Sandy · Service by Danielle · Verified Google review“I have used A OK Quick-Dry Carpet Cleaning for several years. Andy did the work and he did a fantastic job! He called prior to showing up for my appointment. He took room measurements of what I wanted done and then sat down with me to do numbers. I asked if he could clean an area rug as well and he gave me a fantastic price! He did the cleaning himself and my carpeting looks fantastic! I will definitely continue to use his company again!”

What to know before you book — from appointment length to pricing to pet stains.
How long does an appointment take?
For a typical home (around 3 areas), we're usually finished in 60–90 minutes. We do a quick walkthrough with you first so we're on the same page.
How fast do carpets dry?
Most carpets are dry in 1–2 hours. We pull the water right back out as we clean, so carpet is left damp to the touch, not soaked — you're back to normal the same day.
Do you move furniture?
We move smaller items (chairs, light tables) when safe. For heavy pieces, we clean around them. If your furniture needs cleaning too, we offer upholstery cleaning in Cary.
Can you help with pet odor or accident spots?
Yes. We apply a targeted treatment that goes after urine crystals deep in the carpet — not just the surface smell. For severe or recurring issues, our pet urine removal service fully neutralizes odors at the source.
Are your products safe for kids and pets?
Absolutely. We use plant-derived, non-toxic solutions that are safe for families, pets, and anyone with allergies.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Cary?
Starts at $119 for a small area (up to 300 sq ft), $199 for medium, $299 for large. Your tech measures and confirms the price before starting. Stairs are $4 each, landings $8–12.
Are you a local carpet cleaner near Cary?
Yes — we're locally operated, serving Cary and McHenry County since 1987. Our technicians live and work in the community.
Can you clean a walk-out basement carpet in Cary without leaving it damp?
Yes — walk-out and finished basements are common in Cary's hillside subdivisions, and the shaded, humid river-valley setting is exactly why getting the water back out matters. We clean with powerful hot water extraction that leaves the carpet damp to the touch, not soaked, so it dries in a few hours instead of staying wet long enough to turn musty. We pre-treat for any slab-related odor and confirm the exact price before we start.
Proudly Serving Cary & McHenry County
If you're searching for carpet cleaning near me in 60013, you're in the right place.
Cary climbs the wooded hills above the Fox River, and that setting shapes the carpet here as much as the housing does. The big 1980s and '90s subdivisions like Fox Trails, along with the newer family neighborhoods of Prairie Ridge, Foxford Estates, and Village Creek, are full of two-story homes with carpeted family rooms, three or four bedrooms upstairs, and finished basements — many of them walk-out basements that open onto the sloped, shaded lots Cary is known for. Heavy tree cover keeps those lots cool and damp, and lower-level rooms especially tend to hold humidity. That's exactly the environment where a carpet cleaned the wrong way — soaked and left to dry on its own — turns musty.
Add everyday life on top of that. A family room carpet in Prairie Ridge takes years of foot traffic, dropped snacks, and pet naps; a basement carpet hosts movie nights and sleepovers; and the entry and stair traffic lanes collect the fine salt and grit tracked in off Route 14 and Cary-Algonquin Road every winter. All of that settles down into the carpet backing, below where a household vacuum can pull it out, and the busiest paths go gray and flat first.
We clean with powerful hot water extraction. Heated solution releases the embedded soil, then we pull the water and the dissolved dirt right back out, so the carpet is left damp to the touch rather than soaked — it dries in a few hours, even in Cary's shadier, more humid neighborhoods. There's no sticky residue left behind to make the carpet re-soil quickly, which is the real downside of the over-wetting, soak-and-leave approach. For a walk-out basement that already fights river-valley dampness, getting the water back out is the whole job. Cary is about 11 minutes from our Crystal Lake shop via Route 14, and we've cleaned carpet across McHenry County since 1987.
