Hi, I'm Ray - And When You Call Sunshine Cleaning, You Get Me

Not a call center. Not a rotating cast of technicians. Just Ray DeMeo, IICRC Master Textile Cleaner, serving Greater Boston since 2007. I don't just show up with a machine and start spraying. I inspect the material and condition first, choose the right method, and tell you honestly what can be improved. Your carpets, upholstery, and floors deserve someone who treats cleaning as a craft, not a race.

One Owner. One Standard.

Inspection First

Before I clean anything, I look at the material, condition, and soiling and tell you honestly what can be improved. Cleaning second, always.

Owner-Operated

You are dealing directly with the person doing the work. No rotating crew, no call center.

IICRC Master Certified

Master Textile Cleaner and IICRC Certified Firm, backed by ongoing continuing education.

Local & Careful

Based in Waltham, with eco-friendly products and careful protection of your furnishings and flooring.

Professional Cleaning Services

Carpet Cleaning

My high-performance portable equipment provides powerful extraction while allowing me to work in homes and buildings where truck-mounted equipment isn't practical.

Tile & Grout Cleaning

My specialized cleaning process removes years of buildup from kitchen and bathroom surfaces, bringing back that just-installed look. Safe for all tile types, including natural stone.
Button

Vinyl, LVP, & Resilient Floor Care

Your luxury vinyl, VCT, or resilient floors need more than a mop and bucket. My maintenance process removes embedded soil and restores the original luster without damaging the surface or protective coatings.
Button

Upholstery Cleaning

From an antique sofa to a well-loved sectional, I clean upholstery with the care it deserves. Each fabric gets treated according to its specific needs, because what works on synthetic microfiber can ruin natural silk.
Button

Mattress Cleaning

Your mattress collects sweat, body oils, dust, and everyday grime. I’ll inspect it first, then use the appropriate cleaning method to remove that buildup and freshen things up.

Button

Shower Glass Restoration

Hard water deposits on your marble, granite, or glass surfaces aren't just annoying, they build up fast in Massachusetts. I use pH-balanced solutions safe for acid-sensitive surfaces to remove mineral buildup without etching or damaging your investment.
Button

Emergency Water Damage

When pipes burst or appliances overflow, speed matters. My rapid response water extraction and drying services help prevent permanent damage and mold growth.
Button

Deodorization Services

Pet accidents, smoke, and cooking odors don't just need a fresh scent sprayed on top. I treat the source, not just the smell, with real chemistry.

The Sunshine Inspection

Inspection first. Cleaning second. Here's how every visit works:

Every job follows the same five steps, whether it's a living room rug or a dental office lobby:

  • Identify - Determine the fiber, material, construction and condition.
  • Investigate - Look at soil, stains, wear, odors, and previous treatments.
  • Test - Test cleaning solutions and procedures when needed, before committing to a method.
  • Explain - Tell you honestly what can realistically be improved.
  • Clean - Use the appropriate professional method for your material.


I'm not the cheapest option, and I'm okay with that. You get master-level expertise, honest expectations, and the best your carpets, rugs, or floors can look given their actual condition.

Sunshine Cleaning Systems services Waltham and Watertown

Waltham and Watertown

As a Waltham-based business, I know these communities inside and out. From historic mill buildings turned into homes to classic New England colonials, I've cleaned everything from busy family rooms to home offices. Waltham families keep me on my toes - pet accidents, juice spills from the kids' snack table, and the occasional red wine mishap during dinner parties. Watertown's family-friendly streets near Cambridge bring parents who want eco-friendly cleaning that's genuinely safe for kids and pets.

Newton and Brookline homes served by Sunshine Cleaning Systems

Newton and Brookline

Newton and Brookline homes are something special - Victorian beauties, colonial revivals, and modern builds that all demand careful, knowledgeable care. I've worked on Persian rugs older than the Big Dig (and in better shape), and helped families protect their investments with manufacturer-compliant cleaning. Newton Centre's and Brookline Village's families understand the difference between cheap and affordable - they want results that last.

Sunshine Cleaning Systems services Reading and Andover

Reading and Andover

Reading and Andover represent classic New England family communities where homeownership means something. These aren't transient neighborhoods—people plant roots here, raise kids, and invest in their properties for the long haul. I've worked on everything from split-level ranch homes with finished basements (prime real estate for mystery stains) to historic colonials where the carpet needs as much respect as the original crown molding. These homeowners do their research, ask intelligent questions, and expect professionals who show up on time and deliver results that justify the investment rather than just the cheapest quote.

Servicing Weston and Wayland by Sunshine Cleaning Systems

Weston and Wayland

Weston and Wayland families take pride in their homes, from classic colonials to spacious new builds with growing kids and busy schedules. I've worked on everything from playroom carpets that see daily wear to formal living rooms saved for special occasions, plus antique rugs passed down through generations. Between muddy soccer cleats, art projects, and family pets, these homes see real life - and I help keep them looking their best, room by room.

Sunshine Cleaning Systems services Belmont and Arlington

Belmont and Arlington

These are the neighborhoods where I've cleaned the same family rooms for years - watching kids grow up, pets come and go, and life happen all over the carpets. Belmont and Arlington families appreciate the personal touch and long-term thinking. I've helped parents deal with everything from toddler "artwork" with permanent markers to teenage basement hangout areas that... well, let's just say they needed professional intervention. These communities value relationships and quality over quick fixes.

Lexington and Winchester homes served by Sunshine Cleaning Systems

Lexington and Winchester

These communities take pride in their homes - and it shows. From Revolutionary War-era houses with period rugs to modern family homes filled with kids' artwork and heirloom furniture, Lexington and Winchester families invest in quality and expect the same from their service providers. I've cleaned carpets in homes where the furniture is worth more than most people's cars, and every job gets the careful attention of IICRC Master certification. These families want their homes preserved, not just cleaned.

Yelp Review
Five black stars in a row.

When we had new carpeting installed seven years ago, the salesperson told us that we always should have Ray of Sunshine care for it. One year later, our very old dog had a series of accidents on the carpet, so we reached out to Ray immediately. He did an amazing job of cleaning the mess, and there were no stains or smell after he was done.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What makes Sunshine Cleaning Systems different?

    I'm an IICRC Master Textile Cleaner and IICRC Certified Firm. Every job is inspected and personally done by me, not a rotating crew.

  • Will Ray personally perform my cleaning?

    Yes. When you call Sunshine Cleaning Systems, you get Ray, start to finish, every time.

  • Do you inspect carpet before cleaning?

    Always. I identify the material, check its condition, and test a method before I clean anything. Inspection first, cleaning second.

  • Can every stain be removed?

    No, and I will tell you honestly if a stain can't be fully removed. I will always tell you what result is realistic before I start.

  • Are your cleaning methods safe around children and pets?

    Yes, I use eco-friendly products and methods suited to your home and family.

  • What areas do you serve?

    I'm based in Waltham, MA and serve Greater Boston within about 30 miles, including Newton, Lexington, Belmont, and Weston.

  • Do you clean commercial properties?

Carpet Cleaning Frequency

For most Greater Boston homes, professional cleaning every 12-18 months is recommended. Homes with pets, children, or allergies may need cleaning every 6-9 months. 

Safe Cleaning Products

Absolutely. I use eco-friendly, plant-based cleaning solutions (upon request)that are safe for your entire family, including pets.

Stain Removal Guarantee

While I wish I could guarantee 100% stain removal (trust me, I'd love to promise miracles), I believe in complete honesty. Some permanent stains cannot be removed, but as a Master Textile Cleaner, I can often achieve results that surprise even experienced homeowners. I'll tell you upfront what's possible and what's wishful thinking.

Carpet Drying Time

Most carpets dry within 4-6 hours using our advanced extraction equipment. I can provide air movers for even faster drying when needed.

Do you move furniture?

Yes! I carefully move most furniture to ensure complete cleaning. Larger items, such as entertainment centers, remain in place, but I clean thoroughly around them.

What makes you different from franchise carpet cleaners?

When you choose Sunshine Cleaning, you work directly with me—Ray, the owner and Master Textile Cleaner. No rotating technicians, no rushed schedules, no upselling tactics. Just consistent, expert service every time.
