Upholstery Cleaning in East Village, Manhattan

East Village apartments are full of furniture with a story. An armchair from a stoop sale, chairs from a vintage shop around the corner, a headboard that came with a sublet. These pieces have character, and many have years of dust and old spills too.

We clean upholstery where it is. We test the fabric in a hidden spot, check for a cleaning code, and choose a method that suits it. Delicate fabrics get a low-moisture clean so they are never soaked.

Used furniture often has no tag, so we test carefully. We look at how the fabric reacts to water and to our cleaning solution before treating the whole piece. If a fabric cannot be wet-cleaned safely, we tell you instead of guessing.

Old smells are the most common complaint with secondhand chairs: smoke, a previous pet, or simply a damp storage room. Our deodorizing treatment works into the padding, not only the surface.

Small apartments mean the chair is also a desk chair, a dinner seat and a place to drop a coat. Arms and seat fronts turn dark first, and we give them extra time.

Cafes, bars and restaurants along First and Second Avenues have booths, banquettes and stools that see a lot of spills. We can clean them early in the morning, before service.

Give the fabric two to four hours to dry. Everything we apply is non-toxic and eco-safe, so nobody needs to leave the apartment.

Small kitchens mean dining chairs sit right next to the stove, and a film of cooking grease settles on the seats. That film holds dirt, so we break it down before the main clean.

Window seats with fitted cushions are a lovely feature in some older apartments, and they collect dust from the street below. The cushions are cleaned in place, on both sides.

Fabric headboards in tight bedrooms get bumped, leaned on and touched every night. We clean them without moving the bed away from the wall.
