Used interiors are not used up
As long as the textile surface is intact and undamaged, UpCycle is the answer. If it is damaged, reupholstery is the right call — and we will tell you so. UpCycle® is restoration cleaning for furniture and textiles taken out of use, whether they are going back to the same client or onwards into circulation to a new one.
The furniture that is neither new nor broken
A piece of furniture that comes back is rarely worn out. It is dirty.
That gap is what UpCycle® is built to close.
More than deep cleaning
Deep cleaning restores an interior that is in service with a client. UpCycle® goes further: it is restoration of furniture taken out of use, often after many years, that needs to look ready for delivery again.
We open the fibres, lift out what has settled over the years, and restore colour and character as close to original as the material allows. Then we impregnate — so the next life lasts longer than the last.
- Restoration of textile surfaces that are intact but soiled
- Removes what has worked its way in through years of use
- Followed by impregnation, so the next life cycle starts protected
- Carried out at your premises or ours, depending on the situation
- Priced per unit, like our other services
We tell you when reupholstery is the right answer
If the textile surface is damaged — torn, burnt, worn through — no cleaning will help. Then reupholstery is the answer, and we tell you straight away.
We do not take on jobs that will not pay off. For those of you assessing a hundred chairs in a lot, that assessment is often worth more than the treatment itself.
For those of you handling used interiors
Several interior companies now run their own channels for reselling used furniture. The challenge is rarely finding buyers — it is deciding what is worth taking in, and making it look like something people will pay for.
Interior and furniture companies
You take back interiors from clients and need to decide what can be sold on. We assess the lot together with you.
Resale channels
You sell used office interiors on. The difference between "used" and "restored" is the entire price difference.
Businesses with their own furniture stock
You move, refurbish or rotate interiors between locations, and want more out of what you already own.
Back to the same client or on to a new one
Back in service with the same client
The client keeps the furniture, but wants it back in presentable condition — after a move, a refurbishment or years of use.
- No new procurement, no lead time
- Known quality, known fit
- Impregnation afterwards extends the next life cycle
Into circulation and resale
The furniture is to be sold on through your own channel. Then its appearance is the entire difference in what it can be priced at.
- Restored is priced higher than used
- Shorter time in storage
- Documented treatment follows the furniture
The most sustainable piece of furniture is the one no one had to buy again
A piece of furniture has most of its climate footprint behind it the day it is delivered. The use phase adds almost nothing.
That means the climate effect of restoring a piece instead of replacing it is nearly the entire emission of producing a new one. UpCycle® is the service that makes it practically possible — not as a principle, but as a job someone actually does.
We document every job: what was treated, when and with which product. It can be used directly in your own sustainability reporting, and follow the furniture on to its next owner.
Certified product and certified applicator
Restoring costly interiors demands the right method for the material. The wrong choice rarely shows until it is too late — and on a lot meant for resale, that is expensive.
