Upholstery cleaning in Jersey City: what to know
Each armchair, dining chair, ottoman and headboard is cleaned on its own, in the room where it is used. In Jersey City only 14 percent of homes are single family houses, so that room is usually in an apartment, and we set up in whatever floor space there is. Every fabric is checked before it is wet. The tag gives a cleaning code, a hidden corner gets a test, and the outcome decides between hot water extraction and a gentler low moisture pass. Some fabrics cannot take water safely, and if yours is one of them you will hear that first. To get an accurate quote, write down each piece and whether its cushions lift out, and mention any spot that has already been treated with a store bought cleaner.
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.

Upholstery cleaning in Jersey City: questions, answered
Can you clean carpet and furniture in a Jersey City high rise?
Yes. Large buildings are a big part of the city, with 38 percent of homes in buildings of 20 units or more. Before you book, ask the management office if outside work needs a reservation or a service elevator, then give us the floor and tell us where a van can stop.
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.
