Banquettes, bench seating and chair pads cleaned around your opening hours — with milk and espresso residue actually extracted, not just wiped. Covering San Jose and the surrounding Bay Area.
A café gets more seat traffic in a week than most living rooms see in a year. Espresso splatter, steamed milk, pastry butter and hand oils all land on the same few metres of banquette, and most of it soaks past the surface where a cloth can reach.
We cover San Jose as part of our regular Bay Area service area, so there is no travel surcharge and no minimum contract. Whether it is a single room of seating or a full refit before a reopening, the job is quoted on what is actually there.
Milk is the one that catches owners out. Wiped rather than extracted, the protein stays in the foam and starts to smell sour after a few warm days — usually blamed on the drains before anyone suspects the seating. We extract it properly so the seat is clean underneath, not just clean to the touch.
Long runs of fixed seating, including the seams and piping where crumbs and milk collect.
Loose chair seats, timber chairs with padded tops, and stools.
Softer lounge corners, reading nooks and window benches.
Removable cushions and upholstered wall panels behind the seating line.
Extracted rather than surface-wiped, so the sour smell does not return in warm weather.
Tannin marks treated for the fabric type, with honest expectations on older set-in rings.
A degreasing pre-treatment for the oily marks a general clean leaves behind.
The lines where crumbs and syrup gather, which is usually what makes seating look tired.
We look at the actual seating and fabric types on site before quoting, so the price reflects the real job.
Every fabric is checked and spot-tested first — vinyl, contract weave and delicate blends are not treated the same way.
Loose debris, crumbs and grit come out before any moisture goes in.
A pre-treatment matched to the soiling — degreasing where there is cooking oil, enzyme-based for protein and perspiration.
Gentle agitation where the fabric can take it, working the treatment into seams and high-contact areas.
Fabric-safe rinse and deep extraction to pull the loosened soil and residue out of the padding.
Multiple dry passes to cut drying time, then a final walk-through with you before we leave.
Commercial work is quoted per site rather than off the standard per-item list. The price depends on how many seats there are, the fabric, the condition, and how much access we get — a long banquette run is a different job to twenty separate chairs.
We work before opening, after close, or on your quiet day — whatever keeps your service running. Most café seating dries fast enough to be back in use the same day.
Send a few photos and a rough count and we will come back with a fixed figure and a realistic time on site. Recurring schedules — quarterly, twice-yearly — are quoted at a lower rate than one-off visits.
Most commercial soiling improves dramatically, but we will not promise a perfect result on set-in dye, bleach damage or years-old grease. We tell you what we expect to achieve before we start, and we would rather talk you out of a job than take money for a result you will not be happy with.
Most commercial upholstery is back in use within a few hours; vinyl and faux leather sooner. We plan the visit around your opening hours so the downtime falls when you are closed, and we will tell you straight if a turnaround is too tight rather than leaving you with damp seating.
Yes — San Jose is inside our regular Bay Area service area and we cover it as standard, with no travel surcharge. We can usually get to you within the same week, and sooner if you have a fixed closure day coming up.
Pricing is the same across our whole service area — commercial work is quoted per site based on seat count, fabric, condition and access rather than a fixed list price. Send photos and a rough count for a firm figure.
We work before opening, after close, or on your quiet day — whatever keeps your service running. Most café seating dries fast enough to be back in use the same day.
Most café seating is usable within a few hours, and we time the job so it is dry before you open. Vinyl and faux-leather banquettes are quicker again. We will tell you the realistic window when we quote, not an optimistic one.
Send a few photos and a rough seat count and we will reply with a fixed price and a realistic time on site.
