Carpet Cleaning in Coney Island, Brooklyn

Carpet in a Coney Island apartment fights a battle that most Brooklyn carpet does not: sand. It comes in on flip-flops, on beach bags and on the dog's paws after a walk near the water. You can vacuum every day and still feel grit under your feet.

Sand sinks to the bottom of the pile, where it grinds the fibers each time someone walks over it. That is why carpet near the beach wears faster and looks flat in the hallways.

Our method starts with a slow, strong vacuum pass to lift the loose sand. Then we use hot water extraction to rinse out the fine grit and the salty film, and we finish with a grooming pass so the pile stands up again.

Many Coney Island buildings have long hallways and carpeted bedrooms. Those rooms usually have one main path from the door to the window, and that path is where sand collects. We give it extra attention.

Salt in the air leaves a light film on carpet near open windows and balcony doors. It attracts moisture and dirt. Rinsing it out helps the carpet stay cleaner for longer.

Summer is our busiest season here. If you can, book in late spring or right after Labor Day. The carpet has fewer weeks of beach traffic to fight, and drying is quicker when the air is less humid.

In older towers, the service elevator may only run at certain hours. Ask your management office for a time and tell us when you book. We will be there inside that window.

Carpet near the ocean takes a little longer to dry, usually five to eight hours in summer. Run the air conditioner or put a fan in the doorway, and keep shoes off until the carpet is dry.

Some ground-floor apartments flooded during Hurricane Sandy, and some carpet was replaced since then. If your carpet ever got wet from below, tell us. We check the pad and the edges for signs of old water before we start.

A simple habit helps a lot between cleanings: a mat inside the door and a basket for beach shoes. Most of the sand never makes it past the entry.
