Carpet cleaning for homes with kids and pets.

We weigh the waste tank after jobs now and then, because customers ask. This is a typical 15 by 18 foot room that was vacuumed weekly and last cleaned two years ago.

How a visit goes
Two hours for most homes. You do not need to move furniture or be home the whole time, just for the walk-through at the start and end.
- 1
Walk-through
We look at each room with you, mark the spots that worry you and confirm the price before starting.
- 2
Vacuum and pre-spray
A commercial vacuum pulls the dry soil, then a pre-spray loosens the oily film. Pet spots get the enzyme now.
- 3
Hot water rinse
The truck mount heats water to 210°F and pulls it right back out. Hoses stay outside, the van stays in the driveway.

Groom and dry
We rake the pile, set furniture on foam blocks and leave two air movers if you want them. Socks only for a few hours.
What York neighbors say
4.9 average from 212 Google reviews, most of them from repeat customers.
"Our lab had an accident spot by the back door for a year. Two other companies made it look good for a week. Rita treated it twice and it has not come back."
"Three bedrooms, hall and stairs for $205, exactly what the website said. Dale put foam blocks under every dresser leg without being asked."
"I booked them before selling my mother's house. The beige carpet came out a shade lighter than I thought possible, and it was dry before the showing that evening."
Two people, one van, the same names on every invoice
Dale cleaned carpets for a big franchise for eight years and got tired of rushing three houses before lunch. In 2009 he and Rita bought a used truck mount and started Codorus Carpet Care out of their garage on Roosevelt Avenue.
We still do every job ourselves. We book four homes a day at most, we carry shoe covers and corner guards, and we call if we are going to be more than ten minutes late. Our dog Pepper is the reason we got good at pet spots.

Questions we get every week
How long until I can walk on the carpet?
Right away in socks or shoe covers. Most carpets are fully dry in 4 to 6 hours, sooner with the air movers and the AC or heat on. Thick plush in winter can take 8.
Will the pet spots come back?
Surface spots usually wick back when only the top is cleaned. For urine we flush the backing with an enzyme treatment, so most spots stay gone. If one returns within 30 days, we treat it again for free.
Do I need to move the furniture?
No. We move chairs, end tables and small items. Beds, dressers, pianos and full bookcases stay put and we clean around them. Please pick up toys and things on the floor.
Is the cleaning solution safe for kids and pets?
We use a mild pre-spray and rinse with plain hot water, so nothing sticky stays behind. Keep kids and pets off the wet carpet until it is dry, mostly so they do not track dirt back in.
Do you clean apartments and townhouses?
Yes, as long as the van can park within 150 feet of your door. For upper floors without parking nearby we bring a portable unit at the same price.
How do I pay?
Card, check or cash when the job is done. No deposit to book.
