Upholstery Cleaning in New York

Sofas, chairs and headboards are cleaned in your home, with the method set by the fabric code.

How Upholstery Cleaning Works

What a proper job involves, in order.

In your home

Step 1
Fabric check
The manufacturer code (W, S, WS or X) decides whether water-based or solvent cleaning is safe.
Step 2
Dry soil removal
Vacuuming first removes loose soil, crumbs and pet hair.
Step 3
Pre-treatment
Arms, headrests and spots are treated where body oils and stains concentrate.
Step 4
Cleaning
Hot-water extraction or low-moisture cleaning, matched to the fabric code.
Step 5
Drying
Airflow speeds drying; most pieces are usable within a few hours.

Most companies price upholstery per piece rather than per square foot, so ask for the all-in total for every item.

Ask every company to price the same scope in writing, then compare the all-in totals.

Compare companies serving your borough, then request written quotes.

Often booked in the same visit, or worth reading before you decide.

How long does upholstery take to dry?

Usually a few hours with good airflow. Low-moisture methods dry faster than hot-water extraction.

Can all stains be removed?

Many can be reduced or removed, but dye stains, bleach and sun fading are often permanent.

Is it safe for delicate fabrics?

It depends on the code. "S" fabrics need solvent cleaning, and "X" fabrics should only be vacuumed.
