Cotswold & Foxcroft Carpet Cleaning | Since 1988

What Gets Into Cotswold and Foxcroft Carpet

Cotswold and Foxcroft sit under a heavy, decades-old tree canopy, and that shade lands on the floor. In spring the oaks and crepe myrtles drop a heavy load of pollen that drifts inside and settles into carpet, rugs, and upholstery, and the leaf and bark litter feeds the grit that comes in on shoes the rest of the year. Foxcroft's homes sit on large wooded lots, some close to an acre and a half, with deep lawns and long driveways on what used to be the Harris dairy farm, so there is a lot of yard and bare red-clay edge to cross between the car and the door. Underneath it all is Charlotte's Cecil red clay, which tracks in wet for much of the year and stains light wool.

Rug and Upholstery Cleaning in Cotswold and Foxcroft

These established mid-century homes tend to pair original hardwood with wool and Oriental rugs, along with older wool wall-to-wall in the bedrooms. Those natural fibers are the easiest thing in the house to ruin with the wrong cleaning. Too much heat, too much agitation, or water left to soak will felt, brown, or fade wool, and old dyes can bleed if they are flooded. Metro Steamway's owner is an IICRC-certified journeyman textile cleaner, so each rug is identified, tested for colorfastness, and cleaned by what it actually is. Upholstery is matched to the fabric rather than a single default setting.

How Our In-Home Carpet Cleaning Works

Metro Steamway cleans with a truck-mounted hot water extraction system. The heat and suction stay in the truck, so the crew brings in just the hose and wand. We work through the carpet room by room and clean area rugs in place on your floor. Drying is quick, which matters in Charlotte's humidity, since a carpet left damp can take on a musty smell. In these older homes that fast drying also keeps moisture off original hardwood and trim.
