Carpet Cleaning Services in Portland
Residential Carpet Cleaning
Hot water extraction cleaning for wall-to-wall carpet throughout your home. We clean the whole fiber, not just the surface, so the dirt doesn't come back up in two weeks.
Free On-Site Estimate
We come out, look at the carpet, and give you a written quote before any work starts. No surprises when the job is done.
Area Rug Cleaning
Area rugs need different handling than wall-to-wall carpet — especially wool, cotton, or older rugs. We check the fiber type before we start so we don't damage what you have.
Upholstery Cleaning
Sofas and upholstered chairs hold the same dust, pet dander, and tracked-in salt as your carpet. We clean fabric upholstery using a low-moisture method that won't soak through to the cushion core.
Pricing Factors
What Affects the Cost
Total carpet area
The more square footage you have, the more time and solution the job takes. A studio apartment and a four-bedroom house in Scarborough are completely different jobs in terms of labor and materials.
Level of soiling
Carpet that hasn't been cleaned in several years, or that has seen heavy foot traffic from a large household, takes more pre-treatment and more extraction passes. Lightly used carpet in a spare bedroom cleans faster.
Pet stains and odors
Pet urine that has soaked into the pad requires enzyme treatment in addition to standard cleaning. If the urine reached the subfloor, that adds another step entirely. This is one of the biggest variables in what a job costs.
Furniture moving
We move standard pieces, but very large or heavy furniture takes extra time. If most of a room is taken up by a heavy sectional or a wall of filled bookshelves, factor that into what the job involves.
Carpet fiber type
Synthetic carpet like nylon or polyester cleans straightforwardly. Natural fibers like wool need lower water temperature and a gentler approach, which takes more care and time. Older carpets that are already worn may also need a lighter touch to avoid damage.
