Services

A page for every service you sell

Sofas, rugs and carpets, mattresses, chairs and car seats, fabric protection: the method, products, kit and margin for each service.

  • Sofas

    Professional sofa cleaning

    A 3-seater sofa cleaned by extraction and protected is a one-to-two-hour job the customer sees the same day and books again every year.

  • Rugs and carpets

    Rug and carpet cleaning

    Office, hotel and shop carpets are cleaned by the square metre and on a schedule: a customer on contract is guaranteed work every month.

    See the service →
  • Mattresses

    Mattress cleaning and sanitising

    Holiday rentals and hotels need odour-free mattresses between guests: a seasonal sanitising contract is recurring revenue.

  • Chairs and car seats

    Chair and car seat cleaning

    Offices and restaurants have dozens of identical chairs: a per-chair service done out of hours closes with a simple quote.

  • Fabric protection

    Sofa and upholstery protection

    A drop of water beading off a light sofa sells the service on its own: always offer it after cleaning and renew it at every deep clean.

Step 1 · Process

Vacuum and prepare

This step on its own page →

Half the result comes before the water: dry vacuuming, removing hair and crumbs from the seams and checking the label to see if the fabric accepts water. A wet/dry vacuum then doubles for extraction.

Step 2 · Process

Pre-treatment and stains

This step on its own page →

Stains are treated before the general wash: enzymatic stain remover for organic stains (coffee, milk, urine, blood), a spray for grease and wine, a dedicated remover for carpets.

Step 3 · Process

Wash

This step on its own page →

The detergent that goes in the machine tank: enzymatic or base upholstery cleaner, diluted 1:25 to 1:50, and an all-purpose cleaner to pre-spray and for the hard parts. On leather, its own cleaner.

Step 4 · Process

Extraction

This step on its own page →

Injecting the solution and picking it up in the same pass lifts dirt from inside the upholstery foam and leaves little water to dry. A kit for the SuckR PRO, a compact machine or a manual wand.

Step 5 · Process

Odours and sanitising

This step on its own page →

What the customer judges when they get home is the smell: enzymatic neutralisers that treat the source, ozone for persistent cases and a fabric fragrance to close the job.

Step 6 · Process

Protect and waterproof

This step on its own page →

The service you sell after cleaning: a hydrophobic protector that makes spills bead off instead of soaking in. Professional 5 L, a touch-up spray and a fast-drying version.

Stain guide

Which stain is it? The product and the steps

Wine, coffee, pet urine, grease, blood, ink, make-up and mould: pick the stain and see how to treat it and with what.

  • Red wine

    Red wine has dyes that set quickly: the sooner you act and the less you rub, the better it comes out.

    Tough Stain Terminator · Tex

    How to remove it →
  • Coffee and tea

    Coffee and tea contain tannins; with milk or sugar they add protein and fat. An enzymatic stain remover deals with both.

    Tex · Fabric Seat Cleaner

    How to remove it →
  • Pet urine and odour

    Urine soaks into the foam and the smell comes back with humidity. Only enzymatic products break down the source; fragrances just mask it.

    Tex · Deotex

    How to remove it →
  • Grease and oil

    Food grease, creams and the dark mark on sofa arms and backrests need a product that dissolves fat before water goes on.

    Tough Stain Terminator · Pulitutto

    How to remove it →
  • Blood

    Blood is protein: hot water coagulates it and binds it to the fibre. Cold water and an enzymatic stain remover solve most stains.

    Tex · N0 Odors

    How to remove it →
  • Ballpoint ink

    Inks spread easily: work with the product on the cloth, dabbing, never directly on the fabric.

    Tough Stain Terminator · Micron Scrub

    How to remove it →
  • Make-up

    Foundation and lipstick are fat with pigment: dissolve the fat first, then lift the pigment.

    Tough Stain Terminator · Tex

    How to remove it →
  • Mould and damp smell

    Mould comes from damp: you clean it and treat the smell, but if the piece stays somewhere damp it comes back.

    Deotex · Tough Odor Eliminator

    How to remove it →

Before any stain: check the label (W, WS, S or X) and test the product on a hidden spot.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from upholstery cleaners, short answers

What upholstery cleaning companies ask us most often about products, machines and method.

Which machine do I need to start cleaning sofas?

An extraction machine and a wet/dry vacuum. The BigBoi SuckR PRO does both with the XtractR extraction kit (4.5 L tank, 3-bar pump); for chairs, car seats and spot cleaning, the XtractR Mini is more compact. The starter kit on this page combines the machine, the chemicals and the brushes.

What dilution should I use for the upholstery cleaner?

The Lava Interni B Aroma Evoenzymes technical sheet gives 1:25 to 1:50 as a spray or in the machine tank: 1:25 for heavy soiling, 1:50 for maintenance. Start with the weaker dilution and test on a hidden spot.

How long does a sofa take to dry?

Usually a few hours, depending on the fabric, foam, humidity and ventilation. A final vacuum-only pass and cushions upright with air moving shorten drying the most.

How do I know if a fabric accepts water?

From the label: “W” accepts water cleaning, “WS” water or solvent, “S” solvents only and “X” vacuum only. Without a label, test on a hidden spot with a damp white cloth and check the colour does not transfer.

Can I use extraction on leather sofas?

No. Leather is cleaned with its own cleaner (X2 Fabrics & Leather works on leather and fabric), a soft brush and microfibre, without soaking. The SC4 Tex Coat protector is also suitable for leather.

How do I remove pet urine smell?

With enzymatic products, which break down the source of the smell: enzymatic stain remover (Tex), extraction with the enzymatic upholstery cleaner and an enzymatic neutraliser (Deotex or N0 Odors) at the end. Never use ammonia: it draws the animal back to the same spot. The stain guide on this page has the steps.

When should I apply fabric protection and how long does it last?

Always after cleaning, on completely dry fabric, in two cross coats. X-TEX keeps its effect after several wash cycles; on everyday sofas, renew the protection at every deep clean.

Is the ozone generator safe?

It works on persistent odours, but ozone irritates the airways: use it only in empty spaces, with no people, pets or plants, for the timer period, and air the space well before using it again.

How much should I charge per job?

It depends on the area, volume and what is included. The margin calculator on this page shows the product cost per job and what you earn at the price you enter; signed in to the store it uses your trade prices.

How do I buy at trade prices?

Create a trade account with your company tax number (BestQuímica validates it, usually on the same business day). Then you see your prices on this page and in the store, with real-time stock. Some products already show the public price without signing in.

Where can I find the safety data sheets?

Request them on the “Safety data sheets” page: we email the SDS in Portuguese within 1 business day.
