Deep hot-water extraction for year-round homes, lake houses, and rentals — the fix for sand-ground traffic lanes and that flat, dingy look in Holderness.
Squam is exclusive by tradition, and Holderness cleaning reflects it: old-money camps and estates, antique and oriental rugs, natural-fiber upholstery, and owners who value discretion and care over speed. Many of these homes are seasonal and handed down through families, so the furnishings are older and finer than average — exactly the pieces that need colorfast testing and a controlled, low-moisture method rather than an aggressive soak.
Family camps on Squam often hold heirloom rugs and vintage upholstery. Those are the pieces to clean carefully and on a schedule — not the ones to hand to whoever’s fastest and cheapest. We test, we go gentle, and we treat an old family camp’s furnishings like they can’t be replaced, because they can’t.
A proper cleaning is not a rental-machine skim over the surface. Every job starts with a thorough pre-vacuum to pull out the dry grit that actually grinds carpet down, then a pre-spray and hand-agitation of traffic lanes and spots so the soil is broken loose before we ever touch it with water. We finish with truck-mounted hot-water extraction — the method carpet makers recommend — which flushes the loosened soil and detergent back out of the pile at high heat, followed by grooming and high-airflow drying so the carpet is damp, not soaked.
You get a straight flat price before we start, and carpet that's back in service in hours, not days.
Most whole-home cleanings run $150–$350 depending on room count, stairs, and how heavily soiled the traffic lanes are. Single rooms start around $45. We quote the flat price before we arrive — no upsell at the door.
With truck-mounted extraction and high-airflow grooming, most carpet is dry in 4–6 hours. Good airflow and a fan or two speeds it up; humid lake-house summers slow it down a little.
Manufacturers and most warranties call for professional cleaning every 12–18 months. Homes with pets, kids, or heavy lake-season foot traffic do better every 6–12 months.
We move light furniture — sofas, chairs, tables — and clean under it, then set it back on protective tabs. We leave beds, dressers, and anything on electronics in place and clean around them.
Flexible scheduling, flat prices quoted up front, and a crew that knows the Lakes Region.
