The Velvo standard
Your sofa absorbs
everything.
Paulo checks every fabric tag before a single drop of water touches your sofa. Most companies don’t. We think it’s the only way to avoid shrinkage, color bleed, and the kind of damage that turns a cleaning into a replacement.
We use steam-heated extraction with pH-balanced chemistry matched to your specific fabric code — wool, cotton, polyester, velvet, silk. Zero soap residue left behind. Zero damage claims across every fabric type we’ve ever cleaned.
Fabric-safe chemistry
pH-balanced treatment matched to your fabric code — wool, cotton, polyester, velvet, silk. Zero damage claims.
Zero residue
No soapy buildup means fabric stays clean longer. Re-soiling happens when residue is left behind — ours isn’t.
Deep extraction
Steam-heated extraction reaches body oils, pet dander, and allergens trapped in the padding — not just the surface.
Dry in 8–12 hours
Not 24–48 hours. Controlled moisture application means your sofa is back in use the next morning.
Don’t ignore the signs
6 signs your sofa
needs professional extraction.
Upholstery acts as a giant filter for your home’s air. When that filter is full, your indoor environment suffers.
01
Persistent musty odors
Your living room has a lingering pet scent or mustiness that air fresheners can’t hide. Bacteria is trapped deep within the foam and fabric layers.
02
Dark buildup on armrests
Darkening on armrests and headrests — known as soil filtration — is body oil and skin cell accumulation that needs industrial emulsification.
03
Allergy flare-ups when seated
Sneezing more when you sit down? Dust mites and pollen settle into upholstery fibers. Professional extraction is the only way to fully remove them.
04
Dull, grayed fabric
Fine grit acts like sandpaper over time, abrading fibers and making colors look muted. Deep cleaning restores the vibrant original look.
05
Old stains that keep darkening
Spills that were “blotted away” leave residues that attract more dirt over time. Professional chemistry lifts what DIY cleaners miss.
06
Pets sleep on the sofa
Pets are family, but they bring in outdoor pollutants. If your pet sleeps on the couch, a professional 6-month cleaning cycle is essential for hygiene.

Our process
Barefoot Clean
Protocol™
Five steps. Two owners. Every time. The same hands-on protocol adapted for every fabric type — from cotton blends to silk velvet.
-
01
BCP Inspect™We check every fabric tag and test fiber content. Determine the correct pH balance and temperature for your specific textile — before any water touches the sofa.~10 min
-
02
BCP Extract™Industrial pre-vacuuming removes dry particulate, pet hair, and crumbs from every crevice — armrests, cushion gaps, base panels. Before moisture is ever introduced.~15 min
-
03
BCP Treat™Safe pre-sprays and gentle agitation emulsify body oils, break down food stains, and loosen the invisible grease that makes fabric feel sticky and dull.~20 min
-
04
BCP Restore™Steam-heated extraction flushes out dirt and bacteria without over-wetting the cushions. Controlled moisture means no mold risk and no watermarks on delicate fabric.~30 min
-
05
BCP Certify™Nap grooming sets the fabric for a uniform, showroom-fresh look. pH neutralization ensures no sticky residue. Dry in 8–12 hours.~10 min
Beyond basic cleaning
Specialized solutions
for every fabric.
Specialty 01
Pet odor elimination
Dog urine leaves urea crystals in both fabric and foam padding. We use enzymatic digesters that break down those crystals at the molecular level — not fragrance spray. In the fabric itself, it’s 100% removable and won’t return.
Specialty 02
Delicate & luxury fabrics
Velvet, silk, wool, linen — each requires specific pH balance and temperature. We identify your fabric code on the care tag and adjust our chemical process accordingly. Zero damage claims across all fabric types.
Specialty 03
Fabric protection
Factory protective coatings wear off with use. We reapply premium sealant after cleaning — an invisible barrier that gives you extra time to wipe up spills before they become permanent stains.

Questions
Upholstery cleaning
answered honestly.
For a standard 2–3 seat sofa, expect $180–$350. Larger sectionals run higher. We provide an exact quote within 15 minutes when you text us a photo. No surprise fees — just transparent pricing.
Yes. We check the fabric code on your care tag during the inspection step and adjust pH balance, water temperature, and chemistry accordingly. W-code (wool) requires cooler water. S-code (solvent-only) gets dry cleaning methods. Zero damage claims across all fabric types.
Usually, yes. Aged stains require specific pre-treatment chemistry and 15–20 minutes of dwell time. Red wine needs oxidation reversal; chocolate and sugars need specialized emulsifiers. Most cases (80%+) come clean on the first service. If the fiber is permanently discolored, we’re honest about it.
We eliminate odor at the source. Dog urine leaves urea crystals in both fabric and foam padding. We use enzymatic digesters that break down those crystals at the molecular level — not just fragrance spray. In the fabric itself, it’s 100% removable and won’t return.
Not with us. That happens when companies leave soap residue on the fabric, which attracts dirt fast. We neutralize the pH after extraction so no sticky residue stays behind. Your beige sofa won’t darken because the fibers stay clean, not tacky.
We deep clean the entire sofa — seat, backrest, arms, side panels, base. Every part gets equal attention. We include nap grooming at the end to make everything uniform and showroom-fresh. If you only want a specific stain cleaned, let us know, but we always recommend full cleaning for best results.
Most upholstery dries in 8–12 hours depending on fabric type and airflow. We control moisture application carefully to avoid over-wetting. Your sofa will be ready to use the next morning.
24-hour satisfaction guarantee. If you’re unhappy with any aspect — drying time, odor removal, or stain extraction — we return and re-clean at no charge, or refund 100% of the service fee. As a family business, our local reputation is everything.
Yes — fully insured with general liability coverage ($1M+). We have zero upholstery damage claims because Paulo and Digiorgia personally supervise every job. If something ever happened, insurance covers it. No excuses.
