Upholstery Cleaning in Washington Heights, Manhattan

Furniture in many Washington Heights homes is used hard and kept for years. The dining chairs host big meals every weekend, the recliner is grandpa's spot after work, and the armchair by the window is where someone watches the street below.

We clean those pieces in your apartment. First the technician reads the fabric code and dabs the solution on a hidden spot to make sure the color holds. Only then does the real cleaning start.

Dining chairs usually show a dark ring on the seat and a gray patch where hands grab the top of the back. Those areas are pre-treated before the whole chair is cleaned.

Recliners need care around the footrest, the handle and the moving parts underneath. The headrest and arms, where hair and skin oils build up, get an extra pass.

Cushions and throw pillows are part of the job, not an add-on. The pillows on a living room chair are often the dirtiest thing in the room, because they get hugged, leaned on and dropped on the floor.

Plastic slipcovers kept on chairs for years can trap moisture and leave the fabric under them yellowed or stale. If you have taken them off, we can freshen the fabric that was underneath.

Many uptown homes also have a vanity stool, a storage ottoman or a padded headboard. Any of these can be added to the visit.

Our low-moisture method means most pieces are ready to sit on in about two to four hours, and the products are non-toxic, so kids, older relatives and pets can stay home.

Kitchen chairs with fabric seats sit right in the splash zone of cooking. Grease and sauce spots are softened with a degreasing pre-treatment before the main clean.

Window armchairs in high-floor apartments facing the Hudson or the Harlem River get strong sun every afternoon. The fabric on the back and arms can turn brittle, so those panels are cleaned with a lighter touch.

If someone in the home uses a lift chair or a wheelchair cushion, ask us about it. These can often be cleaned in the same visit with the same care as other upholstery.

Leather pieces need their own cleaner and conditioner, so mention them when you call.
