Upholstery cleaning in Newark: what to know
Upholstered pieces are quoted and cleaned one by one. A headboard, an ottoman, an armchair and a dining set each count separately. In Newark, where 23 percent of homes are single family houses and the rest share a building, the work is done in the room each piece belongs to, so we plan the order with you and keep a path clear between rooms. Every fabric has its own limits. We read the cleaning code on the tag and try the method on a hidden seam first, and if a cover should stay dry we tell you before anything is wet. Seat fronts and arm tops usually need the most attention. Before you call, write down each piece and its fabric, note which cushions come off, and mark the stains you already know about.
A cleaning visit in Newark
In a Newark two or three family house the front door and the stairs are often shared, so start by telling us which floor is yours and how many steps lead up to it. Hoses and tools go up by those inside stairs. In the apartment towers downtown, ask the management office if outside work must be booked and which elevator to use. On narrow blocks, such as those off Ferry Street in the Ironbound, a driveway or a spot held near the door saves a long carry. Afterward, keep air moving through the rooms. Carpet or fabric should feel dry in a few hours, sooner on a breezy day.

Upholstery cleaning in Newark: questions, answered
Do you clean carpet in two and three family houses in Newark?
Yes. Houses with two to four units hold 41 percent of Newark homes, so we plan for shared entries and inside stairs as a matter of course. Tell us which floor you live on and count the steps. It also helps to let the household you share the entry with know that hoses will cross the hall for a while.
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.
