Our Work

The proof is in the fabric.

Every photo below is from a real Apex job in a real Bay Area home — no stock images, no staging. This is what deep, careful extraction actually looks like.

Knoll Womb Chair cleaning — done right.

The Knoll Womb Chair is a design icon: sculpted foam under fine wool-blend and bouclé upholstery. Clean it like an ordinary couch and you risk shrinkage, browning and texture damage, so it needs a fabric-specific approach.

We assess the fabric first and use a low-moisture, fabric-specific process that respects the wool, protects the shape and brings the colour back. The chairs below are our work. Apex is an independent cleaner, not affiliated with Knoll or any furniture maker.
