Residential Carpet Cleaning near Oswego, IL

We Deep Clean Your Residential Carpet

At A Guy In A Truck, we help Oswego homeowners refresh their living spaces with thorough, no-nonsense residential carpet cleaning. Dirt, pet messes, and stubborn stains don’t stand a chance once we get to work. Our goal is simple: cleaner, softer, more inviting carpets that make your home feel just the way it should.


We use a powerful truck-mounted system designed to lift out the deep-down buildup that regular vacuums miss. Our process reaches all the way to the carpet backing, removing hidden dust and debris. The difference is easy to feel—cleaner air, brighter rooms, and a space that’s more comfortable to live in.



As a family-run business, your comfort and trust mean everything to us. We show up when we say we will, treat your home with care, and keep communication straightforward. We stay focused on the rooms you’ve asked us to clean, and always check in before entering any other areas.

Our Residential 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.

Benefits of Our Residential Carpet Cleaning

​​After a professional carpet cleaning, your home feels fresher, more inviting, and your floors look revived. At A Guy In A Truck, we deliver results you can see, smell, and feel—right away.



Here’s what our service brings to your home:

  • Cleaner Indoor Air: Carpet traps dust, pet dander, and other particles that affect the way your home feels. Our deep-cleaning process removes that buildup for a fresher, more breathable space.

  • Stronger Carpet Fibers: By lifting out embedded grit and debris, we help preserve your carpet’s structure and extend its life—preventing premature wear and matting.

  • Fresher Smell: We don’t just mask odors—we eliminate them at the source. The result is carpet that not only looks better but smells noticeably cleaner.

  • Brighter Appearance: Removing dirt and buildup allows your carpet’s true color and texture to shine through, making rooms feel lighter and more vibrant.

  • Improved Comfort: Clean carpet feels softer underfoot and makes every room more enjoyable—whether you’re entertaining guests or just relaxing at home.

We offer flexible scheduling to fit your routine and can customize our service based on your carpet’s specific condition and needs.
