Deep Steam Floor Care & Restoration has been cleaning carpet in Nashville since 2017. We’re a local Nashville company with more than 8,000 clients and 1,200+ 5-Star Google Reviews. If you’re comparing Nashville carpet cleaners, here’s what you get with us: top-of-the-line truck-mounted hot water extraction, green cleaning solutions, published prices, and a technician who walks the rooms with you before any cleaning starts.
We’ll always tell you what can realistically be improved before we start. Some stains, sun fading and worn traffic lanes won’t fully come out, and we’d rather tell you up front than surprise you after the truck leaves.
Standard carpet cleaning is $75 per room, and most carpet is dry in about 4 to 8 hours.

Need a Lighter Maintenance Clean? Try Fast Dry Clean
For eligible, lightly soiled carpet between deeper cleanings, our Fast Dry Clean service uses very-low-moisture (VLM) cleaning methods to help lift light soil with faster drying. Fast Dry Clean Carpet is $75 per standard room (up to 200 sq. ft.); existing appointment minimums and room definitions apply. It does not include deep scrubbing, heavy stain treatment or pet urine remediation. For heavier soil, hot water extraction remains the better choice, and we'll help you pick the right method.
Our Truck-Mounted Hot Water Extraction Process, Step by Step
Hot water extraction is the method most people mean when they say “steam cleaning.” Our truck-mounted unit stays outside. Only the hoses come into your home. The truck heats the rinse water and supplies strong suction, so soil, old residue and most of the water are pulled back out to the truck instead of being left in your carpet. Learn more about truck-mounted hot water extraction.
Our full process has 11 steps, but not every carpet needs every step. The fiber, the soil level and the carpet’s condition decide which steps we use and how we do each one.
Before We Clean
Pre-inspection
Your technician walks the rooms with you, identifies the fiber, points out stains that may not come out, and confirms the price before starting.
Dry soil removal
Much of the soil in carpet is dry grit. We vacuum where needed so it comes out before any water goes down.
Pre-conditioning
A pre-spray matched to the fiber loosens oily soil and many spots so they rinse out more easily.
Spot pre-treatment
Spots that need their own solution are treated before the main cleaning. Extra charges may apply, and you'll hear about them first.
The Deep Clean
Pile agitation
We work the pre-spray into the pile with gentle agitation so soil lets go during the rinse.
Hot water extraction
The truck-mounted unit rinses the carpet with hot water and pulls the water and soil back out with strong suction.
pH neutralizing
We balance the pH so the carpet dries soft and is less likely to attract new dirt.
Specialty spotting
Stains that remain after the rinse get targeted treatment. Extra charges may apply.
Finishing and Drying
Pile grooming
We groom the pile so it dries evenly and stands in one direction.
Speed drying
We set high-velocity air movers where needed. Most carpet is dry in about 4 to 8 hours, depending on airflow and carpet type. Here's more on how long carpet takes to dry.
Final walkthrough
We go through the results with you before we leave.
Light and moderate furniture can be moved as part of the appointment. Heavy items such as pianos, beds and large entertainment centers are cleaned around or moved with extra handling, whichever works better for you.
Wool and Specialty Carpet
Our technicians are Certified in Wool & Rayon/Viscose Textile Care. That matters for wool carpet and other delicate fibers, where moisture, pH and drying need tighter control than they do on everyday nylon or polyester. If you're not sure what your carpet is made of, we'll identify the fiber during the pre-inspection and adjust the cleaning to match.
Pet Odor and Stain Treatment
Pet urine rarely stays where you see it. It runs through the carpet fibers into the backing and spreads out in the pad, so the affected area underneath is often much larger than the spot on top. That’s why the smell comes back on humid Tennessee days, even after the stain looks gone.
Every pet job starts with a free blacklight inspection. We use a UV light where appropriate to find old, dried urine you can’t see in normal light, and we check how deep it went. Then we apply an enzyme treatment to each affected area, give it time to work on the residue that causes the odor, and flush it out with subsurface extraction and hot water extraction.
We’ll be straight with you about the limits. In most homes, enzyme treatment and deep cleaning greatly reduce the odor and remove most of it. When the pad is saturated or urine has reached the subfloor, cleaning alone may not be enough, and replacing that section of pad usually does more than cleaning it again. Old accidents can also leave lasting yellow or faded spots even after the odor is gone. You’ll hear all of this, and the price, before we start.
Until we arrive, blot fresh accidents with plain white towels and cool water, and skip heat, steam and ammonia-based cleaners. See our full pet urine and odor treatment page, or read about pet urine in carpet padding.
Green Cleaning Solutions
Green cleaning isn’t an upgrade you have to ask for. It’s how we clean every carpet. We use green cleaning solutions, selected for the material and used according to manufacturer directions. Product information and SDS sheets are available on request.
Because heat, agitation and suction do most of the heavy lifting, the solution doesn’t have to be harsh. The rinse carries it back out with the soil, so you aren’t left with a sticky film that attracts new dirt. We also skip the heavy perfume.
One practical tip: keep kids and pets off the carpet until it’s dry, since damp carpet picks up dirt quickly. Read more about our green carpet cleaning.
Carpet Cleaning Across Nashville Neighborhoods
Our Nashville crew is based in the city, so most Davidson County addresses are a short drive away. Every neighborhood gets the same process and the same published prices.
East Nashville and Germantown. Older homes, renovated bungalows and newer townhomes, often with carpeted stairs and bedrooms over hardwood main floors. Stairs are priced per set, up to 17 steps, so you know the cost before we arrive.
The Gulch and West End/Midtown. Condos and apartments, including high-rise buildings. Let us know about parking, loading and elevator rules when you book so we can plan the visit around your building.
12 South, Green Hills, Belle Meade and Sylvan Park. Many homes here have wool carpet, specialty fibers or fine area rugs. Our wool and rayon/viscose training matters most on these jobs, and fine rugs can go to Silk & Shine Rug Spa for in-plant washing.
Donelson, Madison, Antioch and Bellevue. Busy family homes, rentals and homes with pets, where traffic lanes, stairs and pet treatment are the usual priorities. Each has its own page: Donelson & Hermitage, Madison, Antioch and Bellevue.

Protect Your Carpet After Cleaning
Fabric Protector is an optional premium add-on, applied after cleaning on carpet where the fiber allows. Before applying it, your technician checks the fiber and confirms it's a good fit. It helps the fibers resist spills and soil, so many spills are easier to blot and routine cleanup is easier between professional cleanings.
Benefits may include:
- Helps resist liquid spills
- Helps reduce soil buildup in traffic lanes
- Makes many spills easier to blot
Protector pricing
- Carpet$40per room
- Stairs$40per set
