Sofa Cleaning in Sag Harbor, NY

Getting a sofa out of an old Sag Harbor house is not easy. Doorways are narrow, stairs turn sharply, and some sofas only went in before a wall was finished. That is one reason we clean sofas right where they sit.

Summer also takes a toll. Guests, beach days and long dinners leave sand in the cushions and spots on the arms.

Many sofas in Sag Harbor arrived before the house was renovated - or went in through a window. Taking one back out through a narrow front door and down a turning staircase is often not possible, so we clean every sofa right where it stands.

We begin with a close look at the fabric, the frame and the legs. Plenty of sofas here are older pieces with exposed wood, and we plan the clean so the wood stays dry.

Cushions come off first. After a summer of beach days, the deck of a sofa can hold a cup or more of sand, and getting it out protects the fabric from wear.

Pet hair is lifted with rubber tools before any moisture. Sag Harbor is a dog-friendly village, and many sofas show it.

Each mark is matched to its remover: rose wine, coffee, sunscreen, a grass stain from the lawn.

The fabric is then cleaned with a low-moisture method and extracted, so cushions and frame are not soaked.

Slipcovers, a village favorite, are cleaned on the sofa rather than in a washer, so they keep their fit.

Most sofas are ready by late afternoon. A window open to the harbor breeze speeds things up.

Second-home owners often ask us to clean the living room sofa as part of opening the house in spring. Others book in September, after the last guests leave, so the house closes clean for the winter.

Our products are eco-safe and non-toxic, which matters for the many dogs who share sofas in this village.

Window seats, benches and armchairs can be added with upholstery cleaning. Bigger beach-house sectionals in Sagaponack get the same care.
