We were given a quote while making the appointment. The price is reasonable. However when the technician arrived, the price he is asking for is 2.5x more than I was quoted. Thanksfully I was able to turn down the service.
I would not recommend this business.
We had such a great experience with Best Saratoga Carpet Cleaning. They came out and gave our carpets a deep clean, refreshed our upholstered chairs and couch, cleaned the air vents, and helped remove built-up pet dander from the home.
We could tell the difference the moment we walked back in. The whole house smelled fresh, the carpets looked noticeably cleaner, and there was not a bit of pet hair left behind. Everything felt thoroughly cleaned and well cared for.
Even the air felt lighter and cleaner afterward, which made the whole space more comfortable. We also noticed the air grates looked refreshed, which really showed the extra attention to detail. It was clear the crew took pride in doing a complete, careful job.
We had used this service before, so we already felt at ease letting the team work in our home while we were away. They were reliable, professional, and did an excellent job again. We will absolutely keep using this carpet cleaning service and would gladly recommend it to others.

I contacted Best Saratoga Carpet Cleaning after a recommendation, and I’m really glad I did. Jay got back to me with a carpet cleaning quote within an hour, and every message after that was quick, clear, and professional. He arrived right on time, was friendly and easy to work with, and did a great job cleaning the carpets. The whole service felt smooth and professional, and the carpets looked fresh, clean, and much better afterward. He even left a spot cleaner behind for any future carpet stains or small touch-ups. The pricing was also lower than other carpet cleaning quotes I had received for the same service, so they will be my first choice for future carpet cleaning needs in Saratoga.

i have used this carpet cleaning service twice for the carpeting on our steps in Saratoga, usually before the busy rental season, and each visit has been easy to schedule. the booking process was simple, the response time was very fast, and the team was very accommodating with timing. each time, the carpet cleaning made a big visible difference, and the stairs looked much fresher, cleaner, and well cared for afterward. on the first visit, todd was able to complete the carpet cleaning work without me needing to be there, which made the whole process very convenient. i also appreciated how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. the pricing was very fair, especially for the quality of the carpet care and the noticeable results. i was so pleased with how the stair carpeting turned out that i have already scheduled another full cleaning for the rest of the unit, and i am looking forward to seeing everything refreshed and brightened again. i highly recommend this service for carpeting, stairs, and general carpet care.

I hired Best Saratoga Carpet Cleaning to clean a large area rug, a sectional sofa, and an ottoman in my Saratoga home. Scheduling online was quick and simple, and Jay arrived right on time. He was friendly, professional, and explained the carpet and upholstery cleaning process before getting started, which made me feel comfortable with the service. Our sofa had a lot of pet fur worked deep into the cushions, along with a few noticeable spots from everyday use. He took extra time with the vacuuming, upholstery treatment, and deep cleaning to make sure everything was thoroughly cleaned. The rug also came out fresh and bright, and the whole living room felt much cleaner afterward. He was able to remove the stains, lift out embedded dirt and fur, and leave the couch looking almost like new again. It also smelled clean and fresh without being overpowering. I am very happy with the results, and I would absolutely use them again for carpet and upholstery cleaning and recommend the service to others.

I needed an area rug cleaned and called Best Saratoga Carpet Cleaning on a Friday afternoon, expecting voicemail, but Todd answered right away and was very friendly. He made it easy for me to drop off the rug that evening, fit the cleaning into a busy schedule, and had it ready for pickup soon after. The rug was cleaned on site, looked fresh, bright, and spotless, and the price was very reasonable. I was really impressed with the customer service, fast turnaround, and overall carpet cleaning quality. It is clear they work hard to accommodate customers while handling other jobs, and I would gladly recommend their rug and carpet cleaning service to anyone in Saratoga.

charlotte kennedyLocal Guide · 5 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews charlotte has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
jay is phenomenal! We reached out after our friend's dog chewed a piece of our hand woven rug, and he had us bring it in the very next day so he could inspect the damage. He explained the best carpet and rug repair option, shared helpful background about the rug, and gave us great advice on cleaning, stain care, and regular maintenance. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and he also has a beautiful selection of rugs and padding available. Our rug was returned fully repaired, carefully vacuumed, and looking refreshed in just a few days. Beyond the quality of his work, jay was very kind and kept us informed through each step of the process. the communication was clear, the turnaround was fast, and the overall service felt professional from start to finish. we really appreciated how thorough he was and how much care he put into restoring the rug. i would absolutely use him again for rug cleaning, carpet care, padding, or any future repairs. we highly recommend his service, and it is hard to find this level of skill and customer care.
i had them come out to do an estimate on the carpet at a place we were thinking about renting. the previous renters had a lot of cats, so the carpet had heavy stains, strong odor, and moisture that had gone through the carpet, padding, and into the subfloor. jay was very honest and explained that some areas might clean up, but other sections were too damaged for a lasting result. he said even with repeated carpet cleaning, the smell could return because it had soaked so deeply below the fibers. i really appreciated that kind of honesty. todd and evan were professional, clear, and did not try to oversell anything. that level of integrity says a lot, and this is the carpet cleaning service i would recommend to others.

If you need upholstery, carpet, or tile and grout cleaning, call Best Saratoga Carpet Cleaning. I had been meaning to get this deep cleaning done for a while and finally reached out after seeing them working nearby. They responded within a few hours, gave me a clear quote, and got the service scheduled quickly. Later that same day, they called to see if they could come sooner, which worked out great for me. They arrived right on time, were professional and courteous, and did an excellent job on the upholstery and tile and grout. Everything looked fresh, clean, and well cared for when they finished. The whole process was easy, fast, and very convenient, and I will definitely use them again for future carpet cleaning and related services.

We had an ongoing issue with our dog using the same spot on the living room carpet, and after trying several store products with no luck, we decided to call a professional carpet cleaner. evan was friendly, professional, and the pricing was very reasonable. He deep cleaned the carpet in two bedrooms and the living room, and the results were excellent. The pet urine stain and odor were fully treated, and the carpet looked fresh and renewed. We were so happy with the carpet cleaning that we also recommended the service to our grandmother in Saratoga. evan cleaned her upholstery and the carpet in her main living areas, and she was very pleased with how clean and refreshed everything looked. The whole process was easy, the work was thorough, and the home felt much cleaner afterward. i would gladly recommend this carpet cleaning service to family and friends because they do great work, use effective stain treatment, and really care about customer satisfaction. we are very pleased, the carpets look great, and it was a big help for our home.

Outstanding carpet cleaning service every time. I have had my carpets cleaned by this team for many years, and they always do an amazing job. jay, todd, and evan provide excellent customer service and take great care to meet my needs and expectations. My carpet looks fresh, bright, and almost brand new after each cleaning. They go above and beyond, work in a very professional and quick way, and are always friendly. You can tell they care about their work and want to make sure i am fully satisfied before they leave. They pay attention to spots, high traffic areas, and overall carpet freshness, and the whole process feels easy and reliable. This team always delivers great results, and i would highly recommend them for carpet cleaning.
