Zoe RocheThe one time I hired a newbie company to handle my upholstery, they left my sofa smelling worse than I left it. Not to mention, the cushions were damp and mildewy. Heck, they didn’t even bother to remove the stains.
Lesson learned: upholstery cleaning is not a job for amateurs. You need an experienced and professional company with high-quality cleaning methods and products.
So, I got help from the rest of the Auckland Magazine crew. We looked into the best companies in the city that could bring your furniture back to life.
Here’s what we found.
How much does an upholstery cleaning service cost in Auckland?
Upholstery cleaning in Auckland costs at least 50 NZD.
This is just an estimate and the final price depends on the fabric type, furniture size, and the intensity of the cleaning needed.
1. Alex Carpet Cleaning Solutions (ACS)
Address: 5A Pax Avenue, Forrest Hill
Contact Details: +64 800 880 885
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
Alex Carpet Cleaning Solutions is a solid choice for upholstery cleaning. They offer a wide range of services for different furniture types like brand new sofas and slightly worn ottomans.
What sets them apart is their personalized approach. They carefully tailor methods to ensure your furniture gets the best possible care.
One thing we loved is their affordability. They’re mindful of keeping prices reasonable, and their package deals are a real bonus. They have lounge suites and carpet cleaning options that could save you some pennies.
The best part? Free quotes. This helps you get a good idea of what you’re looking at before you commit.
However, some customers noted that ACS struggled to remove pet hair from their couches completely. It’s frustrating, given their high expectations for the service.

2. Klever Carpet Cleaning Auckland
Address: 44A Kurahaupo Street
Contact Details: +64 800 553 837
Operating Hours: Monday to Saturday: Open 24 hours
Klever Carpet Cleaning Auckland takes upholstery cleaning seriously. They focus on a six-step process that utilizes non-toxic methods and chemicals.
What really impressed us is their expertise in removing tough stains, including biological ones. One customer even raved about how they saved a light-colored sofa from a major ketchup spill.
They also offer specialized services, such as marine upholstery cleaning for boats and yachts. This service is designed to handle exposure to saltwater and harsh weather.
Additionally, they provide mattress cleaning using steam cleaning and air drying. You can ensure no chemical residues are left behind.
It’s worth noting, though, that their cleaning process takes a bit longer compared to some competitors. However, most customers agree that the wait is worth it due to its impressive results.
Excellent job and a delight to work with

3. Carpet Lab
Contact Details: +64 9 200 2943
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday – 7 AM to 7 PM
Carpet Lab’s cleaners touts themselves as experts, and we can’t help but agree.
Their use of advanced equipment, like truck-mounted hot water extraction systems and HEPA-filtered vacuums, shows they’re serious about providing top-tier cleaning.
What stood out to us—and many other customers—is their ability to remove stubborn pet stains and eliminate musty odors from old armchairs. One customer even said they managed to make an old armchair smell fresh thanks to their deodorizing process.
Another highlight is the expertise of the technicians. They’re highly knowledgeable about different fabrics and stains, so they can tailor their cleaning methods to ensure the best results.
However, the process can be time-consuming. Some customers noted the inconvenience of waiting several hours for their furniture to fully dry.

Crystal Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Services is a solid choice for those looking to get their home and car upholstery sparkling clean.
Their technicians are meticulous. They’re not afraid to spend the extra time to ensure those hard-to-reach areas are properly cleaned.
The customers we talked to also frequently praised their attention to detail. One customer was thrilled to see her sofa, previously marred by stubborn pet stains, looking almost brand new.
Another customer noted how much fresher his car smelled after the service eliminated a lingering musty odor.
However, some customers mentioned that Crystal can be more expensive than other companies. This might make it less appealing for those on a tighter budget.

5. Upholstery Cleaning Auckland Ltd
Address: 26 Avondale Road
Contact Details: +64 9 535 1055
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – Open 24 hours
Upholstery Cleaning Auckland Ltd. has been family-owned since 1987, and it’s clear they know what they’re doing when it comes to deep cleaning.
They use a high-temperature steam system to remove all that gross stuff we don’t want in our homes—germs, dust mites, and viruses.
One of the standout features of their service is their attention to detail. They get into all the nooks and crannies where dirt likes to hide. Several people also told us the team removed stains on their furniture that they thought were permanent.
For car upholstery, they use specialized tools like rotating brushes and nozzles that break down deep dirt. This is especially effective for cleaning hidden grime.
That said, they only offer basic car cleaning. If you want a more detailed cleaning, you’ll have to go elsewhere.
