Q: What is the best cleaner to remove soot?

• <div><p>The best cleaner to remove soot depends on the surface material and the type of fire, but consider dish soaps or degreasers, baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and hydrogen. Low-oxygen fires often leave behind greasy soot, which is best removed with dish soaps or degreasers. Baking soda can be useful for absorbing soot deposits from carpets, followed by rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean the set-in stains.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to clean different rug materials?

• <div><p>Part of the rug cleaning cost depends on the rug material type. Different materials may require different cleaning methods. Some of the most common rug material cleaning costs include:</p><ul><li><p>Wool: $5&ndash;$8 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Cotton: $2&ndash;$8 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Silk: $4&ndash;$8 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Synthetic: $1&ndash;$4 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Sheepskin: $4&ndash;$8 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Sisal: $4&ndash;$7 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Other materials: $1&ndash;$8 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does it take to clean smoke damage?

• <div><p>It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to clean smoke damage, depending mostly on the extent of the damage and the method your professional uses. Ozone smoke restoration is a popular option that takes just 24 to 48 hours, but you may need multiple treatments to remove odors. For major house fires, it might be a better option to replace smoke-damaged materials, which could take six to 12 months.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to sleep in the room after its carpet was cleaned?

• <div><p>There aren&rsquo;t health dangers to sleeping in a room where the carpet was just cleaned. In some cases, strong-scented detergents may trigger allergies in sensitive people, but otherwise there&rsquo;s not much to worry about. </p><p>A greater concern is walking across damp carpet, which is undesirable. To air out the room and help the carpet dry, it&rsquo;s a good idea to stay off the floors for about 24 hours if possible. If you&rsquo;re cleaning carpets in the bedroom, you may want to make alternative sleeping plans. </p></div>

Q: Can you steam clean a couch?

• <div><p>Depending on the upholstery, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-steam-clean-a-couch.htm">steam cleaning your couch</a> is a simple and easy way to give your most sat-on piece of furniture new life. Like a carpet, you may need to pretreat and spot-clean tougher stains, but you shouldn&rsquo;t use any larger or bulky steam cleaners you&rsquo;d typically use on your carpets. Opt for a gentle steam cleaner that can specifically clean fabric, and double-check your couch manufacturer&rsquo;s cleaning recommendations.</p></div>

Scott is an owner/operator and has been in business for several decades. I didn't want to hire a firm that would just send out an employee to do the cleaning. Scott paid attention to the details, took the time to do a thorough job, told me about the tough spots, moved items to clean underneath...

The day before the move, they came out and conducted an estimate. The final bill was really close to the estimate. It was actually under the estimated cost. When they arrived the next morning, they were on time and ready for work. While we only had approximately 15000-20000 lbs. they loaded it...

I've had cleaning services in the past and have always been very satisfied, but the work done by Merry Maids couldn't even be called mediocre--it was haphazard and shoddy. Chunks were still all over the carpet after vacuuming, nothing (hamper, rug, etc) was moved to mop in the bathroom or...
