Clarendon Hills, IL – My Carpet Cleaning is encouraging Chicago-area homeowners to schedule professional carpet cleaning in October before the winter heating season begins. The Northbrook-based company emphasizes the importance of addressing trapped dust, pet dander, and hidden urine residue before furnaces operate regularly and windows remain closed. To demonstrate its cleaning methods and pricing transparency, the company has published a real residential cleaning invoice.

The company’s recently published case study details a September 28, 2026, cleaning project at a first-floor condominium in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood (60618). The property featured four carpeted areas with light gray textured carpeting. During inspection, technicians used a UV flashlight to locate hidden pet urine spots along a bedroom doorway and baseboard that were not visible under normal lighting.

 

To explain its pricing, the carpet cleaning company published the project’s $330 invoice. The total included $280 for cleaning four areas, each measuring up to 300 square feet, at $70 per area. An additional $50 covered counter-rotating brush scrubbing. Standard cleaning included vacuuming, light furniture moving, stain pretreatment, and hot water extraction following the IICRC S100 standard.

“The first question on almost every call is ‘how much will it cost?’ So instead of another price range, we published a real invoice: what we found, what we did, and what we didn’t charge for. October is the best time to do it. Once the heat comes on and the windows close, whatever is in your carpet is going to be in your air all winter,” said Dan Indriliunas of My Carpet Cleaning.

 

The company’s seasonal recommendation also reflects broader indoor environmental concerns. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, where concentrations of certain pollutants can be two to five times higher than outdoor levels. Regular carpet maintenance can help remove accumulated debris, while professional cleaning provides additional treatment options for embedded dirt and persistent stains.

 

My Carpet Cleaning advises homeowners to inspect corners, doorways, and baseboards using an approximately $10 UV flashlight with the lights off. Fresh pet accidents should be blotted immediately, not scrubbed, and treated with an enzymatic cleaner. Following ASPCA guidance, ammonia-based cleaners should be avoided. A single fresh spot on synthetic carpet may not require professional service, but recurring odors during humid conditions can indicate contamination within the padding, requiring targeted enzyme treatment.

 

For homeowners seeking affordable carpet cleaning, My Carpet Cleaning provides transparent estimates and an online price calculator. Individual rooms typically cost $75 -150, with minimum charges of $220 in Chicago and $180 in surrounding suburbs. Optional enzyme treatments, sanitizers, and carpet protectors are priced separately and require customer approval. Most cleaned carpets typically dry within two to four hours.

 

Homeowners preparing their properties for winter can reach out to My Carpet Cleaning to discuss cleaning requirements and available appointments. Additional information and estimates are available through the company’s website.
