About this job
The hallway carpet showed it first: a wide grey-brown path running door to door where the pile had taken the worst of the foot traffic, while the edges near the baseboards stayed close to their original light tan. The homeowner wanted that corridor brought back along with the carpet in one room and the 13 stairs connecting the floors, and asked us to take on 120 square feet of tile and grout in the same visit so the whole run of flooring matched.
We cleaned the carpet with truck-mounted hot water extraction, working the hallway lane slowly and finishing the stairs tread by tread. The tile and grout were scrubbed first, then rinsed with hot steam extraction to pull the loosened soil out of the grout lines rather than push it around. Carpet pile was groomed on the way out, which is what gives the hallway and room those even lines in the after photos. We were on site about 4 hours, and the visit came to $458.40.

Scope of work
Questions about carpet cleaning in Palatine
Carpet dries in 2-4 hours with air movers, and up to 6 hours for heavy soil. The tile and grout are different: you can walk on your floors right away. Keeping air moving through the house helps the carpet along.
Carpet in one room, one hallway and 13 stairs, plus 120 square feet of tile and grout. The hallway had the heaviest traffic lane of the carpeted areas. The whole visit took about 4 hours.
Yes, and it is common in homes where carpet meets tile at a doorway like this one. We clean the carpet with truck-mounted hot water extraction and scrub the tile before rinsing it with hot steam extraction, both from the same truck.
Stairs are counted and priced by the step, since each tread and riser is cleaned individually by hand with the extraction tool. This home had 13 stairs cleaned along with the room and hallway. Call our Barrington office at (847) 994-1171 to book.
