Upholstery cleaning in Clifton: what to know
Each upholstered piece in a home is its own small job. That holds for the recliner, the dining set, the ottoman and the headboard, in the 53 percent of Clifton homes that are single family houses and in the apartments that make up the rest. We find the code on the tag, try a patch that nobody will see, and settle on the gentlest method that still moves the soil. Wood arms and legs are kept dry while the fabric beside them is cleaned. If you have already tried a spot remover on a stain, tell us which one and when. Some store products leave a residue or set the stain, and knowing that changes how we approach it and what we tell you to expect. For the quote, list each piece and say which have loose 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.

Upholstery cleaning in Clifton: questions, answered
Do you clean carpeted stairs in Clifton houses?
Yes. We clean stair carpet one step at a time: the tread, the riser and the rounded edge. In Clifton, where 53 percent of homes are single family houses, stairs belong in any quote request, because they take more time than a room of similar size. Tell us the number of steps and mention a landing if there is one.
Can you clean velvet without crushing the pile?
Usually, with care. We test first and use the gentlest method that will clean it, most often low moisture, then groom the pile in one direction while it dries. Some velvets should not be wet cleaned, and we say so.
Do you clean seating for offices, halls and houses of worship?
Yes. Rows of upholstered chairs are cleaned seat and back, row by row. Tell us how many chairs there are and when the room is free, and we plan the visit for an hour that suits you, nights and weekends included.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Usually a few hours. Thin seat fabric dries faster than a thick cushion. Air moving through the room helps more than heat.
What does the cleaning code on the tag mean?
It says what the fabric can be cleaned with. W is water based cleaning, S is solvent only, WS is either and X is vacuuming only. We read it before we choose a method.
