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 Island Lake.
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 Island Lake?
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 Island Lake?
Yes — we're locally operated, serving Island Lake and Lake County since 1987. Our technicians live and work in the community.
Our Island Lake lake cottage has carpet that always smells a little musty in the lower level — can you help?
Yes — musty lower-level carpet near the lake and Mutton Creek is one of our most common Island Lake calls. Converted cottages and homes close to the water fight chronic humidity, so we keep moisture under tight control and use powerful hot water extraction to pull the odor-causing soil out of the backing rather than just masking the smell, leaving the carpet damp to the touch instead of soaked. Most of it is dry and walkable in a few hours rather than days. For deep or recurring odor we'll tell you on-site what it needs and confirm the exact price before we start.
Proudly Serving Island Lake & Lake County
If you're searching for carpet cleaning near me in 60042, you're in the right place.
Island Lake is built around its namesake 100-acre lake and the Mutton Creek wetland corridor, and water is the through-line in almost every carpet job we run here. The converted lakefront cottages along Island Lake Shores and the older ranches off Conley Road sit close enough to the water that elevated humidity and seasonal moisture are constant — and homes near the creek see the occasional basement flooding on top of it. Damp lower levels are exactly where carpet picks up musty odors, and exactly where a soak-and-leave operator who over-wets your carpet leaves you worse off than before, because that extra water just sits in fibers that are already fighting moisture.
Winter brings the other problem. Route 176 bisects the village and gets heavily salted all winter, and that fine grit grinds into the entryways and hallway traffic lanes of homes in Timber Trails and the Eastgate area. By spring, those lanes look gray and matted no matter how often you vacuum, because the salt and soil are packed down into the backing where surface cleaning can't reach. With housing that ranges from 1930s winterized cottages to 2000s builder-grade subdivisions, the carpet here holds everything from chronic dampness to decades of family and pet traffic.
We clean with powerful hot water extraction: we inject a heated solution to lift the embedded grit and salt, then immediately pull the water and the dissolved soil right back out. The carpet is left damp to the touch, not soaked, so it dries in a few hours instead of staying wet for a day or two, and there's no sticky residue left to make it re-soil fast. For a converted cottage near the lake or a lower level near Mutton Creek that already fights humidity, controlling how much water goes in — and getting it all back out — is the whole job. Island Lake is about 18 minutes from our Crystal Lake shop via Route 176, and we've cleaned carpet across Lake County since 1987.
