    Nik and Alex are the best at what they do and are truly experts - I could not give a stronger recommendation or speak highly enough. They responded quickly and professionally, and managed to treat and restore a white couch that had a large red wine spill (twice), whereas other providers would not even attempt to treat it. Almost look forward to the next spill...

    Nik and Alex saved our couch! They were fast, efficient, and thorough. Our couch was ragged and stained, but once they were finished, it looked brand new again. I can't recommend their services enough and will turn to them for any future cleaning needs!

    I am so glad I contacted Alex. Fantastic job done with my couch, rug and basement carpets. Punctual, responsive and friendly. Alex took time to explain me everything knowing this was my first experience. Very professional and seamless service right from my first call to the end. Will always call them back when needed. Thank you!

    We hired Nick from Light to Dark and the service was amazing. He was presented with a custom designed sofa valued at approximately $10,000 complete with stains that were many years old. He was completely transparent and managed my expectations so there is no surprises. The end result was a completely restored sofa that almost looks like new again. Nick has secured my business for life. I strongly recommend you hire these guys are they take a lot of pride in what they do. John

    Had an awesome experience with From Dark To Light Carpet & Upholstery Care today. One of their guys came over to clean my beds and sofas and did a fantastic job. He showed up right on time, explained what he was doing, and answered all my questions about the machines and products he used. Super professional, easy to talk to, and the results were great — everything feels fresh and looks so much better. Definitely recommend these guys!

    Fantastic Service – Highly Recommended! We had our mattress and couch cleaned by Alex and Nik from From Dark To Light Carpet & Upholstery Care, and they did a great job! Both were professional, friendly, and took the time to make sure everything was spotless. The difference was amazing — our furniture looks and feels fresh again. The before and after results really say it all (photos attached). We’re super happy with the service and will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!

    Alex and Nik brought my blue velvet sectional back to life. They worked very hard to remove pet slobber (yuck) and dirt and my sectional has been returned to normal. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending them. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and prompt response.

FAQ

Area Rug Cleaning questions

Can you clean a Persian or wool rug?

Yes. We assess the fibres and dyes first, then use a gentle method suited to that rug.

Do you clean viscose (rayon) rugs?

Yes. Viscose is delicate and reacts badly to the wrong method, so we assess it carefully before cleaning.

Can you remove pet urine from a rug?

In most cases, yes. Enzyme treatment breaks down the uric acid crystals that cause the odour.

Do you clean rugs at my home?

Yes, we clean at your home across Toronto and the GTA. Call or text to book.
