The lake-house sofa takes more abuse than any carpet in Holderness — wet swimsuits, dogs, sunscreen, and years of guests. We bring it back without soaking or shrinking it.
Squam is exclusive by tradition, and Holderness cleaning reflects it: old-money camps and estates, antique and oriental rugs, natural-fiber upholstery, and owners who value discretion and care over speed. Many of these homes are seasonal and handed down through families, so the furnishings are older and finer than average — exactly the pieces that need colorfast testing and a controlled, low-moisture method rather than an aggressive soak.
Family camps on Squam often hold heirloom rugs and vintage upholstery. Those are the pieces to clean carefully and on a schedule — not the ones to hand to whoever’s fastest and cheapest. We test, we go gentle, and we treat an old family camp’s furnishings like they can’t be replaced, because they can’t.
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.
