Back in 1996, Austin was a different city. The skyline didn’t yet have Frost Bank Tower or The Independent (“the Jenga building”). South Congress was just starting to turn from quirky thrift stores into the entertainment strip we know today. The old Liberty Lunch was still thumping with live shows, and grabbing breakfast at Las Manitas Café on Congress was the perfect way to fuel up for a long day.
That was also the year K&M Steam Cleaning first opened our doors. Ken Moncebaiz saw Austin growing fast and knew local families needed a trustworthy, high-quality carpet cleaning company. We didn’t have smartphones, Yelp, or even Google Maps back then—word of mouth and a job well done were what counted.
Why Carpet Cleaning Still Matters, Then and Now
Carpets in Austin homes have always taken a beating—back then it was muddy boots from Zilker Park, today it’s kids and pets running in after Barton Springs or soccer practice in Leander. No matter the decade, Central Texas dust, pollen, and allergens get deep into carpet fibers.
Since 1996, our mission hasn’t changed:
- Deep steam cleaning that removes dirt and allergens other methods leave behind.
- Fast-drying process so you can get back to living in your home, not waiting on your floors.
- Expert techs trained to treat every carpet like it’s their own.
Nostalgia Meets Modern Service
When we first started, most Austinites called us from landlines after finding our number in the Yellow Pages. Today, you can book your carpet cleaning online in seconds—but the same family-owned care and attention remain.
From Austin to Leander, Cedar Park, Round Rock, and beyond, we’re proud to have grown with this city. Just like the Mopac Expressway traffic jams that never went away, K&M Steam Cleaning has always been here to take care of Central Texas homes.
