Glenn and Tom are professional, very efficient, and kind. They were very knowledgeable about the rug type I had, and gave me tips on how to make their cleaning last longer, and how to take better care of it. They even gave me tips on how to get my Siberian Husky's hair up easier! I was very satisfied with their services, and look forward to hiring them again. read more

The gents from A-Abace are super professional and genuinely nice guys. We had a recently purchased 4-level townhouse that the existing white carpets (which were also wool-requiring extra care). A-Abace didn't make a big issue with the added hassle of lots of stairs. Their work was excellent, their pricing was extremely fair. We will use them again for sure. read more

I scheduled a rug cleaning with Glen on two separate occasions and he did not show up on either occasion. When I called he was actually rude about it. The first time he called back later and said they made a scheduling error. I decided to try again. He didn't show up again and when i called said he would not have told me he would come and not show up. The first time he also had an attitude, sounding like it was my fault though he later admitted it wasn't. They may be good at cleaning rugs but they have to be able to show up at the appointed time as a first step! Frustrated! read more

Pros: - Very professional and personable - Does business the right way! An old school, honest guy - Did NOT charge for transportation or service (totally unexpected) The company typically charges a $45 transportation fee and a service fee. They didn't charge me either, because weren't able to get my stain out (to no fault of their own; the stain had set already, and they tried everything to fix it). The owner, Glen, kindly said put the money towards a carpet patch I was initially stunned. After he left, it didn't sit right with me that I let such a good human being and business go without even a tip. I strongly believe in complimenting and rewarding people for jobs well done. I was fortunately able to chase after him and do the right thing, in turn I really appreciate Glen's honesty, integrity, and the way he does business. This is a true family business; before Glen, it was owned by his relative. You don't find many businesses or people like this anymore. I would recommend their business to anyone. They will be honest and do right by you and your home read more

Glenn and Tom made our couches look like new for an astoundingly reasonable price which was exactly what I was quoted beforehand. With two small kids, two cats, and a 100 pound dog, I wasn't too hopeful that the accumulated stains and pet hair on our beige sofa and loveseat would be remedied by a deep clean. Boy did they prove me wrong! Their technique left them looking brand new and smelling super fresh. They also cleaned a throw rug for us and Glenn was totally honest about one stain that he didn't think they'd be able to get out. He was right that it wasn't possible to completely remove it but they did a great job and I really appreciate the transparency. Will definitely use them again in the future as they were not only great at their craft but super sweet, personable guys. FYI - they don't take cards so have cash on hand. read more

Disappointing that they wouldn't even try to clean my couches. When I described them as "canvas-y" he said they don't clean that type of couch. He also suggested I dry clean it. Dry clean my sofa & love seat? They only cost me $700 seven years ago! I guess they have had experienes where the color comes out. Not sure how they clean things, but I've attempted steam cleaning and I've spot cleaned. Nothing has taken the color out. Honestly, nothing they could do could make the couch look worse. I appreciate the honesty, but I would have liked the warning to come with the option for me to proceed or not. So, I'm going to have Stanley Steemer come out. I'd always rather support the little guy than go to a chain, but sometimes the little guy doesn't want my business I guess. read more

If I could give these guys 10 stars I could. We have been using them for years to clean our couch and carpets yearly and they always do an incredible job. We are currently newly renting and when we moved in the landlord insisted he had the carpets cleaned twice but there were still some stains. It is a wool carpet and it was driving me crazy. Glen and Tom came over and did their thing and now the carpet looks like new.. They not only use the machines but also get on their hands and knees and scrub the carpets. They are so friendly and professional and I cannot say enough nice things about them. I recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Owner personally came to my house to clean some vintage couches. They were helpful, friendly, and did a great job without any chemical smell or residue. I'd definitely use them again as needed read more

I've used this company to clean upholstery in my home. Glen, the owner came and gave me an estimate and I had a coupon so I got a great deal. The service was perfect from the technicians arriving promptly and taking good care of my furniture to the final result, clean and fresh furniture. My mother recommended this company to me. She used them for washing walls after a lightening strike caused an electrical surge that left smoke and carbon damage on one wall and ceiling. We thought we would have to paint the wall after cleaning but A-Abace did such a great job no painting was needed. She also had fabric upholstery cleaned and was very happy with the service. read more

Glenn and Tom did a fantastic job deep cleaning & sanitizing a pre-owned couch that I purchased. All of the stains were completely removed and they assured me that there was no bacteria on any of the surfaces. Couch looks brand new! They were on time, pleasant, and did wonderful work. Would absolutely recommend for your upholstery cleaning needs. Thanks A-Abace! read more

I literally just called to get an estimate for 3 rooms and a couch and am still flabbergasted.... Things went well with the guy explaining pricing ($0.45 per sq ft) and getting general info. He asked if it was a house. No, it's an apartment. What floor was I on? Second floor. Are there elevators? No, it's a walk up... Sorry we can't help you. Our equipment is too heavy to go to the second floor... Wait... WHAT!?! So.... If this was a house you would only do the first floor...? He sounded like he didn't even want to be there. Unprofessional... read more

Glenn and Tom are EXCELLENT and my wife and I recommend them highly without any reservation. These brothers are old school -- honest, competent at their craft and offer true customer service. Needing our home's 58 stairs and 350sf bedroom/closet cleaned, Glenn explained the cleaning method. Based on the results their using shampoo, scrubbing and water extraction made everything look almost like new. Their method was far better and definitely superior to just steam cleaning which, we learned, does not do well on wool carpets. Glenn took my phone call, asked the right questions to understand our needs and gave a quote over the phone. After confirming the appointment in detail, Glenn and Tom arrived 10 minutes early, put their booties on, told us what they would be doing, moved some furniture in the bedroom checked in half way through and, when finished, asked us to look at the cleaned carpets. They were beautiful -- not only the carpets but Glenn and Tom too. Happy to offer this 5 Star review to let others needing carpet cleaning call them too. They are the BEST! read more

These guys were quick and did a fantastic job cleaning an area rug in my house. Super friendly . Highly recommend !!! read more

A-Abace Cleaning Services - Carpet Cleaning Near Me

I hired A-Abace after hearing about them from a friend of mine. I had an area rug that I use in my real estate business that had been urinated on by an animal. I didn't realize this until I went to the property and boy did it stink! I asked a friend if she had a good recommendation and she raved about these guys. I hired them to clean the area rug, and to come to my own home and clean my two carpeted bedrooms and my sofa. I have pets too so I needed a big refresh. They were fast, courteous, prompt, easy to talk to, and so personable. Their business should be called "Good Guys Cleaning Services". They are so sweet and helpful. They left me with extra rags that had been pretreated with odor remover so that I could spot clean after they left. I would absolutely recommend them to my friends and clients in real estate. I was thrilled to have found a reliable source for upholstery and carpet cleaning! read more

Excellent service, would absolutely use again if/ when i need my rugs or furniture cleaned. Thanks!

These guys promptly gave me a quote and scheduled my appointment only two days later. Very friendly, thoroughly cleaned the wall-to-wall carpeting in my room, and were in and out in under two hours. Would definitely use their services again. read more

So thrilled with our service! Off-white furniture and toddlers trapped at home during a pandemic don't mix that well, but A-Abace came out and saved our furniture. 100% sharing their info with family and friends! read more

Glenn and Tom are brothers that own this business. So professional and friendly they were a joy to have in my home. My couch and area rug look great again. I'd absolutely recommend them. read more

Glenn and Tom were promt, polite, and professional. They gave me a discount for my first time rug cleaning, and were done in half the time they said. I recommend no one else. I'm excited to ask for their services again to clean my couch. read more

Fast and efficient and very professional! These guys came out the day I called them, highly recommend!

Glen and Tom are efficient, friendly and effective. I first used them to clean the carpet in my parents home on the far south side about 10 years ago. They cleaned the carpet beautifully in that home on two occasions. They also very effectively cleaned sofa's and stair runners in my home a couple of times more recently. Thank you! read more

I received a full refund after the owner read my initial review. As I disagree that I should have been refunded my money, their check will go uncashed. Still, the integrity of the owner cannot be matched considering the refund was unsolicited. read more

These guys do a great job cleaning, but beware if something goes wrong. Glenn and his brother cleaned my sectional sofa and 4 chairs last week. They were prompt and professional and it took just under an hour as it was just a general cleaning (no actual stains). About an hour after they left, I went into the kitchen and saw a strange film on my faucet, which has a flat surface pull out arm. I had purposely moved the faucet out of the way so they would have room for their bucket, but apparently, they wiped the faucet down with one of their cleaning cloths which has solvent on it. While I realize they were trying to be neat, it damaged the brushed nickel finish. I immediately left them a message and also called the faucet company as it has a life time warranty. i heard nothing from Glen for a full week, but was calling to tell him the manufacturer agreed (after some back and forth) to send a new faucet. Before I could even get the part about the replacement out, I get a slew of comments ("that couldn't have been anything we did, our products are green" "there must have been something wrong with the faucet, it wasn't us" "I wouldn't want a faucet you can't wipe down" and so on). Then, after I say it will be replaced, I get ("oh, great, well I'll make a note that we to be more careful, I'm so sorry that happened") Since they did not take any responsibility for the problem until after they knew it was fixed, I have no doubt i would have been SOL if the manufacturer hadn't been kind enough to replace it. So, 5 stars for cleaning and 0 for damage control related service. read more

We have an 8 year old microfiber couch that had never been cleaned, and we have two cats. We called A Abace based on reviews here. The first time I called I talked to Glenn, and he gave me a quote over the phone. We were just price checking at the time, and so we didn't book an appointment. The second time I called I talked to Glenn again. I didn't mention that I had called before, and Glenn quoted me the same price. I like that because I know he is not screwing around. Glenn showed up with another guy, and they got right to work on the couch. They pulled the couch out, and collected all the cat toys from under that sucker. They then washed down the entire exterior leather the couch, and started on the fabric. They put on little paper shoe coverings, laid down tarps, and used rubber gloves the entire time they were in my home. The cleaning was quick, and the price was exactly what was quoted over the phone. Glenn explained that all the products they use are green, and that they were safe for my animals, which was very important for me. When they were done the couch was clean as hell. All the stains from dropped food and liquid disappeared, and even the cat butt smell was gone. They were both really nice guys. We talked about cats, the Cubs, the summer, and I don't remember what else. We are going to get a new couch before we will need another cleaning, but the next time we need a couch, bed, or rug cleaned I will give them a call. read more

A couple months back I had a sofa delivered from Restoration Hardware. The delivery guys got the sofa dirty when moving it in so Restoration Hardware offered me the option of a 10% As-Is discount or having the whole sofa re-special ordered. Not wanting to risk having the same thing happen twice and figuring 10% off was pretty good for what seemed like a small upholstery cleaning job I opted for the former and called A-Abace. I also had them come to clean the seat of an upholstered dining room chair I'd feared was a goner. (I'd gotten bum advice from Ethan Allen who had told me to clean it with soap and water. Turned out to be a big mistake since it was solvent cleaning only.) The chair had a pretty noticeable water mark. These guys were awesome! They were able to schedule me for an appointment about 1 week after I called. They were true professionals. They wore booties into my home and put down a lot of mats to make sure they didn't ruin my rugs or floors then they set to work. I loved that they asked a lot of questions to make sure they used the appropriate mode of cleaning for both the sofa and couch cushion. They ended up dry cleaning both and it was a great experience. The couch looks perfect and the dining room chair is much, much better. Some of the stains are still subtly there because they said they were burnt into the fabric but the worst part (the water stain) is blended in. I also loved that they were polite and easy to talk to. I asked them if they could go over the stain on the dining room chair one more time and they were more than agreeable. They also seemed exceptionally knowledgeable and explained as they were going along what mode of care made the most sense for my furniture not just for the fabric but for the overall construction as well. They took into account things like the construction underneath including the material of the tufted buttons. (It never occurred to me that you have to be careful cleaning with water so they buttons don't rust but now I know it, it makes perfect sense.) Best of all their initial quote was affordable and they ended up charging me even less than what they quoted by almost half. They also didn't charge me any extra fees for being in a 3rd floor walk up like other upholstery cleaning places had done in the past, which I appreciated. Overall, I couldn't recommend these guys more highly. They truly treated my furniture with care and were personal and professional. read more

I scheduled an appointment to have my carpet and furniture cleaned a week in advance. After waiting 2 hours after my scheduled time, Glen and his brother arrived at my building and proceeded to get into an altercation with another resident. I won't go into all the gory details, but I will say that A-Abace elected to cancel my appointment due a conflict that I wasn't even involved in. I do not appreciate having my time wasted and I know that residents of my building do not like being threatened. I was very excited to work with them, but I will never use these guys again. I would give 0 stars if that was an option. read more

Well.... I called to have my carpet cleaned and they said they don't go that far. I'm like "you used to and you are the only people we trust to treat the pet stains." No dice. I feel a certain way about it since I am a returning customer. I thought it was weird. read more

To prepare for moving for the first time in 8 years, I've embarked upon the Great Purge of 2011. Included in the purge? Everything in my living room. A friend of mine is taking my sofa and chair off of my hands, and being the good friend that I am, I told her I'd get the couch cleaned for her. While I may be a good friend, I still didn't want to sink a lot of money in to cleaning a couch that I won't even own in 6 weeks. Enter Yelp and A-Abace Cleaning Services. For the low low price of $100 and about half an hour, my sofa looks like it is brand spankin' new! These guys were amazing. They showed up a little early but called to make sure I was home, and as we all know I am a fan of punctuality. They put shoe covers on before they came in, laid down plastic, and went to work on my couch. When I saw them hand scrubbing I thought, "we're going to be here a while" and turned my attention to the internets. Suddenly they were done and my couch was put back together looking great. So they do amazing work AND they work fast - WIN. He pointed out right away they couldn't get one stain out, but I knew that was MY fault - when I initially spilled I tried using OxyClean to get it out - bad move! DO NOT USE OXY CLEAN ON FURNITURE! It will bleach the fabric and leave you looking like a fool. *hangs head in shame* The guys were nice, courteous, and fun to talk to. We talked the economy, pets, my upcoming condo purchase, and he even asked me a lot of questions to make sure I was ready for home ownership - which made me smile because it is SO something my dad would have done. I can't recommend them enough, seriously. Two thumbs up. read more

These gentlemen came and did an outstaying job cleaning 2 chairs and a rug and two staircases. Very reasonable I'm price and excellent cleaning. Very professional. read more

Glen and his brother Tom are a delight! They are extremely conscientious of your home while working and very knowledgeable about their business. They also do not try to sell any service you don't need. read more

Professional and very knowledgable. Very easy to get a quote and schedule an appt. I had three pieces of furniture cleaned and the gentleman was on time, got right to work and give me some tips on keeping them in tip top shape after he left. These guys are cleaning craftsmen. A dying breed - apparently some of the only people who can dry clean furniture if you need that. I was very happy with the work. read more

I join the legions of other customers who found A-Abace timely, thorough and cost effective. I couldn't be home the day they were coming through so my room mate met up with them. They took care of everything, no variance from the estimate. They moved the furniture and got the backside (something frankly I wouldn't have even thought of). My sectional looks like it was just delivered -- I'm scared to sit on it because it looks showroom new! Also a white chair that someone had leaked a pen onto, and that someone else tried to clean (which meant I now had a water stain AND an ink stain) looks brand new. Great job guys -- great service, great attitude, great solution. I agree with some of the others; Glenn and Tom rock! read more

I had two couches that needed a good cleaning.....both had normal wear and tear plus some wine stains and other mystery spots.....so I called A-Abace. They gave me a quote over the phone (which was very reasonable) and an appointment for a couple of days later. True to their word they were right on time for the appointment....super nice and friendly......and got right down to business.....they were in and out in about an hour and a half! Later that evening I noticed that a couple of the spots were still there...so I called back and let Glenn know....I love that he didn't argue or question me.....just very nicely offered to come out the next day to take a look and see what else they needed to do. Again....on time for the appointment....and took care of the spots in less than an hour......and now my couches look fantastic....yay! I would def recommend this service.....they do dry upholstery cleaning.....which not a lot of places do anymore.....professional, knowledgeable and friendly service.....do appointments 7 days a week (yes even on Sundays).....and the price is right! read more

These brothers have been cleaning our carpeting and furniture annually for several years now (with a hiatus during COVID). They do a decent job, give you a cleaning rag for future messes, etc. The first time they came was when my (now 8-yr-old) daughter was very little and she wrote with permanent marker all over our white chair! They got it all out! Yay! The last time they came (maybe the Oct before COVID?), I asked if I should move any of the furniture for them or if I should vacuum before they came. They said, no, that's included. But then when they came, I checked the carpet before they left and they clearly hadn't moved anything (you could see the squares of unwashed carpeting) or even vacuumed the edges. There were crumbs and bits under very lightweight bedside stands and on the edges of the walls. They did go ahead and vacuum, claiming they had, but that they'd do it again, and then shampooed the carpeting under the (very lightweight!) furniture. Bc of this, I hesitated calling them again, but I figured... Loyalty. They've been doing our carpet and furniture for years. Today, I had an appt with them. They were struggling out of their car, so I was actually feeling bad for them that they're still working. I told them I'd saved a parking spot right in front of the house. I had them walk through the inside of the first floor instead of down the side gangway like I normally do (I thought it would be easier for them bc they are clearly getting up in years). Our carpeting is on the 3rd floor. Glen was confused bc the first floor is wood and when he got to the back patio, he muttered, "This is not normal." They walked up to our 2nd floor and Glen said, "We're not doing it. Where's the front staircase? This is a code violation. I've worked for the city." (Our second egress is on the side of the building. He probably didn't see it.) I was incredibly confused. He said, "We don't go this high." I said, "You've been doing this same house for years." He said he'd never done our house. I said, "Yes, you tell me every year that you have one son who's a police officer, another son who's a fireman, and you point out all of the things you think are code violations (the house was built in the 1890s or early 1900s) and tell me you've worked for the city." The brother immediately had a look on his face that said, yep, we must've been here. He muttered, "I'm 74, I'm not doing it." Then he claimed he'd only been to our house once before. Then they have walked down the back stairs. I said in disbelief, "You're really not cleaning it?" He asked his brother did he have all of their cleaning supplies and he angrily left, again claiming he'd only been here once. I did mention that he could check his records. They've been here many times. He told me the first time they came that they named it A-Abace so that it would be the first cleaning company in the phone book. And I've always felt bad for his brother, bc Glen is always so demeaning to him. What a weird and confusing morning! The brother looked very confused as well. I think Glen is just getting up there in age, but I do wish he'd told me that they just only do first level carpeting now that they're older, instead of being so aggressive. (I can't imagine I'm the only one with carpeting in my third level bedrooms.) I wish these guys well and I'm just chalking it up to a tough morning for them. read more

After two years of looking, we finally found an amazing sleeper sofa on Craigslist to replace our futon (just in time for 10 relatives coming in for Thanksgiving). But with all of the bedbug and germ-y horror stories out there in the last few years, we felt it would probably be smart to give some professional cleaning services a try...That way we could just be lounging in our own germs, instead of someone else's. Our inherited, cream-colored, overstuffed loveseat also needed a little love after 5 years and we figured why not give the mattress a once-over while we're at it, so we did a quick search for Chicago cleaning services on Google and saw some great reviews for A-Abace. I gave them a quick call on a Friday and was able to book a Sunday appointment with no problem. Glenn and Tom were really friendly, quick but also very thorough, getting into all the details of the couch cushions to scrub away those years of furniture neglect. When they were done with the couches, our CL purchase looked like it came right out of the factory and the old cream couch felt light and fluffy again (no more matted fabric in the wear-and-tear spaces). They also helped me put my new mattress cover on my freshly cleaned old mattress and left us with a treated spot towel to help make it through any holiday-party mishaps that may happen while my family is over. And these guys definitely know their stuff. We talked shop a little about what to do in some worst-case wine scenarios. We don't have pets (just yet) so I can't say for certain how soon we will need Glenn and Tom to stop by, but in the meantime, we will be highly recommending them to all of our friends. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job! read more

I have 3 cats. We made the mistake of putting a litter box under a table, on the corner of a nice rug. Lets just say the rug wasn't so nice anymore, and the cats made sure it stayed that way... =( I called A-Abace and they came out the next day, shampooed the entire thing, helped me turn it so that cat-corner would be under a couch, and I paid them in full. 2 days later, we could still smell it from under the couch (I don't blame them - 3 cats is a lot to fight!) So they willingly came out again, scrubbed and shampooed it once more, and the cats haven't done anything to it since. Whatever they use - it works. And it worked 100% for us!! read more

Yelp came through yet again for me on this one. I would highly recommend these guys and will use them in the future. Have a 6 year old room and board couch that had dark, very obvious food stains from apt living (ie using my couch as 3 seats for years of Friendsgivings). I called Glenn and not only was he quick with a response and estimate via phone, he was able to come in 2 days. He and his brother took an hour to clean the whole couch, and the couch stains I thought were irreparable have disappeared. An hour later, my ass is where it rightfully belongs - glued to the couch that now looks brand new. read more

My brother is moving to California and gave my wife and I a couple of very nice couches. The problem was they smelled, incredibly strongly, of their bulldog. Glenn and his brother came out and did a fantastic job cleaning, disinfecting, and making them smell really good. A few days later, we realized that there was still a very slight smell just in certain areas, such as the creases. One phone call later and they were offering to come back the very next day. They came and cleaned both couches again, in their entirety, free of charge. And they smell amazing! My wife and I can't thank them enough. read more

Affordable, quick, friendly. I called for a quote and they came in a couple days later and cleaned my couch post-cat pee. Now, not that I sniff a lot of pee, but cat pee has a very distinctive odor...distinctive and stubborn, this is no "stink" that some upholstery cleaner and Febreeze will take care of (as I've learned the hard way) so I was pleased as punch that these guys were able to get the smell out and in record time! read more
