Carpet and Rug Cleaning in Plainview, NY

Plainview homes get used. Kids cut through the den on the way to practice, the dog has a favorite corner of the living room, and the carpet in the hallway carries everybody from the garage to the kitchen a dozen times a day. American Carpet and Rug Cleaning Service comes to you with everything needed to get that carpet clean again, and we look before we quote so you know the full price before we start.

What Plainview Carpet Goes Through

A lot of houses here are capes, ranches and split levels with carpeted bedrooms, a finished basement and a family room that never really gets a day off. The wear shows up in the same places: gray lanes from the door to the couch, a darker strip at the bottom of the stairs, and the spot by the slider where everyone kicks off their shoes.

Those gray lanes are not just dirt sitting on top. They are grit worked down into the pile, and every footstep grinds it against the fibers. Vacuuming gets what is loose. Deep extraction with a full rinse gets what is packed in, and it leaves no soap behind to pull new dirt back in a month later. Carpet we clean onsite is typically dry within 4 to 6 hours, depending on humidity and airflow.

Finished basements need their own attention. Damp air down there holds odors in carpet longer, so we pay close attention to rinsing and drying, and we will tell you plainly if a smell is coming from the pad rather than the surface.

Area Rugs, Cleaned for What They Are Made Of

Area rugs are not carpet. A hand knotted wool rug, a viscose rug from a big box store, a flatweave and a washable synthetic all need different handling, and cleaning them the wrong way is how colors bleed and edges shrink.

Every rug gets inspected first. Sturdy synthetic rugs can usually be cleaned right in your home. Wool, silk, viscose and heavily soiled rugs come back to our facility, where they are dusted, washed, rinsed thoroughly and dried flat. We roll the rug, take it and bring it back clean, so you never have to lift a thing.

Sofas, Drapes and the Rest of the Room

The sofa holds the same dust, dander and spills as the carpet, it just hides them better. We check the fabric before anything touches it, because the wrong method can set a stain instead of lifting it. Drapes get the same care: each fabric gets its own method.

If you are already booking carpet, it is usually simplest to have the sofa, a chair or two and the living room drapes done in the same visit.

How a Visit Works

1. You tell us what needs cleaning: rooms, rugs, furniture and any problem spots. Photos help.
2. We inspect the fibers and the stains and give you the full price before any work starts.
3. We pretreat traffic lanes, pet areas and spots.
4. We clean with the method that fits the fiber, then rinse so nothing is left behind.
5. We walk the results with you before we leave. All work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee and a 30 day warranty.

Honest About Stains and Price

No honest cleaner can promise that every stain disappears. Old pet accidents that reached the pad, bleach spots and some dyes are permanent, and we will tell you up front what to realistically expect. We will also recommend honestly, even if that means the less expensive option. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Our solutions are non toxic and safe for kids and pets once dry. We are fully insured, and we can send a certificate of insurance if your building or association asks for one.

Nearby Towns We Cover

We also clean in Old Bethpage, Bethpage, Syosset, Woodbury, Jericho and Hicksville, along with the rest of Nassau County.
