Upholstery CleaningLong Island, NY

Read the tag first

Under almost every cushion is a cleaning code. W means water-based cleaning is safe, S means solvent only, W/S allows either, and X means vacuum only. Getting this wrong is how sofas end up with brown rings, shrunken covers or a stiff, rough feel. We check the code and spot-test a hidden area before anything else.

Cotton, linen and rayon blends need gentle, low-moisture cleaning. Microfiber usually cleans best with a solvent and a brush. Durable synthetics like polyester and olefin can take a full hot water rinse.

What the clean includes

We vacuum the crevices and under the cushions, pre-treat the arms, headrests and seat fronts where body oils build up, and treat spills and pet spots separately. Then we clean the whole piece so it dries evenly, not just the stained areas, which is what causes water lines.

Most sofas take about an hour and are dry in 2 to 6 hours. Removable cushion covers are cleaned on the frame; we never put them in a washing machine, which can shrink them and make them impossible to zip back on.

Dining chairs, recliners and more

Fabric dining chairs are one of the most common requests on Long Island, especially before holidays. We also clean recliners, ottomans, headboards, office chairs and car seats. Leather is cleaned with a pH-balanced cleaner and conditioned afterward.
