For Home? Business?

After years of cleaning all kinds of carpets, taking continuing education courses, reading trade journals and conversing with other carpet cleaners from around the country, we have come to understand which carpets wear the best, clean up the best and look the best after years of use. On many occasions, we have watched our customers make purchase decisions based solely on appearance or price instead of product knowledge. Unfortunately, we've also seen the dissatisfaction and disappointment that those uninformed choices have caused. That is why MCE got into the "carpet sales & installation business" -- purely as an extension of our commitment to our clients.
