Upholstery cleaning in New York starts at $99 per visit, and what you pay from there depends on the item, its size and its condition. This is the full price guide across everything upholstered — sofas, mattresses, carpets, chairs, leather — with what should be included and how bundles change the math.
Price by item (typical NYC ranges)
- Sofas: loveseat $99–120, 3-seater $120–160, sleeper $140–180, sectional $180–260 — full detail in the sofa price guide
- Mattresses: twin/crib from $99, queen $110–140, king $130–170; both sides or sanitizing adds to it — see mattress pricing
- Carpets and rugs: from $99; area rugs by size and fiber (wool costs more than synthetic), wall-to-wall by rooms — carpet cleaning
- Dining chairs and stools: priced per set — six chairs in one visit cost far less per chair than two; chair cleaning
- Leather furniture: armchair $80–120, sofa $130–200, cleaning plus conditioning included — leather service
- Add-on treatments: pet urine enzyme work priced by soaked area (details); fabric protector optional
What the price must include
Inspection and fabric test, vacuuming, stain pre-treatment, hot-water extraction (or the fabric-correct low-moisture method), deodorizing. A quote that itemizes these as extras is the same price cut into pieces — the bait behind “$49” ads that end at $250 on site.
What moves the number up or down
- Size — the honest main factor for every item type
- Fabric — delicate fibers (velvet, linen, wool) take slower methods
- Condition — yearly-maintained pieces are standard jobs; five-year rescues with pet history take more product and passes
- Bundling — one visit, one setup: sofa + mattress + rug together beats three visits by roughly a third

Pricing FAQ
Why do quotes differ so much between companies?
Different things included. Compare what the number covers — extraction, pre-treatment, deodorizing — not the headline figure.
Is it cheaper to rent a machine?
A rental runs $40–60 plus solutions, cleans shallower, and over-wets padding more often than not. For one small rug, maybe; for a sofa or mattress the result difference is why the service exists.
Do prices change seasonally?
Rates stay the same; availability changes. Spring and pre-holiday weekends book out — see the spring checklist for timing logic.
