A professional cleaning shows your unit was left in good condition and gives you a receipt for the walk-through. We clean apartments and rentals throughout Ames — including student housing near Iowa State, Campustown, South Duff, and West Ames — and can usually schedule around your lease end date.

Buying or Selling a Home?
A deep carpet cleaning is one of the easiest ways to make a home feel fresh and cared-for before it goes on the market — or to start clean in a home you just bought. Our regular residential carpet cleaning removes the dirt, allergens, and odors left behind by previous owners, so the space feels healthy from day one.
