Carpet Cleaning in Yonkers, NY

In Yonkers, carpet shows up in a lot of places: bedrooms in older co-ops, the stairs and upstairs hall of a two-family house, and the basement rec room in a detached home up the hill.

Carpet in a busy household works hard. Kids, visitors, pets and shoes coming in from wet sidewalks all leave their mark.

We clean it with hot water extraction and plan the visit around stairs, elevators and parking.

Homeowners renting out the other floor often book both units together, which saves a trip and keeps the shared stairs consistent.

Two-family houses are everywhere in Yonkers, and the carpet often runs up the shared staircase to the second unit. That stair carpet gets used by two households. We hand-clean each tread and riser so the whole run looks even.

Landlords call us between tenants. An empty apartment is the easiest carpet to clean, and it dries in a few hours, so the unit can be shown or rented quickly.

In co-op and rental buildings, we check in with the super or front desk, use the elevator if there is one and keep the hallway clear.

Big family gatherings leave food and drink on the floor. Rice, sauce, soda and coffee each need their own pre-spray before the main rinse, so they lift instead of spreading.

Winter is hard on carpet near the front door. Salt from the sidewalks dries into white rings and makes fibers stiff. We dissolve the salt and rinse it out.

Older co-op buildings near the parkways often have carpet that was installed by a previous owner years ago. It may be faded and flat, but a deep rinse usually brings back a good part of its color and softness, and we will be honest if replacement makes more sense.

Rooms that face the street can collect black soot along the walls and under the windows, from bus and truck traffic. That gray edge line is called filtration soil, and it needs a special pre-spray and hand work to lighten.

Pet urine is treated for odor as well as stain. If it has gone into the padding, we explain what can be done and what cannot.

Carpet is usually dry in four to six hours. Keep windows cracked or run a fan, and stay in socks for the rest of the day.

We move light furniture, set heavy pieces on blocks, and put everything back in place before we go.
