The communication prior to arrival was very good as well as on the day of arrival. He got out some stains I thought were set and did a good job of lightening others on some older carpets. The 'newer' carpet looks almost brand new. The extra cleaning of high traffic areas was well worth it.

Doug Nelson carpet cleaning is a real life success story. He started a few years ago with just himself. Now he has a full staff and several vans. He's been cleaning my carpets from day one. He still does a lot of the work himself. I highly recommend him. You won't be disapointed!! Give him a call!

The best we’ve ever used for carpet cleaning - period! And I’m comparing this company to those we’ve used in Chicago and Naples, FL. He really cares about doing a good job - hard to find people that serious about their profession. Kudos and thank you!

The owner, Doug Nelson, was very helpful with giving and suggesting cleaning options. He cleaned large Persian style carpets in the home and well as wall-to-wall. He covered the outside door with zippered heavy plastic, so he could go in and out and minimize insects and pollen entering the house. He was efficient and the cost was very reasonable.

The scheduling and follow-up communication regarding the appointment was exceptional. The technician (Doug) was very informative, explaining all aspects of the condition of my rug and what he was going to do to not only clean it, but to make it look as good as possible, The finished product was excellent.

We have used Nelson Carpet Cleaners for several years now, and Mr. Nelson’s work is always excellent. He is punctual, professional, and extremely thorough—our carpets and rugs are spotless every time. I especially appreciate that he sends a yearly reminder, which makes it so easy to stay on schedule. Highly recommend!

We had them come to clean two area rugs and our kitchen floor. They did a fantastic job! The kitchen floor was unsealed tile. It looks brand new and they sealed it which should help keep it cleaner longer. The rugs look great as well, all the stains are gone. We are dry happy with the services provided!
