What We Clean

Three services. One owner who does the work.

Carpet dry cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and commercial maintenance programs — the same three services from Tim’s own print materials, each explained in full below.

Carpet Dry Cleaning

Top Hat specializes in low-moisture liquid dry cleaning — it is Tim’s stated method and his real differentiator versus most of the competition in Southeastern Wisconsin, and it is the right call for the large majority of jobs. Petroleum and organic soils track in on shoes every day and work into the carpet fiber; the liquid dry cleaning solution strips and encapsulates it, leaving carpet residue-free and less likely to re-soil. For traffic patterns and entryways where that soil is ground in deep, Tim follows with a targeted acid-rinse and hot or cool water extraction pass — the same two-step process he runs on commercial jobs, matched to what the carpet actually needs.

  • Liquid dry cleaning handles most jobs — walkable again in 1–2 hours, not the day-plus dry time steam cleaning leaves behind.
  • Deeply embedded traffic patterns and entryways get a targeted acid-rinse and hot or cool water extraction pass.
  • Low moisture means less risk of stains wicking back up once the carpet dries, and no residue left to re-attract soil.
  • Free estimates, and no hidden fees added once Tim is on site.

02 — UPHOLSTERY

Upholstery Cleaning

Couches, sectionals, accent chairs, and dining seats cleaned with the method matched to the fabric on hand — so nothing shrinks, bleeds color, or comes back stiff and crunchy.

  • Delicate fabrics like velvet and vintage upholstery handled with extra care.
  • Wood frames and joints protected — no over-saturating that loosens glue or warps wood.
  • Ground-in dirt and body oils lifted from arms and seat cushions, the highest-wear spots.
  • Free estimates, and no hidden fees.

03 — COMMERCIAL

Commercial Maintenance Programs

Offices, entertainment venues, and other high-traffic commercial spaces get a maintenance schedule built around their hours, not a one-off appointment that disrupts business.

  • Scheduled visits keep patterned and high-traffic commercial carpet looking presentable year round.
  • Work planned around business hours — before open, after close, or during slow windows.
  • Same owner-led attention as residential jobs — Tim personally quotes and oversees the work.
  • Free estimates, quoted for your square footage and traffic.

Entryway & Arcade Floor

Oils were ground deep enough into this pattern that hot water extraction was the right call here, not the usual dry cleaning — a full-color restore, not a surface sweep.
