**NEW SERVICE TO BATTLE THE CORONA VIRUS-ELECTROSTATIC CLEANING-CALL US FOR MORE INFORMATION**Elia's Cleaning Service was started 15 years ago, we are a very trustworthy and very hard working group of professionals. Our company can do residential, commercial and new construction cleaning. Services offered can be customized to the clients needs or be individualized. Our company offers one time, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly cleaning, and if you selling or buying your home our company does move-in cleaning and move out cleaning. We also offer many optional cleaning plans.

"The provider came and looked at the house, and sent me an estimate for a deep clean and cleaning every two weeks, and once a month. I said let's start with the deep clean, and then we will do once a month. I had my neighbor check on Monday 2/19 because we were away. He said the downstairs was clean. I came home on Wednesday 2/21. The kitchen and entryway looked clean. I went up to my bedroom and into the bathroom. The dresser in the bathroom and jewelry boxes were covered in dust. There was hair and dust all around the base of the toilet. There was dirt on the floor, and the shower faucet was not clean. I sent pictures to Ellia's cleaning, and spoke with Glen. He offered to come back. I said I needed to think about it. I then went to the second bathroom and saw the same rushed job. I examined downstairs and found that the kitchen cabinets had not been cleaned well, as the cabinets on the other side of the island were not clean. I decided I did not want them back in my house. I have three children and two dogs, and did not want to have them leave the house, just to have the same poor job done again. I suggested he refund me $100."

Oriental Rug or Drapery, Clean and 100% Urine Odor Removal Naturally, by PetPeePee Company. PetPeePee service is a strictly for, Oriental rugs, (all types of Oriental Rugs, Needlepoint, Antique rugs, and custom made Draperies. PetPeePee Guarantee: Permanent Dog or Cat urine odor removal. The principal reasons the members use of the service is the need to get rid of the urine odor naturally, without using all the toxic chemicals of the ordinary carpet cleaning industry! The odor free cleaning products we use are Organic uses Dead Sea minerals as the primary cleaner. Our System works to Perfection! That's why we grant a written guarantee on urine odor removal! We are proud of our work and it shows. Nationwide pick up by UPS and in South Florida offer Pick-up and Delivery

"I discovered petpee.com when I was searching online for ways to remove the urine odor from our 10’ x 14’ Karastan wool oriental rug. I had planned to clean the rug myself, but I was intrigued by the videos I saw on YouTube of petpee.com’s owner, Meir Martin, demonstrating how he cleans rugs like mine. I searched for petpee.com reviews and was blown away by the number of glowing reviews that had been written by satisfied customers. I knew then and there that I wanted to turn my rug over rug to Mr. Martin to finally get rid of the urine odor that had been building up for over 10 years. I called him and got a quote of $1079, which included shipping both ways, cleaning the rug, and a guarantee that I would not be able to detect any urine odor when my rug was returned to me. After getting over the sticker shock, my husband gave me the green light to send the rug to petpeepee.com. I think he was more interested in getting rid of my constant complaints about the urine odor than the actual odor itself! Mr. Martin walked us through how to pack up our rug for shipping via UPS, having us send him pictures to make sure we had prepared it properly. Even though we followed his instructions, I received an email from UPS 5 days later that my rug had been lost. I was regretting my decision to send my rug off for cleaning, UNTIL Mr. Martin worked his magic! I’m only the second customer in all the years petpeepee.com has been in business to have her oriental rug go missing, but that was to my benefit, because Mr. Meir knew exactly who to call (in Utah, of all places!) to track down my rug. Mr. Martin called his contact at UPS every day to check on whether my rug had been found and kept me posted each day for a week. On the seventh day after UPS reported my rug had been lost, Mr. Martin called me with the happy news that my rug had been found!!! Apparently some of the tape I had used to secure the label to the package was not completely flat and caused the label and bag to tear. Mr. Martin received my rug via Next Day Air from UPS on August 23 and began the cleaning process the next day. I loved receiving videos and pictures of the rug being cleaned and getting updates from Mr. Martin throughout the process. (You can see my rug being cleaned on YouTube by searching “Removing urine odor from a supersize Karastan rug.”). We received the rug back on September 2, and it smelled as fresh as it did the day we bought it! It looked so clean and new – worth every penny we paid to have petpeepee.com clean it. I really need more than five stars for my recommendation of petpeepee.com and Meir Martin. He is a true professional and the best communicator of any service provider I’ve ever encountered. I will be sending him more rugs soon! When I do, I will be VERY careful about packaging them, including using a HEAVY DUTY bag and taping multiple labels on the inside and outside of the package and making sure EVERYTHING on the outside is smooth and flat. If you want your rug to be free of urine odor, send it to petpeepee.com with every confidence that it will come back as good and fresh as new!"

Homestead Window Treatments is a Hunter Douglas Showcase gallery in Huntington Station. Here at Homestead service is our absolute number one priority, and is the reason why we have been able to serve Long Island for the past 35 years! Being owner operated, you get to work with Mark every step of the way! His knowledge, punctuality and hardwork will ensure you went the right path with Homestead! Being that customer satisfaction is our number one priority, we want to make sure that we provide the most convenient and pleasant shopping experience.

"My experience with Homestead Window Treatments has been perfect & great! I had another company abandon the job after starting & taking payment. They left a mess. Mark from Homestead window treatments came in and fixed and finished the job. They ordered shades to replace those that were missing and they really seemed to know what they were doing (unlike the company that stole from me). I am so happy with the job they did, and will recommend them whole heartedly. "

"The workers arrived on time and got down to work quickly after I explained my areas of concern re the sofa. One area really looked bad and they started the work but then after a while they told me it was going to be difficult and they might not be able to do as good a job as I might be pleased with. They continued working on the rest of the sofa but one of them continued to work on the stain. It is an off white sofa so everything is noticeable. After they finished they showed me the completed job. The stain was barely visible and after they explained that perhaps some kind of dye from fabrics might have rubbed off onto the fabric of the sofa, I knew they were right. The sofa is used constantly, especially that area and it had not been cleaned in about 5 years. It is now clean and looks beautiful and the stain is not really noticeable. I would absolutely use this company again and recommend them highly."

"These people are impossible to deal with. They said they weren't sure if they could clean the part of the rug that was stained and they couldn't guarantee that my rug wouldn't run. (It's been cleaned before. Didn't run at all.) The price they quoted was pretty high and didn't include blocking the rug. Blocking doubled price to over $800. On top of that, after it's cleaned, they charge you to lay the rug back down. I decided not to have them clean the rug. There were too many issues and they gave me no confidence in their ability to do a good job. They said they would charge $87 for not cleaning the rug. They gave me a 5 hour window to bring the rug back. I stayed home and waited for them. They left the rug with the doorman. When I called to ask why I had to wait 4 hours if they weren't going to lay the rug, they said they charge an additional $32.50 to lay the rug. The only good thing about this company are the really nice, professional guys who deliver the rugs. (I paid the $32.50.) My advice - go elsewhere."

Drapery Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Vacuum regularly, spot-clean stains, and follow care instructions for specific fabrics to maintain their appearance.

Delicate surfaces like softwood, painted areas, or antique furniture can be damaged by a power or pressure washer. Avoid power washing things with electrical components, including outlets or HVAC units, because water can short-circuit these systems. Fragile materials like glass or light fixtures shatter under high pressure. Additionally, plants and landscaping should be kept safe from the forceful spray to prevent harm. Always assess the surrounding area before power washing to avoid costly damage.

It’s a good idea to wash curtains every six months or so to avoid allergens from building up in them and to get rid of any odors from cooking, exercising, or pets. You might want to wash your curtains as often as every three months if you have multiple pets, someone in your family is highly allergic to dust or pet dander, or you cook often with aromatic spices or oils. You might consider a standalone cleaning if you get stains on your curtains or they are visibly soiled.

In some cases, it’s possible to clean your drapes yourself, but usually only if you can machine-wash the drapes. You can check the “how to wash” tag on the drapes for instructions. If the tag is missing or if the material is dry-clean only, we recommend leaving the work to a professional drape cleaner. Performing the wrong type of cleaning or using the wrong cleaning solutions on sensitive materials can destroy your drapes. A professional drapery cleaner will apply the correct solutions for safe, deep cleaning.

First, ensure your clothes are clean before you pack them. When packing, make sure they’re folded and stored within the container with enough room to breathe. For extra protection, try using cedar chips or lavender sachets, which naturally repel bugs. Lastly, periodically checking in on your clothes will help you stay aware of their condition.
