Our Services

Looking for professional area rug cleaning in El Dorado Hills or Placerville? Carter’s Carpet Restoration specializes in delicate and thorough area rug cleaning for oriental, wool, silk, synthetic, and other specialty rugs.

With over 30 years of experience, we know how to protect your investment, preserve your rug’s colors, and extend its lifespan through safe and effective cleaning.

Why Have Your Area Rugs Professionally Cleaned?

Area rugs add warmth, beauty, and character to your home, but they also collect dirt, dust, and allergens that regular vacuuming can’t remove. Over time, this buildup can damage rug fibers, dull colors, and reduce your rug’s lifespan.

  • Professional rug cleaning:
  • Removes deep-set soil and allergens
  • Restores color and texture
  • Prevents fiber damage and premature wear
  • Protects your investment and keeps your home healthier

Most area rugs should be professionally cleaned at least once a year, in addition to regular vacuuming, to keep them looking their best.

In-Home and In-Shop Rug Cleaning Options

Carter’s offers two cleaning options depending on your rug’s material, size, and condition:

In-Home Cleaning

  • Best for synthetic rugs or durable materials that can handle standard hot water extraction.
  • Convenient and fast, with cleaning performed right in your home.

In-Shop Cleaning

  • Recommended for oriental, wool, silk, and other natural fiber rugs that require extra care.
  • Rugs are picked up or dropped off at our El Dorado Hills location, carefully cleaned over 10–14 days, and returned to you when ready.

We can also wrap and package rugs for long-term storage upon request.

What to Know Before Scheduling Rug Cleaning

To ensure we provide the right cleaning method for your rug, please have the following details when you call:

  1. Material: Is your rug wool, silk, or synthetic? Natural fibers require delicate cleaning to avoid color bleeding or shrinkage.
  2. Size: Area rug cleaning is priced by the square foot, so knowing the size will help us give you an accurate quote.
  3. Condition and Needs: Are there stains, pet odors, or specific concerns? Let us know so we can recommend the right treatment.

Protect Your Investment and Restore Your Rug’s Beauty

Your area rugs represent a significant investment and are an important part of your home’s design. Carter’s Carpet Restoration uses proven, gentle cleaning techniques to remove soil, revive colors, and keep your rugs looking vibrant.

Whether you prefer in-home cleaning or our careful in-shop process, we make it easy to restore your rug’s beauty and protect it for years to come.

The young man who cleaned our carpets was very friendly & did a great job. There were a few spots we weren’t sure would come out. But he got them out.
Shawn Rogan
Another great service experience from Carter's Carpet. We have used Carter's several times over the 17 years of owning our home - sometimes due to a dire pet-initiated emergency and others for upkeep on our carpet to get as many years out of it as we can. Our recent service was for some pet stains and odors and to brighten up the stairway. The scheduling was easy. The day of service went smoothly with a prompt and well-mannered technician and the end result was what we expected. We appreciate being able to support a family-owned local company that does a great job.

Sara Harris
Carter’s Carpet Cleaning did an amazing job for us! They cleaned our rugs, upholstery, and carpet, and managed to get out every stain. Best of all, there was no weird smell left behind—everything looked and felt fresh. The technician arrived right on time, was very thorough, and clearly cared about doing the job right. Their pricing is fair, and the quality of work far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be using them again for their other services. Highly recommend!
Laura Taylor
I had an excellent experience with Carter’s Carpet Restoration. They arrived on time and were professional and pleasant. They removed stains that I thought would not come clean. My carpet looks brand new. I will highly recommend them.

Win “Jube” Harris
Friendly, professional, and thorough. I was scheduled right away; they were on time and completed the job. My carpet was very clean. I've used them in the past and would recommend this company.
Katie Volpe
We had a minor job but needed attention to detail. We also were hoping for a quick repair. Carters was locally operated, replied very quickly, had great communication, and did the service quickly. The carpet patch looks great. Exceeded expectations and a value. Thank you.
Steve Hutchings
Great job on both our carpets and kitchen floor tile. I have not seen the grout so clean in years! Glad to have it sealed so it will stay that way. Our technician was great. Efficient, polite, got the job done, and paid attention to details. Will use this service again.
Jan Evgenikos
Excellent work! I cleaned my couch and recliner at least five times with the number one cleaner on the market. By the way, the smell of that cleaner was about as bad as the kitty urine odor. Anyway, I couldn't get the smell out. I finally used a steam cleaner, but still couldn't get the odor out. Carter's Carpet Cleaner was successful in removing the kitty urine odor leaving a very pleasant, refreshing smell. Also, the two employees were excellent, highly experienced, kind and respectful.

Excellent and courteous!

So if you happen to notice that your 9 x 12 white wool carpet doesn't like it should and you wondering why did I spent so much cheddar on it? Well let me tell that Carters Carpet brought that joy back after they finished cleaning and the results were perfect, like new !!
Protect your investment and let Carter's Carpet help you maintain that look. Second time I request their services, 1st time was to refresh my white linen couch, and yes awesome job, so let's just say I no longer worry that much about being careful around these two items for I know Carter's Carpet knowledge and equipment is current, as well as their technicians. Overall I'm well pleased with their service.

Give them a try, it's rare to find customer service like this!
Bryan King
They did a great job of cleaning my stone flooring and shower. The grout looks it did when first installed
William Thompson
When I called the company, I could tell it was one of the owners who answered the phone. Their business was very important to them as was getting my business. At first the prices seemed a little bit more, but the other company’s nickel and dime you. The technician was nicely groomed, kind, confident, professional and was so easy to work with. The other companies I called locally really could’ve cared less that I was on the phone. I definitely recommend this company

I have used Carter's for over 10 yrs. They are fantastic. This yr was harder because of a new puppy in my household. Austin did an amazing job restoring my cream colored Berber carpet. They are the best.
Cynthia Forsberg
The staff was very professional and thorough. Our carpets look great.
Sharon O'Neal
I use these guys every year in the spring and fall. They always deliver great service and happy customer service. I highly recommend them.
Robert Kilburg
First and foremost, got everything clean - all carpets and cloth dining room chairs. Second, total pros - conscientious, meticulous, and courteous. This is our fourth time using Carter's, and we will continue to do so.
Julie Parsons
Austin was professional, thorough and very friendly. He did an excellent job and I will definitely use Carter's Carpet again. Thank you!
Stan W
Carter's did a great job re-stretching our carpet. After several years we ended up with a pretty good ripple in our master bedroom carpet. Carter's technicians came out and were able to work around our heavy bedroom furniture without moving the bed. The carpet looks great, very happy.
Cleatta Simpson
I've used Carter's Carpet for a number of years. They never disappoint!
Dianne Curtis
Great service - timely and professional. We needed a tack strip replaced and the carpet stretched to be re-attached. Handled super well and easy to schedule with. Highly recommend!
