Portsmouth carpet cleaning, in short. Perfection Carpet Cleaners is an owner-operated carpet cleaning company based in Seabrook, New Hampshire, about 15 miles down I-95 from Portsmouth, and part of our NH Seacoast service area. Owner Richard Mowbray has 35 years of cleaning experience and is on every job. In Portsmouth homes, condos and rentals we offer carpet cleaning, area rug cleaning on location, upholstery cleaning, pet odor treatment and tile and grout cleaning. Carpet is cleaned with hot-water extraction, using truck-mounted equipment or portable units for upper floors, and typically dries in 4 to 6 hours. One room is $375, and the quoted price is the price you pay. If you are unhappy with the cleaning, we come back.
What changes when we clean a Portsmouth home?
Access changes most. A ranch in a neighborhood off Route 1 lets the van park in the driveway and run hoses straight to the door. A condo in an older downtown building may have a narrow staircase, a shared hallway or no driveway at all, so we plan the setup before the visit.
For a downtown Portsmouth property, equipment access starts with a legal place for the van. The city’s loading-zone rules allow active loading and unloading for up to 30 minutes, not parking throughout a cleaning appointment. Parking and the route into the building need to work together.
We have truck-mounted and portable equipment, including portable access for upper floors. We review stairs, elevators and the space being cleaned before choosing the setup. In winter, sand and road salt tracked in from the street collect in entry and hallway carpet, so those areas are worth pointing out when you ask for a quote.

Can you clean rugs and carpets at a Portsmouth home?
Yes. Perfection Carpet Cleaners cleans wall-to-wall carpet and area rugs at your property. The rug service is on-location, with no drop-off service. Rugs are quoted by size, and the rug’s material and condition are checked before the work; couches and chairs can also be included in the job.
What else can Perfection Carpet Cleaners clean in your home?
Perfection Carpet Cleaners cleans carpets, upholstered furniture and tile, with pet odor treatment available for affected areas. Each service has its own scope so the quote matches the surfaces that need work.

★★★★★“I can’t recommend him highly enough! I had just purchased a beautiful, expensive new rug and thought it was a total loss after a stain appeared. He was incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and went above and beyond to help me figure out how to treat it and miraculously, the stain disappeared. You can tell he truly knows his stuff and genuinely cares about helping his customers. I’m so grateful for his expertise and would recommend him to anyone!”

Portsmouth carpet cleaning questions
Do you clean carpet in downtown Portsmouth condos?
Yes. Portable equipment reaches upper floors where the truck hoses cannot, and we plan parking and the route into the building before the visit. Tell us the floor, whether there is an elevator and where the van can park.
Do I have to bring my area rug somewhere?
No. Area rugs are cleaned on location at your Portsmouth home, and there is no drop-off shop. Rugs are quoted by size.
How long does the carpet take to dry?
Carpet typically dries in 4 to 6 hours after hot-water extraction. Airflow, humidity and the carpet itself change that, and we tell you what to expect for your rooms.
Do you move the furniture?
Yes, we move most furniture and put it back. Entertainment centers stay in place, and delicate or unusual pieces are discussed before the visit.

Why do customers call Perfection Carpet Cleaners again?
Stairs, a basement living room and a pet stain that a home shampooer could not lift. Here is what three recent customers said after the work.
★★★★★“My carpeted stairs and basement living room was done well. Smells great and clean as a whistle. Richard explained the process and did a great job. I will be calling Perfection Carpet cleaners again to do other carpeted rooms in my home. It was also very quick.”

★★★★★“Extremely happy with how my carpet turned out, looks brand new. My dog had an accident and I cleaned with my Kirby shampooer, but It was not a deep down clean and the stain would not go away. It was a fast process not a lot of carpet but I have stairs and every corner was cleaned. Highly recommend this Company.”
