Upholstery Cleaning Services

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 22:02:48 GMT

Upholstery Cleaning Services for Darien Means Bye, Bye Dust!

If you are like most households in Darien or other cities in Connecticut, you probably do quite a lot of cleaning, or at least have a cleaner come in and do it for you every week. And of course, the home may look spotless, but it probably isn’t, despite your best intentions.

For instance, when was the last time you cleaned your upholstered sofa? It may surprise you to know that most people cannot answer that question, and you may well be among them. Sure, we dust the blinds, dust and polish the wooden furniture, vacuum the carpets, clean the windows, and more, but how often do we undertake upholstery cleaning in Darien CT? At the very least the answer is probably going to be “not very often”.

Chairs, sofas, and other upholstered furniture absorb dust and dirt, oils, allergens, pet hair, on a daily basis, and may also have the occasional spillage. Of course, you can, and maybe do, vacuum your sofa and chairs every so often, but probably nowhere near as often as you vacuum the floor. All sorts of things can vanish down the cracks between the seating and the backs, which is why you may find the odd coins down there. If coins can find their way down there, it is pretty obvious that a lot of smaller things can too. This can actually be a real problem if you have older people living at home or those who suffer from allergens.

Professional Cleaning Every Year Or Two

Upholstery cleaning should really be professionally cleaned every year or two, but the exact timing will depend on the usage. If you have children and pets crawling all over the sofa it will get dirtier faster than sofas which don’t. Of course, you don’t need a professional company to come in and do routine vacuuming and the occasional spot cleaning, but it is well worthwhile having professional upholstery cleaning in Darien CT every year or two. And, of course, we service not just Darien, but Norwalk or Stamford as well as other cities such as Greenwich. We come to you, so it really doesn’t matter – as long as you’re in “Coastal Connecticut,” we can service your furniture and upholstery cleaning needs.

Different fabrics will require different treatments and cleaning products, and a professional upholstery cleaner such as those at Homecare knows the right products and methods to use for the wide range of materials that manufacturers use. If you try and do it yourself you probably don’t have all the right equipment and if you take a look at Home Depot you may well finish up with completely the wrong product – not because there is anything wrong with Home Depot but because you just don’t understand all the possible different products that are available.

So the answer is that you really should have professional upholstery cleaning in Darien CT at least every couple of years if you want your home to be as clean as it possibly can be.

Oriental Carpets in Norwalk, CT

Oriental Carpets in Norwalk, CT, Need a Carpet Cleaning Service that Gets It

A real oriental or Persian rug or carpet is a true thing of beauty and some of them sell for many thousands of dollars – even for a rug that is just 8’ x 10’. Specialty oriental rug cleaning in Norwalk.If you have paid for one yourself, you will be well aware of the enormous cost, but if you have inherited a Persian rug or oriental carpet that has been handed down from a previous generation you may not really know just how valuable it is.

None of that really matters until it comes to time for Norwalk CT oriental rug cleaning. Sure, you may vacuum them regularly, but did you know you should also vacuum the backs of them? Not every week, but just occasionally, as this will help remove dust and dirt and also keep the moths at bay. Moths themselves do not eat your beautiful oriental rug, but the females lay hundreds of eggs which turn into larvae, and they do. They will just love your special rug for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a bad infestation can cause serious damage requiring re-weaving which is a lengthy and expensive process.

Pets and Oriental Rug Cleaning

Pets can be a serious problem for expensive oriental (Persian) rugs and carpets and this can be another reason why you may need professional Norwalk CT oriental rug cleaning. While scratching and chewing can be a problem, if your pet is trained that may not occur. However, pet urine can cause considerable damage. It can cause discoloration and rot. Of course, we offer rug cleaning services to homes not just in Norwalk but also in Stamford, Greenwich, and even Darien.

Sunlight can be another problem and it may well cause fading. To some extent this can be a desirable feature, but too much fading can really cause a problem. For this reason, it is advisable to turn rugs every so often so that the sunlight is spread evenly and any light fading also. It is also a good idea to draw blinds or curtains if there is strong sun when the room is not being used.

Another point to consider when you have Persian or oriental rugs is the furniture. You should avoid placing heavy furniture on them as far as possible, but if you have to you should use small casters under sharp pointed or small feet.

If you have a rug which is of genuine silk, then you should definitely have a professional undertake Norwalk CT oriental rug cleaning. The same thing applies to a rug made of bamboo silk or even viscose rayon which is “fake” silk, as both are likely to suffer from color bleed and become brittle if you wash them. Then again, you may not be aware of exactly what material the rug or carpet is made of, so this is another very good reason for calling in the professionals.

Darien Carpet Cleaning Options

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:57:44 GMT

Darien Carpet Cleaning Options: Yes, You Have Them

When it comes to carpet cleaning in Darien , you have some choices. The first is to go to a hardware store and rent a cleaning machine. If you have ever watched anyone using one you may think it is fairly straightforward, but it is actually very tiring. You could look on Craig’s List. Or another choice, and the best one for carpet cleaning in Darien, CT, is to call Homecare by Fabricare which will save you a lot of headaches. We respect your carpets and rugs and do an incredible high-end job.

This is crucial when it comes to oriental rugs and carpets because they need specialist care and if you try and do it yourself you could very well end up damaging them beyond repair. Oriental carpets are always made from natural materials such as wool, silk, or cotton and they are susceptible to rot if they get damp. In particular, wool is susceptible to shrinking so must not be left wet for long periods. Equally it shouldn’t be dried in from of a fire or with heat dryers as these will dry out the natural oils in the wool and make it brittle.

Carpet cleaning in Darien CT should include rugs which should be brushed, or better still vacuumed, regularly with a suction-only appliance to remove dirt and grit. Every now and then the back of the rug should be vacuumed to keep it dust-free and prevent moths from setting up home. Rugs should also be turned around every so often to help prevent uneven wear and also uneven fading from the sun.

Dyes Can Be Very Fragile

The dyes in Persian and oriental rugs can also be very fragile and can run if they are not cleaned by a professional who understands how to do it correctly. Some fading of the colors can provide a natural look and can be desirable, but too much can ruin the look of the rug and can destroy the pile. This can be avoided by turning the rug occasionally and also by blocking sunlight with curtains or blinds when the room is not being used.

If a rug or carpet suffers from spills or stains, they can usually be removed if quick action is taken. Liquid spills should be blotted with plain white kitchen towels until the area is dry. Food spills should be scraped up with a spoon and then the damp residue should be blotted. With wool rugs, if there is any residue left they can be cleaned with carpet shampoo, warm water, and a teaspoon of white vinegar. Soak a rag with the mixture and squeeze it out, then blot the area. If it is a silk rug, then call Homecare immediately.

However, if you want high-end rug and carpet cleaning in Darien CT, it is always b est to call the experts. That would be us. And, of course, we service nearby communities like Stamford, Greenwich, and Norwalk with best-in-class carpet cleaning services.

Carpet Cleaning vs. Rug Cleaning

HomeCare Announces Post on Carpet Cleaning vs. Rug Cleaning for Busy Greenwich, New Canaan, and Stamford Homeowners

Professional Upholstery Cleaning

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:49:37 GMT

Professional Upholstery Cleaning Can Make an Amazing Difference to Your Greenwich Home

Here is a strange, but true, fact: many people in Greenwich, Connecticut , and elsewhere for that matter, never give a thought to having their upholstery cleaned. Certainly, they will have the cleaner in once or twice a week to hoover the carpets, dust, mop, and generally keep the place clean and tidy. Perhaps your cleaner cleans the windows once a week as well.

However, for some reason we don’t think about the upholstery , which is somewhat strange as we come into greater contact with it than the carpets or anything else in the home except the bed sheets and the tub. We actually sit on the upholstery every day, and may spend hours on it watching TV, reading a book, chatting away on Facebook on our smartphones or tablets, Googling this and that, and as a result it gets dirty.

Yes, we bring in dirt and dust to the house on our clothing, and it arrives there in the same way that it arrives on the carpet and everything else, yet upholstery cleaning Greenwich is something people hardly ever consider.

It Doesn’t LOOK Dirty

Part of the problem is that it doesn’t LOOK dirty. Even though it gets dirty, the effect is very gradual, so we don’t notice it. If you had a brand-new identical sofa or couch delivered to your door and placed it next to the old one you would see the difference a mile off. But that doesn’t happen, so you fail to notice the gradual deterioration.

It is not only the look of your upholstery that is a problem, but also the health aspects. Dirty upholstery can increase the likelihood of allergies and diseases because of molds and allergens that get into the fibers. Dust also has the effect of acting like sandpaper on your upholstery when you sit on it and move about, so it causes it to fade and lose color. It can even happen that your upholstery starts to produce bad smells, which can be hard to remove.

This is why you need professional upholstery cleaning Greenwich, even though it may never have crossed your mind. At HomeCare by Fabricare we can have one of our team of professionals inspect your upholstery and recommend either a one-off clean or a regular cycle of cleaning. Obviously, it is then up to you what you decide. Many of our upholstery cleaning Greenwich customers also make use of our other in-home cleaning services because it is just so much easier to have someone who knows what they are doing do it for you instead of taking the DIY option.

Not only that, you will have the comfort of knowing that your home is not just clean, but healthy too.

HomeCare Announces New Page on Rug Cleaning

HomeCare Announces New Page on Rug Cleaning for Greenwich, New Canaan, and Stamford Customers with Persian or Oriental Carpets

Homecare by Fabricare, a top-rated home cleaning service in Connecticut focusing on total home solutions, from carpet cleaning to furniture to drapers, is proud to announce a new page on rug cleaning focusing on high-end Persian or Oriental carpets.

It also needs special care and attention,” explained Michael Astorino, CEO of Fabricare. “A homeowner may be confused about what to do when this type of rug needs cleaning. Our newly updated page talks about the best options for cleaning a specially-made rug and how we are qualified to help with this issue.”

Residents of the Greenwich, Stamford, and Norwalk, CT region, can read the updated rug cleaning page for HomeCare by Fabricare . The revised page focuses on the care and maintenance of high-quality flooring including artistic, antique, Persian and Oriental rugs.

RUG CLEANING SERVICE PROVIDES UNCOMMON SUPPORT FOR OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY GREENWICH FLOOR COVERINGS

Here is the background for this release. A Greenwich, CT, home can contain many ordinary furnishings such as medium-level carpeting and kitchen countertops. Basic cleaning solutions can keep a house in great shape for several years. Carpets can be vacuumed, and kitchen surfaces wiped down with a wet washcloth or cleaner. Uncommon items, such as a cherished antique rug, may need specialized attention, however. The texture, fibers, and dyes of a specialty rug can react differently to conventional cleaning methods, leaving a less-than-stellar result.

Many affluent homes in Greenwich, New Canaan, and Stamford have Persian and/or Oriental carpets that are as much objects of art as they are functional home items. Some may be on the floor, while others may be hanging up in order to enjoy their beauty and preserve them for posterity. Those seeking carpet cleaning may have trouble finding a high-end rug cleaning company.

A unique floor rug or artistic wall rug can require uncommon care. The best rug cleaning service in Greenwich can provide the right approach to a particular case. For these reasons, Homecare by Fabricare has announced an update to the “Rug Cleaning” page.

Looking for a Carpet Cleaner? We Clean More than Just Carpets!

Many Greenwich homes or businesses have carpets on their floors, especially upstairs. Yes, the ground floor of your store may be of wood or tile, or even marble, and all of those can get dirty and need an occasional deep clean, but very often retail stores have carpets on the upper floors where they may have clothing departments, furniture departments, and so on because they believe that it makes the department seem more homely, and therefore an atmosphere that encourages people to spend money.

Fair enough, that is what business is about. It is also about giving the customer a good experience and providing top class service which is what we concentrate on here at HomeCare. Although we are called HomeCare we are also BusinessCare!

Of course, your business may not be retail. It could be any sort of business that needs an office full of staff, and again a carpeted office is much nicer, and therefore more likely to produce the best efforts from staff, than one which has a hard floor and is noisy when people walk on it.

Caring for Patio Furniture

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:30:08 GMT

Spring is here...

Spring has finally sprung! It’s time to go from hibernation mode to hitting the great outdoors and soaking up some sun. Let’s start with your own backyard oasis by pulling out your outdoor furniture. As you pull everything out, you may notice that winter was rough on your patio pieces (just like it was for some of us!). If you notice stains, spots, rips or tears, we have some tips for you:

Read the Care Guidelines – Different materials call for different methods of cleaning – make sure you know what they are before attempting to clean anything on your own.
Be Gentle – If you attempt to clean your patio pieces yourself, use a gentle cleaner like a combination of ¼ cup dish soap with 1 gallon of warm water, and scrub with a sponge or soft bristled brush. Do not use harsh cleaners or bleach or try to power wash.
Protect Your Furniture – Depending on the fabrics, you may want to cover your outdoor furniture or bring in cushions when not in use to protect it from pollen, the sun (which can fade fabrics) or mold/mildew as a result of rain.
Call in the professionals – Our HomeCare by Fabricare division is comprised of a team of experts who know how to care for all different materials, so they can take care of any stubborn stains or tears, leaving your patio furniture looking good as new!

Hello Spring, Goodbye Winter Bedding

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:28:11 GMT

Rejuvenate your home interior

Springtime is the perfect time to refresh & rejuvenate your home interior. As you make your way through your spring cleaning checklist, don’t forget about your winter bedding. It is important to properly wash & store your blankets, comforters and heavy linens with this change of season.

Before you pack away your bedding for the warmer months to come, it is important to make sure everything is clean and stain-free. Even if your linens look clean, the oils on your body and hair can cause discoloration, so it is so important to give it a deep clean before storing. Once washed, make sure to use the low heat settings on your dryer. And once dry, fold your bedding up as neatly as possible and store in airtight container to keep out dust, allergens and moths. The ideal place to store these items is in a linen closet or in a dark place (like under your bed in proper storage bins) to avoid any discoloration.

This can be a tedious process, so we have some good news. The team at HomeCare by Fabricare has expert knowledge of all materials and how to best care for them from wool to down to cashmere and more. Let us take care of properly cleaning all of your bedding, comforters, blankets and linens before you store them away until next autumn!

When Disaster Strikes, We Can Help

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:10:16 GMT

Navigating damages to your home

One of the most overwhelming things you could ever deal with is a disaster within your home. When your house has damage due to water, fire, mold or trauma, there are so many questions running through your head, and it can be hard to know where to begin. Check out these tips to help take some of the stress out of a horrible situation:

ACCESS THE DAMAGE

You will want to start by getting a general idea of what happened and what has been damaged. Your insurance company will do a more thorough assessment, but some initial observations will help you better understand what you are dealing with and better communicate it to your insurance company.

You will want to take pictures to help in proving your disaster and getting your claims money, but you SHOULD NOT begin cleanup. One mistake homeowners make is that they often start to clean up after a disaster, but the insurance company needs detailed and documented proof of the disaster itself, so cleaning up without documenting the proper evidence can hurt your claim.

While you don’t want to begin the clean up or repairs, Fabricare CAN help clean some of your clothing quickly so your family can get back to work and school, and start feeling somewhat normal after a disaster strikes. Just give us a call, and we will pick up your clothing, and return it back to you as quickly as possible.

CALL YOUR INSURANCE

Call your insurance agent to review the source and cause of the damage to determine if you have coverage in your policy. The amount that is covered will be covered by the evidence, estimates, pricing and depreciation of items.

BEGIN CLEAN UP

While there are things you may be able to handle on your own, it is highly recommended to bring in professionals. Whether you are dealing with fire damage, water damage, mold or even moth damage, HOMECARE BY FABRICARE can help reduce stress and restore the interiors of your home. From furniture and rugs to window treatments and beyond, our team has helped many clients with their restoration needs in the aftermath of floods, fires, and other incidents.

There’s no cleaner better suited for restoration cleaning for both furniture and garments in CT than Fabricare Cleaners. Our staff is highly trained in the process of restoration and has worked with insurance and restoration companies. From flooding to fires and everything in between, you can trust Fabricare to help restore your home furnishings and finest fabrics with the highest quality & service. If you ever need restoration help, call in the experts at HomeCare by Fabricare at 203-957-3838 or email us at homecare@fabricarecleaners.net .

The Ultimate Spring Cleaning Guide

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:57:53 GMT

Spring Cleaning Simplified

We welcome Spring with open arms after a long winter, but with the start of the new season also comes the often dreaded task of Spring cleaning. It can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! We’ve got some tips for simplified Spring Cleaning that will leave your home sparkling without the stress:

MAKE A LIST

A daunting task like deep cleaning your home can feel much more manageable with a list. Break down your list by each room in your house, and what needs to be done in that room. Not only will you have the satisfaction of checking things off your list, but you will feel more motivated to get the entire house done.

GET YOUR FAMILY INVOLVED

Spring cleaning doesn’t need to be a one person job. The entire family can help with the various tasks that you have on your checklist. Get everyone involved by assigning different tasks to each member of your family, and try to make it fun. Turn up the music, and have a countdown. At the end of the cleaning session, go out and celebrate as a family. Knowing you have a clean, organized house to come home to will make it all worthwhile.

ORGANIZE YOUR CLOSET

With the weather warming up, you should change out your winter wardrobe for your spring/summer one. It’s important to have your winter clothing cleaned before you store them to help keep moths at bay. Plus, when you take your clothes out for next winter, they will be ready to wear – your future self will thank you! You can trust Fabricare Cleaners with your favorite, hard-to-care-for winter fabrics – wool, cashmere, fur, down, etc – their professionals have expert knowledge on the best techniques & products to use on even the most delicate of fabrics. They will even store any bulky winter coats, furs & blankets for you until you are ready for them again so they are out of your way.

CLEAR THE CLUTTER

Spring cleaning is a time to go through your entire house and try to clear some of the clutter. Go through each room, and decide what you want to keep, donate or toss. You will be shocked to see how many bags you will have for donation. Fabricare Cleaners works with many local organizations in need of clothing – they will pick up from your home at no charge, and donate to those in need – just give them a call at 203-229-0001 to schedule a pick up, and they’ll handle the rest.

CLEAN INSIDE & OUT

Spring means more outdoor time, so it’s time to get your patio & decks ready to enjoy! If you find that your patio cushions need a good cleaning after being stored for the season, call in the professionals at HomeCare by Fabricare. This division of Fabricare Cleaners are the experts on cleaning all types of materials from home furnishings, including outdoor cushions.

KEEP IT CLEAN

It can be a whole lot easier to keep your home clean throughout the year, than having to do serious deep cleans every few months. Try to maintain the new cleanliness around your home by dedicating 15 minutes a day to do simple tasks like decluttering countertops, doing a quick dusting of surfaces, wiping down the kitchen and bathroom counters, vacuuming, etc. You can do different tasks each day, but in the long run, you will save yourself from doing a massive deep clean if you tackle little chores for 15 minutes each day.

Building a Culture of Service

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:55:29 GMT

Customers Are The Reason We Exist.

What makes you a loyal customer to a business? With so many options these days, it can be tough for small businesses to gain and retain new customers. Is it convenience that keeps you going back? Price? Quality of the product or service? Or does it ultimately come down to the way the business treats you as a customer?

Michael Astorino, a CT resident and owner of local dry cleaner Fabricare Cleaners has spent the last 30 years in the service industry. Michael and his team Fabricare provide top quality service for their customers’ clothing and home interiors but for them, it’s more than that. At Fabricare, the focus has always been on their customers and providing the best possible service to them.

“At Fabricare, we say the CARE in our name stands for “Customers Are the Reason we Exist. We know that we stay in business (especially this past year) because of our clients, and we have built and continue to change our business to suit our customers’ ever changing needs. We are passionate about service. So much so that we have an entire website and blog dedicated to the subject — fabservice.net .” – Michael Astorino, Owner of Fabricare

So how does a business go about providing their customers with a top notch level of service? Is it training the employees properly? Sure, but it goes beyond that. For Fabricare, they developed an ongoing culture of service that is at the center of their day to day operations. There is open communication each and every day where experiences are shared – both good and bad – so the team can learn how to handle various situations and increase customer satisfaction.

Michael and his team constantly share their experiences internally, but why keep this knowledge to themselves? They decided to open it up to all through their blog on Fabservice.net. Anyone can go and read others’ experiences and can share their own stories. The goal has always been to open up dialogue and invite others to join the conversation so together we can make customer service something that is second nature.

Spring Cleaning Simplified

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:49:53 GMT

Tips for decluttering & simple clean up

Each Spring when the flowers start blooming again, the birds return from their trips down south and the weather reminds you it’s time to get back outside, we are also reminded of a daunting chore: spring cleaning.

Spring Cleaning is the annual reminder that it’s time to declutter, reorganize and do that dreaded deep clean. Cleaning your home from top to bottom can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! We’ve got a handy checklist for you to make it more manageable:

Create a checklist. Spring cleaning is a big job, but creating a master list that breaks down the tasks makes it feel less overwhelming. Plus, a list helps you remember the many items like dusting ceiling fans, cleaning the inside of your microwave, rotating mattresses and washing shower mats. We highly recommend downloading one of the many free checklists you can find online as a resource!
Take it Room by Room . Breaking down your cleaning room by room is the most effective approach to deep cleaning. Start with one room and make your way through the house so you stay on track and focused.
Clear the Clutter First . Before you start the actual cleaning, begin decluttering each area of your home. Remove and sort items into 3 categories: Keep, Donate & Toss. Remove the items you are planning on giving away or throwing out. Neatly put away those items you are keeping.
Get Organized. Spring cleaning is the perfect time to get your stuff more organized. Invest in drawer dividers for your kitchen, storage containers for your pantry and bins/organizers for things like kids’ toys and crafts, office supplies, makeup, seasonal decor, etc. Assign a “home” for everything, and label your containers so it stays organized.
Get Everyone Involved . Make it a family affair. Give everyone in your household a task — even the little ones can get involved with age-appropriate tasks. Make it fun by turning Spring cleaning into a game and cranking up the music.
Maintain Your Cleaning Routine . Now that you have a sparkling clean home, try to keep it some level of clean. Establish some new cleaning habits with quick 15-minute tasks each day like dusting on Mondays, wiping down counters daily, changing sheets on Fridays, etc.

Schedule Routine Professional Cleanings. It’s important to get home furnishings cleaned by a professional to remove dirt, dust mites, pollens and other allergens that get trapped in their fibers. Things like carpets, upholstered furniture and window treatments should get a deep cleaning 1-2 times a year to keep them healthy and looking great, and even extend their lifespan. HomeCare by Fabricare is trusted throughout Fairfield County as the cleaning experts. The team is highly trained in all types of fabric care, stain removal and restoration, so you can trust us to leave your home cleaner, brighter and dust-free.

What is the best way to clean patio cushions?

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:46:39 GMT

Cleaning patio furniture the right way

Your patio furniture gets a lot of use during the Spring and Summer months, and will often endure its fair share of wear and tear from being out in the elements. But with the proper care, you can have your patio cushions looking great year after year. So, what is the best way to care for and clean patio cushions? Here are some tips for refreshing your backyard oasis:

SEASONAL SCRUB: Clean your patio cushions before storing at the end of each season, again before you bring them back out, and any time you notice a new stain. This will keep them looking new and mildew free.

LOOK AT THE LABEL – Different materials call for different methods of cleaning – make sure you know what they are before attempting to clean anything on your own. Some cushions have removable covers that can simply be thrown into the washer.

CUSHION CLEANING – Find a clean surface and gently vacuum away any debris, dust or dirt. Mix one (2) tablespoons of dish detergent with ½ cup of Borax in a bucket of water. Dip your brush in the solution and scrub the surface of your patio cushions. Let sit for a few minutes, then rinse off using a garden hose. Squeeze out excess water and blot with a towel to soak up moisture before propping cushions vertically to air-dry.

STAIN SITUATIONS: If you have stubborn stains on your patio cushions, you may need to pull out some secret weapons:
Mold or Mildew: Scrub as much of the mold or mildew as you can before spraying the area with distilled white vinegar. Wait 10 minutes, then scrub your cushion with a brush followed by a sponge dipped in water and a bit of detergent. Rinse and air-dry.
Sunscreen, Bug Spray or Food Stains: Sprinkle baking soda onto your patio cushion, wait 15 minutes so the oil can be absorbed, then scrape off the powder. Repeat if necessary.
Grass Stains: Use a soft brush to scrub a liquid detergent that has stain-removing enzymes into the stain. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

CALL THE PROS – Fabricare Cleaners has an entire HomeCare division that consists of a team of experts who know how to care for all different materials, so they can take care of any stubborn stains or tears, leaving your patio cushions looking good as new and ready for you to enjoy.

For more information on how to clean your patio cushions or other home furnishings, call HomeCare by Fabricare at 203-957-3838, email homecare@fabricarecleaners.net or visit homecarebyfabricare.net .

Why it is so important to clean your carpets.

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:11:20 GMT

Learn why clean carpets matter.

Think of everything that happens to your carpets on a daily basis: Constant foot traffic. Dirt that gets dragged in from outside. Pet accidents. Spills and stains… Even when your rugs and carpets LOOK clean, they are constantly accumulating dust and allergens.

We don’t want to scare you, but a study showed that the average indoor carpet to be about 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat . So the simple fact is that vacuuming is not enough. Routine vacuuming will help remove loose dirt and other debris but a deeper clean is essential to eliminate other allergens and help prevent bacteria, mold and more. It may feel like a hassle to dish out the dollars and pay for a professional carpet cleaning, but there are many reasons why the benefit of doing so far outweighs the cost.

Here are some major reasons why getting your carpet routinely cleaned is so important:

CREATES A HEALTHY INDOOR ENVIRONMENT

Over time, bacteria and allergens get stuck in the fibers of rugs and carpets which can contaminate your indoor air quality. This has been known to cause respiratory and other health issues. A deep cleaning will remove these harmful allergens, keeping your home environment and family healthier.

EXTENDS THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR CARPET

Dust, dirt and grime start to get ingrained into your carpet fibers over time and cause them to look dull and lackluster. Vacuuming will help remove the surface dirt, but a professional clean gets deeper into the fibers and extracts the debris buildup, helping your carpets look great year after year. So while you may feel you don’t want to spend money on routine professional cleans, these sessions will actually protect your rugs…and ultimately save you money in the long run.

REMOVES UNSIGHTLY STAINS

No matter how careful you are, stains are sure to happen…Mud gets tracked inside or coffee spills or your pet leaves you a surprise…. The safest way to treat stains is to leave it to the professionals. Household cleaners often cause discoloration or can even ruin a rug. All stains need to be treated differently, and all rug materials call for a different cleaning method. So next time, instead of DIYing it, call in the experts to do it right the first time.

GETS RID OF ODORS

Odors get trapped into carpet fibers over time. This happens when spills aren’t treated properly or fully, when pet hair and dander accumulates over time, and simply from day to day life. The only way to completely rid the rug of odor is to do a deep clean of the carpet. You should see what comes out of a rug that looks clean and stain free after a cleaning!

Now that you know how important it is to have your carpets professionally cleaned, meet HomeCare by Fabricare , a team of experts that know how to care for rugs of all material types and how to remove stains of all kinds. Our team will come to your home and clean on site or can bring bigger jobs back to our plant located in Norwalk, CT and get your rugs and carpets looking good as new.

Why you should wash your sheets EVERY week.

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:08:11 GMT

The Importance of Clean Sheets

You spend ⅓ of your life sleeping. And while you sleep, your sheets collect skin flakes, sweat, oils, hair and more. Did you know, humans shed 30,000 to 40,000 skin cells every day ? Skin cells attract dust mites and sweat can breed bacteria, so your sheets can cause a lot of health issues if not frequently washed.

Cleaning your sheets on a weekly basis washes away the sweat, saliva, germs, body oils, dead skin cells, ped dander, dust mites, pollen, allergens, bacteria, fungi and more that you’d otherwise be sleeping in night after night.

So what could happen if you don’t wash your sheets frequently? Your body will be in constant contact with allergens, bacteria and more that could result in skin irritations, acne, allergies, eczema, infections, and the list goes on. Wash away these threats with a weekly wash of your sheets (or more if you suffer allergies, asthma or are prone to sweating!)

Cleaning your sheets doesn’t have to be complicated:

Read the care instructions on your sheets’ label. Some may require special care.
Check to see if there are any stains and pre-treat if necessary.
Set your washer on the hottest setting that the label allows – this will help remove bacteria and allergens.
Use a gentle detergent.
Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

And while on the topic of washing your sheets weekly, let’s quickly touch on how often you should wash your other bedding:

Pillowcases – every week along with your sheets
Blankets & Duvets – every 2-4 weeks
Comforters – every 2-3 months
Pillows – every 4-6 months (if washable)
Mattress – every 6 months

We know life is busy and a week can come and go fast. We also know a seemingly simple task of washing sheets takes up time and energy that many of us just don’t have. HomeCare by Fabricare has a new LinenCare service you can sign up for to get highly discounted cleaning & pressed of your sheets and other bedding ON-DEMAND. The team will even pick up and drop off for free, so you don’t have to leave your home.
For more information or to schedule a linen pickup, call 203-957-3838, email homecare@fabricarecleaners.net or visit homecarebyfabricare .net .

New Website Reboot

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 22:08:46 GMT

HomeCare by Fabricare, the Top-rated Carpet, Furniture, Drapery, and Upholstery Cleaning Service in Darien, Fairfield, and Norwalk, CT, Announces Website Reboot

HomeCare by Fabricare, the top-rated carpet, furniture , drapery , and upholstery cleaning service in Darien, Fairfield, and Norwalk, CT, is excited to announce an ambitious website reboot, or upgrade project for their website at https://homecarebyfabricare.net/. HomeCare by Fabricare focuses on helping busy homeowners clean any and all “fabrics in the home,” from carpets to rugs, upholstery to drapery, couches to linens. It’s a companion brand to Fabricare (https://fabricarecleaners.net/), the leading specialty dry cleaner in communities as diverse as Greenwich, Stamford, and Darien, Connecticut.

Following the successful reboot of the Fabricare website, the new project will focus on content and web upgrades to ensure Darien, Norwalk, and Fairfield residents find the right information for outsourcing their in-home cleaning needs to Homecare by Fabricare.

“We are proud that customers are happy with our home delivery dry cleaning service. Although we also handle curtains and rugs, the community kept asking if we can take care of in-home cleaning, too,” explained Michael Astorino, CEO of Fabricare. “Our content upgrades to the HomeCare by Fabricare website will help busy Connecticut homeowners find the solutions to their in-home cleaning needs such as rugs, sofas, carpets, and draperies..”

Persons searching for details about the in-home cleaning support can go to; https://homecarebyfabricare.net/. Residents of the Norwalk, Fairfield, and Darien, Connecticut communities can learn about outsourcing in-home cleaning needs at the newly upgraded HomeCare website content pages. Professional in-home cleaning services can include upholstered furniture, specialty rugs, carpets, and drapes. For instance, those who want to learn more about furniture and upholstery cleaning services, can visit https://homecarebyfabricare.net/services/furniture-upholstery-cleaning/.

EXPERT CARPET CLEANING SERVICE ADDS SPARKLE AND SHINE TO DARIEN, CT HOMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Here is background on this release. Connecticut residents could be busy managing additional projects during the winter months. The added responsibility of preparing a house for holiday festivities can weigh on a resident. It could take several days to decorate a home, create a dinner menu, wrap gifts and plan for guests. The goal might be to welcome visitors with a clean and inviting holiday vibe. If a Darien, Connecticut, local has carpet cleaning on the task list, it may be too much to manage alone. Outsourcing time-consuming and detailed work such as carpet and upholstery cleaning might be a wise idea. Indeed, why go to a company that only offers carpet cleaning when they can work with a company that is a total solution to their carpet, rugs, upholstery, drapes, couch, sofa, and every other sort of fabric-related cleaning in the home?

Outsourcing time-heavy work might help a holiday host focus on other important details. An expert carpet cleaning service for Darien, CT can include the cleaning of drapes, rugs and upholstered furniture. Connecticut residents could find a professionally cleaned home adds the right amount of sparkle and shine to a holiday celebration.

For these reasons, FabriCare has announced a newly upgraded website. Content upgrades are being deployed on each and every page of the website, so that busy Connecticut homeowners from Greenwich to Stamford, Darien to Norwalk, and everywhere in between know that they have a “one stop shop” when it comes to in-home cleaning services.
