The homes of Bloomfield
The median home in Bloomfield dates from 1950, and 38 percent of the township's homes are older than 1940. This is an Essex County township of about 53,800 people, with Bloomfield Avenue and Broad Street meeting at its center and the Garden State Parkway running through. Census figures count roughly 21,800 homes and show an even split in who lives in them: owners in half and renters in half. The buildings are mixed too. Single family houses are 45 percent of homes, two to four family houses hold another 28 percent, and 19 percent are in apartment buildings of 20 units or more. So a cleaning visit here may mean a whole house, the upstairs of a two family or an apartment down a shared hall, and the first thing we ask is which.
How a visit works here
Three questions settle most of a Bloomfield visit before we arrive: which floor, which door and where to park. If the house is a two family, say if you are upstairs or down and if the driveway is shared with the other household. In an apartment building, name the floor and ask the manager if notice is wanted. At a single family house a clear driveway is enough. Inside, the first step is a look at the material and the spots that bother you. Most carpet and fabric dries within a few hours, sooner when the day is dry and the windows are open.
What we clean in Bloomfield
Carpet cleaning in Bloomfield
Single family houses and two to four family houses together hold 73 percent of Bloomfield homes, and in a house the wear on a carpet is uneven: heavy at the doors, on the stairs and along the hall, light under the beds. We look at the fiber and those worn lanes first and tell you how much of the gray is soil that should lift and how much is fiber walked flat.

Rug cleaning in Bloomfield
An area rug in Bloomfield may lie in a house built before 1960, as 64 percent of the township's homes were, or in one of the 11 percent built since 2000. Either way it is cleaned where it lies, and the rug decides the method.

Sofa cleaning in Bloomfield
Renters and owners each hold about half of Bloomfield's occupied homes, and the sofa is cleaned the same way for both: in place, after a look at the fabric and the tag. The code on that tag says if the fabric takes a water based cleaning or needs a drier one.

Upholstery cleaning in Bloomfield
Each upholstered piece is its own job: the armchair, the set of dining chairs, the ottoman, the headboard. In Bloomfield, where 55 percent of homes share their building with at least one other household, the pieces are cleaned in the rooms they belong to, and nothing has to go down the stairs.

Mattress cleaning in Bloomfield
A mattress is the one thing we clean that cannot be left damp at bedtime, so the plan starts with the clock. Ask for the cleaning on a day when the bed can stand bare for 24 to 72 hours afterward, depending on the season, with the window up or a fan going.

Bloomfield: questions, answered
Do you steam clean carpet in Bloomfield homes?
For most carpet, yes. Steam cleaning is the everyday name for hot water extraction, and that is the method for most synthetic carpet in Bloomfield homes. Wool and some other materials do better with a low moisture method. We decide after looking at the carpet, and you hear the choice and the reason before we start.
Should carpet be cleaned before or after I move into a Bloomfield apartment?
Before, if you can. An empty room lets the whole floor be reached and gives the carpet its few hours of drying with nothing standing on it. Renters hold 49 percent of Bloomfield's occupied homes, and if you are one of them, ask the owner first if the carpet is theirs to have cleaned.
How soon can we walk on the carpet after a cleaning in Bloomfield?
Right away, in clean socks or indoor shoes. The carpet stays damp for a few hours as a rule, more or fewer according to the fiber, the weather and the airflow in your Bloomfield home. Until it is dry, keep street shoes off it and wait to slide furniture back, since damp carpet can take a stain from wood or metal feet.
