In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans sofas, couches and sectionals in Clifton, New Jersey, and across Passaic County. We read the fabric's cleaning code, vacuum, treat the arms, headrests and seat fronts, and clean cushion by cushion with hot water extraction or a low moisture method. Fabric is usually dry within a few hours. Quotes are free and based on the size of the piece.
Sofa cleaning in Clifton: what to know
In Clifton, 82 percent of homes are single family houses or apartments in buildings of 2 to 4 units, so the sofa is usually on the ground floor or one flight up, and we clean it right there. Which method we use depends on the cleaning code printed on the tag: water based for most synthetics, something drier for fabrics marked solvent only. After vacuuming, we pretreat the armrests and the seat fronts, clean the frame and the cushions, and set the cushions apart to dry. You can help by sliding the sofa a foot or so off the wall so the back and the sides can be reached. When you ask for a quote, describe the fabric as well as you can, even if all you can say is smooth, nubby or velvety, and count the seat cushions.
A cleaning visit in Clifton
A Clifton visit is usually a house call in the plain sense: a driveway, a front or side door, and one flight of stairs inside. Leave the driveway or the curb out front free if you can, and tell us which door is nearest the rooms being cleaned. Upstairs in a two family house, say if your stairs are private or shared. We walk through with you before starting and point out anything cleaning is unlikely to change. Carpet and upholstery are usually dry within a few hours. In the cold months, a warm house with a fan running dries faster than a cool, closed one.
How a sofa cleaning visit goes
We read the fabric
The cleaning code on the tag and a test in a hidden place tell us which method is safe.
We vacuum and treat
Loose soil comes out first. Arms, headrests, seat fronts and spots are treated before cleaning.
We clean each cushion
Every side of every cushion, then the frame, with the amount of moisture the fabric allows.
We set it to dry
Cushions are stood on edge so air reaches every side. The sofa is usually dry within a few hours.

Sofa cleaning in Clifton: questions, answered
Do you clean in Allwood, Athenia and Botany Village in Clifton?
Clifton is in Passaic County, one of the six counties we work in, and that includes its neighborhoods. When you call, give us the street and the kind of home, a single family house, a two family house or an apartment, so we know about the door, the stairs and the parking before we arrive.
How long until I can sit on the sofa again?
Usually a few hours. It depends on the fabric, the weather and the airflow in the room. Standing the cushions on edge and running a fan shortens the wait.
Will cleaning damage the fabric?
Not when the method follows the cleaning code. We read the tag and test a hidden place first. If a fabric is not safe to clean with water, we use a low moisture method or tell you it should not be wet cleaned.
Do you charge by the cushion or by the piece?
By the piece and its size. A quote is based on the sofa or sectional itself and the number of seats, with the fabric and the condition taken into account. Quotes are free.
Can you remove pet smells from a couch?
Often from the fabric, and not always from the core. A recent accident usually responds well. Urine that soaked into the foam of a cushion can leave a smell that surface cleaning improves without removing.
