Sofa Cleaning in Southampton, NY

Think about what a Southampton couch goes through by late August: wet hair after the beach, sandy feet tucked under the cushions, kids with ice cream cones and a dog who has decided the sofa is his. Pale fabrics show every bit of it.

The cleaning happens right where the couch sits. First the crew checks the frame, the fabric and every cushion. Then the worst spots are pre-treated, the whole sofa is cleaned with very little water, and it is ready to use later that day.

Sand hides in the seams, under the cushions and down in the deck of the sofa. We vacuum it all out before cleaning, since scrubbing wet sand into fabric only spreads the damage.

Slipcovers are everywhere in Hamptons homes. Some clean best on the frame, while others are better washed by the owner if the tag says so. We will tell you which kind you have.

White and cream couches need a patient approach. A hidden patch is tested first, and the arms and seat fronts, where body oil and sunscreen gather, get slow, careful work.

For a big sectional in a great room, we plan enough time to do every piece well rather than rushing through.

Many owners have us out twice a year: in late spring, so the house smells fresh when it opens, and again after the season, so stains are not left sitting until next May.

A sleeper sofa in the den or pool house can have its fold-out mattress done on the same visit.

Performance fabrics are popular in beach houses because they resist spills, but they still trap body oil and sand. They respond well to cleaning, often better than owners expect.

Seating is usually dry in two to four hours. The products are eco-safe and non-toxic, so kids and pets can be back on the couch by evening.

Pair the couch with carpet cleaning in Southampton or chair and banquette cleaning in the same room. See the Southampton services page for the rest, and sofa cleaning in Water Mill next door. Call 1-800-589-4364 for a free quote on sofa cleaning in Southampton, 11968.
