We clean every upholstered thing in a Long Island home — sofas, sectionals, dining chairs, recliners, ottomans, mattresses and headboards — with 100% organic, pet-safe and baby-safe solutions, at prices published in full before you call. This is the overview. Every service below has its own page with the detail.
What we clean
Why upholstery is specialist work
Upholstery is the most demanding surface in your house to clean well. Dozens of different fabrics, unpredictable construction, dyes that can bleed, foam that holds water — and a piece of furniture that often cost more than everything else in the room.
That is why we use a dedicated upholstery hand tool with strong vacuum recovery and restrained solution flow, so fabric never gets wetter than it can give back. It is why we read the manufacturer's cleaning code before anything touches the piece. And it is why we test in a hidden area whenever there is no tag to read.
Get those things right and furniture comes back genuinely clean, soft to the touch, with no smell and no residue. Get them wrong and you get water rings, shrinkage and a damp smell that lingers for weeks. We have built the whole business around getting them right.
Our process, on every piece
Six stages, every time, whether it's a $40 ottoman or a $220 sectional.
- Identify. We find the manufacturer's cleaning code and match the method to it. Our guide to W, S, WS and X codes explains what yours means. No tag, and we test in a hidden area.
- Dry soil removal. Vacuum through every seam, under every cushion, across the deck. Adding moisture to dry grit makes mud, so this comes first.
- Pre-condition. An organic, pH-appropriate solution with proper dwell time, to emulsify the oily film that holds soil in place.
- Agitate. Soft horsehair brush, worked with the fabric rather than against it. Pile damage is permanent.
- Extract. Hot-water extraction with an upholstery hand tool — controlled solution in, heavy vacuum recovery out.
- Groom and dry. Reset the nap, cushions on edge, air moving. Most pieces are dry to the touch in two to four hours.
Residue is the hidden failure. Detergent left in a fabric stays sticky and attracts soil immediately, which is why some sofas look worse a month after cleaning than they did before. Our solutions rinse clean, so the fabric comes out soft rather than crunchy, with no smell and nothing left behind to re-soil.
Organic, pet-safe, baby-safe — and why it matters here
Carpet is underfoot. Upholstery is where skin actually rests: where the baby naps, where the dog sleeps, where you fall asleep in front of the television. Whatever remains in that fabric is in prolonged contact with people, which is why we won't use the harsh detergents and optical brighteners that are standard in this trade.
Everything we carry is plant-derived and non-toxic. There is no chemical smell, nothing to air out, and no waiting before the room is usable again. For households with asthma, eczema or chemical sensitivity, that's often the deciding factor — and it costs no more.
Fabrics we work with
Price never changes with fabric. Method changes completely.
Stains and odors
Ordinary marks — food, drink, general soiling — are treated at no extra charge as part of every clean. Pet urine is the exception, at $50, because it needs enzyme chemistry rather than detergent. Urine soaks through fabric into the foam and crystallizes as it dries, so surface cleaning removes the stain and leaves the smell to return whenever humidity rises. Our pet urine removal guide covers what the process can and can't fix.
Red wine and coffee are tannin stains and respond well if they haven't been scrubbed. Vomit is acidic and wants treating quickly. Body-oil darkening on arms and headrests isn't really a stain at all — it's accumulated soil, and a proper clean lifts it out entirely.
How often to have it done
Every 12 to 18 months for a typical household. Every 6 to 12 months with pets, small children, allergy sufferers, or if the piece is in a below-grade room or close to salt air. Mattresses every one to two years, annually for children's beds.
In between, vacuum weekly with an upholstery attachment, rotate reversible cushions, blot spills rather than rubbing, and keep pieces out of direct sun. Fabric protector at $65 is worth it on anything light-coloured: it doesn't make fabric stain-proof, but it slows absorption enough that most spills blot up before they set.

Questions Long Island homeowners ask
What does upholstery cleaning cost on Long Island?
A three-seat sofa is $125, a loveseat $99, a sectional $150 or $220 depending on size, dining chairs $20 each, recliners $65, ottomans $40, and mattresses and headboards $99 each. Pet treatment is $50 and fabric protector $65. There is a $99 minimum per visit and online quotes take 10% off.
Is upholstery cleaning really different from carpet cleaning?
Substantially. Carpet is a handful of fiber types built to be walked on. Upholstery is dozens of fabrics with unpredictable construction, dyes that can bleed and foam that holds water. It needs a hand tool with restrained solution flow and strong vacuum recovery — using carpet equipment on furniture is the usual cause of water rings, shrinkage and lingering damp smell.
Are your products safe for pets and children?
Yes. Everything we use is plant-derived and non-toxic, with no optical brighteners or harsh detergents. There is no chemical smell and nothing needs to air out. That matters more on upholstery than anywhere else, because it is the surface people actually rest on.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Most pieces are dry to the touch in two to four hours and fully cured in about six. Dining chairs are faster, usually one to two hours. Sectionals take three to five. Mattresses take four to six. We stand cushions on edge and keep air moving to speed it along.
How often should upholstery be cleaned?
Every 12 to 18 months for a typical household, and every 6 to 12 months with pets, small children, allergy sufferers, or in below-grade rooms and homes close to salt air. Mattresses every one to two years, and annually for children's beds.
Do you clean carpets and rugs too?
Yes. Upholstery is our focus and where we do most of our work, but we clean carpet and area rugs across Long Island as well, and it makes sense to combine them in one visit since the travel is already covered.
