Blinds and drapery cleaning in Tillicum, WA

A lakeside neighborhood of older homes and rentals bordering JBLM, with a lot of turnover. North-facing windows in Tillicum collect mildew and dust on drapes and blinds all winter, and most people assume replacement is the only option. A customer who had six window blinds cleaned during a carpet visit mentioned it in her review for that reason. That is a typical week for us in and around Tillicum.

A padded window seat cushion covered in cat hair and sun-faded on top was cleaned; the hair and the grime came out, the fading did not, and we said so. We hear a version of this from Tillicum every few weeks.

Locally owned, not a franchise

The national carpet-cleaning brands you see advertised around Pierce County are franchise territories run on a script: a low advertised price, a list of add-ons once the truck is parked, and a technician measured on ticket size. We run 3 vans out of a yard in South Park and a laundromat in Tukwila, and every review we have was earned one Tillicum living room at a time. Local ownership is not a slogan on this site; it is why the phone gets answered on a Sunday.
