"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!"

They used safe products that left everything fresh and clean without any harsh smells. I’m beyond happy with the result and will definitely use this service again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality upholstery cleaning!"

Carpet Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A carpet cleaner uses steam to penetrate the fibers of your carpet and remove dirt, while a carpet shampooer uses a detergent to clean the carpet’s surface. These are both efficient methods of cleaning your carpet, but steam cleaners do a better job of sanitizing the surface of the carpet.

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’t remove it all. Second, if your rug smells like chemicals, it’s possible you didn’t rinse out all of the rug cleaning solution you used. Finally, if you didn’t hang up your rug to dry completely, it could be holding moisture and allowing mold to grow. In any of these cases, it’s a good idea to defer to a professional for help.

Yes, you can rent or buy a steam cleaner. A heavy-duty steam cleaner costs between $175 and $250 at most retail outlets and online. You can also usually rent one for around $40 per day.

Most of the larger machines you can rent from a hardware or grocery store have a larger water reserve and a heating element. Both operate by moving slowly and methodically over the carpet. Whether you rent or buy a unit, you will want to stay off your carpet for at least 12 to 24 hours while they dry.

Wool rugs respond well to light steam cleaning. Steam cleaning can help lift the dirt out of a wool rug and eliminate odors. However, because wool rugs are so absorbent, excessive moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, so you’ll need to be cautious with the amount of steam being used, and avoid steam cleaning more than once a year to protect the rug’s fibers.

No, you shouldn’t let dog diarrhea dry before cleaning it. While cleaning the stain when it's dried sounds less messy, it can cause more harm than good. Old stains have a chance to dry into your carpet, and the smell can go deeper into the fibers. This makes removing old dog poop more of a headache to clean than dealing with diarrhea while it’s fresh.
