Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our truck-mounted steam cleaning removes deep-seated dirt and allergens using high-temperature extraction. We pre-vacuum, condition, agitate, and extract soils while applying protective treatments to prolong cleanliness. The process includes airflow optimization for rapid drying within 4-7 hours, ensuring safe, hygienic results for homes and businesses.
Oriental Rug Cleaning
Specialized cleaning for delicate and heirloom rugs involves pre-inspection, dye stabilization, and customized washing methods. We use pH-balanced solutions and temperature-controlled drying chambers to preserve fibers and colors. Additional services include fringe restoration, moth deterrent application, and protective padding installation for long-term preservation.
Water Damage Restoration
Emergency water extraction services utilize industrial pumps and moisture detection tools to remove standing water and dry structural components. Our IICRC-certified technicians follow strict protocols for mold prevention and content restoration, working with homeowners and insurers to return properties to pre-loss conditions efficiently and safely.
Upholstery Cleaning
Steam and dry-cleaning methods restore furniture fabrics without compromising integrity. We test materials for solvent compatibility, then apply targeted treatments for stain removal and deodorization. The process extends upholstery lifespan while eliminating allergens and odors from pet accidents or spills.
Ceramic Tile Cleaning
High-pressure TURBO cleaning systems remove grime from tile surfaces and grout lines. We pre-condition, scrub, and extract soils using softened water to prevent mineral buildup. The service restores tile appearance and includes optional sealing to resist future staining while maintaining slip-resistant surfaces.

Kerry McDuffie, the owner and the person who performed our carpet cleaning services did an outstanding job! He thoroughly steam cleaned all of the carpets in my Dad's house which hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. The carpeting is high quality wool, but at least 25 years old. Kerry literally made these carpets look brand new. He spent several hours cleaning until they were perfect. Both my Dad and I are extremely pleased with the service and highly recommend

The carpet looked and smelled worse after they vacuumed it and used their silly carpet machine for a very short time. They showed up a day late. Charged three times more than advertised and if that wasn't enough ruined our baseboards with their machine. Asked not to get paid in cash by sending a text message after making the appointment and then charged 3% credit card fees after the job is completed. The tech said that's standard operating procedure. I should have just ignored that message and pay him in cash to avoid the cc fees. In my opinion it's nothing but a scam.
