At a home on Lesney Street in Richmond, a client contacted Omega Carpet Cleaning Melbourne to professionally clean a modern charcoal-fabric sectional that had accumulated body oils, dust, and pet hair over time. The dark fabric, while sleek and elegant, showed subtle signs of wear and trapped allergens.
To preserve the fabric’s rich tone while delivering a thorough clean, we performed a precision upholstery cleaning service using a hot steam extraction method, specially suited for dense, dark materials.
Our Steam-Based Upholstery Cleaning Method
For this project, our technician used:
-
Steam extraction cleaning with high-heat, low-moisture delivery to lift deep-seated grime
-
Pet hair and allergen removal tools to clear trapped particles
-
Fabric-safe pre-spray to break down oils without dulling the fabric color
-
Rinse and neutralizing agent to leave the upholstery soft, clean, and residue-free
The image above captures the process as steam penetrates the fabric, ensuring a hygienic and even result—without over-saturation or damage to the texture.
From Worn to Wow
After just one session, the lounge was visibly refreshed, softer to the touch, and free from odors. The client was especially pleased with how the clean preserved the original dark tone of the upholstery while making the room feel cleaner and healthier overall.

Richmond, VIC, is a vibrant inner-city suburb just 3 km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Known for its eclectic mix of Victorian-era terraces, converted warehouses, and modern apartments, Richmond offers a dynamic urban lifestyle. The area boasts bustling shopping and dining precincts along Bridge Road, Swan Street, and Victoria Street, the latter renowned for its Vietnamese eateries and cultural festivals. Richmond is also home to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and offers excellent public transport options, including the major Richmond railway station and multiple tram lines.
The suburb’s diverse community enjoys a range of amenities, from parks and recreational facilities to a thriving arts scene. However, it’s worth noting that North Richmond has faced challenges related to public safety and drug use, particularly around the medically supervised injecting room on Lennox Street. While the facility has managed thousands of overdoses and saved lives, concerns have been raised about increased crime and community impact in the surrounding area.
Despite these issues, Richmond remains a sought-after suburb, offering a blend of historical charm, cultural diversity, and urban convenience. Its proximity to the city, coupled with a strong sense of community and a variety of housing options, makes it an attractive place to live for professionals, families, and investors alike.
