RH Restaurant Wood Floor & Upholstery Cleaning in Meatpacking District NYC
NYC Steam Cleaning provided commercial deep cleaning for RH Restaurant in NYC’s Meatpacking District. Our multi-stage process restored high-traffic wood floors and velvet sofas to pristine condition.
Project Overview
Service: Commercial Wood Floor Cleaning & Fine Upholstery Restoration
Location: Meatpacking District, Manhattan, NY (Near High Line & Gansevoort St)
We were contacted by RH Restaurant in the Meatpacking District to deliver full-scope overnight deep cleaning. Heavy foot traffic and frequent dining service had dulled the expansive hardwood flooring and stained the luxury custom sofas and velvet seating throughout the multi-level dining area.
Conventional cleaning methods often fail on high-traffic grease and delicate luxury upholstery. Our task was to strip away accumulated soil, food oils, and scuffs while preserving the delicate finishes of luxury materials before the next morning’s opening.
The Process
Pre-Inspection & Surface Testing: Tested pH compatibility on custom velvet fabrics and delicate wood sealants to ensure zero discoloration or finish degradation.
Hardwood Floor Deep Extraction: Utilized low-moisture auto-scrubbing equipment paired with wood-safe alkaline cleaners to lift grease and embedded dirt, followed by a protective neutralizer.
Fine Upholstery & Sofa Sanitization: Applied low-moisture hot water extraction to deep-clean velvet and wool-blend dining chairs, lifting organic food spots without oversaturating the padding.
Leather Conditioning: Hand-cleaned and conditioned all leather seating using premium oils to restore softness, shine, and moisture barrier protection.
