Maintaining a clean home is about more than just appearance—it’s about protecting your health, prolonging the life of your furnishings, and creating a space that feels fresh and inviting. At Gary’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, we specialize in deep-cleaning services that deliver real results for homes and businesses in Tacoma, Washington.
Our team understands the unique needs of the Pacific Northwest climate. From damp weather to tracked-in dirt and allergens, carpets and furniture in Tacoma homes face constant exposure to wear and contaminants. That’s why we provide professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services that go beyond surface-level cleaning—restoring freshness, removing odors, and improving indoor air quality.
Why Professional Cleaning Matters More Than You Think
Carpets and upholstered furniture act like sponges. They trap dust, bacteria, pet dander, allergens, food particles, and stains. Over time, this buildup affects not only the look and feel of your home but also the air you breathe.
Health Benefits of Professional Cleaning:
Reduces allergens like pollen, mold spores, and dust mites
Eliminates bacteria and odor-causing particles
Helps alleviate symptoms of asthma and allergies
Improves overall indoor air quality
When left untreated, carpets and fabrics can harbor contaminants that affect your family’s well-being. A regular professional cleaning schedule can keep your space safer and more comfortable year-round.
Signs You Need Carpet or Upholstery Cleaning in Tacoma
Not sure if it’s time for a professional clean? Here are a few telltale signs:
Persistent Odors – Lingering smells, even after vacuuming, may signal deep-seated debris or mildew.
Visible Stains or Discoloration – Spills and foot traffic can leave lasting marks that DIY methods can’t fully remove.
Allergy Symptoms Indoors – Sneezing, coughing, or irritated eyes can point to trapped allergens in your carpet.
Matted or Worn Fibers – High-traffic areas often show wear and flattening, dulling the appearance of your floors.
More Than a Year Since Last Cleaning – Experts recommend annual cleanings at a minimum for most households.

2. Pre-Treatment
We apply eco-friendly, non-toxic pre-spray solutions to loosen embedded dirt, oils, and stains in both carpets and upholstery.

Using powerful hot water extraction, we lift out debris, kill bacteria, and flush out contaminants, leaving carpets clean and residue-free.

We ensure an even finish, apply deodorizer if requested, and walk through the results with you to ensure satisfaction.
Dry times vary, but most carpets are ready to walk on in 6–12 hours.
