The lake-house sofa takes more abuse than any carpet in Gilmanton — wet swimsuits, dogs, sunscreen, and years of guests. We bring it back without soaking or shrinking it.
Gilmanton is less lake-rental and more full-time rural living, and that shapes the cleaning. Wood and pellet stoves are the norm, and a winter of burning settles a fine soot and ash haze into carpet that vacuuming never fully lifts — you notice it most as a gray cast in the light. Add dogs, muddy spring dooryards, and the long distances that keep a lot of homes on well-worn carpet, and the deep-extraction call is a common one out here.
Heat with wood or pellets in Gilmanton? Book a cleaning at the end of heating season. Months of fine soot and ash work down into the carpet base and dull the color; a hot-water extraction in spring pulls it out and resets the room for the year.
Upholstery is where body oils, sunscreen, pet dander, and food end up — and it's far less forgiving than carpet. We identify the fabric first, test for colorfastness, and match the method to the material: warm controlled extraction for most synthetics, a low-moisture approach for delicate or natural fibers that can't take a soak. The result lifts the ground-in grime and the smell that comes with it, without over-wetting, water rings, or shrinkage.
Sofas, sectionals, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, even mattresses and boat cushions — quoted together as a set so you know the whole number up front.
A standard sofa runs $90–$150; loveseats and chairs less, full sectionals and living-room sets quoted together. Fabric protector can be added to keep the next spill on the surface.
No — we identify the fabric and test for colorfastness before we start, and use a low-moisture method on anything delicate. Matching the method to the material is the whole job.
Most pieces are dry in 4–8 hours. Low-moisture cleaning on delicate fabrics is faster; densely padded sectionals take a little longer.
Usually, yes. Most upholstery odor is body oil and dander in the fabric, which extraction removes. Deep-set pet odor may need an enzyme treatment, which we'll quote if it's needed.
