furniture cleaning question

[myntik1]

I'm trying to hold off on purchasing new living room furniture for another year because of my son Mr. Granola Hands as he's affectionately called.  The furniture is starting to look a bit tired, has anyone used a upholstery furniture cleaning service before.  And if so were the results good (I'm not looking for dramatic), just good for the hundred bucks or so.  I was thinking about renting a steam machine and having at it, but I'm not sure I would get decent results.
