Sofa Cleaning in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn

In a Bed-Stuy brownstone, a sofa sometimes has to come in through the front window on ropes, or up a stair with a turn so tight the movers took the legs off. Once it is in, nobody wants to move it again. We do not ask you to.

Long, narrow parlor rooms usually have one big couch against the long wall or across from the fireplace. That one seat takes the family, the guests, the takeout dinners and the dog who knows he is not allowed up there.

The crew sets up a compact machine on a mat, cleans around the frame and leaves the room as it was. Nothing goes down the stoop.

Some owners keep a second, smaller couch on the garden floor for a home office or a tenant's unit. We can clean both on one trip and give you a single price before we begin.

We lift every cushion off before anything else. Under them, on the deck of the sofa, is where coins, crumbs, hair and dust collect, and getting that out first keeps it from turning into mud during the wash.

Next, the technician looks closely at marks and asks what caused them if you know. Red wine, cooking grease, ink and pet accidents each need their own pre-spray, and the right one makes a big difference.

Modern sectionals in renovated units are often light gray, cream or white. They look great and show everything. We spend extra time on the arm tops and the front edge of the seats, where hands and legs rub every day.

Garden-floor apartments get less light and a bit more damp than the upper floors. A couch down there can pick up a musty smell over a long winter. Cleaning removes it, and keeping the air moving helps it stay gone.

Hair from cats and dogs is pulled out with a rubber tool before cleaning, and the odor is treated down in the fabric. Power recliners and sleeper sofas get a method that keeps water clear of motors and metal frames.

Most couches are dry enough to use later that day, usually in two to four hours; tall ceilings and an open window help. For chairs, headboards and dining seats, see upholstery cleaning in Bed-Stuy.
