The lake-house sofa takes more abuse than any carpet in Tuftonboro — wet swimsuits, dogs, sunscreen, and years of guests. We bring it back without soaking or shrinking it.
Among the towns on Winnipesaukee, Tuftonboro is one of the most heavily seasonal — roughly half the houses in town sit empty for part of the year. That shapes the work: cottages along Melvin Bay and Mirror Lake that need the closed-up smell pulled out of the carpet and sofas in May, rental turnovers through July and August, and sand tracked in from the shore that grinds into traffic lanes all summer. Off Route 109 and up the back roads toward Mount Shaw the character shifts — year-round homes, wood and pellet heat, and the fine gray soot that settles into light carpet over a long winter. Older camps around Center Tuftonboro and Union Wharf often hold wool and oriental rugs that need testing and a controlled, low-moisture method rather than an aggressive soak.
Opening a Tuftonboro camp for the season? Book the carpet and upholstery for the same week you turn the water on. Damp, closed-up fabric holds odor, and cleaning it while the house is still airing out beats trying to chase the smell down in August.
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.
