Q: How do you deodorize an area rug?

• <div><p>Baking soda is an easy and effective way to deodorize an area rug. For minor odors, sprinkle some baking soda over the rug, brush it in gently with your hand or a microfiber cloth, and let it sit for an hour before vacuuming it out. For persistent odors, mix 1 cup of baking soda with 4 cups of water and spray it evenly over your rug. Let the mixture dry, and then vacuum the rug thoroughly. You can also use a commercial rug deodorizer, but make sure you match the product to your rug material to avoid damage.</p></div>

Q: Is shampoo or steam better for cleaning carpets?

• <div><p>Although shampooing can quickly fix odors, it causes more wear on your carpet over time than steam cleaning. Another advantage of steam cleaning is that it doesn&rsquo;t leave residue on your carpet fibers and will usually leave them feeling softer than shampooing does. Although a steamer is more expensive, it&rsquo;s worth the cost when considering the wear on your carpet and the replacement cost.</p></div>

Q: Should you let dog diarrhea dry before cleaning?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;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&rsquo;s fresh. </p></div>

Q: Will the urine smell eventually go away on their own?

• <div><p>If left untreated, the smell of pet urine may not go away on its own. This is because urine is a surfactant that can penetrate fabric and upholstery, even some porous concrete. Plus, urine attracts bacteria, which can worsen the smell. When dealing with urine on your couch, treat it immediately or pay for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-house-cleaner.htm">cost of a house cleaner</a>. Most pros charge between $30 and $50 per hour.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean carpets?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to have your carpet cleaned every <b>12 to 18 months</b>. But <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-clean-my-carpets.htm">carpet cleaning frequency</a> depends on foot traffic, so if you find dirt and stains magically appear in your home fairly frequently, you can have your carpet cleaned more often. Speak with your carpet cleaning team to ask about special packages that cover ongoing visits.</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...

"BFC Files a Lien on your property before the Job is complete. Liens are on your Real Estate Title Record permanently. I can understand filing a Mechanics Lien when someone does not pay their bill. My service was an Insurance Claim and BFC advised they would work with my Insurance Company, Who was never able to reach anyone there. BFC has you sign a document that authorizing your Insurance to pay them directly then they drop off a bill at your home stating, DUE NOW and file a lien. I'm so glad I did not continue with this company to reinstall my damanged flooring. They had already filed a Lien on my property for the Water Removal. Never once advised me of this action. Check Sec of State website, you may have a Lien on your property."
