Carpet Cleaning in Uxbridge, MA, From the Couple Who Lives Here

Every corner of Uxbridge, from the common to the old mill villages

Uxbridge grew as a string of mill villages along the Blackstone, Mumford and West rivers, and we cover all of them: the homes around the town common and Main Street, Wheelockville and Hecla on the north side of the center, North Uxbridge along Route 122, Ironstone in the south end near the Rhode Island line, and the newer subdivisions off Route 146 and Route 16.

Antique capes, mill houses and new colonials under one zip code

Uxbridge has an unusually wide spread of housing for a town its size. Close to the center you find 18th and 19th century homes and former mill worker houses with steep, narrow staircases and small upstairs bedrooms where wall-to-wall carpet was laid over old pine boards. Those stairs collect dirt at the nose of every step, and the bedrooms tend to hold dust and allergens because the windows stay shut half the year. Stairs are $5 per step, and a standard bedroom up to 200 square feet starts at $55.

Out toward Route 146 and the south end, newer colonials and ranches bring larger living rooms, finished basements and big sectional sofas. Basements in this part of the Blackstone Valley can run damp in summer, and a basement carpet or couch can pick up a musty smell. Our low-moisture method puts less water into the fibers than soaking methods, which tends to mean a faster dry, and it is a sensible choice for a space that already fights humidity. Larger areas are priced at $0.35 to $0.40 per square foot.

Plenty of Uxbridge homes also have dogs that come in from the trails along the canal, the farm fields or the backyard. Muddy paws and the occasional accident are normal here. Pet urine and odor treatment starts at an extra $30 and heavy pet hair removal adds $20 to $40. We will tell you honestly if a stain or odor looks set, because some may not come out 100%.
