Apartment & Rental Turnover Carpet Cleaning
Olsen Restoration Carpet Cleaning Services cleans vacant-unit / make-ready carpet for apartment and rental turnovers across King, Snohomish, Skagit & Pierce counties. We are based in Lake Stevens, WA. This page is for property managers, landlords, and ownership groups who need living-unit carpet on a lease calendar — not corridor-only multifamily programs and not a residential Saturday special. Request a Facility Assessment or call 425-419-9949 with unit count, turn windows, and condition photos.
Short answer: unit-turn carpet on a make-ready clock
Yes — we clean vacant apartment and rental unit carpet for turnovers and make-readies when access and logistics allow. Lease calendars do not wait for carpet to “air out,” so intake starts with what you can send: how many units this cycle, preferred dates, lockbox or key rules, and photos of soil, pets, or worn paths. That is how we schedule — not with a published per-door rate card or a same-day turn guarantee online.
Corridor, lobby, and amenity carpet programs are covered on our commercial multifamily carpet cleaning page. Many communities need both; we scope unit turns and common areas separately. Next step: Facility Assessment or 425-419-9949.
If a move-out cleaner already walked the unit and the carpet still looks tired for showings, that is a common reason PMs call a carpet specialist. We focus on fiber, soil load, and access — not a whole-unit package that buries carpet in a checklist. Be candid about pet history and prior flooding; surprises on turn day are what push calendars.
What this page covers (and what it is not)
In scope: vacant living-space carpet inside apartments, rentals, and similar private units on a turnover calendar — including light HOA or condo unit turns where the unit (not just the hall) needs carpet work.
Out of scope as a primary offer: full make-ready GC (paint, punch lists, appliance detailing) and miracle “every stain / every odor gone” promises.
Unit turn vs corridor program vs residential city page
- Unit turn — vacant living-unit carpet between tenants on a notice-to-vacate / lease-start clock.
- Multifamily commercial — shared corridor and common-area carpet programs.
- City service-area pages — residential homeowners booking a home clean.
Built for PMs and landlords (intake that actually schedules)
Send what you already have on the turn board:
- Property and unit addresses
- Unit count this cycle (even a rough range helps)
- Preferred turn windows and any quiet-hours for occupied neighbors
- Lockbox, key, or fob access rules
- Carpet condition notes — pets, heavy soil, prior water if known — plus photos
Multi-unit cycles can be batched when access lines up. Call 425-419-9949 (open 24 hours, 7 days a week) or use the contact form for a Facility Assessment. Coverage: King · Snohomish · Skagit · Pierce from Lake Stevens.
Methods & reopen honesty (no fake dry-time chart)
Method follows soil load, fiber, and how soon the unit must reopen — discussed qualitatively on assessment, not as a universal hour chart:
- Restorative extraction when turnover appearance and soil call for a deeper clean.
- Low-moisture options (including encapsulation / CRB where commercial construction and schedule fit) when that better matches the turn window — see methods context on commercial carpet cleaning.
Drying depends on method, fiber, HVAC, and weather. Pet soil and odor: we aim for honest improvement for showings and lease-start; we do not promise permanent odor removal on every unit. Point out problem spots in your photos.
For properties that also run recurring corridor programs, keep those on the multifamily track and use this page for vacant-unit spikes. Office suites and TI-style spaces that turn more like offices belong on the office commercial page. The goal is the right vertical for the hire query — apartment turnover carpet cleaning Seattle / make-ready unit carpet — without cloning corridor copy.
Hard floors in the same turn (commercial-only tile)
Some communities also need hard floors in unit baths or kitchens on the same make-ready. Tile and grout cleaning is commercial-only — we do not offer residential tile and grout. For commercial accounts, see commercial tile and grout cleaning and, when VCT is in scope, commercial VCT strip & wax. Ask during Facility Assessment if hard floors share the turn window with carpet.
How to think about cost without a fake per-unit card
Drivers include unit count, carpet condition and soil, stairs and access, method, whether commercial hard floors are in scope, and after-hours needs. Scope and schedule are confirmed on Facility Assessment. Call 425-419-9949 or request a Facility Assessment.

Apartment turnover carpet cleaning FAQ
Do you clean carpet for apartment turnovers and make-readies?
Yes. Vacant-unit / make-ready carpet for apartment and rental turns across King, Snohomish, Skagit & Pierce, when access and logistics allow. Share unit count, windows, access, and photos for a Facility Assessment. Call 425-419-9949.
Is this the same as your multifamily corridor service?
No. This page is vacant living-unit carpet between tenants. Multifamily commercial programs focus on corridors, lobbies, and amenities. Many properties need both — scoped separately.
What should a property manager send before scheduling?
Addresses, unit count this cycle, preferred turn dates, lockbox/key/access notes, and carpet condition photos (pets, heavy soil, prior issues). Facility Assessment first; then scheduled work when access is clear.
Do you clean residential tile and grout inside apartment units?
No. Tile and grout cleaning is commercial-only. Residential tile is not offered. Ask about commercial tile for commercial accounts when hard floors are in the same facility scope.
Will every stain look new after a turnover clean?
No. Results depend on fiber, soil, and existing wear. Cleaning improves appearance for make-ready; it does not reverse every permanent stain or worn path. Flag problem spots when you request assessment.
Do you invent per-unit prices or same-day turn guarantees online?
No. Cost and calendar depend on scope, condition, and access. Request a Facility Assessment or call 425-419-9949 (open 24 hours, 7 days a week).
