Carpet cleaning in Franklin, NJ
Everything we clean elsewhere in Somerset County we clean in Franklin — carpet, upholstery, rugs, mattresses, tile and grout. At 68,364 residents across 46.17 square miles it is one of the larger municipalities we cover, and the housing inside it varies enough that the visit is planned around the specific building rather than around the town. Van Wickle House, built 1722 by Dutch settlers, and the c. 1752 Franklin Inn farmhouse. Kingston Mill Historic District: 49 acres, 16 contributing buildings, NRHP 1986. It is a service-area business, so the van comes to you and the phone is answered at any hour.
Franklin is a township in Somerset County, New Jersey, incorporated in 1798, with 68,364 residents at the 2020 census. Van Wickle House, built 1722 by Dutch settlers, and the c. 1752 Franklin Inn farmhouse. Kingston Mill Historic District: 49 acres, 16 contributing buildings, NRHP 1986. The Raritan River runs along the eastern side of the township. The Millstone River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal follow the western border. Rockingham State Historic Site and Colonial Park Arboretum and Gardens are here. Locally it is read by its sections — Blackwells Mills, Clyde, East Franklin, East Millstone, East Rocky Hill, Franklin Center — and a job is quoted on the one you are in rather than on the town line. The most populous municipality in Somerset County; the Somerset section alone held about 22,000 residents. The Delaware and Raritan Canal reshaped the township in the 1830s, and the 1922 Hall-Mills murder happened in the Somerset section. It borders Bridgewater Township, Hillsborough Township, Manville, Millstone, Montgomery Township.
The housing in Franklin
Van Wickle House, built 1722 by Dutch settlers, and the c. 1752 Franklin Inn farmhouse. Kingston Mill Historic District: 49 acres, 16 contributing buildings, NRHP 1986. What that changes is the fibre and the access — which is why the first question on the phone is about the property rather than about the price.
Water, and what it does to a floor here
The Raritan River runs along the eastern side of the township. The Millstone River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal follow the western border. We read moisture in the pad and the subfloor with a meter rather than trusting how the surface feels, and say which case you are in before starting.

The visit
How a visit works in Franklin
- 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.
- 02
We test before we clean
Fabric and rug dyes get tested somewhere nobody looks, and the fiber decides the method. This is the step that prevents the two things people actually fear: shrinkage and color bleeding.
- 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.

Where in Franklin
Franklin is read locally by its sections — Blackwells Mills, Clyde, East Franklin, East Millstone, East Rocky Hill, Franklin Center — and we work all of them. No district-level search demand is published for a municipality this size, so this page names its places in prose rather than dressing estimates up as measurements.
Questions
Asked in Franklin
Do you cover Franklin?
Yes. Franklin is inside the normal Somerset County round, along with Bridgewater Township, Hillsborough Township, Manville. There is no shop and nothing to drop off — the van carries the machine to the property, and bookings are taken at any hour.
How long before we can walk on the carpet?
Carpet is normally walkable in a couple of hours and dry by the evening. If you need a particular room sooner — a nursery, a rented flat on handover day — tell us at booking and air movers come along.
Does the age of the houses in Franklin change anything?
It changes the method. Van Wickle House, built 1722 by Dutch settlers, and the c. 1752 Franklin Inn farmhouse — and a stock of that kind decides whether a floor wants controlled moisture and a dye test or a straightforward hot-water extraction. We identify the fibre before anything gets wet, every time.
Our basement took water. Is the carpet worth saving?
Sometimes, and what decides it is how long it sat and what was in the water rather than how bad it looks. The Raritan River runs along the eastern side of the township — so this is a question we get here. We read the pad and subfloor with a meter and say which case you are in before starting.

Jacob was the best. We had a pet accident that he took care of. He was quickly able to clean an area rug and honestly saved the day. Great work, will call again.
