Why homeowners switch
Most carpet companies in this region sell a hose and a price per room. We sell an outcome you can walk on tonight — and we’ve built the whole operation around five non-negotiables.
Every technician is background-checked, IICRC-certified and employed by us — never a subcontractor or a franchise lead handed to a stranger. The person who quotes your job is the person who cleans it.
Our commercial portable extractors deliver 212°F water and 250 PSI — the numbers that actually matter — while going anywhere a cart can go. Ninth-floor condo, basement rec room, interior office suite: same clean, no 200-foot hose through your front door, no entrance propped open all afternoon.
Green Seal certified, non-toxic, fragrance-optional chemistry with zero soap residue left behind. Residue is what re-attracts dirt, so skipping it is why our cleans last 3–5 months longer than a standard rinse.
Complete liability coverage for your home and your rugs. And when a stain is permanent color loss rather than dirt, we tell you before we charge. Twice in 28 years we've advised a customer not to book us.
4.9 average across 1,284 verified reviews. Roughly 4 in 10 new jobs arrive by referral from a street we cleaned last month — which is the only marketing metric we actually track.
Five services, one method, one price. Nothing here is a “starting from” number that quietly grows — stain removal, deodorizing, sanitizing, pre-treatment of heavy traffic and every closet are already inside the quote.
Commercial-grade extraction at 212°F lifts years of compacted grit, oil and traffic-lane grey out of the pile — then pulls 99.7% of the water back out with it. This is the method carpet manufacturers require to keep your warranty valid.
Fabric-tested, hand-detailed cleaning for the things you actually sit on. We match the method to the material — dry-clean solvent for delicate weaves, low-moisture extraction for performance fabrics, pH-balanced conditioning for leather.
Fine rugs don’t die from dirt — they die from dust embedded in the foundation. We clean every oriental and area rug in your home, in six steps: a thorough vacuum, a pre-inspection and colorfastness test, dusting to release the grit in the foundation, pre-treatment of spots, then steam cleaning and water extraction.
Odor isn't masked, it's digested. We locate every deposit with a UV wand, inject enzyme treatment below the backing where the urine actually pooled, then extract. If the pad is compromised we'll tell you honestly before you spend a dollar.
Weekday scheduling planned around your business, medical-grade sanitizing and post-construction dust removal. Because our units are fully portable we can work the 14th floor as easily as the lobby — no hose running through your entrance. For rentals and closings we produce photo documentation your property manager or lender will actually accept.
Most “steam cleaning” in this market is a single wet pass — it rinses the top of the fiber and leaves the grit and the soap sitting underneath. This is what a full restoration actually looks like, and why ours lasts twice as long.
And our equipment comes to the work. Commercial portable extractors hit the same 212°F and 250 PSI as the big rigs, but they ride the elevator — so a ninth-floor condo, a walk-up or an interior suite gets the identical clean, with no hose running through your front door.
We identify the fiber, test for colorfastness, walk the room with you and mark every trouble spot. You get a fixed price before we unpack a single hose.
Up to 79% of carpet soil is dry particulate, and water can't move it. We vacuum with a commercial HEPA unit first — this step is what separates a real clean from a rinse.
A baby-and-pet-safe emulsifier goes on, then a counter-rotating brush machine drives it deep into the pile to break the bond between oil, grit and fiber.
212°F water at 250 PSI flushes the pile while high-flow vacuum recovery pulls it straight back out — nearly all of it. We groom the fibers upright so they dry standing, then apply protector across the main traffic areas.
Vacuuming lifts the surface. The grit that actually cuts fiber sits below it, and it takes hot-water extraction to move.
Every step turns embedded silica into a blade against the fiber. A carpet cleaned annually outlasts a neglected one by years.
Replacement is roughly nine times the cost per square foot. Restoration is the cheap option and it is the one we sell.
“We don't want you needing us again for six months. That's not a sales line — it's the actual interval your carpet should be cleaned on, and we'll tell you when to book rather than leave you guessing.”

The fine print, in big type
A guarantee is only worth something if the company is still answering the phone in six months. We’ve been answering this one since 1998.
Not happy with a section within 24 hours? Tell us and we re-clean that section, free.
Soap residue is a dirt magnet. We pH-neutralize on the final rinse so your carpet stays clean longer — typically 3–5 months longer than a standard rinse.
Every job below was cleaned by a Maple technician on a Maple truck in the last eighteen months. Hover a frame for the street, the service and what actually had to come out of the fiber.
Ten years of traffic lanes on a cream nylon pile. Two passes, groomed, protector applied.
Low-moisture hand detail on a performance-weave sectional. Dry in 90 minutes.
Body-oil grey lines lifted from armrests and headrests on six dining chairs.
Dry-soil dusting released 4.2 lbs of embedded grit from a 9×12 foundation.
Colorfastness tested, dusted, pre-treated and steam cleaned in the living room. Fringes hand-cleaned, never bleached.
pH-balanced leather clean and condition on eight pieces. Dry before dinner.
Weekday cycle on the 11th floor — portable units, no hose through the lobby.

I was ready to rip the carpet out and put down hardwood. Maple cleaned it and it genuinely looks like the day the builder installed it. My husband thought we’d been scammed on price — it was that good.

Whole-home carpet
Two dogs, one very old carpet. They mapped the odor with a blacklight in front of me, showed me exactly what they were treating, and the smell is gone. Not covered up. Gone.

Pet odor remediation
Quoted me on the phone in four minutes, showed up at 8:10 on a Saturday, and the price on the invoice was the price on the phone. In this area that is basically unheard of.

We manage 40 units and Maple does every move-out. Photo documentation, no drama with tenants, and not one lost deposit in three years. They’re the reason our turn time dropped by two days.

My grandmother’s Tabriz rug came back looking like the one in the photo on her wall from 1974. They hand-cleaned the fringe instead of bleaching it like the last company did.

We’re on the ninth floor and three companies told us they couldn’t reach us. Maple carried their units up, worked overnight, and the waiting-room carpet looked like a showroom at 6am.

Commercial sanitizing
Carpet was dry enough to walk on in about four hours. The last company soaked it and it smelled like a wet dog for two days.

Honest is the word. They told me one bedroom was beyond saving and that I should not pay them to clean it. Charged me for three rooms instead of four.

Four to six hours for standard residential carpet, and often less. Our high-flow extraction recovers 99.7% of the water we put down, so the pile is barely damp to the touch when we finish. You can walk on it immediately in clean socks or the booties we leave you. Running your HVAC fan or cracking a window speeds it up further.
We run commercial-grade portable extraction units that hit 212°F and 250 PSI, which is the heat and pressure that actually matters for breaking the bond between soil and fiber. The practical advantage over a vehicle-mounted system is access: we carry our equipment to the work, so a ninth-floor condo, a walk-up, an interior office suite or a basement all get exactly the same clean. No 200-foot hose snaked through your front door, no propped-open entrance, no building that's 'too difficult to reach.'
Yes. Everything we apply is Green Seal certified, non-toxic, residue-free and pH-neutralized on the final rinse. There is no harsh chemical smell, no sticky residue that re-attracts dirt, and no waiting period before your kids or dogs go back on the floor. If anyone in the home is chemically sensitive, tell us when you book and we'll use our fragrance-free line.
That's the whole point of how we work. You get a fixed price before we start, and the invoice matches it. Stain removal, deodorizing, sanitizing, pre-treatment of heavy traffic areas, closets and stair vacuuming are all inside that one number. We will never stand in your living room adding line items.
No honest company can promise that, and we won't. Fresh and standard stains — food, drink, mud, most pet accidents — come out. Some synthetic dyes, bleach marks and old pet urine that has destroyed the fiber backing are permanent color loss, not dirt. We tell you which is which before we charge you, and if a spot is beyond saving we'll say so rather than take your money.
Not when it's done correctly. Shrinkage comes from over-wetting natural fibers like jute-backed wool, or from leaving the pad soaked. We identify the fiber first, control the moisture, and recover almost all of it. Hot water extraction is the specific method nearly every carpet manufacturer recommends to keep your warranty valid.
Every 6 to 12 months for a typical home, and every 3 to 6 months if you have pets, kids, or high traffic. Commercial space under daily foot traffic should be on a scheduled program — we'll set one up with a cleaning log so you have documentation for inspections or a lease renewal.
No. We move small and medium pieces — sofas, chairs, coffee tables, ottomans — and place glides or pads under the legs so nothing wicks. Large dressers, entertainment centers, pianos and anything fragile stay where they are; we clean around them and protect the edges. Closet cleaning is always free, including walk-ins.
