Upholstery Cleaning in Upper East Side, Manhattan

Walk into many Upper East Side apartments and you will see furniture from different decades side by side: a newer sectional, a pair of inherited wing chairs, dining chairs covered in silk or damask. The older pieces are usually the ones people worry about.

Before any product touches the fabric, our technician reads the cleaning code under the cushion or on the tag and tries the chosen solution on a hidden spot. Only after that test passes does the real cleaning begin, in your home.

If your co-op sets contractor hours or wants notice through the managing agent, tell us and we will plan around it.

Arms and headrests tell the story. A darker or shiny patch where hands and hair rest is body oil that has built up in the weave.

Pieces in sunny rooms facing the park or a wide avenue tend to look tired sooner. Sun fading is permanent, but clearing out the dust can make the color look brighter than you expect.

Furniture on the Upper East Side often goes back to the upholsterer more than once. A chair re-covered ten years ago may wear a modern fabric over an old frame, so we look at both the cover and what is underneath before picking a method.

The tag usually carries a letter. W means water is fine, S means solvent only, a combined code allows either, and X means vacuum only. We follow that letter and our test, not habit.

Dinner parties leave red wine on dining seats, morning coffee lands on the arm of the reading chair, and a pen leaks in a jacket pocket. Each of these marks gets its own product before the whole piece is cleaned.

Low moisture keeps older padding and frames from getting soaked, and a deodorizing step is included.

Dining chairs that are only used for holiday dinners still gather dust and can look gray at the seat edge. A cleaning every couple of years keeps them looking cared for.

In most homes the fabric is dry in a few hours. Our products are non-toxic and eco-safe, fine for kids and pets.
