Upholstery cleaning in Teaneck: what to know
An upholstered piece is cleaned where it is used, and in Teaneck that is usually a house: single family houses plus the two to four unit kind hold 83 percent of the township's homes. Armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans and headboards are each quoted and cleaned as a piece. Before you call, give each one a slow look and a light touch. Run a hand over the arms and along the front edge of the seat, and tell us of any place where the fabric has gone thin, split or turned brittle. Cleaning takes soil out of cloth and does not put strength back into it, so a worn cover may call for a gentler method or for being left alone. The cleaning code on the tag and what we see on the day decide the method. You hear our view of each piece before we begin.
A cleaning visit in Teaneck
At a Teaneck house, tell us where we can park, which door to use and how the stairs run, straight up or with a turn at a landing. In an apartment, give us the floor and the building's rules for outside work. Carpet and fabric tend to dry in a few hours, with the material, the weather and the airflow setting the pace. Some older houses are heated by radiators and have no system fan to move the air. If yours is one, have a box fan ready and open windows on opposite sides when the weather is dry.

Upholstery cleaning in Teaneck: questions, answered
Is old wall to wall carpet in a Teaneck house still worth cleaning?
That depends on how much of what you see is soil and how much is wear. Three in four Teaneck homes were built before 1960, and carpet that has been down a long time can be both dirty and worn. Soil is what a cleaning takes out. Flattened or thinned pile stays as it is. We look at the carpet first and tell you which you have.
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.
