I'll be honest, South Congaree is one of the nicer drives on our schedule. Somewhere past the airport the traffic falls away, the lots get bigger and shadier, and half the houses seem to have a pond out back.
The town has Blue Ridge Terrace and a handful of other quiet neighborhoods, with a lot of older brick ranches on wooded lots. Those houses came with a certain floor plan: wood or vinyl in the main rooms, carpet in the bedrooms, and a couple of good area rugs somebody's grandmother picked out. The yards add pine needles, sand, pond mud, and whatever the dog rolled in down by the water.
Pine needles are sneakier than the mud. They snap into short pieces, work down into loop carpet, and hide until a bare foot finds them. Every so often, run the vacuum crosswise across the bedroom and you'll pull up bits the usual lengthwise passes leave behind.
The living room rug takes most of that traffic, and we clean it right in your home. No pickup, no rolled-up rug riding around in a van. The tech checks the fiber and dyes before starting. There's more on that on our area rug cleaning page.
My advice: if a rug sits in front of the door to the pond, have it cleaned twice a year. Once a year gives the mud time to work down into the base, and every month it sits there it gets harder to lift.
The wood in older ranch houses usually has a haze from years of mopping. Mop water leaves a film, and the film holds dirt. A hardwood floor cleaning lifts it with a pH-neutral cleaner and barely any water. We don't sand or refinish, so where the finish has worn to raw wood, you'll need a refinisher.
Bedroom carpet gets the usual visit. We look at the spots, give you a price, pre-treat, and clean, and it's generally dry within the hour. For the dog's accidents, our enzyme treatment gets down to the pad, where the smell starts. Old accidents in a ranch house with a slab floor can take a second application, and we'll tell you if we think yours will.
Somebody picks up at 803-310-3848 at any hour, and the work is guaranteed.
