Sofa Cleaning
For apartments, offices, restaurants and bank branches in Gulshan 1: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Good sofa cleaning starts with an honest assessment. When you contact Dhaka Cleaners about a property in Gulshan 1, we ask what the problem is, how long it has been building up and what you have already tried. If something is beyond what the job can fix, such as permanent staining or damp caused by a leak, we say so before booking, and the quote reflects the work that will genuinely help.
Gulshan 1 is the busier, more commercial half of Gulshan, centred on the Gulshan 1 circle with its offices, bank branches, shops and restaurants. Behind the main roads are apartment buildings and family homes, and Niketan lies next door. Dhaka Cleaners cleans flats, offices, shopfronts and restaurant kitchens here, fitting visits around the traffic, the parking limits and each building's access rules.
The furnishings and surfaces in a property say a lot about how sofa cleaning should be done. Fabric sofas and rugs absorb dust and humidity; marble and tiled floors dull under grit; glass and metal fittings mark quickly in dusty air; kitchens and exhausts collect grease from daily cooking. With apartments, offices, restaurants and bank branches in Gulshan 1, we ask about materials and condition first and bring the equipment that suits them.
Commercial frontage around Gulshan 1 circle and Gulshan Avenue, with shops, restaurants, bank branches and office floors, backed by apartment buildings and some older family houses on the residential roads.
Shops, banks and offices need regular floor care, glass cleaning and washroom hygiene because of constant foot traffic. Restaurants need kitchen degreasing and pest control, and flats commonly book deep cleaning, sofa cleaning 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.
Removing body oils, spills and trapped dust tackles stale and musty smells at their source.
Fabric, velvet, leather and leatherette are each cleaned with a suitable technique and product.
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.
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
Sofa Cleaning starts from ৳ 400 per seat, with the total depending on the quantity, material and condition involved. Heavy staining or difficult access can add time, which we explain when we quote.
Whether you are in Gulshan 1 itself or close by in Badda, Mohakhali, Niketan and Gulshan 2, the booking process is the same: share the details, agree the scope and price, then choose a slot.

Loading space near the circle is scarce, so we agree an unloading point before the visit. Commercial buildings usually require entry through the guard desk and may restrict cleaning to after business hours.
Common questions about sofa cleaning in Gulshan 1.
Early-morning visits before opening time can usually be arranged if booked in advance. We agree the start time, what must be finished before customers arrive and any building rules on entry, all subject to team availability.
Most everyday stains from food, tea and general use lighten significantly or disappear. Old oil stains, ink, dye transfer, bleach marks and damage from earlier cleaning attempts may only fade or may be permanent. We inspect every stain before starting and tell you honestly what to expect.
Yes. Leather and leatherette are not suitable for wet extraction, so we clean them by hand with products suited to the surface and condition genuine leather afterwards. Cracked or peeling leatherette cannot be restored by cleaning, but it can still be cleaned carefully.
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. Reception sofas, fabric chairs and café seating can be cleaned on site, usually outside working or trading hours so they have time to dry. Tell us roughly how many seats there are and the type of fabric, and we will plan the visit around your opening times.
