Sofa Cleaning in Hempstead, NY

In a lot of Hempstead apartments, the living room is also where everyone eats, the kids do homework and a cousin sleeps over on weekends. The couch takes all of that.

We clean couches, loveseats, futons, sleeper sofas and sectionals where they are. Nobody has to wrestle a sofa down a narrow staircase.

Here is what we usually find, and what we do about it.

The eating spot. One cushion, usually the one facing the TV, carries food stains, grease from takeout and drink rings. We work each mark separately before cleaning the whole cushion, so the result is even.

The headrest line. A grey band forms along the top of the back where heads rest. It is body oil and hair product, and it lifts with a degreasing pre-treatment.

The pet corner. Dogs and cats choose a favorite spot. We pull the hair out first with rubber tools and a strong vacuum, then neutralize the smell with an odor treatment instead of covering it with perfume. A strong, old odor may take two rounds, and we will say so up front.

The sleeper. If the couch folds out, the mattress inside often gets forgotten. Tell us, and we will clean it on the same visit.

Leather and faux leather. Real leather gets a mild cleaner and conditioner so it does not dry out. Faux leather gets a gentle wipe-down without harsh chemicals that could make it crack.

The process in between: a quick look at the tag and a test in a hidden place, a full vacuum in every seam, the targeted pre-treatments, then a careful clean with non-toxic products and plenty of extraction so the fabric is not left wet.

Furnished rentals turn over often in this village. Landlords tend to book couch, carpet and mattress together between tenants, which makes the whole unit feel new for the next person.

Before a baby shower, a birthday party or a holiday with the whole family over, a clean couch makes a difference. Book a few days early, since weekends before big holidays fill up.

Students sharing an apartment near Hofstra often split the cost of a couch cleaning at the end of the year, especially when a lease asks for furnished rooms to be left clean.

Futons are common in student rooms and small apartments. The thick mattress pad soaks up spills like a sponge, so we treat the stains and then extract thoroughly. If the futon cover is removable, leave it on; we clean it in place, which avoids the shrinking a home washer can cause.

Light-colored couches in rentals show wear quickly. A cleaning every year or so keeps them from greying, which landlords appreciate at the end of a lease.
