FiberCare Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning

10/09/2026

The difference in a carpet clean usually isn't the soap. It's what's pushing it through the carpet.

Our RX-20 is a rotary jet extractor. Instead of a single wand making a couple of passes, its spinning head works from five angles at once, so cleaning reaches between the yarns instead of just skimming the top.

A healthy home starts at the floor, and a better-looking carpet follows from that. Family-owned in El Paso since 1995.

Anyone can say they're "experienced" with natural stone. It doesn't tell you much.

Travertine is soft, porous, and full of natural pits. The wrong product or the wrong pad can etch it, and that damage doesn't come out. So when you're choosing who touches your floors, "experienced" is a pretty thin answer.

Guillermo is MB Stone-certified specifically in honing and polishing natural stone. That's training in how stone actually behaves, not just a few years of mopping floors that happened to be stone.

If your travertine has gone dull, chalky, or tired, ask whoever you're considering how they're trained to handle it. We're happy to answer the same question.

If your travertine floor looked great for about a week after it was "cleaned" and then went dull again — the cleaning wasn't the problem.

Travertine forms around natural hot springs, which means every slab comes out of the ground with small pits and holes already built into it. That's not damage, it's just how the stone formed. Left alone, those pits trap dirt, grime, and standing water, and that's what actually makes a travertine floor, patio, or shower look worn out even when the stone underneath is completely fine.

Here's the step a lot of companies skip: filling those pits and holes with a matching resin or grout before honing and polishing. Skip it, and you're just polishing around a surface full of tiny traps for dirt and water — it looks shiny for about a week, then dulls right back down. We fill first, then hone and polish over a level surface, which is the actual difference between a floor that looks restored and one that just looks temporarily buffed.

Guillermo is MB Stone-certified specifically in honing and polishing natural stone — travertine's porosity means it needs different care than marble or granite, not the same process run on every stone that comes through the door.

If you've ever cleaned your marble with vinegar or a lemon-scented all-purpose spray because it felt like the "natural" way to do it — this one's for you.

Marble looks like it should be indestructible. It's stone, after all. But marble is calcium carbonate, which means anything acidic — lemon juice, w**e, vinegar, most bathroom and glass cleaners — actually eats into the surface on contact. That dull spot it leaves behind is called an etch, and it isn't a stain sitting on top that you can wipe away. The surface itself has been changed, which is why mopping harder never fixes it.

El Paso has a lot of the same marble varieties in local homes — bright white Carrara and Calacatta on counters and vanities, warmer Emperador and Crema Marfil on floors — and each one takes a polish a little differently. Guillermo is certified by MB Stone specifically in honing and polishing natural stone, which is a different skill than general cleaning: it's how you actually reverse an etch instead of just working around it.

Week 2 of our September specials: 10% off rug cleaning — this week only.

Persian, Oriental, Navajo, Karastan — whatever's sitting in your home that you've been nervous to hand to just anyone, this is the week to bring it in. We're El Paso's dedicated rug-washing plant, not a carpet cleaner running rugs through the same equipment as your floors.

Most people assume that once a rug looks and smells fine right out of the wash, the job's done. We don't assume — we check.

Twenty to thirty minutes into drying is the exact point a treated rug smells worst, if it's going to smell at all — that's when any contamination we missed re-emerges, before the fibers fully dry.

So instead of calling a job finished right after washing, we run a UV blacklight check again at that specific window, on top of the one we already do before we even start cleaning.

If anything's still there, we catch it while the rug's still in our plant — not weeks later, back in your living room.

It's a small extra step most companies skip, since it means a job takes longer than "spray and vacuum." We'd rather take the extra 20-30 minutes than have you calling us back once the smell comes back.

He'd already paid someone else to clean it, then spent a full day hosing it down himself in the backyard. The smell came back both times.

Not long ago we picked up a rug from a customer whose dog had, in his words, "done a real number on it." He'd already paid another company to clean it in his home - the way most companies handle a pet urine call - and it didn't work. So he hosed it down in his own backyard and let it drip-dry in the sun for a full day. It still smelled afterward.

Here's why that keeps happening: urine leaves salt deposits deep in a rug's foundation that a surface wand can't reach, and those salts reactivate every time humidity climbs - which is exactly why a rug can seem fine in spring and smell like a kennel once El Paso's monsoon season hits. Getting it out for good means washing the rug all the way through, not across the top, which is only possible at a real rug plant.

That's what our own dedicated rug washing plant - the only one in El Paso - is built for: UV blacklight inspection to find the real extent of it, full-immersion washing, and a final blacklight check before it comes home. If we ever conclude a rug can't be saved, we tell you and don't charge for the inspection.

31 years ago, FiberCare opened its doors in El Paso. We're still family-run, still doing the work ourselves.

On September 5th, FiberCare turns 31 - three decades and one more year of cleaning carpets, upholstery, and rugs for families and businesses across El Paso and Las Cruces, NM.

We've never been a franchise and never brought on a big roster of subcontractors. From day one it's been the same two people - Emilio and Guillermo - showing up, doing the work, and standing behind it. That's still true today.

Thirty-one years means we've seen just about everything a carpet, rug, or piece of furniture can go through, and we've built our whole process - the equipment, the training, the way we treat pet odor and natural-dye rugs - around actually solving those problems instead of covering them up.

Thank you to everyone in El Paso and Las Cruces who's trusted us with their home over the last 31 years. We're not going anywhere.

Ever notice your tile floor still looks dull right after you mop it? That's not your mopping, it's the grout. Grout is porous, and it holds onto years of tracked-in soil that a mop can push around but never actually pull out.

We just finished a tile floor deep-clean in an El Paso living room using hot water extraction, the same process we use for carpet, just built for tile and grout instead. A rotary tool works cleaning solution into the grout lines, then extraction pulls the loosened soil and rinse water back out instead of leaving it to dry back in. The grout came back noticeably lighter and the tile's real color showed through again.

If your floor has been mopped for years but never actually deep-cleaned, that's usually the fix.
