Our Story
Hello! We're Jon and Val Erickson, the proud owners of Ultimate Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning.
​
Since 1991, we’ve cleaned thousands of carpets and pieces of furniture across all types, fabrics, and conditions. With over three decades of hands-on experience, we've developed a deep respect for carpet cleaning as a skilled craft, not just a service.
​
Education and ongoing training are central to our work. We believe in staying current with the latest industry techniques and innovations, while also honoring the proven methods that have stood the test of time. Our commitment to learning extends to our team: every employee is personally trained by Jon to ensure they master not only cleaning and chemistry, but also customer care.
​
We believe in doing business with integrity. That means no hidden fees, no gimmicks; just honest, high-quality work delivered with professionalism and pride. We’re passionate about what we do, and we treat every space with the same care and attention we would give our own.
​
The people doing the cleaning are key to the outcome, which is why we never send untrained or inexperienced staff into the field. Our team is extensively trained and dedicated to delivering personalized service tailored to your needs and budget. We use every effective method available to achieve the best possible results.
​
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a service, feel free to reach out. Jon or Val would be happy to talk with you directly at 651-221-0747.
