Carpet Cleaning Near Me
in Holt and the Greater Lansing Area
If you're searching for "carpet cleaning near me," Feldpausch Cleaning Services is based in Holt and cleans carpets throughout Lansing, East Lansing, Mason, and Meridian Township. The team uses hot water extraction, the method recommended by every major carpet manufacturer, rather than lower-cost shortcuts that leave residue behind.
Feldpausch has been family-owned and operated since 2007, working directly in the homes it serves rather than dispatching subcontractors. You can call or text (517) 582-1083 for a free estimate before scheduling anything.
What Local Carpet Cleaning Near Me Actually Includes
A local carpet cleaning near me search usually means you want someone who knows the area, shows up when they say they will, and stands behind the work if something's not right. Feldpausch is based in Holt, so jobs in Lansing, East Lansing, Mason, and Meridian Township aren't a detour — they're the regular service area.
Every job uses hot water extraction, which flushes cleaning solution and dirt out of the carpet fibers rather than just surface-cleaning the top layer. That's the method carpet manufacturers recommend for maintaining warranty coverage on most residential carpets.
Hot Water Extraction vs. Other Cleaning Methods
Some cleaning services use dry compound or shampoo methods because the equipment is cheaper to run. Feldpausch uses hot water extraction because it gets deeper into the pile and rinses out residue, instead of leaving it behind to attract dirt faster.
This matters most in high-traffic Michigan homes with kids, pets, or allergies, where surface cleaning alone doesn't address what's settled into the fibers. Learn what Michigan weather does to your carpet.
Our Carpet Cleaning Services
We remove most carpet stains, including coffee, wine, food, blood, grease, rust, and many ink stains using professional stain-specific treatments.
Some stains, such as Red Dye 40, permanent dye transfer, or deeply set stains, may not be fully removable. Every stain is pre-tested in an inconspicuous area, and we'll give you an honest assessment before treatment so you know what results to expect.
Stain Removal
What We Can Fix, What We Cannot, and Why We Will Tell You Upfront
Our pet odor removal process begins with a UV inspection to locate hidden urine contamination, which is often much larger than the visible stain.
We use enzyme treatments to eliminate odor at the source—not just mask it. If contamination has reached the carpet pad or subfloor, we'll explain your options upfront and recommend the most effective long-term solution.
Pet Urine and Odor
The Complete Story
We provide carpet repair services, including carpet stretching, seam repair, patching, tack strip replacement, and re-stretching for loose or rippled carpet.
Whether your carpet has pet damage, burn marks, wrinkles, or separated seams, we'll evaluate whether repair is a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Contact us at (517) 582-1083 for a professional assessment.
Carpet Repair & Stretching
Carpet wicking occurs when stains return after cleaning because soil trapped deep in the carpet pad rises to the surface as the carpet dries.
This is a common issue with heavily soiled carpets and is not a sign of poor cleaning. In most cases, a follow-up spot treatment after the carpet is fully dry permanently resolves the stain.

Our 6-Step
Carpet Cleaning Process
Step 1: Pre-inspection
We walk the carpeted areas with you before any chemistry touches a surface. We identify fiber type, soiling level, stain locations, and any existing damage. We tell you what we expect to achieve and what we cannot fix before we start.
Step 2: Spot Pre-Treatment
Stains and heavy soiling areas receive targeted pre-treatment with chemistry matched to the specific stain type.
Step 3 : Traffic Lane Pre-Spray
High-traffic areas receive a pre-spray that begins breaking down the bonded soil load before the extraction pass.
Step 4: Hot Water Extraction
We make extraction passes with our truck-mounted system, which maintains consistent water temperature and suction pressure throughout the job — unlike portable units that lose temperature as water cools in the tank.
Step 5: Post-Spot Treatment
Any stains that did not fully respond to pre-treatment receive a secondary targeted application.
Step 6: Pile Grooming and Speed-Dry
We groom the pile to restore its direction and place air movers to accelerate drying. Standard drying time is 4 to 6 hours; with air movers, 2 to 3 hours.
Beyond Carpet: Rugs, Upholstery, Tile, and Hard Floors
For area rug cleaning, area rugs are picked up and delivered free of charge, then cleaned at the Feldpausch facility using fiber-appropriate chemistry and controlled drying — not the same process used on wall-to-wall carpet.
Upholstery cleaning is fabric-code matched, so sofas, sectionals, and chairs are cleaned with a method suited to that specific fabric rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Tile and grout restoration and hardwood/hard floor care round out the residential services if you're cleaning a whole house rather than just carpet
Commercial Carpet and Janitorial for Lansing-Area Businesses
Offices, restaurants, medical facilities, schools, and property management clients across the Lansing area use Feldpausch for ongoing commercial janitorial cleaning programs, including commercial carpet cleaning as part of the scope.
For facilities needing disinfection beyond standard mopping and wiping, Feldpausch runs a Graco SaniSpray HP system for electrostatic application at 180-220°F — a different standard than typical janitorial misting. Call to schedule a facility walkthrough and get a written proposal.

Your Carpet Cleaning Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Lansing?
The general pricing for carpet cleaning in Lansing ranges from $35 to $55 per room or $0.20 to $0.35 per square foot for larger areas. Additional charges may apply for pet treatment, stairs, and heavy soiling. For a free estimate, call us at (517) 582-1083.What cleaning method do you use on carpet?
Hot water extraction, which is the method recommended by major carpet manufacturers for cleaning without leaving residue behind.
Is 'steam cleaning' the same as hot water extraction?
No, true steam cleaning uses steam without extraction, which is not suitable for deep cleaning carpets. Most companies use 'steam cleaning' to refer to hot water extraction, which injects hot water and solution under pressure and then extracts it. Always confirm that extraction is part of the service.My stain came back a few days after cleaning — why?
This phenomenon is known as wicking. It occurs when stains from the pad rise back to the surface as the carpet dries. If this happens, allow the carpet to dry completely and then re-spot the area. Persistent wicking may require a more targeted treatment, so contact us for an assessment.Can you permanently remove pet urine smell?
Yes, in most cases where contamination is limited to the carpet fiber and upper pad. Enzyme treatment breaks down uric acid at the molecular level, eliminating the odor source rather than masking it. When the pad is fully saturated or the subfloor is contaminated, the treatment options are more limited and we will tell you that honestly at the pre-inspection stage.
How is Feldpausch different from Stanley Steemer?
Stanley Steemer is a national franchise brand with standardized equipment and processes. Their pricing and service tiers are designed for volume and consistency at scale. Feldpausch is an owner-operated local business with 30 years of Lansing-area experience. Our IICRC certification means we assess each carpet individually — fiber type, construction, soiling level, stain chemistry — and choose the approach accordingly. When you call us at (517) 582-1083, you are speaking with the people who will clean your carpet. When something is wrong, the owner is accountable directly.
Do you serve my neighborhood if I'm searching for carpet cleaning near me?
If you're in Holt, Lansing, East Lansing, Mason, or Meridian Township, you're in the regular service area.
Can you clean area rugs at my house?
Area rugs are picked up and delivered free of charge and cleaned at the Feldpausch facility rather than in-home, since rugs need fiber-specific chemistry and controlled drying.
Do you clean upholstery as well as carpet?
Yes, upholstery cleaning is available and is fabric-code matched to avoid damaging the specific material of your sofa or chair.
Is Feldpausch a franchise?
No, it's family-owned and operated, serving the Lansing area directly rather than through a franchise call center.
Dirty carpet, pet odors, or high-traffic wear?
Feldpausch uses hot water extraction — the method carpet manufacturers actually recommend — to clean deeper and leave less residue behind. Serving Holt and Greater Lansing since 2007.
