Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in Winnetka

Wool Carpet & Stairs in Older Homes

Wool is the best carpet fiber there is, but it doesn't forgive shortcuts. Strong alkaline cleaners and too much heat can yellow it or rough up the pile, and over-wetting leaves it damp for a day. We confirm the fiber before we start, use a wool-safe solution at a lower temperature, and make extra dry passes so the pile dries evenly. Staircases are cleaned by hand, one tread at a time.

Beach Sand & Lagoon Grit

Sand from Tower Road Beach and Elder Lane Beach, and fine silt from the Skokie Lagoons trails, sink to the base of the carpet where a household vacuum can't reach. Left there, the grit grinds at the fibers every time someone crosses the room. We vacuum out the dry soil first, pre-treat mudrooms and back halls, then rinse everything out with truck-mounted extraction.

Formal Rooms & Fine Upholstery

Linen, velvet, chenille, and cotton damask each react differently to water. Before we clean a sofa or a set of dining chairs, we read the care tag, test a hidden spot for color bleed and shrinkage, and pick the gentlest method that will do the job. If a fabric is a poor candidate for wet cleaning, you hear that from us before we touch it.
