Signs Your Rugs & Carpets Need Professional Cleaning
Regular vacuuming helps, but it can’t reach the deep-down dirt and allergens trapped in your carpets.
Look for these signs that it’s time for a professional deep clean:
- Persistent odors, especially after vacuuming
- Visible stains that don’t come out with spot cleaning
- Dullness or loss of color
- Increased allergy symptoms
- Noticeable dirt embedded in fibers
- Pet hair trapped in the rug
- Fringe or edges that are dirty or fraying
- Discoloration or fading from sun exposure
Our 6-Step Rug & Carpet Cleaning Process for Evanston, IL
CONSULTATION AND ASSESSMENT
We begin with a personalized consultation to address specific issues such as stains or odors. Then, our technicians conduct a detailed inspection of your carpets and rugs to determine the most effective cleaning method for their material and condition.
PRE-TREATMENT AND PREPARATION
Before deep cleaning, we pre-treat heavily soiled or stained areas and thoroughly vacuum your carpets and rugs to remove dirt and debris. This step ensures the fibers are primed for a deeper, more effective clean.
DEEP CLEANING
Our advanced truck-mounted steam cleaning systems and industry-approved products provide a deep clean for carpets and rugs. We tailor our methods to each fiber type, effectively removing dirt, allergens, and contaminants while preserving delicate materials.
RINSE AND EXTRACTION
After cleaning, we thoroughly rinse away all products to prevent residue and extract excess moisture. This ensures your carpets and rugs dry quickly, minimizing the risk of mold growth or fiber damage.
FIBER GROOMING
After the cleaning and drying process, our technicians hand-groom your carpets and rugs, restoring their softness, texture, and uniform appearance.
FINAL INSPECTION AND DELIVERY
We perform a final inspection to ensure your carpets and rugs meet our stringent quality standards. For area rugs, we provide complimentary delivery and placement, ensuring your complete satisfaction with the results.

Lisa Fremont2024-04-03 Professional from start to finish. Jorge Daniel castro2024-03-21 This is the second time I've used ServiceMaster. I needed the walls and ceiling in my kitchen to be removed due to a water leak from the unit above me. They were super cautious of my furniture and covered everything with plastic. I hired them to do my reconstruction as well and am extremely happy with my new cabinets! Barney Cruz2024-03-21 I had 4 inches of standing water in my basement. ServiceMaster was able to pump all the water out of the basement and cleaned and sanitized my floors and walls. I’m extremely impressed by how quick they worked and how clean they left my basement! madeline kim2024-03-12 I used ServiceMaster for a recent water damage issue.

The crew is professional and thorough cleaners. I highly Service Master. Andres Ortiz2023-12-17 While we were out of town our vanity mirror fell and turned on our sink faucet. Water was running for days, we're not sure when it happened, the fire department was alerted when the house sensors got wet and set off the alarms. our neighbor came over when she saw the fire department. We were called immediately. Our agent highly recommended neil at service master. He came out with a huge team and a general manager. I felt very comfortable with him and all office staff to get the job done while we were still out of town. My neighbor checked in on them until we returned. 80% of my entire house was gutted. I have a lot of custom wall paneling, crown molding and trim. They were able to save it all. They also did my packout and duct work cleaning. Everyone at service master was extremely knowledgeable and professionaland very helpful. Maurice Williams2023-12-09 I had a burst pipe in the middle of the night and one of my guest rooms was damaged. Service Master was able to get a crew to me first thing in the morning. Everyone was super helpful and treated my home as if it was their own while doing the necessary work. Aden Zrod2023-12-09 A week after I purchased this property it flooded with 12 inches of water. The previous owner left the basement full of stuff that was ruined by the flood. It was all getting thrown away but now the process was even harder. My State Farm insurance agent had a Servicemaster rep give me a call because I wanted to opt out of flood insurance. It was only a courtesy call to explain the process of mitigating and repairing a flooded basement. I reluctantly signed up for flood insurance just in case....Oh man I am glad I did; this flood situation was a nightmare, and the additional expenses would have been devastating if I didn't have insurance. I immediately called them after all my failed attempts of trying to get the water out. That 15 minute-call saved me thousands of dollars. Servicemaster by zaba rocks! the team was great and they saved me a huge headache. I highly recommend them and I am so grateful for my State Farm agent.

FAQs
What is the average cost of cleaning an area rug in Evanston, IL?
Cleaning costs depend on rug size as well as necessary repairs or restoration work. Give us a call and we’d be happy to provide an estimate.
How should I get ready for rug pickup?

Why do I need professional carpet cleaning?
Professionally cleaned carpets last longer, smell better and help maintain healthy indoor air quality. Most carpet warranties require regular cleaning by industry-certified professionals.
How often should I have my carpets cleaned?
Carpet manufacturers recommend professional cleaning once or twice a year. Busy homes with large families and pets need carpet cleaning more often.
How much does professional carpet cleaning cost?
It depends on square footage as well as extra services such as eliminating stubborn pet odors or adding extra protective treatments. In most cases, you can expect to pay an average of $25 to $70 per room.
Can I clean my carpets with rental equipment?
We don’t recommend DIY carpet cleaning. Rental equipment can’t remove stains. It doesn’t rinse efficiently, and that leaves behind detergent residue that can cause mold growth in carpets.
