We do carpet cleaning in Cave Creek all the time.
Grit from dirt drives and arenas is what we work out of Cave Creek carpet, with an orbital agitator ahead of the hot water rinse. Count your rooms below and text the price to book, or call (480) 389-8415 any day, 7am to 8pm.
The difference between a cleaning and a good cleaning is time. We take ours.
Price it yourselfIn a lot of Cave Creek homes the carpet lives in the bedrooms and the casita while saltillo and stone cover everything else. Those rooms see less foot traffic than a family room would, but they collect the fine desert grit that blows in from the drive and the wash out back.
Pfaff Cleaning Co. is a locally owned Arizona company. Our method and full service area are laid out on the main carpet cleaning page.

Is your carpet 100% wool?
Wool needs extra care and wool-safe products to protect it from browning or yellowing, so it's priced higher. Not sure? Pick No, since most homes have synthetic carpet. If we find wool on site, we confirm the price before we start.

We clean with hot water extraction, what most people call steam cleaning.
Twenty-five dollars a room buys about twenty-five dollars of work. Somebody runs a wand over the open floor, recovers part of the water, and moves on. For a few days it looks fine. Then the paths across the room turn grey again, and old spots climb back up from the backing as it dries.
At $55.25 online, or $65 regular, the prespray gets time to work, the agitator breaks the soil free, and enough slow passes go over the carpet to take the water and the dirt with them instead of parking both in the pad. Edge to edge, not only the path to the bathroom. If you want furniture moved and we can safely move it, we do.
A low price is not dishonest, it just describes a smaller job. You usually end up buying that job twice.

Nothing new shows up on the bill when we arrive. Should the scope change on site, we quote the difference and wait for your okay.
Protectant, deodorizer, and sanitizing are counted per area, and a great room is two areas. The staircase in the Tatum Ranch example is why it reaches 6 areas with only 3 bedrooms.
The soil here is mostly decomposed granite and caliche dust, a sharper grit than the clay dust in town. It works into the base of the fibers and cuts them a little with every step, which is why we spend real time on agitation before the rinse. Carpet that has lived under big view windows may also carry sun fade, and we will point it out before we start.
Most rooms are ready to walk on within the hour. Extraction takes the moisture back out with the dirt, so the carpet is damp rather than soaked when we leave. Plush pile and oversized great rooms take somewhat longer, and you will get an honest estimate for your rooms before the crew leaves.
Air movement does the rest: flip the HVAC fan from AUTO to ON, get the ceiling fans spinning, and open a window on a mild day. We can set an air mover if you request one at booking, though it is not included by default.
Our main carpet cleaning page has the full drying guide.
Because spots get flushed and extracted rather than perfumed over, very few ever resurface. If one shows up again within 14 days, pet spots included, the return trip to Cave Creek and the re-treatment cost you nothing.
We work a stubborn stain with more than one chemistry and extra agitation before calling it. Sun-bleached patches under a view window, bleach marks, color loss, and spots set by a grocery-store spotter are damage rather than dirt, and no cleaning undoes them.
Tell the crew which sofas, chairs, and tables should be shifted and they will take care of it. Beds, bed frames, pianos, and pieces holding anything breakable stay where they are.
Most houses take between one and three hours, with size and soil setting the pace. A main house and casita together lands near the top of that window.
Order deodorizer or sanitizing and we guarantee the odor is gone from the areas we cleaned. If it lingers, we return.
Cave Creek sits in the high desert foothills north of Phoenix, where many roads and driveways are still dirt and most lots back up to open desert or a wash. Every car that passes kicks up dust, every dog that comes in from the yard carries some, and monsoon wind pushes a heavier load through door gaps a few times each summer. It all lands on the carpet and gets ground in underfoot.
Horse properties add another layer. Boots from the barn and the arena track a fine, gritty soil indoors, and it tends to collect at the doorways nearest the stalls. On the tract streets of Tatum Ranch the problem is more conventional: kids, pets, and a staircase that takes the whole household twice a day.
Because so many Cave Creek homes put tile or saltillo in the main living space, the carpet tends to be newer and lightly used. A guest casita may only see a handful of visitors a year but still gathers dust. Light-use carpet like that cleans up well, and protectant afterward gives you time to blot spills. Rugs laid over hard floors can be added too; see area rug cleaning, done right in your home.
We schedule Cave Creek with enough time to finish properly.
The drive up is long, so we load the truck for everything on your list and plan the day around getting it done in a single visit.
One rate covers the whole town. We are open 7 days, 7am to 8pm, with no tax added and no surprise fees.
Tatum Ranch. Master-planned streets with more carpet per home, often a great room and a staircase.
Rancho Manana and the Black Mountain area. Larger custom homes where carpet is usually limited to bedrooms and a study. Protectant and deodorizer can be added room by room.
Lone Mountain and the town core. A mix of older ranch-style places and newer hillside customs. Carpet that is near the end of its life gets an honest read from us instead of a cleaning that will not help.
We also work the custom-home areas out toward Desert Mountain.

Most rooms are dry within the hour, and a few fibers take a little longer. Wool berber and thick pile are the slowest. A closed-up bedroom in monsoon humidity takes longer than the same room on a dry spring day.
Often, yes, with a treatment matched to the spot. When urine has already gone through to the backing, the pad, or the subfloor, some of it can stay for good, and we will tell you that up front.
It depends on how many carpeted areas you have. The box near the top lists every rate, from small closets at $12.75 to great rooms at $110.50 online, and adds them up as you pick. The common setups above show where typical Cave Creek homes land.
Yes. Put the casita bedrooms and closets in the same box as the main house and we clean both buildings on one visit, at the same per-room rate.
Most of it, yes. What stays behind is wear. If grit has already frayed the fiber tips in a walking path, that path can look duller than the rest of the room even once it is clean.
Yes. Commercial carpet has separate pricing on our commercial carpet cleaning page, and evening work is available so the space is ready when you open.
