When life gets busy, your carpet tends to show it. Between muddy shoes, playful pets, and everyday foot traffic, dirt and spots have a way of settling in. At A Guy in a Truck, we're proud to help our Somonauk neighbors keep their homes feeling fresh and comfortable with friendly, thorough residential carpet cleaning.


Whether it's a well-loved living room, a busy hallway, or carpet that hasn't had a deep cleaning in a while, we're happy to help. Our truck-mounted cleaning system works to lift embedded dirt and buildup that regular vacuuming leaves behind. We take the time to understand your concerns, pay attention to problem areas, and give your carpet the care it deserves.


And the best part? We're not just a cleaning company that serves Somonauk. We're based right here in town! As a small, family-run business, we believe in showing up with a smile, treating your home with respect, and keeping things straightforward from start to finish.

Our Carpet Cleaning Process

  • 1: Walk-Thru

    We do this with every customer to address any areas of concern, take measurements, determine the best cleaning process for the carpet and set clear expectations of results prior to cleaning. (A black light will also be used to identify pet areas to be treated.)

  • 2: Prep & Protection

    We use floor/corner protection & our Orange Seal-A-Door covering as needed.

  • 3: Vacuum

    We will vacuum using our HEPA vacuum so dust and any harmful particulates do not become airborne. This is also done to lift the pile of the carpet to prepare it for pre-spray and cleaning.

  • 4: Pre-Spray

    We use a pre-spray to break down any soiling or sticky substances left behind by spills or foot traffic that were not removed with vacuuming.

  • 5: Scrubbing

    We use a Counter Rotating Brush Machine (CRB) to work in the pre-spray, lift the carpet pile and pull out deeply embedded soil from the backing of the carpet. This step helps to restore the original look and feel of your carpet pile.

  • 6: Cleaning

    We clean using a truck mounted Hot Water Extraction System (commonly referred to as "steam cleaning") and specialty cleaning tools along with cleaning agents designed specifically for your carpet type.

  • 7: Carpet Protector (Optional)

    This is an optional add-on. A protector like Scotchgard is applied to the carpet after the cleaning. This application helps protect the carpet fibers from wear, staining and can actually improve your vacuuming efficiency. Your carpet will look great and last longer!


    This application (on wall-to-wall installed carpet only) also includes a 12-month Spot & Spill Warranty. For more information, check the FAQ section below.

  • 8: Grooming

    As needed, we will rake through the carpet to lift the pile and help the carpet to dry more evenly.

Extra Care for Your Home's Carpeting

Your carpet sees a little bit of everything. Muddy boots after a rainy day, pets tracking in dirt, and all the little messes that come with everyday life. Over time, that buildup can leave even your favorite rooms looking a little tired. At A Guy in a Truck, we help our Somonauk neighbors give their carpet the attention it deserves.


Here's how a thorough deep cleaning can make a difference:


  • Say Goodbye to Built-Up Dirt. Regular vacuuming does a great job with surface debris, but some dirt settles deeper into carpet fibers. Our truck-mounted cleaning system helps lift that buildup away for a more thorough clean.
  • Give Your Favorite Rooms Some TLC. From the living room where everyone gathers to the hallway that gets walked through a hundred times a day, we help refresh the spaces that see the most activity.
  • Take Care of Everyday Messes. Spills, muddy footprints, and pet accidents happen! We'll take a closer look at those troublesome spots and do our best to improve them with the right cleaning approach.
  • Help Keep Your Carpet in Good Shape. Dirt and grit can gradually wear down carpet fibers. Routine deep cleaning helps remove that abrasive buildup, making it an important part of caring for your flooring.
  • Enjoy That Freshly Cleaned Feeling. There's something satisfying about walking into a room with clean carpet. Whether you're having family over or simply relaxing at home, a little refresh can make your space feel more welcoming.


We know every Somonauk home is different, and that's why we take the time to understand what your carpet needs. Whether it's been a while since your last cleaning or you just want to stay on top of regular maintenance, we're happy to help.

Somonauk Residential Carpet Cleaning FAQs

Got questions about our Somonauk carpet cleaning services? We've got answers! Find quick solutions to common questions about our services, policies, and more.

  • How Do I Prepare for My Carpet Cleaning?

    Pick up small items from the floor, do a quick vacuum if you have time, and make sure there's parking near your front door for our hoses. We handle everything else.

  • How Long Will It Take My Carpet to Dry?

    Most carpets dry in 6–12 hours. Running fans or your HVAC on fan-only speeds things up considerably. Thick or high-pile carpet will run longer than standard cut-pile.

  • When Can I Walk on the Carpet and Move My Furniture Back?

    You can walk on it right away in clean socks. Wait 24 hours before moving heavy furniture back. During Somonauk's humid summers, give it the full window to avoid moisture under legs.

  • What Should I Use to Clean Carpet Spots and Spills?

    Blot (never rub), then apply a mix of one teaspoon dish soap and one cup cold water. Blot again, rinse, and blot dry. Skip store-bought foam sprays since they leave residue that attracts more dirt. If a spot keeps coming back, it's likely wicking from the pad and is covered under our 30-Day Guarantee.
