In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans sofas, couches and sectionals in Fort Lee, New Jersey, and across Bergen 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 Fort Lee: what to know
Sofas and sectionals in Fort Lee are cleaned in the room where they stand, which for most households is an apartment, since single family houses are just 21 percent of the borough's homes. The cleaning code on the sofa's tag comes first. That code and the look of the fabric settle the method: hot water extraction where the fabric can take water, a low moisture method where it cannot take much. Spots and the darkened places on arms and seat fronts are treated before the main cleaning. To see what cleaning has to work with, turn one loose seat cushion over before you call. The hidden face is closer to the color the fabric started with. The difference between the two faces is soil, sun fading or both, and cleaning acts on the soil alone. Tell us what you find, along with the number of seats.
A cleaning visit in Fort Lee
A Fort Lee visit is arranged with the building first and with us second. The rules of the house apply to owners and tenants alike, and the front desk or the management office can tell you what they are: the entrance and the elevator to use, the days and hours allowed, and where a work vehicle may wait. Ask a few days ahead and give us the answers with your floor. At a house, the driveway and the nearest door are what we ask about. Drying usually takes a few hours and varies with the material, the weather and the airflow, so keep the ventilation running afterward.
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 Fort Lee: questions, answered
Do you clean houses in Fort Lee as well as apartments?
Yes. Single family houses are 21 percent of Fort Lee homes, and we clean wall to wall carpet on their stairs and in their halls as well as in the rooms. For a house, tell us the rooms, the number of carpeted steps and where we can park. The quote is free and is worked out from the size, the material and the condition.
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.
