Carpet cleaning in Union County, NJ

We clean carpet, upholstery, rugs, mattresses and tile throughout Union County: Elizabeth, Union, Westfield, Summit, Cranford, Scotch Plains, Linden, Plainfield, New Providence, Berkeley Heights and Roselle. The county runs from dense two- and three-family housing in Elizabeth and Linden through to large older colonials in Westfield and Summit, and the same job looks quite different at each end of it. We come to the property — there is no shop to bring anything to — and we book by appointment at any hour, including evenings, which is what most working households actually need.

Union County is compact and unusually varied. The eastern end, around Elizabeth and Linden, is dense: two- and three-family houses, pre-war walk-ups, and apartments where a staircase is shared between households and takes the traffic to match. Move west through Cranford and Westfield and the stock changes to detached colonials from the 1920s and 1930s, with wide oak staircases, wall-to-wall carpet upstairs and area rugs over hardwood below. Summit and Berkeley Heights sit higher and older still. The practical difference between those ends of the county is not the size of the room; it is what the floor has been through. A shared stair in a three-family works harder in a month than a bedroom carpet in Westfield does in a year, and neither is cleaned the same way.

Shared stairs in multi-family houses

A staircase used by three households sees three times the traffic and collects everything that comes in off the street from three front doors. It is the highest-value surface to clean in the building and the one that makes the whole place feel different afterwards. It is also entirely a hand job — no machine head fits a stair.

Storm-season basement work

Towns along the Rahway River have a long history of water in basements after heavy rain. Getting extraction and drying started in the first day or two is what decides whether carpet and padding are saved or removed. We answer the phone at any hour, which for this kind of call is the entire point.

The visit

How a visit works in Union County

  1. 01

    You tell us what is on the floor

    Call, or send a photograph of the worst patch. It is the fastest way to a straight answer about what will lift and what will not — and if something is not coming out, we would rather say so now than at the door.

  2. 02

    We test before we clean

    Fabric and rug dyes get tested somewhere nobody looks, and the fibre decides the method. This is the step that prevents the two things people actually fear: shrinkage and colour bleeding.

  3. 03

    Extraction, then the parts a machine cannot reach

    Heated solution goes into the pile and comes straight back out with the soil. Stairs, edges and corners are worked by hand afterwards, because no machine head sits flat on a stair tread.

Questions

Asked in Union County

Which towns in Union County do you cover?

All of them — Elizabeth, Union, Westfield, Summit, Cranford, Scotch Plains, Linden, Plainfield, New Providence, Berkeley Heights, Roselle, Rahway, Clark, Springfield and the smaller boroughs in between.

Do you clean the shared stairs in a two-family house?

Yes, and it is one of the most worthwhile things to clean in a multi-family building. Shared stairs take the traffic of every household in the house. They are cleaned by hand on every tread, riser and stringer.

My basement flooded after a storm. What should I do first?

Stop the water if you safely can, cut the power to the affected area if any outlet is involved, lift what you can off the wet floor, and call. The first day or two decides whether the carpet and padding can be saved.

Can you come in the evening?

Yes. We book by appointment around the clock, and evening visits are common in this county because most households are out during the day. Say what time suits when you call.

    I had a move out carpet cleaning done. The team is very professional from my first contact to the actual cleaning by Jacob. He was very thorough, efficient and kind. Would definitely recommend.

    We used Carpet Cleaning Wizards to remove dog urine from a large area carpet. Jacob was timely in arrival, professional and friendly. He was efficient in taking care of the job and very pleasant while doing it. Would recommend this business.
