The homes of Paterson
Paterson, the seat of Passaic County, grew up around the Great Falls of the Passaic River and the mills the falls once powered. About 159,000 people live here in some 52,500 homes, and the Census figures describe a city of small multifamily houses. More than half of all homes, 55 percent, sit in buildings of 2 to 4 units, the two and three family houses that line block after block. One home in five is a single family house, and 14 percent belong to buildings with 20 or more units. Nearly three in four occupied homes are rented. The housing is old without being uniform: a third of it predates 1940, and the median home was built in 1954. For a cleaning visit that usually means an inside staircase and a neighbor or a landlord on another floor.
How a visit works here
In a Paterson two or three family house, the way in is usually a shared front door and one staircase that serves every floor. Tell us which floor is yours and if the stairs turn or narrow, and let the other floors know the hall will be in use while we work. Parking is on the street on many blocks, so mention a driveway or a space behind the house if we may use one. Drying takes a few hours in most rooms. Two windows on different sides of an apartment, each opened a little, move more air than one window opened wide.

Rug cleaning in Paterson
Rugs are cleaned where they lie, and in Paterson that is often an upper floor of a house built long ago: Census figures date 59 percent of the city's homes before 1960. An old floor with a neighbor's ceiling below it is a reason to use water sparingly, and sparing use suits rugs anyway.

Upholstery cleaning in Paterson
Chairs, ottomans and headboards are smaller jobs than a sofa, yet they ask for the same care. About a quarter of Paterson homes belong to buildings with five units or more, and many of the rest are apartments inside two and three family houses, so we plan to work in whatever space the room gives us.

Paterson: questions, answered
Can you clean the hall and stair carpet in a two family house in Paterson?
Yes. Shared stairs and halls soil faster than any room, and Paterson has a great many of them, since two and three family houses hold more than half of the city's homes. Count the steps and the landings for the quote, and arrange for everyone in the house to keep off the stairs until they dry.
I rent my apartment in Paterson. Can I arrange a cleaning myself?
Yes. You do not need to own the home to call us, and about three in four occupied homes in Paterson are rented. Tell us the floor, the rooms and the furniture you want cleaned. If the job includes a shared hall or a parking space that belongs to the owner, clear it with your landlord first.
Will cleaning take old pet stains out of a carpet in Paterson?
Sometimes, and we tell you which before we start. A recent accident that stayed in the carpet fibers usually cleans up well. Urine that soaked through to the pad or the floor beneath it, which can happen where a carpet has been down for many years, may leave a shadow or a smell that no surface cleaning reaches.
