About Michael Azevedo:

I’ve been lucky enough to be on the Steam Sweepers rug cleaning team for almost a decade now. A job 9 years ago quickly became my career once I learned immersion rug washing was a Craft/Art. I have learned so many interesting things about the world of rugs and most importantly how to bring life back to our customers' rugs. We call them “Story Rugs”, some of family legacy and other of personal experiences and travels. Every rug has a story and I’m happy to be part of the team that allows it to continue. The only thing more rewarding than the Craft of rug cleaning is seeing the joy of our customers when they get their rugs back.

When I’m not here at Steam Sweepers Rug Cleaning I enjoy spending time with my family and skydiving!

Customers love working with Michael Azevedo

I was very pleased with Steam Sweepers. They took my rug and got rid of the stains. The estimate was very close to the price I paid. They presented me with what I could expect to see afterwards and that the rug which had a kind of tea dye might be lighter in some places with cleaning. No surprises. They were extremely pleasant to work with too.

Impeccable workmanship, and down-to-earth friendly service. I had three large area rugs cleaned by the ingenious water bath process and I don't know how I could possibly be more satisfied. The rugs are dark in color so I never really knew how dirty they were until I had them cleaned. It's like having brand new rugs! I would hands-down recommend Steam Sweepers to anyone who not only has rugs to be cleaned, but who also values the importance of integrity, honesty, and a truly professional attitude from start to finish.

I have this wall hanging that my late mother made probably 50 years ago. It has great sentimental value for me. It was in dire need of cleaning, most of the border was dark gray with dirt. I took it to a dry cleaners but after having it for a week they decided they didn't want to risk cleaning it in fear of it falling apart. They did refer me to Steam Sweepers. I went there and after a lengthy and informative discussion, left it with them for cleaning. The results exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds, and the price was fair and well worth my trust. Highly, highly recommend!!

Transparent I needed a small woven rug that had been hanging in a bathroom to be sanitized and to have odors removed. At the business you can watch the cleaning process in action. In addition, the business wanted me to know beforehand about potential hazards of cleaning such as color drift or warping. In the end, the wool rug was color-fast and no further warping occurred due to washing, however the sanitation process did not remove all of the odors.

Steam Sweepers has been doing my carpets for over 20 years. Michael has been the man for the last several and always does an amazing job. Looks like new even though the carpet is as old as 20 years! Unfortunately I probably won't be using them again as the cost has gone up sooooo much! Even with a long time client discount. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

I had a large area rug that had been given to me by a relative. It was old, and it had not been cleaned for quite some time. I wanted a carpet cleaning company that used the cold water immersion cleaning method, and I got on the internet to find one. The only company that used that method was Steam Sweepers LLC. I called them, and they picked the rug up. They brought it back when they finished, and they did a great job! It came out much better than I expected! They were very professional and efficient people!

Adam was amazing. He came to our house and asked several questions about how the rugs had been used. He gave us a detailed description of one rug we are hoping to sell. He quoted us 2 weeks for the turnaround, but he brought them back cleaned in about a week and a half. He took photos for us of the rug we are hoping to sell and he rolled it around a tube and wrapped it in plastic to prepare it for shipping. Would highly recommend Steam Sweepers. Thanks for the great service.

Everyone is so personable and professional! Steam Sweepers LLC has done work for me numerous times. This last time I had their technicians come out to pick up a couple of area rugs at my home. They cleaned them at their facility and returned them back to me. The company's turnaround time is one week which seems reasonable. I heard that they are a little bit higher priced than other companies, but I feel for the quality of work you receive from them that they offer fair pricing. Besides, I really enjoy interacting with them. They are all very nice people at Steam Sweepers LLC. I highly recommend them as their technicians are very professional and so personable. That is why I keep going back to them and would not even think to call any other company but them.

Steam Sweepers LLC cleaned five rugs for me and did a fantastic job! My rugs look better than when I purchased them. Four of my rugs are vintage wool and the colors came out clean and crisp. I am very pleased that none of the colors faded or ran. They really know what they are doing. I will recommend them to everyone who comments on my rugs. They are brighter than they were before and so soft. They use a chemical process that does not include optical cleaners and that was very important to me. They do full immersion rug cleaning and that is hard to find. Their website was very informative about the process they use and they were so easy to find. I looked at other companies online, but I chose Steam Sweepers LLC because the website was so detailed and when I called they took time to explain their cleaning process to me. They were extremely professional and prompt. The pickup and delivery were right on time.

Difficult spots are given extra attention, furnishings are carefully avoided, and it's all done with prompt and courteous attention to detail. I cannot say enough about how pleased we are with this company, and Adam in particular, who has cleaned our carpet several times, always with great results. I would highly recommend this company.
