Upholstery Cleaning in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn

Furniture in the Heights often comes with a backstory: armchairs from a grandmother's apartment, dining chairs bought for a first brownstone, a cushion cut to fit a curved bay window. Pieces like these are worth keeping, and keeping clean.

Some front rooms are opened only for holidays, while the den downstairs gets crumbs, juice boxes and a dog every day. The first gathers dust and fades; the second gathers spills.

We treat upholstery in your home using minimal moisture and non-toxic products, after reading or testing every fabric.

Our starting point is the cleaning code on the tag, which shows whether a fabric tolerates water, needs a dry solvent, or both. Plenty of older pieces here have lost their tags, so a hidden-seam test takes its place.

Silk, velvet, linen and vintage wool blends turn up often in Heights sitting rooms. They can shrink, ring or crush if handled roughly, which is why the touch stays light.

Dining seats get attention for oil and wine before the general clean. Armrests and headrests, which pick up hand and hair oils, get a second pass.

Carved legs, exposed frames and decorative nail heads stay dry. Solution goes onto the fabric only.

Cushions by tall parlor windows often fade on the sunny side. Cleaning cannot put dye back, but lifting the gray film of dust makes the color look truer.

Allergy-prone households notice a difference, since years of pollen, dust and pet dander come out of the padding.

Most chairs are ready to sit on within a few hours, and we brush the nap so it dries evenly.

Bay windows and window seats are part of many Heights houses. Their long cushions can be cleaned in place, and we check the foam inside for any damp from condensation on the glass.

We also handle footstools, upholstered benches at the end of a bed, and the padded seats of a breakfast nook.

If you are selling the house or getting ready for a showing, clean chairs and cushions help the rooms photograph better.

For the couch, our Heights sofa service follows the same careful approach, and the rug beneath can go out with our rug pickup.
