Carpet cleaning in Somerville, NJ

In Somerville we clean carpet and stairs, sofas and armchairs, area rugs, mattresses, and tile and grout. 12,346 residents across 2.34 square miles, which in practice means a mix of housing rather than one kind — so the useful question when you call is what is actually on your floor, not what the town is like. Victorian architecture in several neighborhoods and along Main Street. Main Street keeps most of its historic buildings, many converted to retail. Nothing is taken away to be cleaned. The work happens in the property, by appointment, at any hour of the day.

Somerville is a borough in Somerset County, New Jersey, incorporated in 1863, with 12,346 residents at the 2020 census. Victorian architecture in several neighborhoods and along Main Street. Main Street keeps most of its historic buildings, many converted to retail. Borders the Raritan River to the south. Crossed by Peters Brook. Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage are here. County seat of Somerset County and host of the Tour of Somerville, first run in 1940 and described as the oldest competitive bicycle race in the US. Borough planners want transit-village redevelopment around the Somerville station on NJ Transit's Raritan Valley Line. It borders Bridgewater Township, Hillsborough Township, Raritan.

The housing in Somerville

Victorian architecture in several neighborhoods and along Main Street. Main Street keeps most of its historic buildings, many converted to retail. Older stock brings staircases built before any machine made for them existed, so those treads are worked by hand either way.

Water, and what it does to a floor here

Borders the Raritan River to the south. Crossed by Peters Brook. Below-grade carpet is the surface most at risk in a wet year, because the pad holds water long after the face has dried.

The work

Photographed on the job. Nothing on this site is stock.

A flight of stairs, finished. Three faces per step, none of which a machine head sits flat on — stairs are the slowest surface in any job and they are done by hand.

The visit

How a visit works in Somerville

  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 fiber decides the method. This is the step that prevents the two things people actually fear: shrinkage and color 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.

Where in Somerville

Somerville has no named districts that anyone searches for separately, which is ordinary for a municipality of its size. Rather than invent a list to fill the space, this page says plainly that the whole borough is covered — and it is.

Questions

Asked in Somerville

Do you cover Somerville?

Yes. A borough of 12,346 is a normal stop rather than a special trip, and we take bookings at any hour of the day for it.

How long before we can walk on the carpet?

About two hours before carpet is walkable, and dry the same day. A fabric sofa takes four to eight hours; leather is quicker. Say when the room has to be back in use and we sequence the job around that rather than hoping.

Does the age of the houses in Somerville change anything?

It changes the method. Victorian architecture in several neighborhoods and along Main Street — 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. Borders the Raritan River to the south — 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.

    There was a big difference in the living room rugs. Extraction brought out layers of dirt. Nearly invisible stains remain. Completely happy.

    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.
