"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

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

Anything that might have been exposed to fumigation chemicals should be washed before use. Wipe down and sanitize surfaces like countertops and tables, and wash all utensils (or take care to store them in an airtight box beforehand), as well as anything else that could find its way into someone’s mouth, like kid or pet toys. 

Use carpet deodorizers specifically designed to neutralize pet odors, or opt for enzymatic cleaners to break down odor-causing molecules. For stubborn odors, consider professional carpet cleaning at home to refresh and deodorize your carpet thoroughly. Additionally, maintaining a clean environment and addressing accidents promptly can help prevent odors from becoming entrenched in the carpet fibers.

Steam cleaning a couch should get rid of most smells, but there are some more potent smells that require a bit more work than steam cleaning. For instance, steam cleaning won’t likely get the smell of pee out of a couch. To remove urine odor from a couch, you’ll most likely need to use an enzymatic cleaner, which targets the smell and stain.

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.
