Sofa Cleaning in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn

Hauling a couch up to a parlor floor was hard enough once. Nobody wants to repeat that for a cleaning, so we bring everything to the living room instead.

Across the Heights we see tufted formal pieces in front rooms, deep sectionals in garden-level dens, and slim two-seaters in prewar co-op apartments.

Our process is low-moisture and gentle on frames, and the products are non-toxic and eco-safe.

Cushions come off first, and the deck, seams and crevices are vacuumed out. Crumbs, coins, dog hair and dust tend to live there.

Then the fabric is identified and spot-tested. Leather, velvet, linen, microfiber and performance weaves each call for something different.

Marks are treated one at a time. In family dens that means juice, chocolate, crayon and pet accidents; in formal rooms it is more often wine and the darker line where heads lean back.

The main pass lifts soil with strong suction and very little water, so the fabric is never soaked and the frame stays dry.

Zip-off covers are cleaned on their own when possible. They usually carry more soil than the frame, and treating them separately evens out the result.

Anyone who walks a dog to Brooklyn Bridge Park twice a day knows what comes home on paws. We neutralize odor at the source and remove hair before washing.

Sectionals and sleepers are no problem. We set aside enough time for every piece, and the sleeper mattress can be done too.

Light linen and cotton slipcovers are popular in the Heights. Some are safe to launder at home and some shrink badly, so we look at the label and advise before anyone puts them in a machine.

Sofas in the garden-level den get the most wear, from kids doing homework to movie nights. A cleaning there once or twice a year keeps fabric from going gray along the front edge.

Before we leave, every cushion is set back in place and the fabric is brushed so it dries smooth.

Sofas set in a sunny parlor window can fade on the side facing the glass. Cleaning lifts the dull film that makes fading look worse, and we can suggest a simple habit of rotating cushions.

Matching armchairs can go with our upholstery service, and the rest of the house is listed on the Brooklyn Heights page.
