Why combine upholstery and carpet in a single appointment
Cleaning upholstery and carpet together is smart for several reasons. It reduces downtime, streamlines scheduling, and helps you maximize your results. Dirt transfers between surfaces, so tackling both at once boosts cleanliness across your entire space. You also benefit from consistent drying times, matching results, and less back-and-forth for you and your staff or family.
Top benefits of the combo service
- Less disruption to home and office routines
- One setup, one cleanup, and one bill
- Cleaner indoor air by removing dust, dirt, and allergens from both surfaces
- Faster turnaround for move-ins, move-outs, and tenant turnovers
- Longer life for furniture and carpet due to proper maintenance
- Consistent results from the same trained team and tools
Who gets the most value from a one-visit combo
Almost any space benefits from a single service visit that covers upholstery and carpet, but some settings see especially strong returns in time and cost.
- Homes with kids, pets, or frequent guests
- Small businesses and offices that cannot spare a day for each service
- Medical, dental, and professional suites where cleanliness matters
- Property managers handling apartment turns and common areas
- Restaurants, lounges, and waiting rooms with upholstered seating
- Short-term rentals that need quick, consistent refreshes
What to expect during a combined appointment
Marathon Carpet Cleaning follows a clear, efficient process so your space looks great with minimal downtime. Our certified technicians arrive on time, complete a quick walk-through, and get to work using professional-grade tools tailored to your fabric and carpet types.
Our step-by-step process
- Pre-visit consultation. We confirm fabric types, carpet fiber, traffic patterns, stains, and access details.
- On-site inspection. Technicians inspect your upholstery and carpet, test fibers when needed, and note any special concerns.
- Dry soil removal. We vacuum carpets and furniture to pull up loose soil before wet cleaning.
- Pre-treatment. We apply targeted solutions to break down oils, spots, and tracked-in grime.
- Agitation and stain work. We gently agitate fibers and treat stains with specialty products that are safe for your materials.
- Hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning. Based on the surface and goals, we choose the best method for deep cleaning and rinsing.
- Neutralizing rinse. This helps prevent sticky residues and leaves fibers feeling soft.
- Water recovery and grooming. We extract moisture thoroughly and groom carpet fibers to speed drying and improve appearance.
- Upholstery detail. We clean cushions, arms, backs, and seams, then set up air movers to promote quick dry times.
- Final walkthrough. You review results with our team. We share maintenance tips and answer questions.
Tough stains and odors we handle
Every space is different. That is why we tailor products and techniques to your needs. Whether you are dealing with a one-time spill or repeat traffic stains, we are ready to help.
- Pet accidents and lingering odors
- Food and beverage spills like coffee, wine, and juice
- Grease and oil from kitchens or workspaces
- Allergen buildup from dust, pollen, and dander
- Salt, slush, and soil from Midwest winters
- Makeup, ink, and dye transfer on cushions and armrests
Our hot water extraction and specialty spot treatments lift soils from deep within fibers without leaving sticky residues. For delicate fabrics, we use low-moisture methods that protect color and texture. Ask our team which option is best for your specific upholstery and carpet.
Health, comfort, and productivity benefits
Clean furniture and floors affect more than looks. They influence air quality, comfort, and how people feel in your space. When upholstery and carpet are kept clean, you reduce dust and allergens, cut odors, and create a fresh environment where families relax and teams focus.
- Fewer allergens means easier breathing for sensitive individuals
- Cleaner surfaces help reduce bacteria and musty smells
- Better first impressions for visitors and clients
- Higher morale and productivity in offices and shared spaces
Marathon Carpet Cleaning invests in powerful equipment and quality cleaning solutions that remove soils and residues effectively. That means a cleaner home or office now and an easier time maintaining it moving forward.
How often should you clean upholstery and carpet
Frequency depends on traffic, pets, and indoor air quality. As a general guide, most homes do well with professional carpet cleaning every 6 to 12 months and upholstery cleaning every 12 to 18 months. High-traffic spaces and commercial properties may need more frequent service to protect fiber life and keep up appearances.
- Family rooms, hallways, and entryways: 6 to 9 months
- Bedrooms and low-traffic rooms: 9 to 12 months
- Office common areas and corridors: quarterly or biannually
- Reception seating and waiting rooms: quarterly or as needed
Pricing and value for the combo service
Bundling upholstery and carpet in a single visit often costs less than booking separate appointments. You save on setup time and travel, and your space is out of commission for fewer hours. Marathon Carpet Cleaning provides upfront, itemized pricing after a quick consultation. Factors include the number of rooms, square footage, fabric type, soil level, and any specialty spot work needed.
We are happy to offer tailored quotes for homes, offices, and multi-unit properties. Ask about maintenance schedules for recurring service that keeps your investment looking its best year-round.

How quickly will everything dry
Dry times vary based on humidity, airflow, and the cleaning method. Many carpets and fabrics dry within a few hours. We use air movers to help speed the process.
