Rentals and turnovers

Carpet cleaning between residents and guests

Every move-out leaves traffic lanes, spots and odors in the carpet, and the next resident sees them on the first walk-through. Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction lifts ground-in dirt with about 80% less water than steam cleaning, and The Natural®, our core cleaner, contains no soaps or phosphates, so carpet is typically dry in 1 to 2 hours instead of 24 hours or more.

We clean vacant units, occupied apartments and furnished rentals, and we can schedule around move-out dates, showings and guest check-ins.

Rental carpet cleaning for managers, owners, tenants and hosts

Property managers

Make-ready carpet cleaning for vacant units, plus lobbies, corridors and leasing offices. For communities with steady turnover we set up a regular schedule that fits yours. For offices and other buildings, see commercial carpet cleaning.

Landlords and owners

Carpet cleaning between tenants in rental houses, condos and townhomes. Where a pet has left odor behind, P.U.R.T.® treats the source of the odor instead of covering it up. Chem-Dry suggests a professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months.

Tenants moving out or in

If your lease asks for professional carpet cleaning at move-out, book it before the walk-through; carpet is typically dry in 1 to 2 hours. Moving in? A cleaning before you unpack gives you a fresh start.

Airbnb and short-term rental hosts

Carpet, couches and mattresses cleaned between guest stays. Carpet and upholstery are typically dry in 1 to 2 hours, and mattresses are almost completely dry in a few hours, so plan the visit around checkout.

What we clean in rental units

Carpet

Bedrooms, living areas, hallways and stairs, with the same Hot Carbonating Extraction we use for carpet cleaning in homes.

Pet urine odor

A UV light finds hidden urine deposits, and P.U.R.T.® pet urine odor removal reaches down to the subfloor. Book it at least a day before move-in: the treatment ends once the product fully dries.

Couches and chairs

Furnished units and short-term rentals. Upholstery cleaning leaves furniture dry 1 to 2 hours after cleaning.

Mattresses

Mattress cleaning without soaking the mattress, almost completely dry in a few hours.

Area rugs

Rugs in staged and furnished units. Area rug cleaning uses a gentle process that preserves the dyes.

How a rental cleaning works

  1. Tell us about the unit. Rooms, pets and the date you need it ready, through the quote form or at (281) 350-4644.
  2. Pick the time. Before the walk-through, between residents or between guest stays.
  3. Clean and dry. Carpet is typically dry in 1 to 2 hours; plan P.U.R.T.® at least a day before move-in.

Apartment Carpet Cleaning FAQs

Do you clean carpet in apartments and condos?

Yes. We clean carpet, upholstery, mattresses and area rugs in apartments, condos, townhomes and rental houses across Greater Houston, whether the unit is vacant, occupied or furnished for guests.

How long does apartment carpet take to dry?

Typically 1 to 2 hours. Hot Carbonating Extraction uses about 80% less water than steam cleaning, which can leave carpet wet for 24 hours or more.

Should I clean the carpet before moving out?

Check your lease. Some leases ask for professional carpet cleaning at move-out. If yours does, schedule it before the walk-through so the carpet is clean and dry for the inspection.

How often should rental carpets be cleaned?

Chem-Dry suggests a professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months, and more often in homes with pets or kids. In rentals, a cleaning between residents gets the carpet ready for the next walk-through.

Can you remove pet urine odor between tenants?

Yes. We find hidden urine deposits with a UV light and treat them with P.U.R.T.®, which reaches down to the subfloor and destroys the molecules that cause the odor instead of covering it up.

How early should P.U.R.T.® go on before move-in?

Plan it at least a day ahead. The odor-eliminating process ends 24 to 36 hours after treatment, once the product fully dries.

Do you clean upholstery and mattresses in rentals?

Yes. Couches, chairs and mattresses in furnished units and short-term rentals. Upholstery is dry 1 to 2 hours after cleaning, and mattresses are almost completely dry in a few hours.

Can you clean an Airbnb between guest stays?

Yes. Carpet is typically dry in 1 to 2 hours. Tell us your checkout and check-in times when you book so we can plan the visit between them.

Excellent service from H-Town Chem-Dry! Dante and Byron were punctual, professional, and extremely polite. They took great care when handling our furniture and surrounding belongings, which we really appreciated. They cleaned our king-size upholstered bed and four barstools, and everything came out beautifully. The upholstery looks fresh, clean, and noticeably brighter. They were thorough, respectful of our home, and made the entire process easy from start to finish. We’re extremely pleased with the results and would absolutely recommend H-Town Chem-Dry. We’ll definitely use them again!

Wonderful experience! Process was very communicative and thorough. Carpet looks great and house smells great too. I have small kids so finding a treatment that was non toxic was important. Would definitely recommend!
