Carpet Cleaning in Evanston, IL

Evanston is about 7 miles from our shop at 3652 N Milwaukee Ave. Carpet Cleaning Group is a family-owned business, and we have cleaned homes across the Chicago area since 2014. We serve ZIPs 60201, 60202, and 60203, from the Central Street shops to the lakefront and the blocks along Main Street.

Evanston Homes and What They Need

Evanston has a lot of older housing. It also has a big rental market because of Northwestern University. Here is what we run into most.

• Vintage frame houses. Many older homes have carpeted stairs and upper floors. Padding in these homes can be decades old.
• Student rentals. Apartments near campus turn over every year. Landlords need carpet ready for the next lease, and renters want their deposit back.
• Lakefront homes. Humid summers near the lake can leave carpet smelling musty. A deep clean and a full dry help.
• Fine rugs. Wool and oriental rugs over hardwood are common in older homes. They need a gentler method.

What We Clean

We clean with hot water extraction, the method most carpet makers recommend. It rinses soil out and pulls the water back up. Most carpet is dry in 4 to 6 hours.

• Steam carpet cleaning for rooms, halls, and stairs
• Area rug cleaning with free pickup and delivery
• Pet odor removal for accidents that reached the pad
• Upholstery cleaning for sofas, sectionals, and chairs
• Tile and grout cleaning for kitchens and baths

Our products are Green Seal certified and non-toxic. They are safe for kids and pets once the carpet is dry.

Keeping Carpet Fresh Near the Lake

Lake air brings humidity in summer. Carpet in older homes, and especially in basements, can pick up a musty smell. After a cleaning, run the AC or a dehumidifier and keep air moving. That helps the carpet dry fully.

Vacuum often in spring and summer, since damp dirt clings to fibers. If a smell sticks around after a deep clean, the source may be under the pad, and we will tell you.

For Landlords and Property Managers

Student lease turnover often bunches up in summer. Book early, and ask about cleaning several units in one visit. We are fully insured, and a certificate of insurance is available on request.
