Older textiles, historic districts and the hills
Older houses keep older textiles. The median home was built in 1956 and nearly a third predate 1950, so rugs that have lain in one room for decades deserve a careful description on the call. Before a rug goes to a dry cleaner, the Carpet and Rug Institute says to call first, since many dry cleaners do not clean rugs and some rugs are labeled dry-clean only. Whittier’s designated historic districts, which include Central Park, Hadley-Greenleaf, College Hills and a cluster on Earlham Drive, hold many Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival homes.
The hills matter too. Roughly a third of Whittier’s land lies in the county’s Very High fire hazard zone, which is why air duct questions come up after smoke in the hillside areas.
Craftsman, ranch and apartment homes
A typical home from 1956
Nearly a third of homes predate 1950 and half date from the two decades after, with only a few from this century.
SourceMostly owner-occupied houses
Close to six homes in ten are owner-occupied. Nearly two thirds of units are detached houses, and one in seven sits in a building of two to nine units.
SourceSome mid-size buildings
Buildings of ten or more units hold about one unit in eight, so say which kind of building you live in when you call.

Rugs first, then floors, then ducts
Houses of this age often have area rugs on wood or tile floors, which makes rug cleaning the first request, with carpet cleaning for bedrooms and halls. In the hillside areas, air duct cleaning comes up after smoke. The county says to consider it, with a MERV 13 filter, in homes with central HVAC, while the EPA says routine cleaning is not needed.

In their words
What customers say on Google
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
I particularly liked the way the lead cleaner described the PH balance of the solutions that they were using on our carpets. The acidic neutralizing rinse makes sure the floor doesn’t feel crunchy or sticky when it is dry. That extra step means our floors are very silky and totally residue-free.
My kids have turned the giant living room ottoman into a trampoline and it's forever soiled with imprints. Steam cleaning the hefty cloth removed all the dark grime and restored the original bright blue hue. The furniture which is the focus is clean and the living space appears a lot tidier today.
Thick outdoor seats were covered in tree algae and bird poop. Power-washings of the tough material killed any dirt from outside. We are pleased to be hosting barbecues from our clean chairs again.
