Everything under one truck
Carpet, upholstery, tile, rugs, pet odor — one call handles the house
A lot of Mint Hill homes we pull up to don't need just one thing. It's the carpet in the family room that's gone flat down the middle, the sectional the dogs have claimed, the shower grout that's gone gray, and the Oriental rug in the dining room that hasn't been washed since it was bought. We do all of it, so you're not chasing four different companies to get the house right before the holidays or before it goes on the market.
On carpet, it's truck-mounted hot-water extraction — the hot water and cleaning solution go down under pressure, then we pull it all back out with real suction from the unit on the van, so the fibers come clean deep and dry in hours instead of soaking for two days. Upholstery gets the fiber-appropriate treatment: we test first, because a microfiber sofa and a linen chair and a leather recliner all want different handling, and getting that wrong is how people ruin good furniture. Tile and grout we deep-extract and can seal, because that grout line is porous and it's been drinking up spills and red clay for years.
Fine rugs are their own thing, and we treat them that way — a hand-knotted wool or silk rug has natural dyes that can bleed and a foundation that doesn't want to be blasted on your living room floor, so those get proper care, not a truck-mount pass. Then there's pet odor and urine, carpet and fabric protection to buy the family carpet more years, and if a pipe or a storm ever leaves you with water on the floor, we do water extraction too. One crew, one standard, the whole house.
- Carpet & upholstery truck-mounted hot-water extraction plus fiber-safe furniture cleaning.
- Tile, grout & rugs deep grout extraction and sealing, plus proper care for area and Oriental rugs.
- Pet odor & protection sub-surface urine treatment and fabric/carpet protector to extend the life.
What the east side tracks in
Red clay, pine pollen, and Mint Hill's bigger yards
Mint Hill sits on the same red Piedmont clay as the rest of Charlotte, and out here the lots run bigger — more yard, more driveway, more of that iron-rich orange soil that turns to soup the second an afternoon thunderstorm rolls through in July. It rides in on shoes and paws and grinds straight into the traffic lanes, and it's the single most stubborn thing we deal with on the east side. Left alone, or worse, scrubbed with the wrong store cleaner, that red clay sets into a rusty stain that a lot of people never get back out. Caught and treated right, it usually comes up clean. That's the difference between us and a rental machine.
Then spring hits and the pollen shows up. Charlotte's yellow pine pollen coats the cars, the porches, the doormats, and it walks right in and settles into carpet and upholstery for a solid few weeks. In a house with kids or anybody who fights allergies, a deep extraction after pollen season is one of the best things you can do — it pulls the allergen load out of the fibers instead of leaving it to kick back up every time somebody sits down. We stay busy with exactly that from April into early summer.
Summer is storm-and-mud season, and the humidity is its own problem. A damp spot doesn't just take longer to dry out here — it can wick an old stain back to the surface and give mildew a foothold in the pad or in the shower grout. That's the whole reason the extraction matters as much as the cleaning. We pull the moisture back out hard so the carpet's dry in hours and the humidity never gets a chance to undo the work. Come fall it's leaf tannins and holiday-hosting cleanups, and in winter it's cold rain, the odd ice event, and a closed-up house concentrating dust and dander. Every season out here tracks in something a little different, and after 35 years we know what each one leaves behind.
- Red Carolina clay treated correctly so it lifts instead of setting into a rusty traffic lane.
- Spring pine pollen deep-extracted out of carpet and furniture for real allergy relief.
- Summer humidity & mud fast-dry extraction that beats the mildew and the wicking.
Older homes and new builds
A mix of houses means a mix of the right approach
Mint Hill isn't one kind of house, and that changes the job. You've got the established homes — some going back decades — with older carpet, layered area rugs, and tile that's seen a lot of living. And then you've got the newer construction that's gone up around the town as families moved east for the bigger lots, with modern nylon or Smartstrand plush, LVP, porcelain tile, and the occasional stone counter or bath. Same street sometimes, two completely different cleaning conversations.
On the newer plush and triexta carpet, the goal is protecting what's still a fairly new investment — knocking back the traffic lanes before they wear a permanent path, keeping the protector fresh, and getting the family soil and the pet accidents out before they become part of the carpet. Nylon especially responds beautifully to hot-water extraction and holds protector well, so those homes get the best long-term results when they're cleaned on a regular rhythm instead of waited on until the carpet's shot.
On the older homes, it's a more honest conversation. Some of that carpet has real life left and cleans up better than the owner expects — an old nylon that just looks tired can come back a long way. Some of it has lost its twist or delaminated and no cleaning reverses that kind of wear, and we'll tell you if you're at replace-not-clean instead of taking your money for a job that was never going to satisfy you. Older rugs and vintage tile get gentler handling. We'd rather set the right expectation up front than have you disappointed after — that's how you stay somebody's cleaner for 20 years.
- Newer builds protect the plush, restore traffic lanes, keep the protector working.
- Established homes honest restore-vs-replace read on older fibers, gentler care on vintage tile.
- Area & Oriental rugs proper handling for natural fibers and dyes, not a one-size truck-mount pass.
Why Mint Hill calls us back
Owner-operated, on time, and no games in your living room
Metro Steamway has been cleaning Charlotte carpet since 1988 — that's 35-plus years, and it's owner-operated, not a franchise with a rotating crew and a call center. When you call, you're getting Brian and his crew, the same people who've been doing this the whole time. Reviewers on Google mention having him back for 20 and 25 years, which tells you more about the work than anything we could put in an ad. We're 5-star rated on Google and A+ rated by the BBB.
The way we run a job is simple and it doesn't change. Booties on at the door. Furniture moved and set back down on protectors. We show up when we said we would — a few of our reviews specifically call out that Brian texts easy and shows up on time, and if you've ever waited half a day for a service window you know why that matters. No surprise upsells while we're standing in your house, no pressure, just the work you called about done right.
And we stand behind it with our 7-Day Clean Guarantee: if a spot we cleaned comes back within a week on an area we treated, we come back out and re-clean it free. Between the truck-mounted equipment, the fast drying, and a crew that actually respects the home, that's how a small owner-operated outfit stays booked on the east side by word of mouth for three and a half decades. We're here Monday through Saturday, 7 to 7, and we keep a line open 24/7 for emergency water extraction if a pipe ever lets go.

Where we work
Mint Hill and the east side of Charlotte
Mint Hill is home base for a big share of our week — the bigger lots and the mix of older homes and newer builds out here keep us busy year-round. From there we run the whole east and southeast side: down into Matthews, out to Indian Trail, and all across Charlotte. If you're in 28227 or anywhere close, we're already in your part of town regularly, so scheduling is easy.
Good to know
Common questions
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Mint Hill?
It depends on the square footage, the number of rooms, and how bad the soil and any spots are — a lightly used newer plush cleans faster than an older carpet with set-in red clay traffic lanes and pet spots. That's why we look first instead of quoting a fake flat rate over the phone. Call us at 704-343-0808, tell us what the house needs, and we'll give you a straight price with no surprise upsells when we get there.
Do you actually come out to Mint Hill, or just central Charlotte?
Mint Hill is one of our regular areas — we're on the east side every week, so you're not a special trip. We cover the whole 28227 area and out toward Matthews and Indian Trail. Because we're owner-operated and local, scheduling on this side of town is usually quick and easy.
How long will my carpet take to dry?
Usually a few hours. Our truck-mounted units pull most of the moisture back out during the cleaning, so you're not stuck with soggy carpet for a day or two like a rental machine leaves behind. That fast dry matters even more out here in the summer, because Charlotte's humidity can wick an old stain back up and invite mildew if a carpet stays damp too long.
Can you get red clay stains out of the carpet?
Most of the time, yes, if it hasn't been made worse first. Red Piedmont clay is the toughest local soil we deal with, and it sets into a rusty stain when it's scrubbed with the wrong store cleaner or left too long. We treat it correctly so it lifts instead of setting. The best thing you can do with a fresh clay track-in is not attack it with a grocery-store bottle — just let us look at it.
What else do you clean besides carpet?
Quite a bit. We do upholstery — sofas, sectionals, chairs, with the method matched to the fabric — plus tile and grout with deep extraction and sealing, area and Oriental rug cleaning, pet odor and urine treatment, and carpet and fabric protection to extend the life of what you've got. We also handle water and flood extraction, with a 24/7 line for emergencies. It's meant to be one call for the whole house.
My house is older — is my carpet even worth cleaning?
Often it's more worth it than you'd think, and we'll be honest either way. An older nylon carpet that just looks tired frequently comes back a long way with a proper hot-water extraction. But if the carpet has lost its twist, delaminated, or worn through, no cleaning reverses that, and we'll tell you if you're really at replacement instead of taking your money for a job that won't satisfy you. That straight answer is a big part of why people out here keep calling us back.
Do you treat pet urine odor, or just clean the surface?
We treat the source. Urine soaks past the carpet face into the pad and sometimes the subfloor, which is exactly why a surface clean smells fine for a day and then the odor comes back. We treat the layer where the smell actually lives and extract it out. Fresh and moderate spots usually neutralize completely; deep, years-old saturation improves a lot and we'll tell you honestly if the full fix needs the pad addressed.
How do I book, and when are you available?
Call 704-343-0808 — that's the fastest way, and you'll usually reach Brian directly. We work Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and we keep a 24/7 line for emergency water extraction. We can often get a Mint Hill appointment the same week, and everything we clean is backed by our 7-Day Clean Guarantee.
