"Spiker pulled stains out of our living room carpet that two other companies couldn't touch. They were on time, friendly, and the carpet looks brand new. Will never use anyone else."
Herald homes share a few common stories: traffic-lane wear by the front door, daily-use sofas, pets that have made themselves comfortable, and tile that's been waiting on a real deep clean.
Area rugs aren't wall-to-wall carpet. Different fibers, different dyes, different cleaning chemistry. Spiker identifies the rug, picks the right process, and protects the dyes that wall-to-wall machines would bleed. Spiker arrives from our Galt base typically within 12 minutes — the same crew, the same area rugs standard, every time.
Fiber test on a hidden corner. Wool, silk, cotton, viscose, synthetic — each gets a different process.
Dye-stability check, then targeted pre-treatment matched to the fiber and the soil load.
In-home cleaning where the rug is appropriate; off-site immersion or pit washing for delicate hand-knotted pieces if needed (quoted up front).
Controlled drying to prevent dye migration or backing damage. Walk-through on return.

Most yes — we identify the fiber and dye stability first. Hand-knotted and antique pieces sometimes need off-site immersion cleaning instead of in-home; if so, we tell you up front and quote it separately. Never blind-machine a high-value rug.
When the rug warrants it. Heavy pet contamination, embedded sand, or odor jobs often need a back-side pass. Quoted on inspection.
Not if it's cleaned with the right chemistry for its fiber. The dye-stability test catches risky rugs before we touch them — if it bleeds in the test, we change the process or recommend a specialist.
Often yes, but it depends on how long it's been there and whether it reached the backing. Send photos and we'll be honest about what's possible.
