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 Westfield: what to know
A Westfield sofa is cleaned where it stands, in a house from before 1940, as 37 percent of homes here are, or in one built since 2000. What changes the job is the fabric. Look under the seat cushions for the tag, which carries the cleaning code, and read the code out when you phone. Say too if the sofa wears a slipcover or if the cushion covers have zippers. A zipper is there for the upholsterer and does not mean the cover can go in the washer, where it may shrink or change shade. Covers are cleaned on their cushions for that reason. The arms, the headrests and the front of each seat, where skin oil collects, are treated first, and you hear what to expect before the cleaning starts. For a quote, count the seats, or the pieces of a sectional.
A cleaning visit in Westfield
At a Westfield house, move the cars to the street so the driveway is free, and tell us which level the work is on: the main floor, the bedrooms upstairs or a finished lower level. Clear one path from the door to those rooms. If a dog or a cat lives in the house, choose a room that is not being cleaned and keep it there while hoses cross the floors. The work begins with a look at each material and its spots, and you hear what to expect. Give everything a few hours to dry, with fans on and inside doors 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 Westfield: questions, answered
Will cleaning take out the dark lines along the baseboards in my Westfield home?
Partly, as a rule. Those lines are fine dust that moving air has left in the edge of the carpet, at the gap under the wall, and they hold on harder than ordinary soil. Cleaning usually lightens them and some shadow often stays. Show us where they are in your Westfield home and you will hear what to expect.
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.
