Six Rooms and 27 Stairs Carpet Cleaned in Vernon Hills, IL

About this job

The house was empty of furniture in most areas, which made a six-room carpet job straightforward to walk and plan. Light-colored loop and cut-pile carpet ran through the main rooms, up the staircase and across the landings, and the traffic lanes and stair treads had taken on the dull, flattened look that comes from everyday use. The customer wanted the whole carpeted footprint done in one visit: six carpeted areas plus the stairs, billed at 27 steps.

Each area was vacuumed first, then pretreated and cleaned with truck-mounted hot water extraction, working the stairs tread by tread. To finish, our tech ran a CRB — counter-rotating brush — scrub over the carpet to lift embedded soil out of the base of the pile and stand the fibers back up. That step matters most in the traffic lanes and on the landings, where foot pressure packs the yarn down.

The full visit ran about 3 hours, including the staircase and both landings. Carpet dries in 2-4 hours with air movers, up to 6 hours for heavy soil, so the homeowner had the floors back the same day. The total for the visit was $559.
