Carpet Cleaning in the Research Triangle
RTP Upholstery provides deep, restorative cleaning for wall-to-wall carpeting in homes and rental properties across Morrisville, Cary, Apex, Raleigh, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Fuquay-Varina, and the Hope Valley/Southpoint area of Durham. Owner and lead technician Andrew uses hot water extraction, flushing hot water and cleaning solution deep into the carpet pile and then extracting it along with the dirt, dust, and residue trapped inside. This reaches ground-in soil that regular vacuuming can't pull out and cuts down the gray, worn look that builds up in hallways, stairs, and other high-traffic paths. Carpet comes out looking refreshed and feeling cleaner underfoot, with allergens and everyday grime removed rather than pushed deeper into the fibers. RTP Upholstery is locally owned and fully insured, and every carpet cleaning job starts with a free custom quote based on the size of the space and how soiled the carpet is, since there's no flat rate that fits every home.

What's Included
- Walkthrough and free quote: Andrew looks at the carpet's fiber type, square footage, and soil level, then gives you a free custom quote before any cleaning starts.
- Pre-vacuum and pre-treat: loose dirt and debris get vacuumed up first, then high-traffic lanes, walkways, and visible spots get a pre-treatment solution to loosen ground-in soil.
- Hot water extraction: hot water and cleaning solution are flushed deep into the carpet pile, then immediately extracted back out along with the loosened dirt, dust, and residue. This is the deep-cleaning method most carpet manufacturers recommend for wall-to-wall carpet.
- Stain-focused treatment: stubborn or set-in spots get extra targeted attention so they don't get left behind.
- Grooming and drying: the carpet pile is groomed to help it dry evenly. Most carpet is dry within several hours to about a day, depending on carpet thickness, humidity, and airflow in the room. Ask about the Super Fast Drying add-on if you need it dry sooner.

How much does carpet cleaning cost?
Carpet cleaning doesn't have one fixed price because every home is different. RTP Upholstery gives a free custom quote based on the size of the space, the carpet's fiber type, and how soiled it is. Call or text (919) 804-1383 with your room count or square footage to get a quote.
What cleaning method do you use on carpet?
RTP Upholstery uses hot water extraction. Hot water and cleaning solution are pushed deep into the carpet pile, then extracted back out along with the dirt, dust, and residue that get loosened. It's the deep-cleaning method most carpet manufacturers recommend for wall-to-wall carpet.
How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning?
Drying time depends on the carpet's thickness, the humidity in the room, and how much airflow it gets. Most carpet is dry within several hours to about a day. If you need it dry faster, ask about the Super Fast Drying add-on, which uses high-velocity air movers to cut drying time down.
Can you fix the gray, worn look in my hallway or on the stairs?
That graying comes from dirt and grit ground into the carpet fibers over time from foot traffic. Hot water extraction is built to pull that embedded soil out instead of just cleaning the surface, and high-traffic lanes get extra pre-treatment before extraction to help lift it.
Do you clean carpet for move-outs and rental properties?
Yes. RTP Upholstery offers move-out cleaning for renters and property managers turning over a unit, which covers carpet and upholstery together. It's quoted separately from a standard carpet cleaning visit since move-out jobs often cover a full unit at once.
