What Unique Customers Are Saying
Sara Breyfogle
I wish I had “before” pictures to share! Unique does an AMAZING job. This is the second time we’ve used them and we are just as happy as the first time! Our 16 year old carpet with teenagers and cats were looking pretty rough. They literally look like new!! Worth the money by far. The guys who cleaned the carpets were friendly and professional. They are so much better than any other place, and I’m happy to support a local business.
Carol Broten

Jaspreet Singh Dhanjal
This was my first experience using Unique Carpet and Rug Cleaning. I must say they were definitely unique. They arrived early. Checked out the entire area to be cleaned. Asked necessary questions. Set up quickly. Were very careful of personal property. Worked very quickly and thoroughly. Were very professional. From the uniqueness of their truck to the equipment and method that was used to clean my carpet, I was definitely impressed and extremely satisfied with the outcome. The crew did an amazing job and went above and beyond to make my home and carpet look amazing. If you want quality job - this is the company to go with - Definitely recommend!!!
Jeffrey Foreman
Jose and Hugo were right on time and finished when expected. They did an excellent job and were very professional. They even got shoe polish out of a light coloured carpet in my closet. They also helped fix a seam where the stair and riser met on one of my stairs. I Highly recommend, Unique.
Kristy Pokorny
Big job well done. Yesterday we had every carpet and rug cleaned in our home. The workmen arrived on time, were cheerful, polite, helpful, efficient and did a beautiful job. My one issue would be that the price seemed rather high. Then again, I guess you get what you pay for. Thank you Unique Carpeting!
