Your carpets work hard in Highwood, especially with the lake-bluff humidity that settles into those charming pre-war bungalows and older apartment buildings throughout town. Downtown Highwood's tight urban spaces mean your floors see plenty of foot traffic and moisture year-round, which is exactly why professional cleaning matters. We know how to handle the unique challenges these vintage homes present, restoring your carpets to their best without the harsh chemicals or excessive water that can damage delicate fibers. Call us at (847) 951-9636 to schedule your cleaning, and we'll also take great care of your neighbors in the surrounding communities.
We answer the phone.
Getting your carpet cleaned does more than refresh the look. Done right, it removes the allergens that vacuuming can't reach. Even with regular vacuuming, hidden contaminants linger in the fibers, compromising indoor air quality and causing sneezing, coughing, and itching for your household.
Our job is to remove everything that shouldn't be there. We don't rush the job, we don't push upgrades you don't need, and we don't leave your carpet soaking wet for days. Family-owned, no franchise, no subcontractors. Just our crew, our truck-mounted equipment, and the level of care we'd extend to our own carpets.
If you're in one of those classic pre-war bungalows near Fort Sheridan, you know how the lake-bluff humidity can get into everything, especially older carpet and rugs. That moisture sits in the fibers longer than most folks realize, which is why waiting until you see a stain to call a cleaner usually means the damage is already set in. A good cleaning twice a year keeps those floors fresher and actually extends their life. Call (847) 951-9636 to get on a schedule that works with Highwood's climate, not against it.

The benefit of using a professional Highwood carpet cleaning company is access to professional-grade equipment and cleaning solutions. Two things make the difference:
You can tackle the job with a rental machine, but we can't promise you'll achieve the same professional result. DIY rentals often cause damage to walls, baseboards, and the carpet.
We handle just about everything. Most jobs take 1–4 hours of cleaning, with carpet drying inside 6–8 hours after we leave.
Corner guards on the walls, neoprene mats on your floors, a door guard to keep bugs out and indoor air stable while we work.
Professional-grade HEPA vacuum extracts dry soil and reduces airborne allergens — including the spots vacuuming usually misses, like baseboard crevices and door jambs.
The whole carpet gets pre-treated, with extra attention paid to spots and high-use zones.
Coffee, ink, makeup, mystery stains — anything specific gets a targeted pre-spot treatment before we move on.
Our Counter Rotating Brush breaks down embedded dirt and prepares the carpet for steam cleaning. This is what actually saves a tired carpet.
Truck-mounted steam with fresh softened water for deep cleaning that ends with a soft, dry carpet — typically dry inside eight hours.
A light deodorizer goes down. Not perfume — just the smell of clean.
We carefully groom the carpet, which speeds drying and keeps the pile sitting right.
Factory ScotchGard protector can be added as an option — just ask us. Think of it like wax for your car: spills sit on top, soil comes up easier with regular vacuuming. Includes a 1-Year Spot & Spill warranty against common household spills, including pet messes.
Turbo air movers go down on treated areas to drop dry times even further.
We recommend clearing as much as possible — personal items, lighter furniture — before we arrive. We move heavier furniture for a small per-item charge. Pianos, china cabinets, entertainment centers, and antiques stay where they are. Once air movers are running, plan on 6–8 hours before walking on carpet (longer in heavily-trafficked or extra-treated areas) so you don't undo the work.
Our methods are customized to protect any home environment. Cleaning solutions are family- and pet-safe. Once the carpet is dry, you can use your carpet again. No waiting period, no aired-out chemical smell, no avoiding a room.
We use corner guards to protect your walls and furniture sliders for secure, damage-free repositioning. Sealing keeps household pets contained and blocks bad weather while we work, so your home stays at ease throughout the job.
You can hire any company in Lake County to point a wand at your carpet. What you can't always hire is a team that actually cares whether the job is done right. We're family-owned with no franchise model and no subcontractors. Just a small crew that's been providing this service throughout Lake County for over a decade.
Whether you need a regular annual cleaning, a deep clean after a pet or kid disaster, or a move-out restoration, Supreme Cleaning has the right approach for it. And if you're not satisfied with the result, Paul personally reviews the cleaning. We re-clean and get it done properly.

Living in Highwood means cherishing homes with real character, from the pre-war bungalows dotting the Fort Sheridan area to the charming apartments above downtown storefronts. Those older floors tell your home's story, but they also absorb moisture from the lake-bluff humidity that comes with living this close to the water. Carpet in tight urban spaces can trap dampness and odors that regular vacuuming just won't touch. Professional carpet cleaning keeps your flooring fresh and extends its life, protecting both the investment in your home and the air your family breathes indoors. Whether you're in the Moraine Township area or steps from the Highwood Metra station, quality carpet care matters when your living space is compact and every square foot counts. We're conveniently located at our Lake Villa office on Balsam Ave, making it easy for Highwood residents to reach us at (847) 951-9636 whenever you're ready to refresh your carpets.
