Stairs take more foot traffic than almost any other carpet in the house. Every trip up and down grinds grit into the front edge of each tread, and the carpet there often darkens and flattens long before the bedrooms do. Many townhouses and split level homes in Milton have carpeted stairs, and they are one of the most requested add-ons when people book a carpet clean.
A normal carpet wand is too wide for most stairs, so the crew we book uses a smaller hand tool attached to the extraction machine. Each tread and riser is vacuumed, pre-treated where marked, then cleaned one step at a time. The nosing, which is the rounded front edge, gets extra attention because that is where wear and dirt build up most. Landings and the upstairs hallway are cleaned with the main wand. Stair carpet is often a different age or type to the rest of the house, so the crew checks it separately before starting and adjusts the heat and water to suit.

Stairs usually dry within a few hours, but they are a main walkway, so plan the visit for a time when the household can use another route or stay off them for a while. Tell us the number of steps and whether the stairs are open or boxed in when you call, and we will give you a price range. Townhouses across Milton often pair stairs with the upstairs bedrooms.
