The dachshund in the blue cap holding an extraction wand is on the van wrap and the crew jerseys. It is the company’s signboard on every street it parks on.
A family business with its name on the van
Spectrum Carpet Cleaning & Restoration is family owned and operated, and it has been cleaning Frederick’s floors since 1986. That is forty years of carpet, rugs and upholstery, run out of an office on Industry Lane, with the family’s name on the van.
Josh Lawson owns the company. Chris, Daniel, John and Rachel make up the crew you will deal with. When Noura Salman reviewed her white couch on Google, she named her rep: “JOHN HOPPER.” Customers remember the person who came to the door.
The mission is short and it has not changed. Spectrum exists to give customers a healthy indoor environment by removing many of the indoor contaminants: dirt, grime, odors and the irritants that trigger allergic reactions. A carpet that looks clean but holds grit and dander has not done that job.
The people who call are homeowners, realtors getting a listing ready, and businesses with floors that see traffic all day. The work is the same for all three: look first, tell you what the carpet or fabric can take, then clean it.
The crew’s own list, one line at a time
Spectrum names these as the reasons customers pick it. Here is what sits behind each one.
- Convenient hours
The office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and you can also send the form on the contact page any hour.
- Quality service
A walk-through before any wand touches the floor, a complimentary spotting bottle left behind, and an invoice that arrives with before-and-after photos.
- Competitive pricing
Estimates are given in the room, after the technician has seen the carpet, the rugs and the furniture, so the number matches what you actually own.
- Superior technology
Truck-mount hot-water extraction, Procyon Plus Powder as the cleaner, and solutions and equipment that meet Carpet and Rug Institute performance requirements.
- Full line of services
13 services under one roof, from wall-to-wall carpet and oriental rugs to tile, hardwood, ducts and dryer vents.
- 24 hour emergency services
Spectrum lists 24 Hour Emergency Services among the reasons customers choose it. Call (301) 662-8200 and say what happened.
- Trained technicians
Every technician who comes to the door is IICRC certified.
The full list of work is on the services page, and the visit preparation page walks through what happens on the day.
A healthy indoor environment.
Dirt, grime, odors and the irritants behind allergic reactions settle into carpet and upholstery long before they show. Taking them out is the job, and it is why the technicians carry extraction equipment on the truck instead of a quick wipe-down kit.
The truck-mount bay and the rooms it serves
The van opens up to the hoses that do the hot-water extraction, and the same crew carries the furniture and the rugs.
1986
The year Spectrum started cleaning carpet in Frederick. Forty years on, the company is still family owned and operated.
Certified technicians, approved solutions
Spectrum’s technicians are IICRC certified, the cleaning industry’s credential for people who work on carpet, upholstery and hard floors. The cleaning solutions and equipment carry the Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval, which recognises products that meet the Institute’s performance requirements.
The company is also an EPA Lead-Safe certified firm, a credential that applies to work in older homes.
