Upholstery cleaning in Montclair: what to know
One piece at a time is the rule for upholstered furniture: an armchair, a set of dining chairs, an ottoman or a headboard is cleaned as its own fabric allows. Owners live in 57 percent of Montclair's occupied homes and tenants in the others, and in both the furniture stays in its room while we work. The tag comes first, since it carries the cleaning code. An older piece may have lost its tag, or may still wear a cover that has grown thin with age. Mention it when you call. A worn or sun weakened fabric can be too fragile for wet cleaning, and it is better to hear that before the work than after. You will be told what cleaning can and cannot do for each piece. For the quote we need the number of pieces and the fabrics you know.
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.

Upholstery cleaning in Montclair: questions, answered
Do you clean apartments in Montclair, or only houses?
Both. Close to half of Montclair homes, 47 percent, share a building with other households, so apartments are everyday work here. Say which floor you are on and how we get in, and ask your building manager if outside work needs notice. In a house, the driveway and the stairs are what we need to hear about.
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.
