Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in Lake Forest

Fireplace Soot & Hearth Rugs

Soot is oily and extremely fine. Rub it and it smears into a permanent gray shadow; wet it and it sinks in. We lift loose soot dry with a vacuum held just above the surface, then break down what remains with a solvent spotter before any rinsing. Hearth rugs are best washed at our plant, where they can be dusted from the back first.

Viscose, Tencel & “Art Silk”

A great deal of high-end carpet and many designer rugs are made of viscose, sold as art silk, bamboo silk, or Tencel. It looks like silk and reacts badly to water: it can yellow, stiffen, and lose its sheen. We test the fiber before we quote. If it's viscose, we use as little moisture as possible, groom the pile as it dries, and tell you plainly what result to expect.

Guest Rooms & Closed-Up Spaces

A guest suite, coach house, or third floor that sits shut for months develops a stale smell, and wool carpet in a quiet room is where moths like to settle. A thorough vacuuming along the edges and under furniture, followed by extraction, clears out the dust they feed on. Scheduling it a week or two before guests arrive leaves time to air the room.
