What Gets Into Davidson Carpet
Davidson is a lake town, and the lake comes indoors. Homes here sit on and near the water, Lake Norman and Lake Davidson, with lake-access communities all over town, so sand, lake mud, and wet feet come off the docks and boats and across the carpet through the summer. The damp air off the water keeps carpet and upholstery from drying quickly, so anything that gets wet can turn musty. Davidson is also built to be walked, around the college, downtown, and the greenway, so people cross pollen-dusted sidewalks and park grass on foot and bring more of the outside back in than a drive-everywhere suburb. Underneath it is the same Piedmont red clay that tracks in and stains light fiber.
Rug and Carpet Cleaning for Davidson's Two Sides
Davidson is really two housing worlds. The historic homes around Main Street pair original hardwood with wool area rugs and runners, and those natural fibers are the easiest thing to ruin with the wrong cleaning, so we identify the fiber, test the dyes, and clean each rug by what it actually is. Our owner is an IICRC-certified journeyman textile cleaner. The newer lake and golf communities like River Run run builder-grade wall-to-wall that greys and mats in the traffic lanes, and hot water extraction lifts that soil and stands the pile back up. One truck handles both.
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 this close to the water, since a carpet left damp can take on a musty smell.
Davidson Carpet Cleaning FAQs
We track sand and lake mud in off the dock all summer. Can you get it out of the carpet?
Yes. Sand and lake silt settle into the base of the carpet where a vacuum cannot reach. Hot water extraction flushes them out and stands the pile back up.
Can you clean a wool or Oriental rug from a historic Davidson home?
Yes. We clean rugs right on your floor. We identify the fiber, test the dyes, and use a method the rug can handle, so it never leaves your home.
How long does the carpet take to dry?
Usually a few hours. The truck-mounted system pulls most of the water back out, so the carpet is dry the same day. This close to the water that matters, since a carpet left damp can take on a musty smell.

Metro did a great job on my light-colored, textured carpets. They called to let me know when they would be here and took care of all the spots that I pointed out.
We recently hired Metro Steamway, for the first time, to tackle many pet stains — and we are very pleased with the results!
Brian is as professional as they come. I use him on my personal homes and recommend him to all my clients.
