Hands down an AMAZING company. From the customer service side of things to the actual cleaning of the upholstery it was professional, quick, and affordable. They had excellent communication from start to finish and were able to restore two chairs that were badly stained. They came back looking brand new with no stains or odor. I would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking they need to replace a furniture item because it cannot be saved. I don't know how they did it (because I tried myself); so thankful to have been referred to Pettyjohn's!!!!

Pettyjohn's removed a large red wine stain from our brand new sofa cushion. When we dropped off the cushion they thoroughly explained their cleaning and fabric protection process. They gave us the costs for the cleaning, the protective spray, and treating the rest of the sofa - very transparent and worth the cost. The work was done in the time frame that worked best for us. We felt like they went above and beyond to accommodate us.

We used Pettyjohn’s carpet cleaning service five years ago before placing our home for sale. Their attention to details, professional service, excellent cleaning techniques were impressive. Recently I had them tackle several rooms, hall and stairs. The carpet is a light color that showed the results of children, water damage, and a rust spot. Again, their knowledge and skill produced carpet we can enjoy for a few more years. Also, they give you a complete quote for services before they begin and this is what you pay when the job is completed. Thank you, Pettyjohn’s.

By far, five star service. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at Pettyjohn’s located in Wake Forest! From the front office to the gentleman who made my rug look brand new again. This is a very professional business with a team of courteous, helpful people. Well worth the fair cost for the rug cleaning. I wish I had a before and after picture to post. I would recommend their service to anyone. Lisa Staples

I researched quite a bit to find a place that could professionally clean my Oriental rugs. They were very dirty after years of wear and tear and I doubted they would ever get entirely clean, but I gave Pettyjohn’s a shot! They did not disappoint! They managed to bring the rugs back to their original beauty, which was no easy feat! The staff did a great job of explaining the process and it was quickly clear they take their job seriously. I would highly recommend Pettyjohn’s if you have rugs or furniture you truly care about and want to bring back to their original state of beauty!!

I had a great experience with Pettyjohn's. I purchased a vintage oriental carpet at an antique store and wanted it cleaned before I put it in my home. The store recommended Pettyjohn's for this type of rug.When I dropped the rug off, I had the opportunity to meet Robert, the owner. He is very charismatic and gave me a tour of the facility. I felt like I was on an elementary school field trip - it was great. He explained what each of the machines did and that they try to be as green as possible - there is a cistern to collect rain water! They not only clean rugs and carpets, but also sofa cushions and other upholstery items.My rug was ready before the original date they had provided. All of the people that work at Pettyjohn's are very friendly and professional. They seem to take a lot of pride in their work and their reputation. I would definitely use Pettyjohn's again the future.

Very helpful and transparent. I had a rug that was in bad shape and they told me that it would cost more to clean and repair than to replace.

I recently took my rug to get cleaned because after 7 years of use, it needed to be cleaned. Kids and dogs can do some damage. I picked the rug up today. It looks brand new. My wife couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend their services!

I appreciate Pettyjohn's great service and using environmental supportive techniques. They do so much more than just rugs! While working with a client I accidentally spilled oil on my jeans. I dropped off a small rug and mentioned my jeans and they gave me a product to try and IT WORKED! Anything needing cleaning - give them a try. Need a rug rebound or cut - try Pettyjohns. Need furniture cleaned - yep, I'm calling Pettyjohns!

Pettyjohns cleans our carpets annually. The cleaning yesterday was outstanding. The carpet looks as good as new. A coke stain is totally gone and the carpets dried in less than 2 hours. Outstanding work.

They are an EXTREMELY reliable company with an excellent staff. Robert, Amy and the rest of the staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. I recommend them to anyone who needs carpet or fabric cleaning!!!
