Business Bay is apartment living, and apartments here stay sealed and air conditioned for most of the year. What settles into a sofa, a rug or a mattress largely stays there — dust, dust mites and the irritants that come with them. Most people are surprised by what comes out of a sofa that looked perfectly clean.

Everything is cleaned in your home. We bring Karcher professional upholstery machines — the extraction is far stronger than a domestic vacuum — and nothing needs to leave the apartment. Sofas, carpets, rugs and mattresses all stay where they are.

Curtains are cleaned on the rail, so there is nothing to take down, nothing to rehang and no shrinkage risk. In a tower apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows that saves a genuinely awkward afternoon.

If you have a mark you are worried about, send us a photo on WhatsApp before you book. We will tell you honestly whether we think it will come out.

Every cleaner who comes to you is employed directly by Lavender Housecare, with a valid Emirates ID and residence visa. We do not subcontract. It is why our staff get through building security without a problem, and why we can promise you the same person every visit.

Our key company value at Lavender Housecare is looking after our staff. We genuinely believe that if we treat our team with respect and kindness they will be proud of their work — and it is that pride, more than any checklist, that ends up looking after your home.

We do take same-day bookings when we can. We are often quite busy, so it depends on your area and who is free, but it costs nothing to ask — message us and we will tell you straight away whether we can get somebody to you today.

Business Bay is a tower district built along the canal, and it is mixed in a way most of Dubai is not: homes and offices often sit in the same building, sometimes on alternating floors. That is why we do all four of our main services here, and why a good number of our Business Bay customers use us for their apartment and their office both.

Most of the homes are studios and one or two bedroom apartments, so a standard visit here is at the shorter end. Parts of Business Bay are also still being built out, and that shows: canal-facing glass and balconies pick up construction dust noticeably faster than in a settled area, and it is the thing customers here most often ask us to pay extra attention to.

Across Business Bay we serve customers in we serve customers in Windsor Manor, Executive Towers, DAMAC Maison, Paramount Midtown, The Bay, Tiara West Tower, Manazel Al Safa, Binghatti Canal, Art 18, DAMAC Bays Edge, Waves Tower and The Regal Tower.

Experienced cleaners

Our furniture team has been servicing customers and several businesses for several years. They know how to treat every piece of furniture differently.

Professional equipment

Kirby machines for dry treatment, Karcher for shampooing, or both together for the most thorough clean. The method matches the fabric rather than the other way round.

Variety of services

Sofas, rugs, carpets, mattresses. Curtains can also be cleaned without being removed from their rails.

Lavender is a go-to provider for exceptional furniture cleaning services in Dubai. Whether your furniture needs a routine clean or a deep refresh, our expert team is here to restore its beauty and comfort. As specialists in upholstery cleaning, we ensure that your furniture remains in top condition, enhancing the look and feel of your home.

Cleaning your sofas and rugs is not just about aesthetics; it's about maintaining a healthy and comfortable living space. Here are some key reasons why furniture cleaning is essential:

Eliminates Allergens — Sofas can trap dust, pet dander, and other allergens, which can lead to respiratory issues or allergies. Regular cleaning helps reduce these allergens, improving your home's air quality.
Removes Stains and Odours — Spills and accidents happen, but they don't have to leave a lasting mark. Professional cleaning removes stubborn stains and eliminates unpleasant odours, keeping your sofa fresh and clean.
Prevents Mould Growth — If your furniture has been exposed to moisture, there's a risk of mould and mildew developing. Cleaning not only removes mould but also prevents it from coming back.
Enhances Comfort — Over time, dirt and debris can make your sofa feel less comfortable. Cleaning removes these particles, ensuring that your sofa remains soft and cosy.
Preserves Your Investment — A sofa or rug is a significant investment, and regular cleaning helps maintain its value by keeping it in excellent condition.

More about our furniture cleaning across Dubai

Dry treatment — Kirby machine

Low-moisture cleaning using the Kirby system. It lifts dust, allergens and light dirt out of the fabric without wetting it.

Vacuum and brush the loose dirt off first.
Work in a dry foam shampoo, matched to the material and how sensitive it is.
Dry extraction. Our machines pull ten times harder than a regular vacuum, taking out dust, mites and irritants.

Best for — Delicate fabrics such as velvet, silk and linen blends; leather and faux leather; light maintenance cleaning; and allergy and dust control.

No drying time at all, and safe on sensitive materials. This is the one we recommend for regular maintenance, every two to four weeks.

Shampooing, the wet treatment — Karcher extraction machine

Deep wet cleaning. A professional cleaning solution goes on and the machine extracts the dirt, stains and bacteria back out from deep in the fabric.

Vacuum the loose dirt off first.
Spray on a professional furniture cleaning agent. The technician sets the amount and the strength to suit the material and how sensitive it is.
Brush down, working into any dirty or stained areas.
Wet extraction, again ten times stronger than a regular vacuum, taking dust, mites and irritants out along with the water.

Best for — Heavily stained sofas and upholstery; cotton and polyester fabrics; and deep hygiene cleaning.

Drying takes four to twelve hours depending on the fabric, and up to 24 hours after deep stain removal. Leave the furniture untouched while it dries.

Combo treatment — Kirby and Karcher together

The dry treatment followed by shampooing, so the surface and the deep-down dirt are both dealt with. It is the most thorough option we offer and it gives the best overall result.

Dry treatment first, to lift out the dust, allergens and loose dirt.
Then the full shampoo and wet extraction for what is left in the fabric.

Best for — Very dirty or long-unused furniture; move-in and move-out cleaning; and deep seasonal cleaning.

A longer job than either treatment on its own, and it needs drying time after the shampoo stage. Worth doing every three to six months.

If the fabric cannot take water — It is the dry treatment. That covers velvet, silk and linen blends, which can lose their colour if they are cleaned wet, and leather and faux leather.
If there are stains to shift — Shampooing is the stronger clean and the one that moves stains, on cotton, polyester and anything else that is safe with water.
If it has not been cleaned in a long time — The combo treatment. It is also what we would suggest for a move in or move out, when furniture has been sitting or has just been through a move.
Mattresses — We do both, but we recommend the dry treatment. A mattress is thick and takes a long time to dry out if it is cleaned wet, and dry extraction gets the dust and mites out without the wait. Where there is a stain, we shampoo that area specifically rather than the whole mattress.

After any of the three we can add a steam clean for an extra cost. The steam reaches 100°C, which eliminates bacteria and viruses without damaging the furniture. It is worth adding if you want the piece sanitised as well as clean — a good idea for keeping a healthy home, and for mattresses in particular.

Do you clean curtains without taking them down?

Yes. Curtains are cleaned on the rail, so there is nothing to take down, nothing to rehang and no shrinkage risk. Useful in a Business Bay tower where the windows run floor to ceiling.

What equipment do you use?

Karcher professional upholstery machines. Karcher is a German company specialising in cleaning equipment, and the extraction is far stronger than a domestic vacuum.

Do you clean at my home or take the furniture away?

Everything is cleaned in your home. Sofas, carpets, rugs, mattresses and curtains all stay where they are.

How often should I have my sofa and mattress cleaned?

Once or twice a year suits most homes, and more often if you have pets, small children or anyone with allergies. A mattress is worth doing on the same visit — it is where dust mites collect most, and we use the dry treatment so there is no drying time to wait for.

Do you clean curtains without taking them down?

Yes. Curtains can be cleaned while they are still on their rails, so there is nothing to take down, nothing to rehang and no shrinkage risk.

What is the difference between dry treatment, shampooing and the combo?

Dry treatment uses our Kirby machines and a dry foam shampoo. It lifts dust, allergens and light dirt without wetting the fabric, and there is no drying time. Shampooing uses our Karcher extraction machines with a cleaning solution, and it is the stronger clean for stains. The combo is both, one after the other, for furniture that has not been cleaned in a long time. Our technician will look at the fabric and tell you which yours needs.

How long does furniture take to dry after cleaning?

Four to twelve hours after shampooing, depending on the fabric, and up to 24 hours after deep stain removal. Leave the furniture untouched while it dries. Dry treatment needs no drying time at all.

How often should furniture be cleaned?

Dry treatment every two to four weeks keeps things on top of, if you want a regular arrangement. A combo treatment every three to six months is the deeper reset. Once or twice a year suits most homes, and more often if you have pets, small children or anyone with allergies.

Which treatment do you use on a mattress?

We do both, but we recommend the dry treatment. A mattress is thick and takes a long time to dry out if it is cleaned wet, and dry extraction gets the dust and mites out without the wait. If there is a stain, we shampoo that area specifically rather than the whole mattress.

Can you clean leather furniture?

Yes, with the dry treatment. Leather and faux leather are not cleaned wet, so we use the Kirby system on them.

Can you clean velvet, silk or linen furniture?

Yes, with the dry treatment. Delicate materials can lose their colour if they are cleaned wet, so we use dry foam shampoo and dry extraction on them instead.

What is the steam clean you offer?

An optional extra after either treatment. The steam reaches 100°C, which eliminates bacteria and viruses without damaging the furniture. It is worth adding if you want the piece sanitised as well as clean, and it is particularly good on mattresses.

What equipment do you use for furniture cleaning?

Karcher professional upholstery machines. Karcher is a German company specialising in cleaning equipment, and the extraction is far stronger than a domestic vacuum.

Can you remove stains from my sofa?

In most cases we can improve or remove marks from spills, though results depend on the fabric and how long the stain has been there. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly what to expect.

Do you clean at my home or take items away?

Everything is cleaned in your home. Sofas, carpets, mattresses and curtains all stay where they are.
