Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in San Rafael, CA
Carpet and upholstery cleaning uses hot-water extraction (steam cleaning) and fiber-appropriate treatments to remove embedded soil, stains, allergens and odors from carpets, rugs, sofas and mattresses.
San Rafael is Marin County's commercial hub, so we run both residential recurring plans and after-hours office and medical-suite cleaning from the same corridor.
Local housing: Mid-century homes in Terra Linda, older properties around Dominican and downtown, and a compact commercial core.

Process
How it works
Four steps, no surprises, everything in writing.
- Step 1
Fiber inspection
We identify fiber and backing, then test in an inconspicuous area before any wet method.
- Step 2
Pre-treatment
Traffic lanes and spots get dwell time — the step most low-cost services skip.
- Step 3
Extraction
Hot-water extraction with controlled moisture so carpets don't over-wet or wick back.
- Step 4
Dry and inspect
Grooming, airflow and a final walkthrough on remaining spots with realistic expectations.
