Our Refurbishment & Cleaning Process

How every used piece gets new life — in five simple steps

At Affordable Comfort, we take pride in restoring each pre-owned item to the highest standard of cleanliness and comfort before it reaches your home. Every couch, chair, and sectional goes through a detailed, multi-step refurbishment process handled by our in-house team.

Step 1: Careful Inspection

Every item starts with a full inspection to identify what’s needed to bring it back to top condition.

We assess the fabric type, color, age, and structure to determine the safest and most effective cleaning and repair methods.

Step 2: Thorough Vacuuming

No shortcuts here — every piece is vacuumed inside and out the moment it arrives at our warehouse.

This essential first step removes dust, debris, and pet hair, ensuring a clean foundation before deeper treatment begins.

Step 3: Fabric Care & Minor Repairs

Next, we tidy up and refresh the furniture.

Depending on what we found during inspection, this may include:

  • De-pilling fabrics
  • Tightening legs or frames
  • Re-stuffing sagging cushions
  • Repairing zippers or seams

These small but important details make a big difference in comfort and appearance.

Step 4: Deep Cleaning (Hot Water Extraction)

For fabric items, we perform a professional deep clean using hot water extraction — the same method trusted by upholstery specialists.

Our equipment injects warm, cleaning-solution-infused water deep into the fibers, then extracts it with powerful suction to lift out dirt, dust, and residue.

We repeat the process until the extracted water runs completely clear, leaving the upholstery fresh and revitalized.

Step 5: Dry & Detail

Once cleaning is complete, each piece is set aside to fully air dry before staging, photography, and delivery.

This ensures your furniture arrives fresh, clean, and ready for a second life in your home.

Another great piece — saved from the landfill.

Leather Furniture

Leather items follow a similar process with one key difference: no hot water extraction.

Instead, we:

  • Use leather-safe cleaners tailored to the specific type of leather
  • Condition each surface with a non-toxic, natural conditioner
  • Restore luster and softness while protecting against future wear

The result: clean, refreshed leather with a supple, like-new finish.

Our Promise

Every pre-owned piece from Affordable Comfort goes through this process — no exceptions.

We believe quality and cleanliness should never be compromised, and we’re proud to give great furniture a second chance while giving you an affordable, comfortable home.
