Carpet Cleaning in Old Orchard Beach

Old Orchard Beach is a coastal resort town built around its famous pier and beach, with a dense mix of seasonal rental cottages, year-round homes, condominiums, and small motels. A large portion of the housing stock consists of small wood-frame cottages dating to the early and mid-20th century, many of which are rented out seasonally and need turnover cleaning between guests. The year-round population is smaller than the summer influx, and many properties have been converted from seasonal to year-round use over the past few decades. It's a market driven by rental turnover, sand, and the wear that comes with heavy seasonal use.

Portland winters are hard on carpets. From November through March, people track in road salt, sand, and wet snow from every doorway. Older homes in the East End and Munjoy Hill tend to have carpets over original hardwood, and once that carpet holds enough moisture and grit, it starts to break down the fibers from the inside out.

We use hot water extraction — most people call it steam cleaning — which pulls dirt and residue out of the fibers instead of just pushing it around. A lot of budget services use a bonnet or dry-compound method that looks clean for a week and then wicks the dirt right back up, which is a waste of your money.
