Dilworth Carpet Cleaning | Since 1988

What Gets Into Dilworth Carpet

Dilworth was Charlotte's first streetcar suburb, and it is built to be walked. People walk to East Boulevard, to Latta Park, and to the light rail on the South End edge, so shoes are crossing pollen-dusted sidewalks and clay all day and coming back through the front door. The 1910s bungalows sit on small lots with short driveways, so cars park at the curb and everyone comes up the front walk on foot. Under the century-old oaks on the Olmsted-planned streets, spring brings the same heavy oak and pine pollen the rest of the city gets, and it settles into carpet and rugs. Charlotte's red clay tracks in wet for much of the year. And because so much of Dilworth is a historic district, the old homes are almost always under careful renovation, which leaves dust and grit on the walks that ends up inside.

Rug and Upholstery Cleaning in Dilworth

Most Dilworth bungalows kept their original hardwood floors, layered with area rugs, and the upholstered furniture in these homes gets daily use. Older wool and Oriental rugs have to be cleaned by what they are. Too much heat or agitation, or water left to soak, will felt or fade wool and can bleed old dyes. Metro Steamway's owner is an IICRC-certified journeyman textile cleaner, so we identify the fiber, test for colorfastness, and match the method to the material. The same care goes for sofas and chairs, cleaned 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 Dilworth's older homes that fast drying also keeps moisture off original floors and trim.
