Upholstery Cleaning in Downtown & FiDi, Manhattan

Furniture in a Downtown apartment leads a busy life. Dining chairs host friends after work, the accent chair by the floor-to-ceiling glass becomes a reading spot, and the padded bench at the door catches every gym bag and grocery tote.

All of it is cleaned on site. Loose dust and crumbs are vacuumed out first. Then the care label is read, if there is one, a hidden patch is tested, and the method is chosen to suit what the fabric can take.

Delicate weaves get a low-moisture process, so they are never soaked and they are ready again sooner.

Check the front lip of each seat and the top rail of the chair back. Those are the first places to darken. Food marks on dining seats and makeup on fabric headboards turn up in nearly every Downtown home we visit.

Furnished rentals are common in Lower Manhattan, and the chairs that came with the unit may have years of use behind them that you know nothing about. Cleaning them is an easy way to make the place feel like yours.

A lingering stale smell, even with the windows open, usually means odor has settled into the foam. A proper cleaning reaches below the surface fabric.

Lower Manhattan is full of small firms, co-working floors and residential lobbies with fabric chairs and sofas. We can come before staff arrive, after they leave or on a Saturday, so nobody has to work around us.

Send a rough count of the pieces and, if you know it, the fabric type. You get a free quote before anything is booked.

Office chairs with mesh backs and fabric seats are cleaned carefully around the mechanism, and armrests are wiped as well.

In homes and offices alike, the products are eco-safe and non-toxic. Typical drying time is two to four hours with the air running.

The sofa can be done on the same visit through Downtown sofa cleaning, and the Downtown and FiDi page has everything else. For a price, phone 1-800-589-4364.
