What Gets Into Indian Trail Carpet
Indian Trail is one of the fastest-growing towns in the Charlotte area, and nearly all of it was built since 2000 on former farmland. Subdivisions are still going up, so freshly graded red-clay lots and daily construction traffic leave fine grit on the roads and driveways that rides inside on shoes for years. The homes are full of young families, which means kids, pets, and a lot of traffic on carpet that is often the original builder carpet. Spring pollen and the region's red clay track in the way they do everywhere, and they show fast on light builder-grade pile.
Restoring Builder-Grade Carpet in Indian Trail
In a town of near-new homes, the carpet is usually the original builder nylon or polyester, and it is the most abused surface in the house. It does not wear out so much as it greys and mats in the traffic lanes from ground-in soil, so it can look old while it still has years left. Hot water extraction lifts that soil and stands the pile back up, which is a lot cheaper than replacing carpet that is only dirty. For pets, odor from an accident soaks into the backing and the pad, so we treat it at the source rather than covering it with a surface spray.
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 take the stairs by hand, where the soil concentrates most. Drying is quick, which matters in Charlotte's humidity, since a carpet left damp can take on a musty smell.
Indian Trail Carpet Cleaning FAQs
Our builder carpet looks dingy in the walkways. Is it worn out?
Usually not. On builder-grade synthetic carpet the greying in traffic lanes is ground-in soil, not wear. Hot water extraction lifts it and stands the pile back up, so it looks far closer to new before you think about replacing it.
Our dog has had a few accidents in the carpet. Can you get the smell out?
Usually, yes. Odor from a pet accident soaks into the backing and the pad, so a surface spray only masks it. We treat it at the source to break the odor down rather than cover it.
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. In Charlotte's humidity 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.
