Carpet Cleaning in Upper East Side, Manhattan

Plenty of co-op buildings on the Upper East Side have a rule that most of each floor must be covered, to keep footsteps from carrying into the apartment below. So even in homes with beautiful parquet, you often find carpet in the bedrooms, the hall and the den.

Our crew deep cleans that carpet with hot water extraction. First the busiest paths and any spots are treated. Then a wand pushes heated water into the pile and a strong vacuum pulls it back out, taking the loosened soil with it.

A lot of co-ops only let contractors in on weekdays, often between morning and late afternoon, and want the service elevator reserved. If you send us the building's rules, we pick a start time that leaves plenty of room before the cut-off.

Townhouse carpet wears out on the staircase first. The nose of each step takes the hit every time someone goes up or down, so the technician works the stairs by hand, one tread and riser at a time.

In a Yorkville walk-up, the gear goes up the stairs with us. Let us know the floor and we will bring the right setup for the climb.

Before a co-op apartment goes on the market, or when new owners move in, the carpet is often the first thing people want refreshed. We can time the visit around a move or a showing.

Some rooms barely get used, like a formal living room kept for guests. Even so, city dust drifts in through the windows and settles into the fibers, and the carpet slowly loses its color.

In January and February, sidewalk salt from the avenues ends up on the carpet by the front door. Rinsing it out with hot water usually brings back the softness.

Drying normally takes four to six hours. Cracking a window or turning on the AC helps. We use eco-safe, non-toxic products, so the kids and the dog do not need to leave.
