Carpet Cleaning · Raleigh–Durham

Vacuuming gets the top. We get what's underneath.

Dirt, pet dander and allergens sink deep into carpet fibers where a vacuum can't reach. Our deep carpet cleaning pulls it out, lifts stains and traffic lanes, and leaves your floors fresh again — for homes and businesses across the Triangle.

  • Pre-treatment on stains, spots & traffic lanes
  • Hot water extraction that pulls dirt out, not around
  • Veteran-owned team working from a written checklist

When I initially called, I explained that I was listing my house for sale in just a few days… no one else could get me booked in time before showings started. They listened, understood the sense of urgency, and they made it happen, and the work was fantastic!

We had to get a professional carpet clean per our lease agreement when we moved out. I picked them because they were the cheapest, but wow, I was impressed. No way I could have made the carpets look that good with a rug doctor.

Brian arrived on time and did a thorough job of cleaning my carpets and tile floors. I highly recommend DJM Cleaning to anyone seeking this type of service who needs someone who is courteous and professional to do the job.

We were very pleased with the services DJM provided - both house and carpet cleaning - for our move out clean. The house looked great and the team was pleasant and professional. We'd definitely use them again!

Who we help

Fresh carpet for every kind of space.

Kids, pets, foot traffic or a move — carpet takes the hit. We bring it back.

Busy families

Spills, muddy shoes and juice-box mysteries. Get your living room and bedrooms back to clean without renting a machine.

Pet owners

Accidents soak through to the padding. We treat the spots and the smell, so the room stops reminding you every time you walk in.

Moving in or out

Start fresh in a new place or help protect your deposit. Pair it with our Move In/Out clean for a fully ready home.

Offices & businesses

First impressions start at the floor. We schedule around your hours so lobbies, offices and break rooms look sharp.

What's included

Priced by room and soil level. Pre-treatment and odor treatment are charged per room, not per stain.
Not a rental machine

Clean carpet shouldn't get dirty again in a week.

The problem

Leftover soap attracts new dirt.

Store-bought machines leave carpet soaking wet and full of soapy residue. That residue grabs dirt from every footstep, so spots come back and traffic lanes turn gray again fast.

  • ✓ Stains that "wick" back up
  • ✓ Long, musty dry times
  • ✓ Dirt pushed around, not out
Our approach

Treat, extract, rinse — and recover.

We pre-vacuum and pre-treat, then our commercial-grade hot water extractors inject cleaning solution deep into the fibers and pull it right back out with the dirt, so your carpet stays cleaner longer.

  • ✓ Commercial-grade heated extractors
  • ✓ Solution and soil extracted together
  • ✓ Left damp, not soaking wet

FAQ

Carpet cleaning, explained

How do I get a quote?

Fill out the quote form with the number of rooms (or square footage for businesses) and any stains or pets. We'll send your price within one business day.

How long until I can walk on it?

Most carpets are dry enough for light foot traffic in about 6 hours. Full drying takes 12–24 hours depending on carpet type, humidity and airflow. Open windows, run ceiling fans and the HVAC to speed it up, and wait until it's fully dry (or use furniture pads) before putting furniture back.

Will every stain come out?

Most everyday stains respond well: dried mud, food and drink spills, traffic soil and recent pet accidents. Some may not fully release, like bleach spots, red dye (punch, wine, juice), ink, rust, old set-in stains and urine that has soaked into the pad. Your technician tells you what to expect before treatment, but we can't guarantee complete removal.

Do I need to move furniture?

Please clear small furniture, toys and loose items from the rooms before we arrive. We don't move large or heavy pieces like sofas, beds, dressers or pianos. We clean all the carpet we can reach around them.

Is it safe for kids and pets?

We use professional-grade cleaning solutions. If anyone in your home has allergies or sensitivities, let us know before your appointment. Please keep pets in a separate area during the service, and keep kids and pets off the carpet until it's dry.

How is the price set?

By the number of rooms and how dirty they are. On arrival, your technician inspects each room and assigns a soil level: light, medium or heavy. Light soil is the standard room rate. Medium and heavy soil (traffic lanes, widespread stains, pet odor) add a per-room charge, and you approve any change before work begins.

What do I need to have ready?

A working electrical outlet near the rooms and a water source (utility sink, bathroom faucet or outdoor spigot). Our portable extractors run on your home's power and water. Let us know about wool, silk or other specialty carpet when you book.

How do I pay?

A valid debit or credit card must be on file when you book, and payment is due at the time of service. For our team's safety, we don't accept cash or checks. You're never charged for a price change you didn't approve.

When will my technician arrive?

Within a 1-hour window of your scheduled time. If we're running late, we'll let you know right away.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Give us at least 48 hours' notice. Later cancellations are charged 50% of your quoted price. If we can't get into the rooms, or to an outlet and water source, when we arrive, a no-show fee may apply.

Is there anything you can't clean?

We can't clean carpet that's already wet or water-damaged from a flood or leak until the moisture problem is fixed. We also can't clean carpet with active mold, biohazard contamination or subfloor damage, which need remediation first. If we find unsafe conditions on arrival, including pest infestations, we may need to cancel or reschedule, and a fee may apply.

Will my carpet look brand new?

Most carpets look dramatically better, but results depend on the carpet's age, fiber type, past treatments and how dirty it is. Older or heavily soiled carpet may improve a lot without looking like new. Deodorizing helps, but we can't guarantee full odor removal when pet urine has soaked into the pad or subfloor. Stain and odor treatment charges reflect the work done, not a guaranteed result.

What else should I know before booking?

Natural fibers like wool can shrink or bleed dye during hot water extraction, so tell us about wool, silk or handwoven rugs when you book. Putting furniture back on damp carpet can cause stains from the legs. We aren't responsible for pre-existing damage (loose seams, faulty installation, discoloration) or for problems caused by earlier DIY or store-bought treatments. Our liability is limited to the amount paid for the service.

Do you clean business carpets?

Yes. We clean offices, retail spaces and other commercial carpet, and can schedule around your business hours. Call (919) 794-5381 to talk through larger spaces or recurring service.

Which areas do you serve?

Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill and the greater Triangle area.
