Services Designed for Your Textiles
Each service addresses specific cleaning needs with methods suited to the materials involved. Choose the care your carpets, furniture, and rugs deserve.
Back to HomeThree Approaches to Textile Care
We offer three core services, each developed to address different textile care needs. While the fundamental principles remain consistent—assessment, appropriate methods, quality results—the specific techniques vary based on what we're cleaning.
All services include thorough assessment, transparent communication about what's achievable, and care instructions for maintaining results. Pricing is straightforward with no hidden fees.
Carpet Refreshing
Over time, carpets accumulate what regular vacuuming can't remove—embedded soil, allergens, and the dulling that comes from foot traffic. Our process uses hot water extraction methods that clean deeply while being mindful of your carpet's specific fiber type.
What This Includes
- • Pre-inspection and fiber type assessment
- • Pre-treatment of high-traffic areas and spots
- • Hot water extraction with appropriate solutions
- • Furniture moving and replacement (standard pieces)
- • Grooming and drying time guidance
Upholstery Care
Sofas, chairs, and other upholstered pieces deserve attention suited to their materials. We assess fabric type before beginning, selecting appropriate methods and products. The process addresses surface soil, embedded particles, and—where possible—spots and stains.
What This Includes
- • Fabric identification and testing
- • Method selection based on material type
- • Careful cleaning of all accessible surfaces
- • Spot treatment discussion and realistic expectations
- • Drying guidance and maintenance recommendations
Area Rug Treatment
Area rugs present particular considerations—dyes, natural fibers, backing materials, and often significant investment. We assess each rug individually, discussing its characteristics and any concerns you have. Depending on the piece, we may recommend in-home cleaning or transportation to our facility.
What This Includes
- • Individual rug assessment and consultation
- • Dye stability testing and material evaluation
- • In-home or facility cleaning (situation dependent)
- • Careful handling throughout process
- • Special consultation for antique or valuable pieces

Questions About Our Services
Common questions we hear about textile care services and straightforward answers.
Can you combine services?
Yes, many clients schedule carpet and upholstery cleaning together, or have area rugs cleaned along with carpeting. Combining services often makes logistical sense and we can discuss scheduling that minimizes disruption to your household.
How often should textiles be professionally cleaned?
It depends on use patterns and household factors. High-traffic homes with pets might benefit from carpet cleaning every six to twelve months. Lower-traffic areas could go eighteen months to two years. Upholstery typically needs attention less frequently, perhaps every eighteen months to three years. We can discuss what makes sense for your situation.
What about stain removal guarantees?
We're honest about stain possibilities rather than making guarantees we can't keep. Some stains respond well to professional treatment, others are permanent. We assess each situation individually and discuss realistic expectations before we begin. Our goal is improvement, not false promises.
Do you move furniture?
For carpet cleaning, we move standard furniture like sofas, chairs, and tables. Very heavy pieces, electronics, and items containing valuables typically stay in place, and we clean around them. We discuss specific situations during scheduling to ensure we're prepared.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
We use professional-grade products that are formulated to be safe when properly applied and rinsed. Most are low-toxicity and pH-balanced. We can discuss specific concerns about sensitivities or preferences you might have, and adjust our product selection if needed.
What preparation do I need to do?
Basic vacuuming helps but isn't required. For carpet cleaning, removing small items and valuables from the area is helpful. For upholstery, clearing cushions and items from furniture surfaces makes our work easier. We discuss specific preparation during scheduling.
