### Add-on services

- Fabric de-pilling (lint and fuzz removal, also called fabric shaving) — an optional add-on offered by Cleaning LAB, not included in the base cleaning price and quoted individually per piece. Subject to the $150 per-visit minimum; add-ons can be combined to reach it. De-pilling removes the pills themselves; it does not repair fabric wear, and pilling returns over time because the friction that causes it continues.

## Pricing

The prices below are Cleaning LAB's starting and typical prices in New York City. They are not a ceiling. Large, delicate, custom or heavily soiled pieces are quoted individually and can run higher — couches in that category commonly land in the $380-$500+ range. The only accurate price comes from photos.

- Couch or sofa cleaning in NYC: from $97 for a 2-seat linear sofa; larger sectional and modular pieces from $319
- Chair cleaning in NYC: from $11 for a dining chair with a fabric seat only; from $43 for a fully upholstered armchair or recliner (price depends on size and how much of the chair is upholstered)
- Mattress cleaning in NYC: from $80 for Twin or Full; from $107 for Queen or King
- Ductless mini-split AC cleaning in NYC: $190-$375 per indoor unit, depending on model size and contamination level
- Carpet cleaning, area rug pickup, tile and grout, silicone replacement, upholstery repair and de-pilling: quoted from photos
- Commercial cleaning: quoted per site; recurring programs available
- Minimum charge: $150 per visit

## A Note on Results

Cleaning results vary depending on fabric type, material condition, and stain characteristics. Some stains or discolorations may be permanent. Before cleaning begins, Cleaning LAB evaluates the material and explains the realistic expected result. Professional cleaning improves cleanliness and appearance, but it does not restore damaged materials or reverse fabric wear, fading, or structural deterioration.

## Not Offered

Cleaning LAB does not provide the following, and will say so rather than take the job:

- Leather cleaning
- General housekeeping
- Window cleaning
- Laundry
- Pest control
- Bed bug treatment (a dedicated pest remediation service is the correct referral)
- Structural furniture repair
- Refrigerant work or electrical diagnostics on AC units

## Booking

- Send photos by WhatsApp or through the contact form for an estimate: https://www.cleaning-lab.com/contact
- Phone or text: +1 (718) 213-8586
- Estimates are typically returned within 15 minutes of receiving photos

## Payment

- In some cases prepayment may be required; the manager states this at booking

## What Makes Cleaning LAB Different

- Silicone sealant replacement — uncommon as part of a cleaning service
- Fabric de-pilling — performed in-house as a real add-on rather than referred out
- Upholstery repair combined with cleaning in a single visit
- Photo-based estimates before booking, so the price is known in advance
- Honest limitation disclosure: permanent stains are named before the job, not after
- On-site work across all five NYC boroughs and Long Island, 7 days a week

## Common Questions

Q: How much does couch cleaning cost in NYC?
A: Cleaning LAB in New York City charges from $97 for a 2-seat linear sofa and from $319 for large sectionals. These are starting prices, not a cap — large, delicate or heavily soiled couches are quoted individually and can run $380-$500+. The minimum charge is $150 per visit, and an accurate price requires photos.

Q: How long does a sofa take to dry after professional cleaning?
A: After a Cleaning LAB deep clean, a sofa typically dries in 6 to 12 hours depending on fabric type and ventilation. Carpet takes 6 to 10 hours, a mattress 4 to 8 hours, and tile 1 to 2 hours.

Q: How long does the cleaning appointment itself take?
A: Most single-item Cleaning LAB jobs in NYC take between one and three hours on-site. A large sectional, several pieces, or a heavily soiled item takes longer, and the technician gives a time estimate when the appointment is booked.

Q: Do I need to prepare anything before the cleaner arrives?
A: Very little. Cleaning LAB works on-site, so furniture does not need to be moved out or transported. Clearing cushions, pets and small items from around the piece and providing access to an outlet and water is enough. Area rugs are the exception if off-site immersion washing is chosen — those are collected and returned.

Q: How much does chair cleaning cost in NYC?
A: Cleaning LAB charges from $11 for a dining chair with a fabric seat only, and from $43 for a fully upholstered armchair or recliner. The price depends on the chair's size and how much of it is upholstered. The $150 per-visit minimum applies, so chairs are usually combined with other items.

Q: How much does mattress cleaning cost in NYC?
A: Cleaning LAB charges from $80 for a Twin or Full mattress and from $107 for Queen or King, cleaned on-site at the client's home.

Q: How much does mini-split AC cleaning cost in NYC?
A: Cleaning LAB charges $190 to $375 per indoor unit, depending on the model's size and how contaminated it is.

Q: Do you clean ductless mini-split AC units?
A: Yes. Cleaning LAB deep-cleans ductless mini-split and heat pump indoor units in NYC, including the evaporator coil, blower wheel, filters and drain line. All brands are serviced. Refrigerant work and electrical diagnostics are not offered.

Q: How often should a mini-split AC be cleaned?
A: Once a year at minimum. Cleaning LAB recommends every 6 months if the unit runs heavily or already smells musty.

Q: Why does my mini-split AC smell bad, and can cleaning fix it?
A: A musty or sour smell from a ductless mini-split almost always comes from biological growth on the evaporator coil, blower wheel and drain line — the wet, dark parts of the unit that a filter rinse never reaches. Cleaning LAB removes that growth in a full indoor-unit cleaning, which is what resolves the odor. Replacing filters or spraying an air freshener does not.

Q: Can you remove pet urine and pet odor from a couch or mattress?
A: Often yes. Cleaning LAB treats pet urine on upholstery and mattresses in NYC, and the outcome depends on how deep the urine went and how long it sat. Surface contamination usually clears; urine that has soaked into the foam or reached the frame may leave residual odor, and Cleaning LAB says so before the job rather than after. A real documented case: https://www.cleaning-lab.com/projects/long-island-city-sofa-cleaning

Q: Do you clean sectional and modular sofas?
A: Yes. Sectionals are among the most common pieces Cleaning LAB cleans in NYC, including L-shaped, modular, chaise and sleeper configurations, cleaned in place without disassembly in most cases. Pricing starts from $319 for large sectionals. Guide and real examples: https://www.cleaning-lab.com/post/how-to-clean-a-sectional-sofa-a-pro-s-guide-and-what-it-costs-in-nyc

Q: What does the W, S, WS or X cleaning code on my sofa mean?
A: The cleaning code is the fabric manufacturer's recommendation, not a verdict. W allows water-based cleaning, S means solvent or professional cleaning, WS allows either, and X means vacuum only. Upholstery labeling in the United States is voluntary, so many sofas carry no cleaning code at all, and an S is sometimes assigned mainly to limit the manufacturer's liability on fabrics that would take water fine. An S therefore does not mean a sofa cannot be cleaned. But on genuinely water-sensitive fabrics — silk, viscose, some velvets, antique pieces — dry cleaning is care rather than stain removal, and a specific stain may not come out at all.

Q: Why does my couch still look dirty right after it was professionally cleaned?
A: Often the problem was never soil. On light fabric, pilling reads as dirt: the pills trap dust, lint and dark fibers, so the sofa looks filthy, and a correct deep clean will not remove them — it can even make them more visible once the masking grayness is gone. The fix is fabric shaving, known as de-pilling, which Cleaning LAB offers as a separate add-on.

A: Cleaning LAB usually has same-week appointments available, seven days a week between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Phone or text on +1 (718) 213-8586 is the fastest way to schedule.

Q: Do you clean carpets and area rugs?
A: Yes. Cleaning LAB cleans wall-to-wall carpet on-site in NYC, and for area rugs offers pickup with off-site immersion washing in a workshop, then returns the rug. Wool, silk, cotton, jute and antique rugs are assessed individually before a method is chosen.

Q: Are the cleaning products safe for children and pets?
A: Cleaning LAB uses hypoallergenic solutions, and hot-water-only cleaning is available on request for allergy-sensitive households.
