Q: Why does my area rug smell after cleaning?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons your area rug smells after cleaning. First, you might have agitated dirt, dust, and pet dander deep in the rug during cleaning, which might smell for a day or two if you didn&rsquo;t remove it all. Second, if your rug smells like chemicals, it&rsquo;s possible you didn&rsquo;t rinse out all of the rug cleaning solution you used. Finally, if you didn&rsquo;t hang up your rug to dry completely, it could be holding moisture and allowing mold to grow. In any of these cases, it&rsquo;s a good idea to defer to a professional for help.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a carpet cleaner on a couch?

• <div><p>While it may be possible to use a carpet cleaner on a couch, it is often not recommended and requires significant caution. Some carpet cleaners contain harsh or abrasive chemicals that are unsuitable for soft upholstery fabrics. To determine if it's safe, always check your couch's care tag, which dictates approved cleaning methods. If you decide to proceed, ensure the carpet cleaner has an upholstery attachment and that you are using a cleaning solution specifically designed for upholstery. It is also crucial to avoid oversaturating the fabric. Before cleaning the entire couch, always test the cleaner on a small, hidden area to check for potential damage or discoloration.</p></div>

Q: How can I make my couch smell fresh?

• <div><p>If your upholstery has a funky odor or you want to make your couch smell fresh, sprinkle some baking soda on the piece for 30 minutes up to an hour and then use the vacuum to remove the baking soda. If it&rsquo;s still smelling funky, you may need to hire a professional cleaning service for a deeper clean.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect cleaning costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on fabric type, drape size, cleaning method, and whether additional services like pressing or deodorizing are included.</p></div>

"Fantastic results were achieved both in removing stains as well as steam cleaning the carpets. The four old stains were nearly completely removed and what remained was very minor and hard to see from any distance. All the smaller, newer stains were also removed. Steam cleaning was very effective and carpet looks just a few years old instead of 30+ years old!"
