I highly recommend this family-owned local company. Greg came prepared to do the job I needed to have done. He gave me a fair price on the work. He did not try to up-sell me over every little thing. Greg takes pride in his equipment and his work. The equipment he uses is unique in that it allows him to actually see the rinse water coming up from the carpet. Greg kept steam cleaning until the rinse water in each section was clear. He spent the time that was required to clean my carpet and then to suction up as much water as possible from it. He even left fans with me overnight to aid in the drying process. I did not feel like Greg was on a tight schedule or in a hurry to get on to the next job. The carpet turned out great! And Greg is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. read more

Petersens is the only company I have used for years, actually over a decade. They are reliable, efficient, and effective. They arrive on time, if not early, and prepared. They respect the space and are carful to protect doorways and any furniture in the room. Every time Greg comes it's like a friend coming by to check in only when he leaves your house is clean. I was so happy the service did not change when Mr. Petersen retired. I highly recommend this company. read more

I highly recommend this carpet cleaning service. I've tried others and no one compares to the quality I get with Petersen's. Great experience and the carpet is soft, smells good, and super clean. I saw the evidence of all the dirt being lifted out in the machine. Super satisfying. I also had the arms of my sofa cleaned, which was also a great job. Friendly and personable service. 10 out of 10! read more

Greg was able to greatly improve our dirty stained carpet. Highly recommend. Prompt and friendly.

A straightforward frictionless experience. I simply called Petersens and Greg Kirby came out early the next day as I requested. He explained what he would do and got the job done in no time. There was no haggling over this and that, no bait and switch, and my sofas are super clean. Greg is an affable professional guy and I am happy to know of a business nearby which can get my upolstery cleaned quickly and thoroughly for a good price. read more

I'm always happy with the results and easy to schedule an appointment. Never an extra charge for spot treatment.

We've used Petersens several times. They are responsive, punctual, friendly, and their results are top notch. We for sure thought the room they cleaned today was beyond repair, but the results speak for themselves. We will definitely continue calling Petersens when we need carpet or upholstery cleaned! read more

They went out of their way with a Special pricing offer for our one rug- even though I offered to pay full price.... Did a fantastic job and will be calling them again for spring cleaning. Thank you! read more

This is one of the best carpet cleaning companies we have used.  Petersen's is very conscientious, friendly, dependable, honest & does an excellent cleaning! They even use corner guards, so the hoses don't ruin the wall outside corner edges.  From experience with other companies, we know it really makes a huge difference what equipment companies own & use. Petersen's uses a high-end , superior system called RotoSteam Extraction.   It is top quality & pure perfection!  It's unbelievable how it removes all dirt/grime/stains. Clean, clean, clean! You will not be disappointed with their professional care. read more

I was quite pleased from the beginning to end. I called and received a quote and made the appointment. They arrived on time and did an excellent job. The carpet looks like new and smells clean and fresh.The only caveat, is that the rugs were very wet. I will make sure in the future that my appointment is in the summer and request they vacuum more of the water. I have had other rug cleaners at a cheaper price and as they say "you get what you pay for". Update: the owner read my review and called me right away and brought me two fans to dry the carpeting. You have to love a family owned local business. Thank you. read more

I decided to get my rugs cleaned, as I now have young kids and there has been a lot of traffic on them. Petersens arrived on time and did such a great thorough job removing stains and bringing color back into my lackluster rugs. I asked about the product ingredients, as I like to keep it natural having young kids, and they use all natural cleaning ingredients, which I love. They also told me it's important to clean new rugs when you get them, to clean the harsh chemicals that come on rugs. I have this special hand woven African rug that looks so great and was cleaned so well but gentle. It looks like new again! read more

. Peterson's contacted me promptly and scheduled an appointment that fit perfectly with my schedule. They arrived on time and did a terrific job bringing my old wall to wall and area rugs back to life.

They even moved a couple of heavier furniture pieces for me. read more

I typically do not write Yelp reviews but we recently had such a positive experience with Petersen's Carpet Care that I felt the need to share. Needless to say after staying at home for almost two years during the pandemic, our rugs and furniture were in desperate need of a good cleaning. The staff at Petersen's Carpet Care went above and beyond. Not only did the rugs, couch and chair turn out GREAT, the staff were incredibly easy going and super friendly! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

Dave and Kevin were the best. They came on time (early, actually) and were speedy, efficient, thorough, and personable. The time went by so quickly as they were chatting away with me and each other. I felt totally comfortable having both of them roaming about my house. They moved all the furniture and put it back on plastic or styrofoam pads so it wouldn't bleed into the wet carpet. Dave even made sure that I was satisfied with the work by asking if there were any additional areas I wanted done or spaces that I might need an extra pass over. The next time my carpets need cleaning, I'm going to call them again. :) read more

1st class co! Amazing!!! Done in 2hrs! Wish I was that efficient :/ Can't say enough good things about Dave and Gregory! We need more people like them in the world. Cost super reasonable considering the state our carpets were in :/ think we might have underpaid them :// will be leaving a nice tip ;)) will definitely refer and recommend. Looking forward to using them again! I wish you much success for many years to come. Anybody that gives Petersen's carpet anything less than 5+ stars needs to look at themselves or get clarity before posting a negative review!! People must know this effects peoples' livelihood! Nobody and nothing can ever be perfect and expecting that is very short sighted and nothing less than cyber bullying! What goes around does come around. No matter how things look or is after a service, I rate on if they tried their best with the situation given. Was things left better than found? All we can do is try our best in life. Constructive criticisms always best!! read more

This is a long overdue review! Petersens carpet care was fast and efficient. The guys were great and I'll definitely use their services again. They showed me how much dirt was removed from our carpets and I couldn't believe it! Highly recommend them!! read more

After the recent rains, our garage guest room flooded. I called Petersens Carpet Care and they came right out. I had a great experience as Brittney & Greg were immensely helpful. They solved every issue we had from cleaning to future flood problems. All at a reasonable price. They are the best! read more

I have used Petersens twice now and am convinced that their quality is no fluke. On both occasions they showed up on time and did excellent work cleaning both carpets and furniture. Unlike the many other carpet companies I have used in the past who left my carpet soaking wet, Petersens takes the extra time to thoroughly remove any excess water. They also use a rotary scrubbing machine that really cleans the carpet well. They also claim to use organic detergents which is a plus. Petersens is not the cheapest guys out there, but you do get what you pay for. Exceptional quality and service. I am DONE with the cheap coupon guys and their poor quality and ethics forever. Call Petersens if you too are tired of the cheapo guys and expect more. read more

Petersens Carpet Care - Couch cushion during cleaning. Note the before and after areas. They did a super job and the couch was dry in about 1 hour. - Carpet Cleaning Near Me

Lori W. Dave and his crew from Petersens Carpet Care were fantastic. I contacted them to hopefully salvage saltillo tiles with aged white grout. Due to years of improper cleaning supplies used on them, I wasn't sure they could be saved. But, Dave managed to turn the gray grout white again with his years'of expertise in cleaning floors. From the time I called till the time they were finished cleaning the floors, I had nothing but professionalism from their staff. I highly recommend their services if you have soiled carpets, furniture, or tiles needing deep cleaning. Petersens Carpet Care are the ones to call. read more

A little mishap with the over the phone quote, and I am mentioning this just because is needed for the background story, but Dave handled the situation like a gentleman. Bellow is the e-mail exchange we had minutes after he finished the job. And what a wonderful job he did. Maybe I should mention Greg also, Dave's sidekick, a very polite young man that helped me move things around the house so I can make space for them to work. Great company, great work ethic, great people. I will also post pictures of two of the rugs they cleaned. We didn't think to take "before" pictures, but mind you that both rugs are over 40 years old. -----Original Message----- From: Viorela xxxxxx@gmail.com Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2011 1129:20 To: xxxxxxxxxxx59@msn.com Subject: 1st street job - excellent thank you pic attached Sent from my Incredible Verizon phone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 11:44 AM David Petersen xxxxxxxxxxx59@msn.com wrote: I am glad you were pleased!

Wow, apparently Yelpers don't get their carpets cleaned very often. A search on "carpet cleaning" in Long Beach only returned reviews of dive bars -- go figure. So I had to rely on the good old Yellow Pages (still a handy reference tool at times) to find some carpet cleaners. As usual, it's a bit of a shot in the dark, and I can't really say what about their ad made me pick this place above any others. I had had Chem Dry once, and while it was convenient for not being wet, I remember it couldn't get out a lot of stains that steam cleaning easily removed. I used Master last time, and they were pretty good, and very friendly, even sent a fancy thank you card afterwards and made me feel special, but I didn't like that once everything dried we found white powdery residue all over everything. So once again, I tried something new. The gentlemen from Petersen's showed up towards the end of the window of time they told me they'd be there, but once they were there they got the job done in a little over an hour, and the price was pretty reasonable (much cheaper than what I paid last time at Master). The quality was excellent - everything was very clean, dried in a reasonable amount of time, and there was no residue afterwards. I got my carpet cleaned as well as the upholstery on my sofa and a few chairs. It seemed to be a family-owned and operated business, as it was Mr. Petersen himself that came out to clean the carpet. I was pleased with the quality and the price overall, so I'll probably use Petersen's again, rather than continuing to shoot in the dark in the yellow pages. Come to find, it's not just Yelpers, but people in Long Beach in general that don't seem to get their carpets cleaned very often. The last two times I've gotten my carpets cleaned, my neighbors have shrieked OMG!!!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR APARTMENT?!?!? when they see the hoses and everything draped from my door. Relax, dudes, I assure them, I'm just getting my carpet cleaned, there's nothing wrong with the plumbing or anything. And then they get blank, confused stares on their faces. Personally, I recommend carpet cleaning from time to time, unless you're lucky and have hardwood floors. You can rent those things at the grocery store, but it's just not the same as a professional job in terms of quality, not to mention it's a lot easier and really not very expensive to call someone out to do it, at least not when you have a small apartment. Plus having to pick up everything off the floor for the cleaning forced us to throw a bunch of junk away because we didn't just want to put all that clutter back on our nice clean carpet. It's nice to start the new year clean! read more

After days of telling yourself: "I can clean it myself", nothing takes your mind off the white-flag of surrender like a Hollywood survival guide by Dave the carpet guy. It seems Sunset's sidewalk Sponge Bob demands cold hard cash if your kid snaps a picture of him. And the Nickelodeon terrorist doesn't respond well to: "get your mitts off my kid's shoulder or I'll tear your sponge-head off!" Anyone who stands for kid's rights against the corporate tyranny of the cartoon costumed industry can steam clean my floors anytime. +1 star for the very affordable fee Despite the added hallway I neglected to mention over the phone, (which could've easily provoked the ol' bait~&~switch) honest Dave charged e-x-a-c-t-l-y what he quoted the day before. read more

I was searching yelp for someone to come out and clean my couch. I have had it for 12 years and had never had it cleaned. Now that I had a super shedding dog I figured this was the perfect time to do so. I read Holly T's review and gave Petersen's a call. He had no problem coming over to clean a single sofa. He took great care to bring towels and clean up the water that dripped onto the hardwood floors. After the couch dried it looked like brand new! Well worth the cost of $69. If I had carpeting in my place I would definitely call on Petersen's. I highly recommend Petersen's Carpet Care and gave five stars for the friendly service, punctuality (I didn't have to wait all day for him to show up) AND he came out on a Sunday! Wow! read more

So I was very excited to get my couch cleaned. And had looked at several different companies. My boyfriend & I decided on Peterson's based on Reviews. Our couch is very worn- we knew this- but we wanted the dirt out of our couch. That's it. My boyfriend said they arrived and started out seemingly thorough. They had went over the first part of the sectional multiple times and made sure that any dark areas that remained were taken care of. After discovering that we were not their (peterson's cc) last stop for the day and after Dave received a call he continually checked his watch and instead of the multiple-pass deep-clean that they had started with, they continued with a "single pass" once-over over the remaining pieces and cushions. There was even a moment that when he switched off for his accomplice to start doing some cushions, and after they had did a few he had pointed out to Dave that the cushions looked different. Dave then replied "well if you don't go the same speed as me they're going to look different". This became clear to me that the issue wasn't so much the fabric of my couch, but rather how "in depth" they were doing their job in the cleaning process. Perhaps they were getting a bit fatigued towards the end of the day, but It seemed that the last bits of my couch were sort of half-assed. Now that isn't the worst part. That day my boyfriend had given them the benefit of the doubt and concluded that the discoloration was due to the cushions being wet and the lighting being different depending on location. However, the next day, after the couch was completely dry, the discoloration as well as additional stains that had not been completely clean had surfaced. When we called them to report these inconveniences, Dave assured us that he would come out later in the day to take care of it. When he finally did come out, we politely showed him the areas that were still bad. Now here's the kicker: instead of assuring us that he would fix it (and probably if he would have, he would have been done by the time I finish this scathing review), he instead spent his energy trying to convince us that our couch was just "worn" and the dark areas were in-fact, not dirt. However, we could blatantly see the difference between WORN areas of the couch and DIRTY areas. However, he was hell-bent on convincing us otherwise. And as a final F-You, instead of doing anything to fix it, he gets in his van and drives off into the sunset. So, as a recap, as well as a TL; DR: the guys show up and clean the first part of couch pretty decently and thoroughly. Then after being fatigued and (I'm assuming) they had to go to their last location they half-assed the second part. After getting him to come back the next day to fix the problem areas, he spent all his time and energy convincing us that it was actually clean before rage-quitting and driving away. read more

Check my Yelp history; I am a real person and this is a real review. Our carpet is extremely old and probably needs to be replaced. Although we regularly vacuum it, it has been covered in long-standing stains/blemishes/marks since I first moved into the place 2 years ago. I figured they were permanent, and accepted the reality we'd just have to live with it (renters). We called Petersen's as we wanted it cleaned more for sanitary purposes than cosmetic, as we truly didn't believe a carpet cleaner could get those marks out of such an old carpet. I kid you not... our old, beaten up, carpet looks brand new. Absolutely every stain, blemish, mark, is gone. I'm in shock. The entire carpet has changed color from darker brown to a light tan color?!?! I'm genuinely blown away (and pretty grossed out) by the results, and could not speak more highly of the job done by Dave and the heavy-duty equipment he uses. We paid $125 total for a large living room, a medium-sized bedroom and a small bedroom. I'd pay it again in a heartbeat. read more

I respect honesty and sincerity and this guy has 'em both. He quoted me $149 for two bedrooms and a sofa. When he came over, he asked me what he had quoted me. I thought I remembered him saying $169. He looked at me funny and pulled out his little notebook. He flipped through a few pages and said, "no, it was $149" That's cool. He did a good job with the carpet and sofa. The cleaning was worth every cent. I would definitely recommend Peterson's Carpet Care for their services. read more

I purchased a braided antique rug that needed to be cleaned. I needed to have professionals do it with care because it was vintage. I went to Petersen's carpet care and they did such a fantastic job cleaning my wool Braided rug. It turned out bright and beautiful. It looks so good in my house and I'm so grateful to Petersen's carpet care for bringing color back into my antique braided wool rug. read more

Moving out of my apartment was already a huge hassle, when my landlord told me the day before I moved out that it was MY responsibility to clean the carpets... My roommate found this company through yelp and they were able to squeeze us in the very next day! Besides being able to fit us in on such short notice, the people from this company are super nice. They deserve five stars for their costumer service alone. They quote you a flat rate, and that really is all you pay - no added on fees, no trying to upsell you, no funny business. In fact, when they showed up to my apartment and saw what they were working on, they dropped $50 bucks off the price!! I already was pleased with a flat rate of $199, but $149 is even nicer! Petersen's definitely made the whole process hassle-free. They are really nice guys who are happy to please their costumers and want you to be satisfied with what you get. I can't recommend this company enough; they deserve your business!! read more

I have an elderly dog - enough said. Several months ago, I mentioned to a neighbor of mine that I was tired of getting ripped off by the big national carpet cleaning chains ("Coit" springs directly to mind to some reason; perhaps it was their outlandish fee to simply arrive at my front door), but I really needed to get my carpet cleaned. To my surprise, she said that her brother owned a carpet cleaning company, and she gave me Petersen's number. I was a little concerned, especially when I called and I was quoted a price that was 50% less than Coit had charged me several months earlier (for one room only; the rest of the house has been Pergo-ed), and that he was available the next morning to do the work. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC RESULTS. And only charged me the exact quoted price - $75. I'm calling him again for a return visit. (And I promise to do a better job of pre-vacuuming this time.) I still have the same elderly dog, whose aim/ability to "hold it" has further deteriorated, but there is only so much one can do with a store-bought carpet cleaner. I have recommended Petersen's to several friends. read more

Had a great experience with Petersens the first time but I will no longer be using them. Could not believe the difference in service between the first and second visit. Not only is the carpet not as clean as I would have liked but one of the technicians was in my front yard on his cell phone having a full-on argument with someone...sounded like a wife or girlfriend. They also chipped paint off of a corner molding and wall. I had two different neighbors come over after they left to see where I could have found these guys. Extremely unprofessional. read more

Should have yelped this sooner but forgot !!! The guy, forgot his name sorry, arrived 20 min late!!! Talked way too much!!! Told me our carpets would be almost dry by the time he finished cleaning them!!! NOT!, they stayed damp enough for few hours, had to keep all windows open for the hole day so they would dry quicker, thank god we did it in the summer months! Our carpet was dirty but it's been 4 months now & looks like it did before cleaning!!! Never had this happen & it never really smelled clean or looked much better after he was done that day!!! He did explain his cleaning process at least 10 times & assured me nobody cleans carpets like he does!!! Anyhow, we would not recommend using this company again! You get what you pay for, kind of on the cheaper end!! read more
