Sofa Cleaning
For apartments, offices, independent houses and restaurants in Banani: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Sofa Cleaning is specialist work, and it is usually booked when ordinary cleaning has stopped making a difference. For properties in Banani, Dhaka Cleaners starts by looking at the material or surface, its condition and what caused the problem, then chooses a method and products to suit, testing first wherever there is doubt. You get an honest view of what is likely to improve before we start, so expectations are realistic from the outset.
Banani sits between Gulshan and the Cantonment and packs a lot into a small area: apartment buildings on quiet residential roads, the offices, banks and restaurants of Kemal Ataturk Avenue, the cafés of Road 11 and the green edge of Banani Lake. Dhaka Cleaners serves Banani households and businesses with deep cleaning, regular cleaning, restaurant and office cleaning, and specialist work such as sofa, carpet and water tank cleaning.
Buildings in Banani are often shared between uses, with shops or offices on the lower floors and flats above. That raises practical questions: when the service lift can be used, where equipment can be stored during the job, and whether noisy work must avoid business hours or evenings. Dhaka Cleaners settles these with you and the building management before sofa cleaning begins, which keeps the job running smoothly for everyone in the building.
Apartment buildings dominate the residential roads, with commercial towers, bank branches and restaurants along Kemal Ataturk Avenue and a dense cluster of restaurants and cafés around Road 11.
Restaurant kitchens need hood, exhaust and duct degreasing plus regular pest control. Offices and banks want after-hours cleaning and glass care, while flats most often book deep cleaning, sofa and carpet shampooing and water tank cleaning.
Dhaka Cleaners keeps the process simple. Most of the planning happens before the team arrives, which means less waiting and fewer surprises on the day.
We identify the fabric, test a hidden spot for colour fastness and point out stains that may not fully lift.
Loose dust, hair and crumbs are removed from every surface and crevice.
Spots are treated with the right agent for food, tea, oil or body soil.
A fabric-safe shampoo is worked in with a soft upholstery brush.
The extraction machine rinses the fibres and draws the dirty water back out.
The pile is brushed into place and we explain how to ventilate the room while it dries.
Reducing dust and pet dander in the cushions can make the living room more comfortable for allergy sufferers.
Regular cleaning removes the abrasive grit that wears fabric thin over time.
No transport and no waiting for furniture to come back; everything is done on site.
Hot-water extraction removes dirt and detergent residue from deep in the fibres, not just the surface.
Equipment: We use a portable hot-water extraction machine with an upholstery tool, a vacuum with crevice attachments, soft-bristle brushes and microfibre towels.
Starting from ৳ 400 per seat

Dhaka Cleaners covers Banani and nearby areas including Gulshan, Baridhara, Mohakhali and Cantonment. Same-day visits are sometimes possible, subject to team availability, but booking a day or two ahead gives us the best chance of offering the time you want. Larger jobs are scheduled once the scope is agreed, so the right team and equipment can be assigned.
We work in Banani most days of the week. Same-day visits are subject to team availability, and after-closing restaurant cleaning should be booked ahead.
Evening traffic around Road 11 and Kemal Ataturk Avenue is heavy and parking is limited, so we agree unloading points in advance. Apartment and office buildings usually require entry through the guard desk and may need lift booking.
Common questions about sofa cleaning in Banani.
Yes. Restaurant cleaning, including kitchen hood and exhaust fan degreasing, is usually scheduled after the last service or before opening so the kitchen is not out of use during trading hours. Late-night slots are limited, so please book a few days in advance.
It can be, depending on the size of the job and which teams are free that day. Small jobs such as a single bathroom or a sofa set are easier to fit in at short notice, while full-flat deep cleaning is best booked a day or two ahead. All same-day requests are subject to team availability.
No, all cleaning is done on site at your home or office. We only need a power socket nearby and access to water, and it helps if the space around the sofa is cleared before the team arrives.
Every six to twelve months suits most homes. Households with young children, pets or allergy sufferers, and heavily used seating in offices or cafés, may benefit from cleaning every three to six months.
Sofas can be cleaned all year, but drying takes longer when the air is humid. In the monsoon, a morning appointment, a ceiling fan and good ventilation all help. The team will give you a realistic drying estimate for your fabric on the day.
Yes. Sofa cleaning can be booked alongside a deep or home clean so everything is finished in one visit. Mention the number of seats and the type of fabric when you book, so we send the right equipment and allow enough time.
