The homes of Clifton
Clifton lies between Paterson and Passaic in Passaic County, a city of about 89,400 people crossed by Route 3, Route 46 and the Garden State Parkway. Its roughly 34,600 homes are mostly houses. Census figures list 53 percent as single family and another 29 percent in buildings of 2 to 4 units, which leaves fewer than one home in five in anything larger. The number that says the most about Clifton is its age. Nearly seven in ten homes, 69 percent, were standing by 1960, and the median year built is 1951. In neighborhoods from Athenia and Allwood to Botany Village and Montclair Heights, that age is worth a word when you call, because it hints at what lies under a carpet and how the stairs are built, and we ask about both.
How a visit works here
A Clifton visit is usually a house call in the plain sense: a driveway, a front or side door, and one flight of stairs inside. Leave the driveway or the curb out front free if you can, and tell us which door is nearest the rooms being cleaned. Upstairs in a two family house, say if your stairs are private or shared. We walk through with you before starting and point out anything cleaning is unlikely to change. Carpet and upholstery are usually dry within a few hours. In the cold months, a warm house with a fan running dries faster than a cool, closed one.

Clifton: questions, answered
Do you clean carpeted stairs in Clifton houses?
Yes. We clean stair carpet one step at a time: the tread, the riser and the rounded edge. In Clifton, where 53 percent of homes are single family houses, stairs belong in any quote request, because they take more time than a room of similar size. Tell us the number of steps and mention a landing if there is one.
Is summer or winter the better season to clean carpet in Clifton?
Either works. Carpet usually dries within a few hours in any season, provided air moves through the room. In summer, run the air conditioning, since humid outdoor air slows drying. In winter, the heated air inside a closed Clifton house is dry, which helps, and a fan helps more.
Do you clean in Allwood, Athenia and Botany Village in Clifton?
Clifton is in Passaic County, one of the six counties we work in, and that includes its neighborhoods. When you call, give us the street and the kind of home, a single family house, a two family house or an apartment, so we know about the door, the stairs and the parking before we arrive.
