Carpet Cleaning in Santa Barbara
Family-Owned Carpet Cleaning Since 1978
Homes, offices and shops in Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria get truck-mounted carpet cleaning from Kelly, the steam method also known as hot water extraction. It reaches the dirt, allergens and stains sitting below what a vacuum picks up. Pre-spotting comes with every job at no charge, stains never add a surcharge, and the cleaning agents are eco-friendly. The company has been family-owned since 1978.

The rest of the room
Carpet is one surface in the room. The rug on top, the furniture and the hard floor next to it collect the same dirt.
A rug sitting on top of the carpet needs its own trip. For rug cleaning it travels to The Ultimate Rug Spa in Ventura, by drop-off or pickup, and staff look it over for stains and wear before a wash on the Turkish machine and a full dry. Upholstery cleaning brings our truck-mounted hot water extraction to the sofa, pre-spotting free.
Wall-to-wall carpet usually stops at a kitchen, a bath or an entry with a hard floor. Grout lines in those rooms take tile and grout cleaning, which forces high-pressure steam down into the joints and can be followed by color sealing. Wood goes through hardwood floor cleaning, a separate process that lifts old polish and grime with the finish left intact, and minor restoration is sometimes possible.

The Truck-Mounted Clean

Why the Cleaning Unit Stays in the Truck Outside Your Home
The machine that cleans your carpet never comes through the door. It is built into the vehicle, with its own engine, water tank and heater, and only the hoses and wand come inside. With its own power source it cleans deeper and faster than traditional methods, pulling out soil and allergens from below where a vacuum reaches.
We start by laying down a pre-treatment that breaks the soil loose. Then hot water and cleaning solution are pushed into the pile and pulled back out at once by a strong vacuum, carrying the dissolved dirt to the truck. Fans go up after the clean, since drying time depends on the carpet, the airflow and the day’s weather.

Stains and Odors

No Stain Surcharge, and the Odors That Settle Into the Pad
Every Santa Barbara carpet job includes free pre-spotting, and we do not add a charge for stains, however many there are. The spots you can see are the easy part. Odor is harder, because it soaks past the fibers into the backing and the pad and keeps coming back after the surface looks clean.
For stubborn odors our team uses specially formulated solutions. Pet urine, mold and mildew, cigarette smoke and food spills are among the ten odors we deal with most, along with vomit, grease, chemical spills and sewage backup. The heat of the steam sanitizes as it cleans.

- No Stain Chargewhatever the count

Offices and Hospitality
Carpet for Offices, Shops and Hospitality Businesses
Hospitality is a major part of Santa Barbara’s economy, and much of the city’s retail sits downtown along lower State Street around Paseo Nuevo. Carpet in lobbies, offices and shops takes far more traffic than carpet at home, and the walkways show it first, so commercial carpet does better on a schedule rather than an emergency call.
Businesses choose daily, weekly, monthly or bi-monthly service, work with an account manager, and are covered by our Quality Assurance Program. Once a job is scheduled, our field team reaches you within 24 hours. For a fast quote, tell us how many rooms need cleaning and if any furniture is in them, and the quote comes back by email.
