"I called Tuesday for a quote, call back asap, they cleaned on Friday. Now that's service! My house is clean, but due to illness things were falling behind. The ladies they sent to clean were very warm, spoke perfect English and did a great job. Time to enjoy the weekend relaxing not scrubbing. Thank you! SHC"

"We hired Intex Cleaning Specialists for our office move-out cleaning, and they did an absolutely fantastic job! Adam and his team were professional, thorough, and incredibly efficient. They left the space spotless—far exceeding our expectations—and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the carpets to the windows, every detail was handled with care. Communication was great from start to finish, and the pricing was very fair for the high-quality service we received. If you’re looking for a reliable and detail-oriented cleaning company, I highly recommend Intex Cleaning Specialists. We will definitely be using them again in the future!"

Carpet Cleaning questions, answered by experts

After a carpet cleaning, it's important to give it time to dry before walking on it. While you should wait at least one hour to prevent immediate damage, a general guideline is to stay off the carpet for 6 to 12 hours. For the carpet to dry completely, it's best to wait a full 24 hours if possible.

The exact drying time can vary based on several factors:

  • Carpet Type: Thicker or high-pile carpets may take up to a full day or longer to dry completely, especially if they are very wet.

  • Cleaning Method: Methods like steam cleaning, which extract most of the water, can reduce drying time, allowing for light traffic after 6 to 12 hours.

  • Environment: You can speed up drying time by ensuring good airflow, using fans, and maintaining low humidity. Poor ventilation will extend the drying period.

Walking on a damp carpet can re-soil it, leave footprints, and potentially damage the carpet fibers.

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. 

The recommended solution is to use a brand-name stain remover you trust in your machine. However, you can make an upholstery cleaning solution using a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and dish soap.

While they both help to penetrate tough fibers and have similar designs, there is a difference between an upholstery cleaner and a carpet cleaner. Carpet cleaners are much tougher on stains and use much more concentrated solutions, while upholstery cleaners are a bit softer on fabrics and use lighter solutions. While an upholstery cleaner may work on a carpet, your carpet cleaner might be too rough on your upholstered furniture.

Yes, many professionals offer ultrasonic cleaning for thorough, chemical-free results.
