Chair cleaning starts at £33 for an armchair, £13 for a fabric dining chair and £10 for an office chair. Each chair is cleaned in your home, and a settee is priced like a sofa, by its seats.
Chairs are priced one at a time, so a quote is mostly a matter of counting. A one-off booking starts at £67. That is why a set of dining chairs or a lone armchair often goes on the same visit as a sofa, a rug or the carpet underneath.
Chair prices, item by item
| Chair | Price each |
|---|---|
| Fabric armchair, wing chair or tub chair | £33 |
| Dining chair, fabric seat or seat and back | £13 |
| Office or desk chair | £10 |
| Settee, first two seats | £57 |
| Settee, each further seat | £26 |
| Protector on a chair seat | £13 |
Leather chairs, swivel chairs, chaise longues and chairs with a matching footstool are priced on the call. Count the chairs in each room before you ring, including spare ones pushed against a wall, and the quote will match the visit. The full list for every room is on the prices page.
Sets of dining chairs
Dining chairs take more spills than any other seat in the house, mostly food dropped at the table and the odd glass of red. Most have a drop-in seat pad or a fabric seat stapled to the frame, and some have a padded back as well. The per-chair price covers seat and back together.
The cleaner works chair by chair, keeping the wooden or metal frame dry, then stands the chairs a little apart so air can get round each seat. For a quote, tell us how many chairs there are and whether the backs are fabric. Sets of six or eight are the usual size, and a pale fabric on a family dining table is where a protector at £13 a seat makes most sense.
Armchairs, wing chairs and recliners
A standard armchair, a tub chair and a wing chair are normally charged at £33. A wing chair has a lot of fabric on its high back and side wings, and dirt collects in the joins where the wings meet the arms, so that is where the cleaner spends extra time.
A single recliner is usually the armchair price too. The cleaner opens it to reach the fabric on the footrest and in the folds, then closes it again, and keeps moisture away from the mechanism underneath. Unplug a power recliner before the visit. A recliner sofa is counted by seats, as set out on the sofa cleaning page.
Settees, priced as sofas
Settee is simply another word for a sofa, and the price works the same way: £57 for two seats and £26 for each seat after that. Older settees and fireside chairs need a closer look. Faded cotton, arms worn through to the stuffing and fabric gone thin at the front edge can all tear when wet, and the cleaner will check these before starting. Some old covers are best left alone, and the cleaner will say if yours is one. The fabric checks are explained on the upholstery cleaning page.
Office chairs, at home or at work
Office chairs are £10 each, seat and back. The usual problem is a dark band along the front edge of the seat and grime on fabric armrests, plus coffee spills under the desk. A few chairs in a home office are booked like any other job. For a whole office, meeting rooms or a reception area with sofas, the price is set on a call, often with the carpets; see office carpet and upholstery cleaning. Visits run between 8am and 7pm, seven days a week.
Questions about chair cleaning
Can I book just one armchair?
Yes, though a visit has a £67 minimum, so a single armchair is often paired with a footstool, a rug or a few dining chairs to make better use of the visit.
How long before the chairs can be used?
Chairs need a few hours to dry. Dining chairs with thin seat pads tend to be ready first, and deep armchair cushions last; fresh air or a warm room helps.
Are dining chair seat pads taken away for cleaning?
No. Seat pads and covers are cleaned at your home on the chairs, and nothing is collected.
