Carpet Cleaning in the Houston Heights
The Heights is one of our favorite parts of town to work in, mostly because of the houses. You've got the 1900s Victorians and Craftsman bungalows lining the streets of Woodland Heights, the tighter cottages of Sunset Heights, the bungalow rows of Norhill, and the newer builds going up around Shady Acres. A lot of these homes have been lovingly restored, and the people who own them care about doing things the right way. That fits how we work.
Older homes bring older flooring questions. Many Heights houses still have original hardwood under decades of finish, with carpet runners on the stairs and area rugs over the wood in the living rooms. We clean all of it, and we adjust for the materials we find. The wide-plank pine and oak that's common in these bungalows needs a careful, low-moisture touch so the boards don't cup or swell. We never flood a hardwood floor, and we keep water away from the seams where it could seep down between planks.
Our carpet method is soap-free and hypoallergenic, which matters more than usual in homes this age. Older houses hold onto dust in ways newer construction doesn't, and the Heights gets its share of mold and pollen riding in off the Gulf air. Because we skip detergent entirely, there's no sticky residue left in the fibers to attract grime, and nothing harsh hanging around for kids or pets. Most carpets are dry in about an hour, so you're not stepping around damp rooms in a house that already runs humid.
