🛋️ Expert Upholstery Cleaning Techniques
We tailor our cleaning method to your furniture fabric, ensuring optimal results every time:
🔹 Steam / Hot Water Extraction
Deep clean and sanitize your upholstery using high-temperature steam. This method penetrates fibers to loosen and remove embedded dirt, grime, and allergens—perfect for durable fabrics.

Ideal for delicate or moisture-sensitive materials, this technique uses specialized solvents to lift away dirt without over-wetting—keeping your upholstery clean and safe.

We follow a thorough multi-step approach to ensure quality and care:

- Pre-Vacuum & Pre-Spray – Remove debris and apply targeted cleaning solution in high-contact areas.
- Hand Shampoo & Extraction Rinse – Gently ruffle and rinse deeper layers using our upholstery machine.
- Deodorisation & Toweling – Neutralise odours, reset fabric pile, and restore softness.

I have referred to friends & family
5 Star service!
From the initial contact with Gary, to the completed job, the service was excellent. Matt and Keanu were very polite and professional. They explained the repair process clearly when they arrived, which put me at ease. The technician, Gary, also mentioned that even if I hadn’t had spare offcuts, there were alternative methods for sourcing matching thread — which was reassuring to know.
The final result exceeded my expectations — you genuinely wouldn’t be able to tell there had ever been any damage. It’s saved me a lot of money compared to replacing the entire carpet. I'm absolutely delighted and would highly recommend Northstar to anyone needing expert carpet repairs!
PLUS he cleaned and deoderised a mattress that came up looking like new.
Would highly recommend North Star Cleaning. This isn't the first time I've used them and it won't be the last! 🌟
Matt always makes our carpets look good as new.
Never use anyone else.
From booking the clean, paying the deposit and all elements of the cleaning the service was first class.
We had a couple of stubborn stains and the advice and help we received from the operative were very helpful indeed - would recommend.
Very pleased with the carpet, looks new again
Thanks Matt
Will definitely use again

Thank you to everyone involved
Have used North Star previously and will certainly use them again.
Unable to review again so editing my original review to capture both January and today's job (8/08/24):
Thank you Matthew and team for going the extra mile to accommodate my last minute request for carpet cleaning. So professional, superb results again and great value service.
NorthStar, owned by Karen and Gary, is an excellent company that deserves 5 stars for their prompt, professional, and top-quality service.
Karen and Gary are extremely approachable and will do everything possible to provide assistance and help. If you're looking to make your carpets look clean again, NorthStar is the company to call.
Matt is a lovely guy, thoroughly professional and friendly as indeed are Karen (who gave us an indicative quote over the phone) and Gary (who measured up for the final quote). Highly recommend and we will definitely use this company again.
The repair to the carpet was exceptional.
(Colour of carpet looks different due to the pics being taken in the day & evening).
Highly recommended.
