Your carpets aren’t just floor covering—they’re the largest air filter in your home. When they’re actually clean, you breathe easier. Literally.
Clean carpets trap dust and allergens instead of releasing them every time someone walks across the room. Your kids can play on the floor without you worrying about what they’re breathing in. Pet accidents don’t become permanent reminders, and that musty smell that’s been lingering for months finally disappears.
The difference isn’t just what you see—it’s what you don’t smell, what doesn’t make you sneeze, and what doesn’t keep you up at night with allergy symptoms.
We’ve been serving Old Cambridge families since 2014. We’re the carpet cleaning company that shows up on time, does exactly what we said we’d do, and leaves your carpets cleaner than you thought possible.
We use eco-friendly products because we have families too. Our team knows the difference between surface cleaning and deep cleaning, and we know that Cambridge homes deal with everything from Harvard Square foot traffic to pet accidents in Porter Square apartments.
When your neighbors recommend a carpet cleaner, they’re usually talking about us. Not because we’re the cheapest, but because we’re the ones who actually solve the problem.
First, we inspect your carpets and identify problem areas—pet stains, high-traffic wear, or that spot where someone spilled wine six months ago. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Next comes pre-treatment. We apply eco-friendly solutions that break down embedded dirt and neutralize odors at the source. This isn’t the stuff you buy at the store that just pushes problems deeper into the fibers.
Then we use professional-grade hot water extraction equipment. This pulls dirt, allergens, and cleaning solution out of your carpet—not just from the surface, but from deep in the fibers where regular vacuums can’t reach. The result is carpets that dry faster and stay cleaner longer.

Every carpet cleaning includes pre-inspection, targeted stain treatment, and deep hot water extraction using family-safe products. We move furniture, protect your walls, and clean up after ourselves.
In Old Cambridge, we deal with specific challenges. The salt and sand from Massachusetts winters gets tracked into every home. The humidity from being near the Charles River can create mold issues if carpets aren’t properly dried. Historic homes often have unique carpet situations that require careful handling.
We know which products work on the oriental rugs common in Brattle Street homes, how to handle the high-traffic areas in student apartments near Harvard, and what it takes to get pet odors out of carpets in family homes throughout the neighborhood. This isn’t one-size-fits-all cleaning—it’s carpet care that works for how Cambridge residents actually live.
Most Cambridge homes need professional carpet cleaning every 12-18 months, but it depends on your specific situation. If you have pets, kids, or allergies, every 6-12 months makes more sense.
Cambridge’s seasonal challenges—like winter salt and spring pollen—mean your carpets work harder than average. High-traffic areas near entrances take a beating from wet boots and street debris. Pet owners usually need cleaning every 6 months to stay ahead of odors and allergens.
The real test is this: if regular vacuuming isn’t keeping your carpets looking fresh, or if you’re noticing more allergy symptoms at home, it’s time for professional cleaning.
Yes, we only use EPA-certified, eco-friendly cleaning products that are completely safe for families and pets. No harsh chemicals, no toxic residues, no strong fumes that linger for days.
Our cleaning solutions break down dirt and stains naturally, then rinse away completely during the extraction process. Your kids can play on the carpet as soon as it’s dry, and your pets won’t be exposed to anything harmful.
We switched to these products because we have families too. The old-school carpet cleaners that smell like chemicals and leave sticky residues? They work, but they’re not worth the health risks. Our eco-friendly approach cleans just as effectively without compromising your family’s safety.
Most pet stains and odors, yes—but success depends on how quickly you call us and what type of accident we’re dealing with. Fresh accidents are almost always completely removable. Old, set-in stains are more challenging but usually manageable.
We use enzyme-based treatments that break down the proteins in pet urine, not just mask the smell. This prevents your pets from returning to the same spot. For severe cases, we may need to treat the carpet padding or recommend additional steps.
The key is calling us before you try to clean it yourself. Many store-bought cleaners actually set stains permanently or spread them deeper into the fibers. If you’ve already tried to clean it, let us know—we can usually still help, but it might require different treatment.
Most carpets dry in 6-12 hours with our hot water extraction method, though Cambridge’s humidity can sometimes extend that to 24 hours. We use professional equipment that removes more water during cleaning, which means faster drying times.
Several factors affect drying time: carpet thickness, room temperature, humidity levels, and air circulation. We always set up fans and open windows when possible to speed the process. Synthetic carpets typically dry faster than natural fibers.
You can walk on damp carpets with clean socks or bare feet, but avoid shoes until they’re completely dry. If you need to use a room immediately, we can provide shoe covers to protect your newly cleaned carpets.
Yes, we move most furniture as part of our standard service. Sofas, chairs, coffee tables, and other moveable pieces get relocated so we can clean underneath. We place protective tabs under furniture legs to prevent damage to your carpets.
Very heavy items like pianos, entertainment centers, or bedroom sets usually stay in place, but we clean around them carefully and can clean under them if you move them beforehand. We always ask about your preferences during scheduling.
After cleaning, we can put everything back where it was, or you can wait until the carpet is completely dry to rearrange. Many clients use this as an opportunity to reorganize their space—there’s something satisfying about clean carpets and a fresh furniture layout.
Professional equipment extracts significantly more water and dirt than rental machines. Our truck-mounted systems generate more suction power and use hotter water, which means deeper cleaning and faster drying times.
Rental machines often leave carpets soaking wet because they can’t extract moisture effectively. This leads to longer drying times, potential mold growth, and carpets that get dirty again quickly because soap residue attracts dirt.
We also know which cleaning solutions work for specific stains and carpet types. Rental places give you generic products that might work—or might make problems worse. Our experience means we can identify issues and treat them correctly the first time, saving you the frustration of spending a weekend cleaning carpets that still don’t look right.
