Matthews Carpet Cleaning | Since 1988

What Gets Into Matthews Carpet

Most of Matthews is family subdivisions built from the 1980s through the 2000s, on larger lots with mature yards, pools, and open lawns. That means a lot of ground between the car and the door, and kids and pets in and out all day, so grass, mulch, and Piedmont red clay come in on shoes and paws and grind into the carpet. Spring pollen off the older trees settles into the pile the same way. Downtown around Trade Street and Stumptown Park draws steady weekend crowds to the Saturday farmers market and to Matthews Alive, and that foot traffic tracks grit back into the homes nearby. Newer building on the Stallings and Mint Hill edges adds construction dust to the mix.

Carpet Traffic Lanes and Pet Odor in Matthews

In a busy family home the carpet does not wear out so much as it greys and mats in the walkways from ground-in soil, so a floor can look worn when it is really just dirty. Hot water extraction lifts that soil and stands the pile back up. For pets, odor from an accident soaks into the backing and the pad, so a surface spray only masks it, and we treat it at the source instead of covering it. Older homes near downtown are a different job, with original hardwood and area rugs that need a gentler, fiber-specific hand, and our owner is an IICRC-certified journeyman textile cleaner who identifies the fiber before cleaning it.

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, take the stairs by hand, and can flush the grout in the kitchen and baths on the same visit. Drying is quick, which matters in Charlotte's humidity, since a carpet left damp can take on a musty smell.
