In Washington, DC, a home can look spotless and still feel off. Grit builds up fast near entryways, traffic lanes flatten in busy living rooms, and rugs and upholstery quietly collect daily life. Whether you're in a Capitol Hill rowhouse, a condo near Navy Yard, a Dupont Circle apartment, or a small office Downtown, the goal is usually the same: get back to a clean baseline that feels fresh, not just “good enough.” At UCM Carpet Cleaning of DC, we keep the process straightforward. We start with a walk-through, explain what's realistic, confirm the scope and price before we begin, and then clean with the level of detail you expect when someone is working inside your space.
We work across the District every week - Georgetown, Logan Circle, Adams Morgan, Shaw, Petworth, Columbia Heights, Brookland, and beyond - and we plan for DC logistics like tight parking, stair-heavy buildings, and elevator schedules. If you're preparing for guests, turning over a rental, handling pet spots, or trying to refresh a high-traffic area, we'll recommend the right service based on what we see during the inspection, not on pressure or surprise add-ons.

Many DC homes and buildings need more than one service at a time - carpets in bedrooms, a living room rug that needs careful handling, upholstery that holds odors and oils, or ductwork that has accumulated dust over the years. We help you plan the right mix so the work feels coordinated, not piecemeal.
We start by looking at the areas you care about most and the areas that drive results: traffic lanes, edge buildup, spotting, fiber wear, and any moisture concerns. Then we explain what's realistic before we begin, including what may not fully change if the issue is permanent staining or worn fibers.
You'll know the scope, the method, and the expected drying range before we start. If you ask about optional treatments, we explain what they do, what they cost, and when they actually make sense. If anything changes after inspection, we talk through it first.
We focus on the places most companies rush past - edges, transitions, high-use pathways, and the lived-in zones where dirt settles in. If there are pet spots or odor concerns, we address them with a plan that matches the material and the situation, with realistic expectations.
We do a quick walk-through with you, point out what improved, and share simple care tips that fit DC life: winter salt near entryways, humidity that lingers in lower levels, and the reality of busy schedules.
We price based on scope and conditions, not vague promises. When you call, we can usually provide a fast range, then confirm after inspection.
For the fastest quote, call 202-683-4270 and share your neighborhood, what you're cleaning, and the main concern you want solved.

Mold testing is documentation through targeted sampling and lab analysis when appropriate. Mold remediation is scope-based work intended to address affected materials and conditions. Water damage restoration focuses on extraction, drying, and moisture control steps based on what was observed. We do not diagnose health conditions and we do not promise health outcomes.
Most DC apartments and townhomes take 1-3 hours on site, depending on room count, furniture layout, carpet type, and how much spotting needs attention.
Dry time varies by airflow, humidity, carpet type, and how heavily soiled the carpet is. We'll give you a realistic range after inspection so you can plan your day.
We can move light furniture as part of the visit. For heavy, fragile, or electronics-heavy items, we'll plan around them and focus on traffic areas and edges.
We can treat many pet odor and stain situations, but outcomes depend on how deep the issue goes and what materials are affected. After inspection, we'll explain options and set realistic expectations.
Yes, in many cases we can combine services in one appointment. Tell us what you have and we'll confirm what makes sense for timing and scope.
We can provide documentation of what was observed and what work was performed, and we can coordinate timing when an adjuster or property manager is involved.
