Blythewood had roughly 2,000 residents in 2010. The 2020 census counted 4,772, and the town has kept growing since, so a lot of the carpet here is still on its first owner. Some of it is still on its first year.
Our office is at 200 McLean Rd, which makes Blythewood the shortest drive we have. Most weeks we're in two very different kinds of houses in town, and they don't need the same thing from us.
The new subdivisions
The streets that went in off Blythewood Rd and Wilson Blvd over the last few years mostly came with builder carpet: thin, pale beige, and quick to show a lane down the hall. Fine construction dust from the last weeks of the build settles at the base of the fibers before anyone moves in. The first summer adds pine pollen and whatever sand the kids carry in from a yard that hasn't filled in yet.
My advice, after a lot of these homes, is to get a new carpet cleaned near the end of its second year, before the hallway turns gray. The price is the same at year five. By then, though, grit has already sanded down some of the pile, and no cleaning grows it back.
With Scout Motors building its plant just up the interstate, more neighborhoods are on the way and more families are arriving on short notice. Move-in and move-out cleanings make up a real share of our week. The 3 rooms for $88 coupon covers most downstairs layouts in the newer houses.
The older lots
Then there's the Blythewood that was here first. Birch Springs was one of the town's earliest subdivisions, with big wooded lots and houses that have been lived in hard for decades. Carpet in those homes has a past (dogs, kids, a lot of spilled coffee), and plenty of them have wool rugs over hardwood in the front rooms. We clean those area rugs right on your floor. Nothing gets rolled up and hauled off.
The one thing both kinds of houses share is spring. Pine pollen coats every car and porch in town for a few weeks, and some of it walks inside on shoes. It's fine and a little oily, and a vacuum tends to smear it around more than it picks it up.
What happens when we come out
Your technician looks over the rooms with you, mentions anything that may not come out completely, and tells you the price before starting. Stains and traffic paths get a spot treatment. After that, a carbonated solution goes down and lifts the soil up where the machine can pull it away, with no soap left behind to attract new dirt. Nobody drags a long hose through your front door, and with so little water involved, most rooms can be walked on in about an hour.
Dog accidents in the bedroom get our enzyme odor treatment, which works down into the pad where the smell actually sits. Want a slot that fits around school pickup? Pick one on our online scheduler, or call 803-393-7625.
