To clean and protect a fabric properly — not surface-washed, but taken back to the colour it started with, and treated so the next spill lifts out instead of setting in.
“Don’t just wash the couch. Maishire it.”
Carpets, lounge suites, mattresses and curtains deep-cleaned in your home — then treated so the next spill beads on the surface instead of soaking in. Almost every customer adds the protection. It is the part that lasts.
Every fabric takes a different method. Velvet is not wool, wool is not a synthetic pile, and a suede-look suite will mark permanently if it is treated like a carpet. Tell us what you have and we will tell you exactly how it gets handled.
A treatment that sits in the fibre, so the next spill beads on the surface instead of soaking in. The reason you can buy the couch you actually want.
Hot-water extraction that lifts the grit sitting below the pile — the part a vacuum never reaches.
Arms, headrests and seat cushions carry years of body oil. It comes out, and the colour usually comes back with it.
You spend a third of your life on it and it has probably never been cleaned. This is the one people are most surprised by.
Curtains hold more dust than anything else in a room because nothing ever disturbs them.
Full interior detail on the fabric side — the seats, the carpets, the boot and the parts that hold the smell.
Reception carpets and staff chairs age a workplace faster than the furniture does. We work around your hours.
Send us a photo on WhatsApp. We will tell you what it needs, what it will cost, and whether it is worth doing at all.
Per item, and no call-out fee inside our service area. If something is heavily soiled or needs a second pass we will tell you before we start — you will never get a number at the end you did not agree to at the beginning.
Curtains, vehicle interiors and offices are quoted on sight. There is too much variation in size and fitting to put a fair number on a page. Send a photo on WhatsApp and you will have a price the same day.
Cleaning and protecting the same suite on one visit costs less than booking them separately — ask when you book.
The part most people worry about is the price changing on the day. It does not. What we quote after the assessment is what you pay.
Tell us what needs cleaning and which suburb you are in. A photo helps but is not required.
We look at the fabric, the size and the condition, then give you one honest price and an honest expectation of the result.
We bring the equipment. Furniture gets moved and put back, floors get protected, and we clear up behind us.
Most fabrics are touch-dry within a few hours. We tell you exactly how long before we start, so you can plan the day.
A vacuum takes the surface. Everything below is what makes a room smell tired and a mattress feel heavy.
This industry has a lot of one-season operators with a machine and a bakkie. We have been cleaning fabric in Johannesburg since 2018 and we will still be reachable next year.
We assess, we quote, and that is the number. No add-ons discovered halfway through, and no charge if you decide not to go ahead.
Wool, velvet, linen, suede-look and synthetics all behave differently under water and heat. Using one method on all of them is how suites get ruined.
Furniture back where it was, floors dry, packaging gone. You should not have to clean up after a cleaning company.
In 2016 I kept hearing the same thing. People loved a couch right up until something spilled on it. After that they stopped relaxing on it — and more than a few told me they had talked themselves out of the bright colour they actually wanted, in case one mark ruined the whole thing.
That struck me as a bad trade. So I went and learned the subject properly: two years on fibres, dyes and finishes, and on what genuinely lifts a stain as opposed to what just moves it somewhere less obvious.
Maishire Fabrics opened in 2018 on one idea — a sofa should be something you use, not something you protect from your own family. We clean fabrics other people have written off, and we treat them so the next spill is a wipe rather than a disaster.
That is still the job. Nothing gets written off before we have looked at it.
Anyone can clean it.
We Maishire it.

Not stock images. These are pieces we have cleaned and protected, shot on the day.
Messages customers sent us after the job, in their own words.
Thank you for your service. I do not regret trusting your service. That was a 10/10 service.
Thank you so much. 5 star service my brother.
Pick what you need below. We will write the WhatsApp message for you so nothing gets left out — then you press send and we reply from there.
We are a mobile service — everything happens at your address, so there is nothing to drop off and nothing to collect.
Not on the list? Message us anyway. We travel further for larger jobs and for several homes booked on the same day.
It depends on size, fabric and condition, which is why we assess before we quote rather than reading a number off a list. Message us with what you need and roughly how big it is and we will give you a realistic range straight away, then confirm the exact price at the assessment.
Most upholstery and carpet is touch-dry within two to six hours depending on the fabric, the humidity and the airflow in the room. Mattresses are usually ready to sleep on the same night. We tell you the expected time before we start, not after.
Not always, and anyone who promises otherwise is guessing. Dye stains, bleach damage and sun fading are permanent changes to the fibre. Almost everything else — food, drink, body oil, pet accidents, general soil — lifts or improves significantly. We will tell you honestly which one yours is at the assessment.
Yes, a standard plug point and a tap are all we need, and the usage is small. If your building or complex has a restriction, tell us when you book and we will arrange around it.
Message us and we will tell you the soonest we can be there. Same-week is usually possible; month-end and the run-up to holidays book up faster, so give us more notice then if you can.
No. We move what needs moving and put it back where it was. If there is anything fragile or valuable in the room, just point it out when we arrive and we will work around it.
The treatments we use are chosen to be safe for a household once dry, and we will tell you how long to keep the room clear. If anyone in the home has an allergy or a sensitivity, mention it when you book and we will adjust what we use.
The assessment is free and there is no obligation after it. Worst case you find out what it would cost.
