The homes of Passaic
The city of Passaic sits on the west bank of the Passaic River, with Clifton on its other three sides and Main Avenue running through its center. It is compact and old. Census figures count about 21,700 homes for roughly 70,000 people, and more than half of those homes, 58 percent, were built before 1940. So many predate that year that the Census Bureau reports no single median year for the city. Only 5 percent have been built since 2000. The buildings come in every size: those of 2 to 4 units hold 36 percent of the homes, those of 5 to 19 units hold 29 percent, and those with 20 or more units hold 16 percent. Single family houses account for 19 percent. Three in four occupied homes are rented.
How a visit works here
Most homes in Passaic are apartments in older buildings, so a few plain questions shape the visit. We ask how many flights lead to your door, if the building has an elevator, and if a superintendent or a landlord has to let us in. Parking near the entrance is the other thing to settle early: if the building has a lot or a driveway, ask if we may use it. Once the cleaning is done, keep air moving. An apartment with windows on one side only dries more slowly, so set a fan in the doorway and let it run for the few hours that drying usually takes.
What we clean in Passaic
Carpet cleaning in Passaic
About 45 percent of the homes in Passaic are apartments in buildings of five units or more, and many others are apartments in two to four family houses, so carpet cleaning here means working above or beside someone else's home. That guides how much water we use and where the hoses run.

Passaic: questions, answered
Do you clean in walk up apartment buildings in Passaic?
Yes. A walk up is no obstacle, and in Passaic it is the common case: Census figures show that 81 percent of homes in the city share a building with at least one other home. Let us know the floor and the number of flights, and tell your landlord or super if the building asks for notice.
My building in Passaic is very old. Is it safe to clean the carpet with water?
Yes, with the right method. More than half of the homes in Passaic were built before 1940, so old floors under the carpet are common here. Hot water extraction draws back much of the water it puts down, and where the carpet or the floor calls for less, we use a low moisture method instead.
Do you clean apartments for landlords between tenants in Passaic?
Yes. We clean carpet in rented homes as well as owned ones, and renters hold 76 percent of the occupied homes in Passaic. An empty apartment is the simplest kind to work in. Tell us the number of rooms, say if the hall or the stairs are included, and let us know who will open the door.
