Lake Wylie Carpet Cleaning | Since 1988

What Gets Into Lake Wylie Carpet

Lake Wylie is a waterfront community, and the lake ends up in the carpet. Homes here sit on docks and boat lifts, so sand, lake mud, wet feet, dripping swimsuits and towels, and the red-clay shoreline all come off the water and across the floor through the season. Water toys, coolers, and wet dogs move from house to lake and back all summer. The damp air off a lake with hundreds of miles of shoreline keeps carpet and upholstery from drying quickly, so anything that gets wet can turn musty. Underneath it all is the same Piedmont red clay that tracks in and stains light fiber.

Rug and Upholstery Cleaning in Lake Wylie

The waterfront and larger-lot homes here often hold wool and natural-fiber rugs over hardwood, and those are the easiest things 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. The same care goes for the upholstery that lake life works hard, matched to the fabric.

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.
