"Gary and his son did a fantastic job on my 25 year old cream colored carpet. It looks just beautiful now. They came back a second time because, even though it looked perfect when they finished the first time, some "browning" spots emerged when it dried. These they took care of during the second trip. They also removed a stain that was on it. Previously I had used two other carpet cleaners which had completely failed to get it clean. McCoy Carpet Cleaner's has saved me from the huge expense of replacing this very old carpet!"

"My light gray sofa from Ikea is 5 years old and it had it's share of coffee and food stains. I hired Mexi Maids to steam cleaning it at my apartment. The guy did a great job, worked without making a mess and was most gracious. I would hire Mexi Maids again in a heartbeat because my sofa looks brand new! Very satisfied!"

"Sent out Silk Rug with urine damage, got back in beautiful condition. Great service and excellent communications. A rather expensive Turkish silk rug (at least for me!), I was worried to just ship it off to an unknown company but Fred was great! Thanks Soleimani Antique Rugs as Mystical Art!"

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Costs depend on fabric type, drape size, cleaning method, and whether additional services like pressing or deodorizing are included.

Steam cleaning is generally considered better than shampooing for deep cleaning carpets. Also known as hot water extraction, steam cleaning uses heat to penetrate deep into the carpet fibers, effectively removing dirt, allergens, and bacteria without leaving behind a sticky residue. This method also tends to cause less wear on your carpet over time and leaves the fibers feeling softer. While a steamer can be more expensive, the cost is often justified by the longevity of your carpet. Shampooing may be a suitable option for quickly fixing odors or cleaning minor surface stains. However, it can leave behind a soapy film that attracts more dirt, defeating the purpose of the cleaning. The best choice depends on your needs; for a thorough, deep clean, steam is the superior option, while shampooing can handle light, surface-level dirt.

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.

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.

Typically, you should avoid using a traditional carpet cleaner on Oriental rugs because the chemical makeup of carpet cleaners can damage the rug’s natural fibers. You can, however, opt for a neutral pH cleaner, which can do a decent job of cleaning the carpet without damaging it. Always test whatever cleaning solution you use on a small, hidden spot of your rug first. That way, if any damage occurs, it doesn’t totally ruin your rug.
