Sofa steam cleaning in Jeddah starts from SAR 84 for a small sofa and from SAR 138 for a 4-piece set, with the price changing by number of pieces, fabric type and how many stains there are. Here are the starting prices:

How much does sofa cleaning cost in Jeddah? What changes the price
The cost of sofa cleaning in Jeddah depends on the number of seats and pieces, the fabric type, how dirty it is, and any extras such as sanitising or treating old stains. That is why we ask for a photo before the appointment.
Pieces and seats
A three-seater is not the same job as an 8-piece corner set, and a majlis is priced by its length and number of cushions.
Fabric type
Velvet and chenille need less moisture and more care, leather has its own products, and ordinary fabric is quicker.
Condition
Old stains, ink, dye and urine odours need treatment before steaming and take longer.
Extras
Anti-dust-mite sanitising, freshening, or mattresses and carpets in the same visit.
A common question is whether the sofa is taken out of the house. It is not: we clean it where it stands and put covers underneath to protect the floor and rugs. Another is whether the colour will stay the same. We test the product on a hidden area first, and if the fabric shows any colour loss we change the method.
How does sofa steam cleaning work?
Sofa steam cleaning pushes hot water and a cleaning solution into the fabric fibres and immediately draws it back out with strong suction, taking with it the dust, grease and sweat built up in the padding. That instant extraction is the difference between a professional extraction machine and a home steamer that wets the fabric without pulling the water out.
The heat loosens grease and sticky dirt and helps reduce dust mites, bacteria and odours, while the strong suction cuts down the moisture left behind so the sofa dries faster and does not develop a damp smell. Because Jeddah’s air is already humid, suction power matters more to us than the amount of steam.
We adjust water temperature and the amount of solution to the fabric: tough fabrics can take higher heat and more extraction passes, while delicate ones get quick passes with less moisture. After each pass we extract again without water to pull out what is left in the padding, and that last step is what shortens drying time and prevents faded rings on the fabric.
Tip: If someone at home has a dust allergy, book sofas and mattresses together; dust mites live in both, and cleaning only one of them is not enough.
Why sofas get dirty faster in Jeddah
Sofas in Jeddah get dirty faster because high humidity makes dust stick to fabric, the heat makes people sweat more when sitting, and the salty sea air carries fine particles that settle in the fibres. That is why many people notice the armrests changing colour within a few months.
Air conditioners running most of the year also move dust around rooms, and part of it settles on sofas and mattresses. Humidity itself means a sofa cleaned the wrong way, with lots of water and no extraction, is prone to odour and mould. That is why we rely on strong extraction and direct the airflow after every wash.
Sanitising, odour removal and fabric protection
Sanitising is added after the steam wash to reduce bacteria, dust mites and odours, using fabric-safe products sprayed lightly that leave no residue. It is often requested in homes with children, elderly people or anyone with allergies.
Stubborn odours such as smoke, urine or old damp need treatment inside the padding, not just on the surface, because freshener alone masks a smell for a few hours before it returns. A protective coating after washing makes liquids bead on the surface for longer before soaking in, giving you time to blot them; its price depends on the number of pieces, so ask us by phone or WhatsApp.
Sofa and majlis steam cleaning services in Jeddah
In Jeddah we clean every upholstered seat and mattress inside the home. Here is what each service covers:
Fabric sofa cleaning
Fabric sofas are the most requested, and washing starts from SAR 84 for a small sofa. We begin with a dry vacuum to lift dust and crumbs from between the seats and under the cushions, then spray a solution suited to the fabric and leave it for a few minutes, then run the steam and extraction machine over the seats, back, armrests and sides, scrubbing the dirtiest spots with a soft brush.
We focus on the areas that get dirtiest: the headrest, where oil from hair collects, the armrests, where sweat builds up, and the front edge of the seat. If the cushion covers come off, we remove them to wash the foam on both sides.

Leather sofa cleaning
Leather sofa cleaning starts from SAR 220, and we do not use direct steam on it because heat and too much water dry and crack leather. We dust it first, clean it with a dedicated leather cleaner and a microfibre cloth, paying attention to folds and seams where dirt gathers, then dry it and apply a leather conditioner that restores its softness.
Genuine leather tolerates products differently from faux leather, so we ask which type it is and test on a hidden spot. We also recommend keeping leather sofas out of direct sunlight from windows, because it fades the colour and causes cracking over time.

Arabic majlis cleaning
Arabic majlis cleaning starts from SAR 185 and covers the floor cushions, backrests, bolsters and pillows in place. Majlis rooms in Jeddah homes are used a lot for guests and gatherings, so they collect coffee, tea, incense and perfume stains, and dust gets between the cushions and the wall.
We lift the backrests and vacuum under and behind them, then steam each piece and extract the water, taking care with embroidered edges and trims so they keep their shape. After drying we arrange the majlis as it was, and add a light freshener at the end if you like.

Sofa stain removal
Tough stain treatment starts from SAR 225, and we treat each stain with a product suited to its source before steaming, because steam alone can set some stains instead of lifting them. The table below shows how we handle the most common stains:
| Stain | Treatment | Expected result |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee and tea | Enzyme solution then extraction | Usually comes out unless very old |
| Oil, grease and food | Fabric-safe degreaser then steam | Comes out on most fabrics |
| Children’s urine | Odour treatment inside the padding, then sanitising | Stain and smell go with a deep wash |
| Sweat on armrests | Mild alkaline solution then extraction | Colour returns close to the original |
| Ink and dye | Careful spot solvent | Can fade a lot but sometimes not fully |
| Wax and chewing gum | Chill, scrape, then clean | Usually goes without a trace |
We tell you before we start if a particular stain is hard to remove completely, so the result is what you expect. Please do not scrub the stain hard or put bleach on it before we arrive, because that spreads it and fades the fabric.

Mattress steam cleaning
Mattress steam cleaning is priced by size and condition, so ask us for it by phone or WhatsApp. A mattress holds sweat and skin cells that dust mites feed on, and yellow stains appear over time. We vacuum both sides, steam and extract, treat the yellow stains, then leave it in a ventilated spot to dry before the sheets go back on.
If the problem is bed bugs, steam cleaning helps but is not enough on its own, and the whole room may need specialist treatment. We tell you plainly if we see signs of bed bugs.

Carpets, wall-to-wall carpet and curtains
Rugs and fitted carpet are cleaned where they lie from SAR 7.5 a square metre, and hanging curtains are steamed on the rail from SAR 165 per living room. They are often booked with sofas because dust moves between furnishings, and cleaning the sofa alone while the carpet is dirty makes the room go back to how it was quickly.
Corner sofas, sofa beds and chairs
We clean corner sofas section by section, sofa beds on both sides, upholstered dining chairs and office chairs. Dining chairs pick up food and grease stains, so we spot-treat them before steaming. In offices we schedule the visit outside working hours so the chairs dry before the next day.
Fabric types and how each is cleaned
Every fabric needs its own method, so each visit starts with checking the fabric and testing the product on a hidden area:
| Fabric | Suitable method | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary fabric (polyester and cotton) | Full steam and extraction | Handles deep washing and dries relatively fast |
| Velvet | Low moisture and brushing with the pile | Brushing the pile after drying restores its feel |
| Chenille | Low moisture and strong extraction | Sensitive to hard scrubbing |
| Linen | Gentle cleaning and a colour-fastness test | Can shrink or water-mark with too much water |
| Suede and microsuede | Dry or foam cleaning | Too much water leaves marks |
| Genuine and faux leather | Leather cleaner and conditioner | No direct steam |
White and light sofas need products that do not leave yellowing, and are cleaned section by section without letting the solution dry on the surface. On dark sofas we watch the dye fastness so colour does not bleed into the water.
Steam cleaning versus dry cleaning for sofas
Steam cleaning washes the fabric and padding from the inside and suits most fabrics, while dry foam cleaning uses very little moisture and suits delicate fabrics such as suede and some silks. Sometimes we combine both on the same sofa: foam for the delicate parts and steam for the seats.
Steam and extraction
Deep wash of fibres and padding, removes odours and sweat, needs 3–6 hours to dry.
Dry foam cleaning
Little moisture and faster drying, suits delicate fabrics, but less thorough on heavy soiling.
Hand washing with soap and water
Wets the fabric without extraction, leaving rings and a damp smell; we do not recommend it for upholstery.
How Gulf Al Arab steam cleans your sofa
We follow fixed steps from inspection to a final check with you:
- Inspection: we identify the fabric, its condition and the stains, and test the product on a hidden area.
- Dry vacuum: removing dust, crumbs and hair from between the seats and under cushions.
- Stain pre-treatment: with the right product for each stain.
- Steam and extraction: washing seats, back, armrests and sides and drawing the water out at once.
- Sanitising and freshening: on request, with fabric-safe products.
- Drying: extra extraction passes and directed airflow.
- Final check: we go over the pieces with you, and anything you are not happy with is cleaned again before we leave.
Note: Do not sit on the sofa or put cushions or throws on it before it is completely dry; pressure on damp fabric leaves marks, and a cover traps moisture and causes a smell.
How long does a sofa take to dry after steam cleaning?
A fabric sofa usually dries within 3–6 hours after steam cleaning with strong extraction, while thick floor cushions and mattresses may take longer. Drying speed depends on padding thickness, fabric type and airflow in the room.
- Turn on the AC or a fan in the room straight after cleaning.
- Open the windows if it is not dusty outside, and close them during dust storms.
- Stand loose cushions on their edges so they dry on both sides.
- Book a morning slot if you have guests in the evening.
When does a sofa need professional cleaning, and how often?
A sofa used daily needs professional cleaning every 6 months, a guest majlis once or twice a year, and any sofa straight away when stains or odours appear. Signs that it is time include:
- Armrests and headrests turning darker than the rest of the sofa.
- A sweat or damp smell when you sit down.
- Scattered food or drink stains.
- Sneezing or allergies when sitting on the sofa.
- Children or pets in the home.
- Before gatherings, Ramadan, Eid and receiving guests.
Sofa cleaning in homes with children or pets
A home with small children or cats needs sofa cleaning every 3–4 months instead of 6, because milk, juice, food and urine stains and pet hair build up faster and get into the padding. Children sit, play and nap on the sofa, so keeping it clean is part of keeping them healthy.
In these homes we choose gentle, low-odour products, vacuum pet hair with a dedicated nozzle before washing because steam alone does not lift it, and treat urine stains with an enzyme solution that breaks down the source of the smell. Afterwards we recommend keeping children and pets off the sofa until it is fully dry.
- Use a washable cover on the child’s or cat’s favourite seat.
- Blot any spill straight away rather than leaving it until evening.
- Set a place away from the sofa for children’s food and juice.
What to prepare before the sofa cleaning crew arrives
Prepare the room by clearing the sofa of items and small cushions and moving things around it, so the crew can reach every side easily.
- Remove throws, blankets, toys and other items from the sofa.
- Move small coffee tables and anything breakable.
- Tell us where the stains are and what caused them, if you know.
- Point us to a nearby water tap and power socket.
- Keep pets out of the room during cleaning and drying.
Why we do not recommend cleaning your sofa yourself
Cleaning a sofa at home with soap and water or a small home steamer wets the fabric and padding without drawing the water back out, so moisture stays in the foam and a smell and ring marks appear once it dries. In Jeddah’s humid climate this can turn into mould inside the padding.
Some strong household cleaners also fade fabric colours or leave a sticky residue that attracts dirt faster. Simple everyday care is useful, though: vacuuming weekly and blotting stains as soon as they happen with a clean cloth, without rubbing.
Tips to keep your sofa clean for longer
A sofa stays clean longer with a few simple habits that cut down on dust and stains:
- Vacuum the sofa weekly with the upholstery nozzle, especially between seats.
- Blot a stain straight away by pressing with a clean white cloth, without rubbing.
- Turn loose cushions every two weeks so wear is spread evenly.
- Keep the sofa out of direct sun and away from AC vents that are too close.
- Use washable covers in homes with children.
- Avoid eating on light-coloured sofas, and do not put bags or shoes on them.
Tip: If juice or coffee spills, press a dry tissue on it to soak up as much as possible, then press with a cloth dampened in cold water; hot water sets some stains.
Sofa and majlis cleaning before gatherings, Ramadan and Eid
The busiest times of year for sofa and majlis cleaning in Jeddah are the weeks before Ramadan, Eid and family occasions, so we recommend booking a few days ahead. A majlis that will receive guests needs to be completely dry before they arrive, so schedule the cleaning at least a day before the occasion.
After gatherings, coffee, sweet and oil stains pile up on majlis seating, and it pays to treat them within a few days before they oxidise and set. If the whole house needs preparing, the sofa crew can come on the same day as the house clean, with the sofas done after the floors and dusting are finished.
How to choose a sofa steam cleaning company in Jeddah
Choose a company that uses an extraction machine that pulls the water out, checks the fabric before starting, treats stains with different products according to their source, and reviews the result with you. These questions help you choose:
- Does the machine extract the water straight away, or only spray steam?
- Do they test the product on a hidden area first?
- How do they handle leather, velvet and suede?
- How many hours does the sofa take to dry with their method?
- Is the price clear before starting, based on the number of pieces?
Our Gulf Al Arab team goes through these points with you before the visit and says which stains can be removed and which may only fade, so the result is never a surprise.
