Services

Carpet Cleaning

Our carpet cleaning combines fast-dry low-moisture technology and hot water extraction for deep cleaning. Commercial-grade equipment removes allergens, dirt, and stains while preserving carpet fibers. Technicians assess each carpet's material to determine optimal cleaning methods that minimize drying time and maximize longevity for residential and business clients.

Hardwood Floor Cleaning

Professional hardwood floor restoration includes deep cleaning, scratch removal, and protective coating application. Our pH-neutral solutions safely clean delicate wood surfaces while preserving finishes. We address water damage, pet stains, and daily wear using specialized tools that maintain the natural beauty of oak, maple, and exotic wood flooring.

Upholstery Cleaning

Advanced upholstery cleaning targets embedded dirt and allergens in sofas, chairs, and automotive interiors. Our technicians use fabric-specific solutions that won't damage delicate materials while eliminating pet odors and stubborn stains. The process restores fabric appearance and extends furniture lifespan through gentle yet effective deep-cleaning techniques.

Tile and Grout Cleaning

High-pressure steam cleaning removes grime from ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles. Our process includes grout line restoration and sealing to prevent future staining. Commercial-grade equipment reaches deep into porous surfaces to eliminate bacteria and discoloration while protecting tile integrity in kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces.

Odor Removal

Scientific odor elimination targets sources of pet smells, smoke damage, and biological contaminants. Our technicians use thermal fogging and ozone treatments to neutralize odor molecules at their source rather than masking them. The process improves indoor air quality while protecting surfaces from residual damage caused by persistent odors.

Stevie was very professional, flexible, and our carpet looks amazing. We appreciated his willingness to explain his services and to meet our timeline as we are expecting soon. We were very impressed with our steps due to our puppy having had accidents on his way down. We will definitely be soliciting his services again and will not hesitate to refer his services to our neighbors and loved ones.

Stevie and team were great to work with, provided in detail of the service that would be provided and affordable. We identified a few stains in the carpet that we had another company try to remove with no luck. Indoor Environmental came in, were professional, on time and very thorough in the cleaning. They were also able to remove the pink/red stain in our daughters room and the blue stain that we had in the basement. Highly recommend not just for the service but the professionalism of the company!

IES cleaned our carpets this past weekend and did a phenomenal job! IES was able to remove pet stains, pet hair and nail polish from our carpets, something a previous carpet cleaning company was unable to do. Their prices are great and well worth the service we received. I highly recommend them!

Excellent service! Communicated well before hand to help understand expectations with cleaning older sofa & loveseat. Arrived on time, and were very professional and thorough in cleaning process as well as not disturbing other furniture in the house. Definitely will be our first choice when we have furniture or rug cleaning in the future!
