Barbara Heffernan, our founder and President started Carpet Concepts as her first venture into her own business. She discovered the introduction of “Capture”, a carpet cleaning product that was developed by DuPont and then refined and introduced by Milliken & Company in the late 70’s. Barbara decided to start a carpet cleaning business after using this product and seeing the incredible results.
Her start was initiated in Louisville, Kentucky, her customers were residential clients. She evolved since 1983, moving into numerous product and process improvements and as an entrepreneur; she refined her business, quickly moved into the Commercial end of carpet care and started her headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
