In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans sofas, couches and sectionals in Montclair, New Jersey, and across Essex 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 Montclair: what to know
A sofa or a sectional stays in its own room for the cleaning, in an owned house or in one of the rented homes that make up 43 percent of Montclair's occupied total. The work begins with the tag. Upholstery carries a cleaning code there, and that code, together with a look at the fabric and its wear, decides the method. You can learn something useful before we come. Dampen a white cloth with plain water and press it for a few seconds on a place that never shows, such as the underside of a cushion. If color comes off on the cloth, tell us when you call, because a dye that moves that easily calls for a drier method. Add the seat count and the kind of fabric, and point out the arms and headrests if they have darkened.
A cleaning visit in Montclair
A visit to a Montclair house starts at the curb. Tell us if there is a driveway we can use and how many steps rise from it to the door, since a house set above the street means a longer carry. Inside, count the flights between the entry and the rooms being cleaned. For an apartment, give us the floor and ask the manager if outside work needs notice or a reserved elevator. We look over the carpet or the furniture with you first and say what to expect. Carpet and fabric need a few hours to dry, fewer when the doors between rooms stand open.
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 Montclair: questions, answered
Does your service area include Upper Montclair?
Upper Montclair is part of Montclair Township, and yes, the township is one we work in. Essex County, where it lies, is among the six counties of New Jersey that we cover. Tell us your street address when you call and we confirm the visit. We are open 24 hours, every day.
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.
