Organic Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning in NYC

Are you and your family members living in an “optimal health living environment”?

There are 5 necessary components for optimal health and wellness.

These being: Healthy Eating, Healthy Sleeping, Healthy Movement, Healthy Environment and Healthy Thinking. Each of the pillars of optimal health carry their own weight and often some are neglected. It takes a balance of all 5 pillars in order to be living at your optimal health.

The truth is, that in New York City most people are not living in an optimal environment. Studies have shown that carpets, area rugs, and upholstery in New York City carry up to 37% more air born pollutants which are embedded in the fibers as compared to most other places. These pollutants include, dust, allergens, bacteria, pet dander, toxins, dirt, and dead skin cells.

No matter how many times you vacuum, scrub, or dust your carpets and upholstery, if you do not provide them with a deep clean every 6-12 months, those deeply embedded soils will never be removed.

The problem is, most people are skeptical when it comes to hiring a company to clean their fabrics. There has been a lot of press lately on the dangers of using harsh and toxic chemicals to clean with. It’s true, it is sometimes easier to clean with harsh chemicals, however, by using these toxic products you are simply replacing one harmful substance with another.

That’s where we come in. My name is Sonny Cohen and I am the co-owner of PureGreen Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning. We offer a truly organic cleaning approach that will safely, deep clean your fabrics and leave them in a clean, and most importantly healthy state for you and your family.

Our cleaning products have all been green seal certified and are the safest available on the market. No need to be concerned about any sticky residue being left behind, off gassing from cleaning agents, damaged fabrics from use of harsh chemicals, or any potential health hazards.

Below is a job we recently did for a customer. Here we worked on her wool carpet and her white micro-fiber sectional. Our organic carpet cleaning nyc technicians were able to make everything look as good as it was the day she first got them.

Sofa Cleaning NYC - College Dorm Room Futons

We recently did some work for a University in Manhattan. The job required us to clean several sofa bed's and futons used by college students in their dorm rooms.

As you can imagine, most of these upholstery pieces were very heavily soiled with all types of stains from food spills, drink spills, pet stains etc...

We setup all the pieces in one room and started cleaning, assembly line form. Pieces were first Pre-Treated, then agitated, then rinsed and extracted and then setup to speed dry with fans.

We were able to leave everything bone dry and ready for use by the time we left the building. As always, only non-toxic, organic cleaning products were used during the cleaning process. These sofa beds were no match for our upholstery cleaning nyc technicians.

The manager of the building was very impressed with the results and surprised to see how much dirt and soil we were able to remove from the sofa's.

Water Damage - Wet Shag Rug in New York City

Shag Rugs are coming back in style with a vengeance. In many New York City apartments today, you can find a nice shaggy rug on top of the wood floors. The right rug can give a room a modern, stylish, and sophisticated look, however this does not come easy. 

Shag rugs must be maintained in order to keep them looking clean. Because the pile is so thick on a shag rug,   it makes the perfect home for dust mites, allergens, pet dander and fur. Daily vacuuming is recommended along with a deep professional cleaning every 8-12 months. Your shag rug is the biggest dust magnet in your home. As much as it is being vacuumed, without sending the rug out to a professional rug cleaning service, deeply embedded soil will never be flushed out. 

Another common problem with shag rugs, is over wetting. Because these rugs are so absorbent, drying can be a problem if not done correctly. One of our customers recently called in because she attempted to clean her shag rug with a carpet cleaning rental machine. The problem with that, is those machines shoot out a lot of water and do not have the proper vacuum suction to suck it back up. It often ends with a severely wet rug and no place to dry it. 

After attempting to clean the shag rug, our customer hoped she can get it dry in her storage room, however after three days, the rug did not appear to be getting dry, and now had a mold and dry rot issue. The binding of the rug was beginning to peal off when she called us. 

Our Rug Cleaning NYC technician was able to provide the customer with some tips for future reference and gave her some recommendations and how to treat the now water damage shag rug. 

We took the rug back to our facility for a deep cleaning and sanitizing/disinfecting for mold and odors. After we wash and fully dry it we can discard the damaged latex binding and replace it with new, making this rug look as good as it can.

  

Upholstery Cleaning NYC - Urine Stains

Urine Stains can become a big problem and embarassment when you are hosting guests. In New York City we know how cramped it can get in your apartment and sometimes your beloved dog or cat just needs to try and claim some territory for themselves

.

Often times, this claim for space will result in a urine stain on your brand new (or old) sofa. When your pets have accidents on your upholstery we do not recommend attempting to clean them with any of the over the counter products available in the market.

Often times these do not do a good job and can actually set the stains or even cause permanent discoloration to your fabric. It is best to try and blot the stain out with a white rag and then if you want to try and help with the odor use some distilled white vinegar mixed with water (about 50/50) and blot at the stain.

Of course, in order to remove the stain and odor completely the help of a professional upholstery cleaning service will be required.

At PureGreen, our upholstery cleaning NYC technicians can usually make quick work of urine stains and odors using our all natural cleaning agents.

Below is a before and after picture we took at one of our clients homes. This couch was cotton and had urine stains on it. The customer also treated the stains with one of the over the counter products she had and it made the stains bigger and left huge water rings all around.

It was not easy, but our technicians were able to remove virtually 100% of the stain and neutralize the urine odors from the sofa.

If you have upholstery or carpets that are in need of cleaning due to a pet accident, please feel free to give us a call anytime. We’d be happy to help!

Beer Stain - Upholstery Cleaning NYC

Beer is often a very difficult stain to remove on certain fabrics because of its high yeast content. In certain situations yellowing or browning can occur if the fabric is cotton. 

The best way to avoid beer stain issues on your upholstery is to get the beer in your mouth and not your couch J

But in all seriousness, we know how cramped some NYC apartments can be, and if you are hosting friends for a get together the inevitable will surely happen sooner or later. If you or one of your friends happens to fumble their alcoholic beverage during your shin dig, the first thing you should do is eject said drink dropper from the party and then grab a white rag or towel and try and blot/soak up as much of the beverage as possible.

It is best to attempt to remove the stain yourself as using the wrong products or improper cleaning techniques can potentially make the stain look worse or even permanently set it into the fabric.

Once all the dust has settled and the party is over, you are encouraged to call a professional sofa cleaning service to help you with the stain.

At PureGreen, our upholstery cleaning nyc technicians are fully equipped and knowledgeable in handling beer…stains that is..

More often than not we can remove the stain and odor from the fabric 100%. If we feel that the stain is too severe to guarantee results, we will let you know before we begin what you should expect from a cleaning.

Below is an example of a customer we had recently who sublet her apartment in NYC to someone who obviously did not get back their security deposit at the end of their stay. This stain was particularly difficult because it was on a white cotton fabric which does not respond well to heavy moisture. The stain was sitting on the fabric for about a month but the good thing was that the customer did not attempt to remove the stain themselves.

Our upholstery cleaning specialist was able to completely remove the stain and save our customer a pretty penny from having to get the sofa re-upholstered which would have been the last resort. As always we only use the best green labeled products available to our industry which means no harmful chemicals and no sticky residue left behind. 

Take a look at the photos below and give us a call if you need help with any type of stain removal on your upholstery or carpets!
