a rough guide, 1 to 3 hours per sofa is realistic. Afterwards the furniture needs a drying time of about 8 to 10 hours at normal room temperature and with good ventilation before it can be fully used again.
Which cleaning agents are used?
Professional providers mostly rely on biodegradable, allergy-friendly products. At Just Clean KLG we use certified bio cleaners that are safe for households with children and pets.
Can I book an appointment at short notice?
Yes. Many providers — Just Clean included — offer appointments within 1–3 working days. For acute emergencies (pet urine, vomit) same-day appointments are often possible.
Is there a guarantee that every stain will be removed?
No — and reputable providers will tell you so honestly. No one in the industry can guarantee that every kind of soiling is fully removed. The result depends on the type, age and depth of the soiling, on the material and on whether it was previously treated improperly (e.g. with aggressive home remedies). At Just Clean KLG we work with professional methods and fibre-friendly agents, but assess each case realistically before accepting the job: if a stain is not or only partially removable, we say so openly before we start.
Which regions does Just Clean KLG cover?
We clean upholstered furniture and mattresses on site in the cantons of Zürich, Zug, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Basel, Bern, Solothurn, Aargau, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Schwyz. For every specific address we create a binding quote after a photo assessment — with no surprises on site.
Conclusion: transparency instead of blanket promises
Upholstery cleaning in Switzerland is not a cheap service — but done professionally, it extends the lifespan of your furniture by years and ensures a hygienic living environment. Anyone who looks for transparent minimum prices, an honest quote after a photo assessment and a realistic assessment of the cleaning chances avoids both surprises on the invoice and disappointed expectations with the result.
