Upholstery Cleaning in Griffith, IN
When you need professional upholstery cleaning in Griffith, you want a neighborhood team that knows the area. Ajax Carpet Service has been family-owned and operated since 1978, working out of our Hammond headquarters and serving Griffith homes from Northwest Griffith to Downtown Griffith to the streets around Central Park. Griffith is a self-described 'town of friendly people' with a real walkable Broad Street downtown and one of the region's best trail networks, with classic 1940s through 1960s bungalows and ranches that have housed multiple generations, with pockets of newer infill construction — and we've been taking care of carpets in homes just like yours for over four decades.
For upholstery cleaning we rely on truck-mounted hot water extraction with low-moisture upholstery tools sized for delicate fabrics. That means lifting body oils, food spills, pet dander, and ground-in dust out of the cushions and arms of your furniture, so your home looks and feels noticeably fresher when we're done. We handle the kind of wear Griffith carpets actually face: the gradual darkening of armrests and headrests, food and beverage spills, and pet hair worked deep into the weave. Whether you live in an established home near the Griffith-Merrillville Railroad Museum at the historic Grand Trunk depot or a newer build closer to Broad Street and Ridge Road, we approach every job with the same care and the same honest pricing.
We understand that life in Griffith is busy — between work, school events, weekends spent at the Oak Savannah Trail, and everything in between. You don't have time to coordinate around a contractor who shows up late, leaves a mess, or surprises you with add-ons at the end. We arrive when we say we will, do the job we agreed to, and clean up after ourselves. That's the bare minimum for a hometown company that wants to still be in business in another forty years.
Because we've been based in Lake County since 1978, we know the conditions Griffith homes face — humid summers, salt-and-slush winters, and the kind of grit that gets tracked in off Broad Street and Ridge Road. We also know the difference between work that holds up and work that doesn't. Every job gets the same equipment and the same attention to detail, whether it's a one-room upholstery cleaning call or a whole-house project.
If you've been putting off a upholstery cleaning project at your Griffith home, this is your sign to take care of it. We serve every part of town — Northwest Griffith, Downtown Griffith, Central Park area, and the areas around Central Park and the Griffith-Merrillville Railroad Museum at the historic Grand Trunk depot. For a free, no-pressure evaluation and an honest quote, call us at (219) 933-1019.
How We Clean Upholstery in Griffith Homes
Every couch, sectional, and chair we touch in Griffith gets the same careful workflow. We start by identifying the fabric type so we choose the right tool and the right amount of moisture — synthetic blends, microfiber, and natural fibers all behave differently. Then we pre-treat soiled areas, agitate gently, and use our truck-mounted unit with a low-moisture upholstery wand to lift out the soil. The truck stays outside, so the only thing in your living room is a clean hose and our technician. Most pieces are touch-dry within a few hours.
Why Furniture in Griffith Needs Professional Cleaning
The favorite seat in the house gets used every single night. Over months and years, body oils, hair products, snack crumbs, and pet residue work their way into the fabric — long before the cushions look visibly dirty. Griffith homes also deal with the same lake-effect dust and seasonal pollen that affects carpets. A professional hot water extraction reaches what vacuuming can't, and it does it without soaking the cushion fill the way a rented home unit would.
Trusted by Griffith Families Since 1978
We've been cleaning upholstery in Lake County since 1978, which means we've worked on just about every kind of furniture you can imagine — from heirloom pieces in the Victorians around Crown Point's Courthouse Square to modern sectionals in newer Griffith builds. We treat every piece like it's our own. If a fabric isn't a good candidate for wet cleaning, we'll tell you up front instead of taking the job and hoping for the best.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neighborhoods in Griffith do you serve?
We serve every part of Griffith, including Northwest Griffith, Downtown Griffith, Central Park area, the area around Griffith High School, and South Griffith near Ridge Road, plus the areas around Central Park and the Griffith-Merrillville Railroad Museum at the historic Grand Trunk depot. Because we're based in Hammond, we're a short drive from anywhere in Griffith and can usually schedule quickly. Call (219) 933-1019 and let us know where you are.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Most Griffith upholstery jobs are touch-dry in 2 to 6 hours and fully dry within 24 hours. Running a ceiling fan in the room speeds it up.
Will cleaning shrink or damage my fabric?
Not when it's done correctly. We identify the fabric before we ever start, and we use the appropriate temperature and moisture for each material. Pieces with a 'dry clean only' tag — like some silks — we'll flag and discuss alternatives.
Can you treat pet stains and odors on couches?
In many cases yes, especially when the spill is on the fabric surface. Stains that have soaked into the cushion foam are harder. Call (219) 933-1019 and describe what you're dealing with so we can give you a realistic expectation.
Do you clean leather?
No — we focus on fabric upholstery. Leather requires a different process from a leather specialist.
