The homes of Newark
Newark is the seat of Essex County, a city of about 310,000 people on the Passaic River. Census figures count roughly 121,500 homes here, and the largest single group is the small multifamily house: 41 percent of homes are counted in buildings of 2 to 4 units, which here means the two and three family houses found in all five wards. Another 22 percent are in buildings of 20 units or more, which takes in the apartment towers around Broad Street downtown, and 23 percent are single family houses. Three in four homes are rented. The stock is mixed in age as well. The median home was built in 1966, 24 percent date from before 1940, and 18 percent have gone up since 2000.
How a visit works here
In a Newark two or three family house the front door and the stairs are often shared, so start by telling us which floor is yours and how many steps lead up to it. Hoses and tools go up by those inside stairs. In the apartment towers downtown, ask the management office if outside work must be booked and which elevator to use. On narrow blocks, such as those off Ferry Street in the Ironbound, a driveway or a spot held near the door saves a long carry. Afterward, keep air moving through the rooms. Carpet or fabric should feel dry in a few hours, sooner on a breezy day.
What we clean in Newark
Carpet cleaning in Newark
Three in four Newark homes are rented, and 41 percent are in houses of two to four units, where the stairs and the hall carry every trip in and out. Those are the parts of a carpet that soil first, so that is where we begin: the traffic lanes and the spots are treated ahead of the main cleaning.

Rug cleaning in Newark
About a quarter of Newark homes went up before 1940, among them the large old houses of Forest Hill in the North Ward. Whatever the age of the house, we clean an area rug where it lies, so the first questions are about the rug and the floor under it.

Sofa cleaning in Newark
With 77 percent of Newark homes in buildings that hold more than one household, we clean a sofa or a sectional in the room where it stands, and nothing is carried out past the neighbors. Start by finding the tag, usually under a seat cushion or on the underside of the frame.

Mattress cleaning in Newark
A mattress has to be dry before the sheets go back on, so in mattress cleaning the airflow of the bedroom counts as much as the method. Newark homes span a wide range of ages, with a median year built of 1966 and 43 percent dating from before 1960, and bedrooms differ in how well they air.

Newark: questions, answered
Do you clean carpet in two and three family houses in Newark?
Yes. Houses with two to four units hold 41 percent of Newark homes, so we plan for shared entries and inside stairs as a matter of course. Tell us which floor you live on and count the steps. It also helps to let the household you share the entry with know that hoses will cross the hall for a while.
Can you clean a sofa or a mattress in a Newark apartment tower?
Yes. Sofas, sectionals and mattresses are cleaned inside the apartment, so nothing has to leave the building. Check with building management about scheduling outside work and about the elevator we should take, then pass that on when you ask for a quote, along with your floor.
Are you open on weekends for cleaning in Newark?
Yes. Saturday and Sunday are working days like any other, and the phone is answered around the clock. Newark is in Essex County, which is among the six New Jersey counties we cover. A quote is free. Give us the list of rooms or furniture and say how worn or stained things are, and we will say what the cleaning is likely to achieve.
