In short

Fabric is usually dry within a few hours. Quotes are free and based on the size of the piece.
Sofa cleaning in Jersey City: what to know
A sofa or a sectional is cleaned in the room where it sits. For the 38 percent of Jersey City homes in large buildings that means an elevator ride for our equipment, and for much of the rest it means a staircase, so say which one applies when you call. The fabric decides the method. The tag's cleaning code is read first, a hidden spot is tested, and the arms and headrests, where skin and hair leave the most soil, are treated before the rest is cleaned. You hear beforehand what to expect, including what will stay the same, such as fading from sunlight or fabric worn thin. Before the visit, take off the throws and loose pillows, empty the gaps between the cushions, and find the tag, which is often under a seat cushion.
A cleaning visit in Jersey City
The first thing we ask in Jersey City is how we reach your door. In a tower, check with the management office about a service elevator and whether outside work has to be booked ahead, since some buildings keep set hours for it. In a brownstone or a two family house, tell us how many flights there are and whether the stairs turn. Street parking is limited on many blocks, so mention a driveway, a garage or a loading area if you have one. Drying usually takes a few hours. It goes faster with windows open or the air running and slower in damp weather or on thick fiber.
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 Jersey City: questions, answered
Do you clean offices and shops in Jersey City, or only homes?
Both. A store, an office or a waiting room gets the same service a home does: wall to wall carpet, area rugs and upholstered seating, cleaned on the premises. For a workplace, give us the floor area or the room count, the type of carpet and a list of the furniture. We are open 24 hours a day, and the quote is free.
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.
