"The house had not been lived in since 2002; I purchased the house and had only seen pictures on Trulia. My sister had gone to take a look before I bought the house but did an "overview" only. I will move in in August; my sister went to open the door for Brittany; she said she cleaned and cleaned - even the walls that had pollen all over them (which you could not see on the photos). My sister says that I must give Brittany a tip because she went above and beyond. I can't wait to meet her myself. BTW, the shower, not in any picture of the house for sale, was beyond awful - so dirty; as I said no one lived there since 2002 and it needed the most cleaning; Brittany tackled it as a professional - even when my sister sent her a photo. A-1 Service from So. Belle Cleaning. I WILL be using them again!!!"

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

The fastest way to soak up water in carpet is to use a wet/dry shop vac to draw out as much water as possible. Afterward, apply firm pressure to towels to sop up any remaining moisture, then liberally sprinkle baking soda over the carpet and let it sit for at least an hour before vacuuming it up. You can speed up the process by opening windows, using blower fans to create airflow, and running a dehumidifier. 

Yes, it is possible to over-shampoo a carpet or overuse a carpet cleaner, which can cause more harm than good. Applying too much cleaning solution (oversaturation) or shampooing too frequently can damage the carpet. Potential negative effects include leaving behind a sticky residue that attracts more dirt, weakening the carpet fibers, and causing a worn appearance, which can shorten the carpet's lifespan. Furthermore, oversaturating the carpet can hinder the drying process, leading to discoloration, shrinking, tearing, and an increased risk of mold or mildew growth.

Unless you have a steam cleaner with an extractor (which is what most professionals use), a steam cleaner only breaks up all the dirt and grime stuck to your flooring and doesn’t actually remove the dirt. After a steam clean, the key to getting rid of dirt and grime is going back over it with a vacuum, mop, or microfiber cloth.

We love our pets, but a dog's fur, gums, teeth, and butt can all be sources of lingering smells that affect your home. If your dog is wet or dirty from playing outside, they can easily bring these scents into your house as well.

Besides feeling icky grit when walking barefoot in your home, not mopping the floors can create health risks. Pollen, dirt, dust, and overall filth lead to allergen, bacteria, and even mold buildup, polluting your home and creating an unhygienic environment. You also risk damaging the floors due to stains and scratches with neglect. Lastly, your home will become less inviting due to odors from the lack of cleaning.
