The homes of Edison
Edison is a Middlesex County township of about 108,000 people, named for the inventor whose laboratory stood in its Menlo Park section. Route 1 and Route 27 both cross it. Census figures count roughly 39,200 homes, and 61 percent of them are single family houses. The next group is easy to overlook: 21 percent of homes sit in buildings of 5 to 19 units, the garden apartment and condominium complexes found in many parts of the township. By age, Edison belongs mostly to the decades after 1960. The median home dates from 1975, only 6 percent were standing before 1940, and about one in ten has gone up since 2000. Houses and apartments of those years were often finished with carpet laid wall to wall, on the stairs and through the bedrooms.
How a visit works here
Most visits in Edison begin in a driveway. At a single family house we park close to the door and need a clear path to the rooms being cleaned. In a garden apartment or a condominium complex, tell us the building number, the floor and where visitors may park, because the nearest space can be a long walk from the entrance. An upstairs unit reached by an outside stair is no trouble if we know in advance. Afterward, carpet and fabric usually dry within a few hours. Switch on the ceiling fans or the fan of your heating system, and expect a humid day to slow things down.
What we clean in Edison
Carpet cleaning in Edison
Three in five Edison homes are single family houses, and in a house the carpet that needs the most attention is rarely in the largest room. Stairs, the upstairs hall and the strip in front of each bedroom door soil faster than the bedrooms themselves, so we treat those lanes and any spots first and then clean the whole carpet.

Rug cleaning in Edison
About a quarter of Edison homes were built before 1960 and the rest came later, so an area rug here may lie on old hardwood, on newer laminate or on top of wall to wall carpet. Each of those changes how we work, because the rug is cleaned in place and whatever is beneath it has to be kept dry.

Sofa cleaning in Edison
A sofa is cleaned in the room where it stands, and that is as true in an Edison house as in one of the garden apartments that hold about a fifth of the township's homes. We begin with the tag, usually sewn under the seat cushions or on the deck beneath them, because its cleaning code tells us if the fabric can take water.

Upholstery cleaning in Edison
Upholstered pieces are quoted and cleaned one at a time: a dining chair seat, a recliner, an ottoman, a padded headboard. In Edison, renters live in 39 percent of occupied homes and owners in the rest, and the work is the same for both, done in the room with the furniture left where it is.

Mattress cleaning in Edison
Mattress cleaning happens on the bed itself, in the bedroom, with as little water as the job allows. In Edison, where 69 percent of homes are single family houses or sit in buildings of 2 to 4 units, that bedroom is often one flight up, and we bring what we need to it.

Edison: questions, answered
Do you clean carpet in garden apartments and condos in Edison?
Yes. Census figures place about 30 percent of Edison homes in buildings that hold five or more units each, and we work in those just as we do in houses. Give us the building and unit number, the floor and the visitor parking rules, and check if your management office wants to hear about outside contractors beforehand.
What does a carpet cleaning quote depend on in Edison?
On three things: the area to be cleaned, the fiber and the state the carpet is in. The quote itself is free. An Edison house with carpeted stairs and several bedrooms is a different job from a one bedroom apartment, so tell us the rooms, the number of steps and any pet stains.
Can I have a sofa or a mattress cleaned in Edison on a weekend?
Yes. We are open 24 hours on all seven days, Saturday and Sunday included. Tell us which pieces you have in mind, their size and the fabric if you know it. Plan for the sofa to dry within hours, longer in humid weather, and for a mattress to take 24 to 72 hours, depending on the season.
