WHY AVELO? · A HIGHER STANDARD AT HOME
Avelo exists to elevate the spaces our clients live and work in. Through precise upholstery care, Avelo removes the friction and burden of executing home cleaning services, delivering uncompromising attention to detail in every step. We leave every environment noticeably improved—and provide an experience that makes Avelo a trusted part of ongoing home care.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND AVELO
Founded by college roommates Derrick Tong and Aiden Murphy, Avelo grew from years of sharing spaces and a mutual attention to how those spaces were kept. Sofas, rugs, chairs, and mattresses shape how a home looks and feels, yet professional care can be inconvenient, overlooked, or difficult to fit into everyday life.
As we began working across different home environments, we saw how much restoring these pieces could change a room—not only in appearance and freshness, but in its overall comfort and sense of order. It reinforced something we had long believed: the spaces around us shape how we live. That became the foundation for Avelo.
That philosophy carries through to how we work. We consider the furniture, materials, and surrounding space before we begin, and treat each home as we would our own.
TWO BACKGROUNDS, ONE STANDARD
Before Avelo, one of us worked on how fabrics are made and cared for, and the other on how service should feel inside someone's home. Every visit brings the two together: someone who knows what your fabric can take, and someone who makes sure the visit feels effortless.
The fabric
Derrick spent two years as a product manager in textiles at Hedley & Bennett, working on fiber content, finishes, dye behavior and how fabrics hold up to washing and wear.
It's why every visit starts with the cleaning code and a hidden spot test. Linen, cotton, velvet, rayon blends and dyed fabrics each respond differently, and most upholstery damage happens when nobody checks.
The home
Aiden spent three years in sales, operations and customer care at Equinox, Blue Bottle Coffee and a provider of in-home personal care, where he guided families through the stressful process of setting up and paying a caregiver in their own homes.
It taught him that service inside someone's home is as much about how they feel while you're there as the work itself: clear expectations, a calm visit, and nothing left for you to manage.
THE IDEA BEHIND THE SERVICE
The pieces closest to everyday life—sofas, rugs, chairs, cushions, and mattresses—quietly collect the evidence of use. Caring for them restores more than appearance. It improves how a room feels, how confidently it presents, and how fully you can enjoy it.
That is why Avelo approaches surface care as an enduring improvement to the home: assess carefully, treat methodically, communicate clearly, and leave the space feeling considered again.
CARE, BACKED BY COVERAGE
Inviting someone into your home requires trust. Avelo Cleaning is fully insured for the professional in-home upholstery care we provide, and every visit is approached with the same quiet preparation, clear communication, and respect for the surrounding space.
