We used Unique Carpet Cleaning and could not be happier with the results. They did our stairs and cleaned an accent chair. The chair had drippy mess of melted butter down the inside of the arm. There is no so sign of any stain!! Very pleased !! If you use them, you will be pleased.

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.
