Family-owned & operated since 1985 — proudly serving Greater Akron & Cleveland
Residential Services

Akron's #1 for carpet cleaning.

Family & pet safe cleaning solutions, truck-mounted power, and a process refined over four decades — for homes, offices, and everything in between.

At Excel Carpet and Tile Cleaning, we strive to give every one of our clients the best carpet cleaning experience possible. From the initial phone call to rendering service, your 100% satisfaction is our top priority.

We offer carpet cleaning for both residential and commercial clients. Whether we're cleaning your home, office, empty home, or business, we're educated and trained on a variety of cleaning methods and have multiple decades of experience.

Vacuuming removes the dry soils that wear your carpet prematurely — but the oily soils from pets, cooking vapor, and outside dirt are still left behind. Carpet manufacturers recommend a professional cleaning every 12–18 months to keep up appearance, fiber retention, and your warranty. Annual cleaning keeps your carpet fresh, bright, and protected.

Our carpet cleaning process

Refined over the years to deliver the best results possible — with family & pet safe solutions at every step.

  1. 1

    Walk-Thru & Transparent Quote

    We walk the areas you want cleaned, evaluate your needs, and answer every question. You'll know the final price before we start — no surprises.

  2. 2

    Preparation & Furniture Care

    We slide furniture out, clean underneath, and place protective tabs or blocks under the legs so nothing is damaged while the carpet dries.

  3. 3

    Pre-Treatment & Spot Work

    A safe, natural cleaning solution breaks up accumulated oily soils, and stubborn spots get targeted treatment. We have a high success rate on even tough stains.

  4. 4

    Truck-Mounted Hot Water Extraction

    Our truck-mounted machine rinses and extracts the soil, leaving your carpet soft, fresh, and truly clean.

  5. 5

    Speed Drying

    Multiple dry passes plus carpet drying fans get you back to normal life with as little interruption as possible.

  6. 6

    Optional Scotchgard™ Protection

    An invisible shield that helps your vacuum pull out future soil and improves stain resistance between cleanings.

Frequently asked questions

What furniture will you move?

We move small furniture — coffee tables, end tables, dining chairs, recliners, light sofas. For safety we typically don't move heavy items like china cabinets or entertainment centers, or anything holding electronics and breakables.

Can I walk on the carpet after it's cleaned?

You certainly can. We recommend clean socks or house slippers so you don't transfer soil onto the fresh carpet. Careful stepping from damp carpet onto hard floors — it can be slippery.

What cleaning method do you use?

For residential carpet we use hot water extraction (steam cleaning), which fully rinses the carpet to remove as much dirt and contaminant as possible.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Remove small items and breakables from the areas being cleaned, put pets in a room we won't be working in, and keep children clear of equipment and hoses. We'll send a 'How to get ready' email before your appointment.

Do you offer upholstery & furniture cleaning?

Absolutely. We clean synthetic, fine fabric, and leather upholstery — your technician identifies the fiber type and the safe method for each piece during the walk-thru.
