Our propriety advanced hot water extraction process uses non-toxic oxygen enriched water. Superior antimicrobial capabilities are achieved, providing a cleaner, more hygienic service, without the use of toxic chemicals or sodium hydroxide. After cleaning, our enriched water is metabolized into hydrogen and oxygen, leaving your carpet clean and free of any chemical or soap residue. Unlike other 'water' technologies marketed in Des Moines, we are the only company featuring both antimicrobial and residue free technology.

Angie's List members that are new clients will receive a free vacuum tune-up, our minimum charge of $89 which includes up to 260 sq ft of carpet cleaning applies.

"They returned old carpets to a very acceptable level, even on the stairs. It was a busy time of the year for Steamway so we did have to wait close to 3 weeks to have them cleaned so plan ahead. The two Professional cleaners were friendly and worked quickly. It took about 4 hours. It takes a lot of work to get as much as you can off the carpets but it is worth it especially in the closets."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

Flooring installation usually takes about one to three days, so it’s a project you can do over a long weekend if you plan to DIY. Keep in mind that for some types of flooring, like hardwood or laminate, you’ll need to let the floor panels sit out of the packaging to acclimate them to their future home. This step will add at least a day to the project time, but it will help minimize the risk of warping due to changes in temperature and humidity.

The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers. 

Yes, carpet tiles are easy to install—even if you don’t have much DIY experience. In fact, the simple installation process is one of the main reasons that people choose carpet tiles over traditional carpet. Since carpet tiles come in individual squares, they aren’t as heavy or awkward to install as regular carpet. Plus, you don’t need specialized equipment (like knee kickers or carpet stretchers) when installing carpet tiles.
