Living room couches and sectionals in Parkchester, cleaned without leaving the apartment and dry within hours.
Getting a sofa into a Parkchester apartment means tipping it into an elevator and around a corridor corner, so once it is in, nobody wants to take it out again. That is one reason sofa cleaning makes sense here: it extends the life of a piece that was hard to bring home.
In a compact living room the sofa is also the busiest seat. It is the TV spot, the guest bed and the place where the cat sleeps in the afternoon sun.
We clean it in place. The crew covers the floor, slides it out a little if it is against the wall, and cleans the frame, arms, back and every cushion.
Most sofas sold in recent years are microfiber or polyester blends, which handle hot water extraction well. Covers made of linen, cotton or another natural fiber are treated with a damp-only approach, since soaking them leaves water lines. A quick test settles which route to take.
The first pass is a deep vacuum of the seams and crevices. Then the arms and the top of the back, where hands and heads rest, are pre-treated, along with any food or drink spots. After that comes the full clean.
Zippered covers remain on the foam while we work. Pulling them off for a machine wash is the classic way to end up with covers that will not close.
Apartment pets shed onto the sofa more than anywhere else. Shed fur gets raked out of the weave with a rubber tool before any washing, and an enzyme product handles any urine or strong odor. Nothing we leave behind is harmful to animals after it dries.
Sleeper sofas are common in smaller units where there is no guest room. We can open the bed and clean that mattress during the same visit.
Light-colored sofas are popular in bright apartments, and they show every mark. Denim dye from jeans, pen and makeup are common. Many of these can be lifted with the right spotter, and we tell you honestly which ones will only fade.
Expect a few hours of drying. Turn on the air conditioner or point a fan at it, and by dinner it is usually ready for company.
