Eastover Carpet Cleaning | Since 1988

What Gets Into Eastover Carpet

Eastover was Charlotte's first automobile suburb, laid out in 1927 with curving avenues, private driveways, and deep wooded lots. Daily life runs from the car to the driveway to the door across those grounds, so clay, leaf litter, and damp get tracked inside more than they would at a house on the sidewalk. The canopy over Cherokee and Colville roads is mostly white oak, tulip poplar, and pecan, which drop leaves and pods heavily from October into January, on top of the spring pollen the rest of the city gets. Charlotte's red clay comes in wet for much of the year, and these ninety-year-old estates are almost always under some kind of restoration, which leaves grit on the streets and inside.

Area Rug Cleaning in Eastover

The estates here pair original hardwood with handmade wool and silk rugs and antique upholstery, and those are the pieces most easily ruined by the wrong cleaning. Older dyes can bleed if they are flooded with hot water, wool mats and dulls if it is over-agitated, and silk needs a gentler touch than either. Metro Steamway's owner is an IICRC-certified journeyman textile cleaner, so each rug is identified, tested for colorfastness, and cleaned at a temperature and moisture level it can take. It comes back clean and still itself, not brighter in a way that means the color moved.

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 move what needs moving, 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.
