CouchSurfer

Our Process

Five steps, every time.

We don’t cut corners. Every couch we sell goes through the same five-step refurbishment process: sourcing, inspection, deep cleaning, detailing, and honest photography.

Step 5 in action: every couch is staged and photographed in our studio before it’s listed.
  1. 01

    Sourcing

    Every couch starts with a careful pickup. We inspect on-site before loading — frame check, cushion test, fabric condition. Only the best pieces make it back to the workshop.

  2. 02

    Initial inspection

    Back at the workshop, we go deeper: hardwood frame check, joint stability, cushion fill density, upholstery condition, and any hidden surprises.

  3. 03

    Deep cleaning

    Mytee professional hot-water extraction. TMF Black Label upholstery cleaner for general grime. TMF Unchained for tough stains. TMF Cotton & Linen for delicate fabrics. Multiple passes, never one-and-done.

  4. 04

    Detailing

    Leather pieces get conditioned with Lexol or Leather Master. Spot treatment for any lingering marks. Deodorizing for any residual smells. Each piece is brought back to its best.

  5. 05

    Photography & listing

    Staged photos in our showroom-style backdrop. Honest condition notes. Dimensions verified. Anything you'd want to know if you were buying.
