I was ready to rip the carpet out and put down hardwood. Maple cleaned it and it genuinely looks like the day the builder installed it. My husband thought we’d been scammed on price — it was that good.

Typical dry time
Back in the room by evening
A real steam clean is more than a wand and hot water. Each room goes through the same four steps, in the same order, so the grit underneath comes out along with the stains on top.
Built for apartments and high-rises too. Our portable extractors reach the same 212°F and 250 PSI as truck-mounted rigs and ride up in the elevator, so condos, walk-ups and office suites get the identical clean with no hose run through the lobby.


We confirm the fiber type, test colorfastness and walk each room with you to note stains and traffic lanes. You approve a fixed price before any equipment comes in.
Much of the soil in carpet is dry grit, and water alone turns it to mud. A commercial HEPA vacuum pass lifts it out first, along the edges as well as the open floor.
A child- and pet-safe pre-spray loosens oils and traffic-lane grey, and a counter-rotating brush works it down to the base of the fibers.
212°F water at 250 PSI rinses the carpet while high-flow vacuum recovery pulls the water and loosened soil straight back out. The pile is groomed upright so it dries evenly, and protector goes on the main walkways.

Why hot-water extraction
Shampoos, foams and dry powders clean the surface. Hot-water extraction rinses the whole fiber and removes what it loosens, which is why most carpet manufacturers recommend it.
Agitation and a 212°F rinse loosen packed-down soil at the base of the pile, and high-flow vacuum carries it out of your home instead of spreading it around.
Recovering 99.7% of the water means most rooms are dry in 4–6 hours. Running the HVAC fan or opening a window shortens that further.
A pH-neutral final rinse leaves nothing in the fiber to attract new dirt, so carpet stays cleaner for longer after we leave.
Our cleaning solutions are non-toxic, with fragrance-free options on request. Kids and pets can go back on the carpet once it is dry.
Most major carpet manufacturers recommend hot-water extraction and ask for periodic professional cleaning. Keep your Maple invoice with your warranty papers as proof of cleaning.

Whole-home carpet
Two dogs, one very old carpet. They mapped the odor with a blacklight in front of me, showed me exactly what they were treating, and the smell is gone. Not covered up. Gone.
Marcus T.
Pet odor remediation
Quoted me on the phone in four minutes, showed up at 8:10 on a Saturday, and the price on the invoice was the price on the phone. In this area that is basically unheard of.

Carpet + stairs
We manage 40 units and Maple does every move-out. Photo documentation, no drama with tenants, and not one lost deposit in three years. They’re the reason our turn time dropped by two days.

Property management program
My grandmother’s Tabriz rug came back looking like the one in the photo on her wall from 1974. They hand-cleaned the fringe instead of bleaching it like the last company did.
Sarah L.
Oriental rug restoration
We’re on the ninth floor and three companies told us they couldn’t reach us. Maple carried their units up, worked overnight, and the waiting-room carpet looked like a showroom at 6am.
Dr. Osei B.
Commercial sanitizing
Carpet was dry enough to walk on in about four hours. The last company soaked it and it smelled like a wet dog for two days.
Tom & Alina W.
Living room + hallway
Honest is the word. They told me one bedroom was beyond saving and that I should not pay them to clean it. Charged me for three rooms instead of four.

Most rooms are dry in 4 to 6 hours, often sooner. We recover 99.7% of the water we put down, so the carpet is only slightly damp when we leave. You can walk on it straight away in clean socks, and running the HVAC fan or opening a window speeds drying up.
Yes. “Steam cleaning” is the everyday name for hot-water extraction: heated water and a cleaning solution are rinsed through the carpet under pressure and immediately vacuumed back out, taking the loosened soil with them. It is the method most carpet manufacturers recommend.
Not when it is done correctly. Shrinking and damage come from over-wetting or the wrong method for the fiber. We identify the fiber first, control how much water goes down and recover nearly all of it.
Yes. Our cleaning solutions are non-toxic and the final rinse is pH-neutral, so nothing sticky is left behind. If anyone at home is sensitive to scents, ask for our fragrance-free option when you book.
Most carpet warranties call for hot-water extraction by a professional at regular intervals, often every 12 to 24 months. Check your warranty for the exact interval, and keep your Maple invoice as proof of cleaning.
Every 12 to 18 months for most homes, and every 6 to 12 months with pets, young children or heavy traffic. Cleaning on a regular schedule removes grit before it wears the fibers down.
Most everyday stains come out: food, drinks, mud and most pet accidents. Some bleach marks, dyes and old urine damage are permanent color loss rather than dirt. We tell you which is which before you pay.
No. We move sofas, chairs and tables and put pads under the legs so nothing marks the damp carpet. Heavy or fragile items such as dressers, pianos and cabinets stay put and we clean around them.
Yes. The estimate you approve is the most you pay, and stain treatment, deodorizing, pre-spray on traffic lanes, closets and stair vacuuming are already included. If the job is smaller than described, the price comes down.
