You know that feeling when you vacuum and the carpet still looks tired? That’s because surface cleaning only gets so far. Real carpet cleaning pulls out the ground-in dirt, the pet dander that’s been building up for months, and those mystery stains that seem to reappear no matter what you try.
When your carpets are actually clean, you notice the difference immediately. The colors look richer. The texture feels softer under your feet. Your house smells fresher instead of that subtle mustiness you’d gotten used to.
And if anyone in your home deals with allergies or asthma, properly cleaned carpets make a real difference in how they breathe. Cambridge homes see a lot of seasonal changes, and all that outdoor stuff finds its way into your carpet fibers where it sits until someone with the right equipment gets it out.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Cambridge families for over a decade, and we’ve built our reputation on one simple principle: do the job thoroughly and use products that won’t put your family at risk.
We’re a family-run business, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who actually care about the work we do. No corporate scripts or rushed appointments. We take time to understand what you’re dealing with and explain what we’re going to do about it.
Cambridge residents appreciate that we use eco-friendly, non-toxic products exclusively. Whether you’ve got crawling toddlers, curious pets, or just want to avoid harsh chemicals in your home, you can relax knowing the cleaning process won’t leave behind anything you wouldn’t want your family breathing.
First, we inspect your carpets to identify problem areas, heavy traffic zones, and any stains that need special attention. No surprises or hidden fees – you know exactly what you’re getting before we start.
Next comes the pre-treatment. We apply eco-friendly solutions to break down the buildup that regular vacuuming can’t touch. This isn’t just spraying and hoping – we know which products work on which problems.
The deep cleaning uses hot water extraction, which is what carpet manufacturers actually recommend. Hot water and safe cleaning agents get pumped deep into the carpet fibers, then immediately extracted along with all the dirt, allergens, and residue. It’s like giving your carpets a complete reset.
We finish by ensuring everything dries properly and checking that you’re completely satisfied with the results. Most carpets are ready for normal use within a few hours, not days.

Your carpet cleaning service includes thorough vacuuming, pre-treatment of stains and high-traffic areas, hot water extraction cleaning, and post-cleaning inspection. We also move lightweight furniture and replace it when finished.
Cambridge homes deal with unique challenges – from salt and sand tracked in during winter months to pollen and mud during spring rains. We understand these local conditions and adjust our approach accordingly. We know that carpets near Harvard Square see different wear patterns than those in residential neighborhoods, and we clean accordingly.
We also handle pet accidents, wine spills, and those mysterious stains that seem to appear out of nowhere. If it’s in your carpet, we’ve probably seen it before and know how to get it out safely.
The service includes deodorizing treatment if needed, and we’ll give you realistic expectations about what can and can’t be removed. No overpromising, just honest assessment and professional results.
Most carpets are dry enough for normal foot traffic within 2-4 hours, though complete drying can take 6-8 hours depending on humidity and air circulation. The hot water extraction method we use removes most of the moisture during cleaning, so you’re not left with soggy carpets for days.
You can speed up drying by running fans, opening windows if weather permits, or turning on your air conditioning. We’ll give you specific recommendations based on your home’s conditions and the time of year.
Yes, we use only eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for families with children and pets. These aren’t just “green-washed” versions of harsh chemicals – they’re genuinely safe formulations that clean effectively without leaving harmful residues.
Once your carpets are dry, kids and pets can resume normal activities without any concerns. The products break down naturally and don’t leave behind the chemical smell or residue that some traditional cleaners do. This is especially important for families with crawling babies or pets who spend time on the floor.
For most Cambridge homes, annual professional cleaning maintains good carpet health and appearance. However, families with pets or young children typically benefit from cleaning every 6-8 months, while homes with allergy sufferers might need service every 3-4 months.
High-traffic areas like entryways and living rooms may need attention more frequently than bedrooms. We’ll assess your specific situation during the initial visit and give you a realistic maintenance schedule based on your family’s needs, not a sales pitch for unnecessary services.
Most pet stains and odors can be eliminated completely with proper treatment, though success depends on how long the stain has been there and what type of carpet you have. Fresh accidents are almost always completely removable, while older, set-in stains may require more intensive treatment.
We use enzyme-based treatments that actually break down the organic compounds causing odors, rather than just masking them with fragrances. For severe cases, we may recommend additional treatments or padding replacement, but we’ll always give you honest assessment of what’s possible before starting work.
Professional equipment uses much higher water temperatures and stronger suction than rental machines, which means better dirt extraction and faster drying. The cleaning solutions are also commercial-grade and designed to work with professional equipment.
More importantly, professional cleaners know how to adjust their approach for different carpet types, stain conditions, and soil levels. Rental machines use a one-size-fits-all approach that can sometimes over-wet carpets or leave residue behind. With professional service, you get the right treatment for your specific carpets and conditions.
Yes, we provide free estimates and can often give you accurate pricing over the phone based on your square footage and specific needs. For more complex situations or if you prefer an in-person assessment, we’ll schedule a convenient time to evaluate your carpets and provide detailed pricing.
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. The estimate covers everything needed to get your carpets properly clean, and we’ll explain exactly what’s included so you can make an informed decision about your carpet care.
