The Team Behind Every Clean Carpet
39 Years. One Trusted Team. Zero Shortcuts.
Most carpet-cleaning companies send whoever is free that day. R&L sends a trained, IICRC-certified team that treats your home like their own — owned and led by Rick Long, who founded R&L in 1991 and has been cleaning carpets since 1987.
IICRC certified, six Angie's List Super Service Awards, and named one of Kansas City's Top 10 carpet cleaners. We charge every town the same rate — no travel surcharge, ever.
