Easy to work with. I've been with these for 10 years, maybe more. Their work and equipment has been good. I like that several employees in the office and handling the cleaning have been with Absolute for 8 plus years. The Absolute Alexandria office is my go to clean team.

David and Petey did a great job cleaning our white sectional. Not sure what we were thinking when we bought a white sectional with 2 boys and 2 dogs! Absolute Carpet Care has it looking like new every time!

Really fantastic service. We’re renters and our home was used as an Airbnb before we moved in so the carpet was AWFUL. It looked terrible and we were congested all the time even with air purifiers. We got a free consultation where they came to our house, made recommendations, and gave a quote. They came less than a week later for the service and it’s SO much nicer to be home now. I’m not coughing anymore and the carpets look fantastic!

This was our second time using Absolute Carpet Care, and once again, they exceeded our expectations! Our first experience was great, and this one was just as impressive. From start to finish, everything was smooth and professional. Erin, the scheduling coordinator, was so kind and easy to work with. I really appreciated the text updates and phone call reminders, including one the morning of our appointment letting us know the team was on their way. Will, the same serviceman who cleaned our carpets the first time, actually remembered our home which really says a lot about the level of care this company provides. Will and Ryan were both incredibly respectful to me and my home. The preparation alone took nearly an hour, showing just how detailed and thorough they are. They worked seamlessly together, and Will really listened to the specific areas I wanted him to focus on. Not only did he address those spots, but he also re-evaluated other areas, taking extra steps and using different products to ensure everything looked perfect. I am beyond satisfied with Absolute Carpet Care and will definitely be using them again next year. Many thanks to Erin, Will, and Ryan for their professionalism, kindness, and outstanding service!
Frequently Asked Questions About Absolute Carpet Care
How soon can I walk on my carpets after cleaning?
The average dry time is between 12 to 24 hours, depending on the type of carpet, time of year, humidity level, and how much soil was in your carpet. The more soil in your carpet, the more water and cleaning solution we’ll have to use. We do provide waterproof booties upon request. It doesn’t hurt to walk on the carpet immediately after cleaning, but it is important to understand that a slightly damp carpet will attract soil.
How much will it cost to clean my carpets?
Like most carpet cleaning companies, we charge by square footage. If you’d like us to give you an exact price over the phone, we’ll need to know the exact area of the space we’ll be cleaning. We’re happy to have our inspector come by to give you a no-obligation estimate and address any concerns you may have. Absolute Carpet Care provides this service free of charge
How often should I get my carpets professionally cleaned?
Manufacturers recommend that carpets should be professionally cleaned every six to 18 months. In fact, some manufacturers require professional steam cleaning, like Absolute Carpet Care’s hot water extraction method, on a regular basis to maintain your warranty.
Should I reapply Maxim Advanced when I have my carpets cleaned?
Yes, reapplication is recommended in high-traffic areas. Regular household mishaps, like dirt and spills, can contribute to the gradual wearing off of your carpet’s protectant. Cleaning alone will not remove Maxim Advanced. Reapplication will keep your carpets resistant to stains and easy to clean!
How should I prepare for my carpets to be cleaned?
You only need to remove small breakables from the area. Our cleaning technicians can move most furniture and put it back in its original location afterward. Additional charges may apply. Don't trust just any of the carpet cleaning companies in VA, give Absolute Carpet Care a call today!
Should I be concerned about chemical or detergent residue remaining in my carpet?
Not with Absolute Carpet Care! Some cleaners use a soapy detergent that leaves residue behind. We use safe, biodegradable detergent pre-spray, followed by a textile rinse that leaves the carpet virtually residue free. Less residue means less soiling later on!
I had someone out already and they said it couldn’t be cleaned. What should I do?
We have great news for you! Absolute Carpet Care isn’t your average carpet cleaner. With our exclusive hot water extraction method and a wide array of stain removers, we can tackle nearly any carpet problem.

What method of cleaning do you use to clean the carpet?
Like most carpet cleaning companies, we use hot water extraction to clean carpets. According to Bob Vila, homeowners should get their carpet cleaned at least once a year to help it last longer, so be sure to reach out to us today!
