Our Services

Is your shower tile and grout looking dull, stained, or discolored? Soap scum, hard water deposits, and mold can make even the nicest showers look dirty and aged. Carter’s Carpet Restoration offers professional shower surface cleaning in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, and surrounding areas to bring your tile, stone, and grout back to life.

With over 30 years of experience, Carter’s uses high-powered steam cleaning and specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove grime, stains, and buildup from all types of shower surfaces — including ceramic tile, porcelain, and natural stone like marble or travertine.

Why Professional Shower Cleaning Matters

Showers face constant exposure to moisture, soap, and minerals, which often leads to:

  • Soap scum and hard water deposits that are difficult to scrub away
  • Mold and mildew growth in grout lines and corners
  • Permanent grout discoloration or staining
  • Damage to natural stone when cleaned with the wrong products

Our professional shower cleaning process removes these issues while protecting your tile, grout, and stone for the future.

Our Shower Surface Cleaning Process

When you schedule shower cleaning with Carter’s, here’s what you can expect:

  1. Inspection and Pre-Treatment
    We inspect your shower and apply a cleaning solution to break down soap scum, mold, and mineral buildup.
  2. Agitation for Deep Cleaning
    Specialized brushes and equipment are used to work the solution into grout, corners, and textured surfaces.
  3. High-Pressure Steam Cleaning
    Our truck-mounted system delivers steam and vacuum extraction, pulling away dirt, mold, and residues. All dirty water is collected in our truck and disposed of properly — we never recycle it.
  4. Fast Drying and Optional Sealing
    We use industrial air movers to speed up drying. For lasting protection, we can also apply grout and stone sealants to help prevent staining and buildup.

Protect and Restore Your Shower

In addition to cleaning, Carter’s can seal grout and natural stone to keep your shower looking clean longer. Sealing:

  • Repels water and soap residue
  • Reduces mold and mildew growth
  • Makes regular cleaning easier
  • Extends the life of your tile and grout

1. How do professionals clean showers?

Professional shower cleaning combines specialized cleaning solutions, steam equipment, and expert techniques. Carter’s Carpet Restoration deep cleans tile, grout, and glass to remove soap scum, hard water stains, mold, and mildew without damaging surfaces.

2. What does professional shower cleaning include?

Our service includes a full inspection, pre-treatment of buildup, agitation of grout and corners, high-pressure steam cleaning, and optional sealing. This process restores your shower’s shine and helps prevent future staining.

3. How much does it cost to deep clean a shower?

The cost of professional shower cleaning varies based on the size of the shower, material type, and the level of buildup. Carter’s provides free in-home estimates so you know the price before any work begins.

4. Is professional shower cleaning worth it?

Yes. Professional cleaning removes layers of soap residue, hard water buildup, and mildew that regular scrubbing cannot reach. It also protects tile and grout from long-term damage and discoloration.

5. How often should a shower be professionally cleaned?

Most showers benefit from professional cleaning once or twice a year. Homes with hard water, high humidity, or frequent use may need service more often to keep surfaces free of buildup.

6. Can professionals remove hard water stains from tile and glass?

Yes. Carter’s uses safe but powerful solutions and steam cleaning to dissolve mineral deposits and restore clarity to tile, grout, and glass. For added protection, we can apply a sealant that helps prevent future buildup.

7. How do professionals clean shower grout?

Our technicians pre-treat the grout with an appropriate cleaner, then use steam extraction and agitation to lift dirt, mold, and stains from deep within the pores. After cleaning, grout can be sealed for lasting protection.

8. What surfaces can Carter’s clean in a shower?

We clean all common shower materials, including ceramic, porcelain, marble, travertine, and other natural stones, as well as grout and glass doors. Each surface is treated with the correct solution for its specific needs.

9. Can you seal tile and grout after cleaning?

Yes. After cleaning, we can apply a protective sealer that repels water, soap scum, and mold. Sealing helps keep showers cleaner longer and reduces future maintenance.

10. How long before I can use my shower after professional cleaning?

You can usually use your shower the same day. If a sealer is applied, Carter’s will provide specific drying times to ensure full curing before use.

Carter’s has always been a reliable business over our many years of having them clean our carpets.

The technician, Jose, was polite and on time. He took time to first check over everything for special cleaning needs and was efficient finishing in time for us to leave for another appointment as requested.

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.

Carpets look great. Jose was very professional and did a great job. Will use Carters again.
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.

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.
charles hummer
Excellent and courteous!
Antonio Monterrubio
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
rosemary ralston
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!

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!
