I paid $300 to have the carpets steam cleaned in a rental house in Bellingham with the most reputable steam cleaner company in town. The carpets did look better, but there were still serious dark patches in heavy traffic areas. I had discussed these areas with the gentleman prior to cleaning and he "cleaned" the bad areas 3 different times.

I called Envirocare and they were able to come out the next morning. Jim was very friendly and a great listener. After he finished the carpets looked like NEW! Jim even got stains out that were there from 3 years prior that didn't come out after 2 steam cleaning episodes with 2 separate companies!!

I will never waste money on "steam cleaning" again!!
