Luminette and custom drapery, after cleaning by Jeeves

Now that maybe it is spring in New York City, though with the rain over the past two weeks you would hardly know, it is a good time to clean your in-home fabrics.

Did you know that Jeeves of Belgravia, NY has a team of on-site craftsmen? The Jeeves craftsmen can come to your home and usually in one day clean all of your home fabric.

Jeeves guarantees that anything we clean on-site will not shrink and will not be damaged.

What can your man Jeeves actually clean in your home?

• Custom drapery
• Custom fabric window treatments (such as Hunter Douglas Luminette and Silhouette)

Jeeves can also take care of:

Luxurious Velvet Sofa

There used to be a time when the ritual of “spring cleaning” was regularly practiced. When I first started working in dry cleaning about 25 years ago many more clients did “spring cleaning”.

Though our spring here in New York City has been less than “spring like” with chilly temperatures and wet weather, it would be a good time to have certain household items cleaned. It is also best to have these items cleaned professionally as most house-staff do not have the proper equipment to do a proper job.

Now is a great time to clean your comforters and duvet covers. Usually it becomes too warm for these items now, so you are less apt to miss them. We are able to clean comforters and duvets using either our Eco-Clean or Wet-Clean methods, both yield a great result with bright colors and a luxurious feel.

Drapery, curtains and upholstered furniture that is in need of cleaning should be taken care of now. Our on-site cleaning team can come to your home and clean your window treatments and furniture. Most of the time our team does not have to remove these items for cleaning, everything will be taken care of on-site and usually in one day.

As the weather improves it is a great time to think about freshening up all of your “home” textiles, after all this is what “spring cleaning” is all about.

The team at Jeeves of Belgravia is up to any task that you may have for us. Just give us a call and your man Jeeves will be on the spot ready to clean anything you may have.

Wine Stained Sofa

Deep chocolate brown velvet fabric covered the sofa as the white wine splash stood out as if bleached. The owner was heartbroken. Her apartment was perfect. The stain beckoned from every corner of the room.

Velvet is not a fabric to be taken lightly. Only a certain few dare to try to reverse the damage caused by liquids on velvet.

It’s not the wine causing the stain; the fabric is distorted. Velvet depends on light absorption to give the illusion of infinite depth. Once the fibers are altered with the splash of wine, the fabric reflects light when it should absorb.

Technicians from Jeeves of Belgravia’s on-site team took on the task. At first all traces of the wine need to be extracted and then each square inch of fabric, every last fiber had to be “re-aligned” so the splash would be “no more”.

A tedious job, yes. And most upholstery cleaners in NYC would say “No”. The technicians from Jeeves are the most highly qualified craftsman anywhere. Would you expect any less?
