The homes of Jersey City

Jersey City, the seat of Hudson County, reaches from the Hudson River waterfront across to the Hackensack River and Newark Bay, and its roughly 135,000 homes change with the neighborhood. Census figures place 38 percent of them in buildings holding 20 units or more, which is the story of the towers at Newport, Exchange Place and Journal Square. About a third are in houses and small buildings of two to four units, the pattern on many blocks of the Heights and Greenville, and 14 percent are single family houses. The housing is old and new in nearly equal measure: 29 percent of homes date from before 1940, among them the brownstone rows around Hamilton Park and Van Vorst Park, and 30 percent have gone up since 2000. Almost three in four occupied homes are rented.

How a visit works here

The first thing we ask in Jersey City is how we reach your door. In a tower, check with the management office about a service elevator and whether outside work has to be booked ahead, since some buildings keep set hours for it. In a brownstone or a two family house, tell us how many flights there are and whether the stairs turn. Street parking is limited on many blocks, so mention a driveway, a garage or a loading area if you have one. Drying usually takes a few hours. It goes faster with windows open or the air running and slower in damp weather or on thick fiber.

What we clean in Jersey City

Carpet cleaning in Jersey City

More than half of Jersey City homes, 54 percent, are in buildings of five units or more, so wall to wall carpet here is often cleaned several floors up, beside a hallway that other people use. We look at the fiber and the wear first, treat the spots and the traffic lanes, and then clean the carpet.

Rug cleaning in Jersey City

Area rugs in Jersey City are cleaned where they lie, which suits a city where 86 percent of homes are stacked or joined with others in one building. We begin by naming the fiber and testing the dyes in a corner, because a rug whose colors run cannot be wet cleaned the way a colorfast one can.

Sofa cleaning in Jersey City

A sofa or a sectional is cleaned in the room where it sits. For the 38 percent of Jersey City homes in large buildings that means an elevator ride for our equipment, and for much of the rest it means a staircase, so say which one applies when you call.

Upholstery cleaning in Jersey City

Each armchair, dining chair, ottoman and headboard is cleaned on its own, in the room where it is used. In Jersey City only 14 percent of homes are single family houses, so that room is usually in an apartment, and we set up in whatever floor space there is.

Mattress cleaning in Jersey City

No bed should be made over a damp mattress, so in Jersey City the plan starts with the air in the bedroom. The rooms differ as much as the buildings do, with 29 percent of homes built before 1940 and 30 percent built since 2000.

Jersey City: questions, answered

Can you clean carpet and furniture in a Jersey City high rise?

Yes. Large buildings are a big part of the city, with 38 percent of homes in buildings of 20 units or more. Before you book, ask the management office if outside work needs a reservation or a service elevator, then give us the floor and tell us where a van can stop.

Will cleaning get old pet stains out of the carpet in my Jersey City rental?

Sometimes. A recent accident usually responds well, but urine that soaked through to the pad is beyond the reach of a surface cleaning, and a mark or a smell may remain. We look at the spots and tell you what to expect before any work begins, so you can decide with the facts in hand.

Do you clean offices and shops in Jersey City, or only homes?

Both. A store, an office or a waiting room gets the same service a home does: wall to wall carpet, area rugs and upholstered seating, cleaned on the premises. For a workplace, give us the floor area or the room count, the type of carpet and a list of the furniture. We are open 24 hours a day, and the quote is free.
