Determine the type of upholstery material: 

The first step in cleaning upholstery is to determine the type of material it is made of. This information can be found on the label or tag attached to the furniture.

1. Choose the appropriate cleaning method: Based on the type of upholstery material, choose the appropriate cleaning method.
2.  If the material is marked “W”, you can use water to clean it.
   If it is marked “S”, you will need to purchase a special solvent-based cleaner. If it is marked “WS”, you can use water or a solvent-based cleaner. If it is marked “X”, vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method.
3. Prepare the cleaning solution: If using water, prepare a mild detergent solution. If using a solvent-based cleaner, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Clean the upholstery: Using a soft-bristled brush or cloth, gently clean the upholstery, starting from the top and working your way down. If necessary, repeat the process until the entire upholstery is clean. Remember to use gentle, circular motions and avoid scrubbing too hard.

However, if you are unable to vacuum before our visit, our technicians will still be able to provide your carpet with a deep and thorough cleaning. Contact Certified Steamer today at 201-932-1660 or visit our website at www.CertifiedSteamer.com for more information.

At Certified Steamer, we consider an area to be a room that is up to 225 square feet (15 x 15). For example, a standard bedroom, living room or dining room would typically be considered one area.

 However, living room/dining room combos are considered two areas as they are larger in size.

If the area is larger than 225 square feet but less than 450 square feet, we would price it as two areas. Other non-standard areas such as bathrooms, halls, landings, walk-in-closets, etc. are priced separately from the standard areas, usually at a lesser price.

Please keep in mind that these room sizes may vary by location, and it is always best to contact us for an accurate estimate. To get a quote, call us at 201-932-1660 or visit our website at www.CertifiedSteamer.com.

Carpet drying time after cleaning depends on various factors such as humidity, temperature and air flow in the room. It usually takes between 8-24 hours for the carpet to dry completely. To speed up the drying time, you can use fans in the rooms and turn on your air conditioning or heating system. It is important to leave protective blocks under furniture legs and any paper used with upholstered items in place until the carpet and furniture is completely dry to avoid any color transfer.

 You can walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning but it's advisable to wear clean rubber soled shoes. Avoid wearing street shoes as they may re-soil the carpet.
