Carpet Cleaning in Kingsbridge, Bronx

In a typical Kingsbridge apartment, the carpet is where the hardwood was never refinished: the bedrooms, the long hall from the foyer, sometimes a child's room laid with a soft, cheap broadloom by a past tenant. In the small houses on the side streets, carpet usually covers the inside stairs and the upstairs bedrooms.

These carpets live a hard life. People come straight in from Broadway, the park trails or the subway platform, and the dirt they carry ends up in the first few feet inside the door and along the hall.

Our technicians move beds, dressers and chairs out of the way and set them back when the carpet is done, so you can leave the room as it is.

We start in the hallway, because that is where Kingsbridge carpets show the most wear. The technician checks the fiber, then sprays the path from the door and any dark lanes with a pre-treatment that loosens oily street soil. After a few minutes of dwell time, the whole carpet is cleaned with hot-water extraction.

Pre-war buildings here have steam radiators, and the area right in front of them often has a dusty gray band where warm air carries dirt into the pile. We give that strip its own treatment so it matches the rest of the room.

Lots of Kingsbridge households have a dog who gets walked in Van Cortlandt Park twice a day. Muddy paws and the occasional accident leave spots that smell again on humid days. Those areas get an enzyme treatment that breaks down the source, not just a perfume.

In elevator buildings, the hoses travel with us in the elevator, and we stay aware of neighbors coming and going in the hall. In a walk-up, the equipment comes up by hand, which is routine for us.

The carpet will feel damp but not wet when we leave. With windows open or a fan running it is usually dry before evening. In winter, the radiator heat dries it even faster.

Tenants moving out often book a carpet cleaning to get the apartment ready for inspection. Landlords and supers call us between tenants for the same reason, and we can usually fit a vacant unit in on short notice.

If the stairs in a two-story house are carpeted, each step is cleaned with a hand tool and the corners are worked by hand, where the vacuum does not reach.

If there is a rug on the living room floor, we can take it with us; see area rug cleaning in Kingsbridge.
