As I mentioned in my previous post, we just bought a house last month. Since the house was a foreclosure property, it needed a bit of work before we could move in and start our life of domestic bliss. The first thing on my list after painting the interior, was getting the carpets cleaned. I don’t know who lived here before us, but I can say that they were quite messy - they left no room unstained. The dining area was the worst, but the entire house had some pretty nasty looking carpet. I wasn’t sure it was salvageable, but after assurances from my Dad, a man with experience in the industry, I decided to give steam cleaning a try.
After attempting to find reliable reviews of local companies online, I was a bit disappointed. There isn’t much information out there about the plethora of carpet cleaning services in the Fort Collins area, so I was basically taking a stab in the dark, and hoping to find someone good. Of course, I could have called Stanley Steamer, or some other national brand, but this time I decided it would be best to keep it local. Fortunately, I was able to find a company listed on Tom Martino’s troubleshooter referral list - as close to a review as I was going to get, so I went with Best Home Cleaning Systems.
The Best Home Cleaning Systems rep that dealt with my carpets, Eric, was very punctual - I was told that he would arrive between 8 and 9 am, and he was at my door at 8 am sharp. He was a very professional and courteous individual, and I felt comfortable with him in my house. He surveyed the carpets, and without pressuring me, suggested that I may want to do more than a basic steam cleaning. We talked about Best Home’s services for a few minutes, and finalized my ‘order’. After a quick call to the office to report my credit card information, he got to work.
Eric was able to work quickly and do good work. The steam cleaning process did a pretty good job on the carpets, although a few stains have since returned. I certainly didn’t expect the carpet to look anywhere close to brand new, so I was surprised at how well the cleaning turned out. Only after the heavy traffic of my painting volunteers and moving volunteers, did I start to see the return of a few of the old stains in some of the worst areas. As of now, a few weeks later, I am still satisfied with how most of the carpet has remained nice and clean.
As far as I can tell, Best Home’s steam cleaning is competitively priced. Their services seem to reflect the same structure and pricing as most other steam cleaning outfits in town, as well as nationally recognized brands. Their equipment seemed to be modern enough to do the job correctly, and didn’t cause any problems for me or my neighbors besides the loudness of the truck mounted motor. Basically, I have no complaints about their service, and I think they did a great job, so if you are looking for a Northern Colorado steam cleaning company, you can be confident that Best Home Cleaning Systems will come through for you.
5/5
Have you ever had Best Home clean your carpets? Do you have info about any other Fort Collins/Northern CO steam cleaning companies that you would like to share?

How do you like Fort Collins? I went to college there (’92 grad) and loved the town. It’s changed a lot since then, but it still has the same feel in Old Town and other parts of the city I think.
I like Fort Collins a lot, it’s my home town. I would probably be happy living here for the rest of my life, but then again, I wouldn’t mind moving around a bit more as well. I don’t spend a lot of time in Old Town, but it still seems to have the same vibe that I remember as a kid.
Thanks for the very good review. It’s a great help as basis on finding the best carpet cleaning agency that would do the job for us. Maybe one of this day I would try to use their service.
