Carpet Cleaning
Our proprietary Double Clean process combines counter-rotating brush agitation with High Flow Extraction to remove deep-seated dirt and residues. Technicians apply specialized cleaning agents tailored to each stain type before performing a clear water rinse that exceeds standard steam cleaning effectiveness. This two-step method extends carpet lifespan while maintaining indoor air quality through complete residue removal.
Upholstery Cleaning
We use gentle yet effective cleaning solutions and equipment calibrated for delicate fabrics. The process includes pre-treatment of stains, low-moisture extraction to prevent damage, and optional protective coating application. Our technicians understand different fabric types and adjust pressure and solutions accordingly to maintain material integrity while eliminating soils and odors.
Tile and Grout Cleaning
High-pressure cleaning systems remove built-up grime from tile surfaces and porous grout lines. We employ specialized tools to agitate and extract contaminants that regular mopping misses. The process restores original tile appearance and includes sealing options to protect grout from future staining while maintaining slip-resistant surfaces for safety.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning
Scheduled maintenance programs minimize business disruption while maintaining professional environments. Services include after-hours cleaning, VCT stripping/waxing, cubicle fabric cleaning, and large-area carpet extraction. We coordinate with facility managers to implement customized plans that maintain clean standards without interrupting daily operations or requiring furniture relocation.
Odor Elimination
Advanced deodorizing treatments target odor sources rather than masking smells. Our products neutralize pet-related compounds, food residues, and smoke damage at the molecular level. The process works synergistically with deep cleaning to remove both visible contaminants and airborne irritants, leaving spaces fresh without artificial fragrances or chemical residues.

I have used Downey Cleaners for over 20 years now to clean my carpets, upholstery, and area rugs. You can count on them for routine annual cleaning but more importantly in that crazy emergency when the dog gets sick or the red wine is spilled on the new couch! Debbie, who answers the phone, will do all she can to assure service is as quick as possible. Customer service is top notch. I can not say enough good about this company !

We’ve used John M Downey for years and they alway do a good a great job. The tech we use to use retired so they sent one of their texts, Ty Lundby. Arrived when he said he would, friendly, professional and did an outstanding job! 3 rooms and our old sofa and the sofa looks new! Highly recommend him and will definitely request him next time. Thanks Ty!
