The Job
Carpet in a lived-in home picks up soil in the places people actually walk — stair treads, bedroom doorways, and the path in and out of a bathroom. Surface vacuuming takes up loose dirt. It does not treat stains or lift what is already in the fiber.

The crew ran the same four steps in each area: vacuuming, treating stains and agitating the carpet, shampooing, and bonneting. Matthew described the stair set that way, then the same 4-steps on bedroom 1, bedroom 2, and the bathroom carpet.
That is the whole method on this job. We are not adding steps that were not written down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the carpet 4-step?
On this job the sequence was vacuuming, treating stains and agitating the carpet, shampooing, and bonneting. That wording is from the crew, not a marketing rewrite.
Are these before-and-after photos?
No. These are process shots from the work. We did not pair frames as before and after because the emails did not label them that way.
Do you clean carpet in bathrooms and on stairs?
Yes. This job covered stairs, two bedrooms, and bathroom carpet in the same house.
Where do you do residential carpet work?
We serve homes throughout Lake County and the Chicago suburbs. This client's exact town was not given, so we list it as Chicagoland.
