Services
Oriental Rug Cleaning
Our Eight Step Cleaning System includes dry soil removal with Tumble Duster, pH-balanced washing in custom washtubs, and controlled drying. We handle delicate fibers like silk and wool using non-toxic solutions. Commercial-grade equipment removes 90% moisture in 3 minutes, preventing mold growth while preserving dyes and fibers.
Carpet Cleaning
12-step process featuring preconditioning, truck-mounted extraction, and pH balancing. Our technicians use rotary brushes and high-velocity air movers to remove deep soil without over-wetting. Post-inspection ensures complete spot removal while protecting fibers with optional Fiber ProTector application.
Upholstery Cleaning
IICRC-certified cleaning for all fabric types, including delicate materials. Our 12-step system uses specialized solutions for stain removal, pH balancing, and UV protection. Gentle extraction preserves fabric integrity while eliminating bacteria and allergens through mechanical bacteriostatic action.
Natural Stone Restoration
Comprehensive restoration including diamond grinding, honing, and sealing. We address etch marks and scratches using water-cooled abrasives. Professional-grade sealers protect against stains while maintaining stone breathability. Services cover marble, travertine, granite, and limestone surfaces.
Commercial Floor Maintenance
Customized programs for businesses using truck-mounted HWE systems and portable extraction units. Services include tile restoration, carpet maintenance, and hardwood cleaning with dust-free processes. Tailored solutions maximize flooring lifespan while maintaining safety and aesthetics for commercial spaces.

Easy to make an appointment for the first time. They did an excellent job cleaning the carpet in 3 rooms. It took about 4 hours for the carpet to dry out which is better than expected. Will certainly recommend them and use them again. Service: General carpet cleaning

I got a large 11 year-old sectional cleaned and it looks like new! They removed stains I thought for sure would be permanent (blood, milk, tea, wine- this couch had seen it all). It was not the cheapest quote I got for cleaning, but they did such a good job it was totally worth the $350. Service: Upholstery cleaning

The young man who cleaned my elderly sofa did an excellent job. Unfortunately, a few days later, the feathers in the overstuffed cushions had clumped, making the cushions lumpy. When I contacted Clean As A Whistle they responded right away and solved the problem. I highly recommend them! Service: Upholstery cleaning

After 4 years of renters and guessing the only time a vacuum was used on that carpet was me getting ready for new renters - it was tired and I thought new carpet was the only option. Then I thought maybe a professional cleaning might help or convince me to buy new carpet and I'm so glad I did. Clean as a Whistle were there as quick as I needed them, they measured up before the job and told me exactly what it would cost, which was very reasonable so I set them to work. 2 hours later they left me with a vibrant, clean and stain free carpet that looks like new - I was delighted and so happy I called them. Thank you Clean as a Whistle - excellent job!

We used Clean As a Whistle to clean our grout, which was very dirty, and clean carpet, area rugs, and a large sectional. Eric came out a few weeks ago and worked extremely hard for about 5 hours. He had to really persevere to get our white grout clean, and he did a great job. He also got some pet stains out of our carpet which have not come back as they often do after the person leaves. Would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them.
