"I had a serious issue with puppy stains and was uncertain if they would come out. Patrick and his partner pretreated them with a special enzyme spray, and it started to draw the stains out right away. The carpet wasn't drenched and dried in 24 hours just like Patrick said it would. Very reasonably priced as well. I especially appreciated that Patrick followed up with me this year to see if I needed any services, as I have used Matrix before and will continue to whenever I need to. I highly recommend Matrix!"

Fibertech Carpet, Upholstery and On-Location Drapery Cleaning have been cleaning the areas finest properties such as The Four Seasons Hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and other commercial properties since 1998. We offer the same outstanding service to our residential customers at a competitive price. Our carpet cleaning starts with: 1. All carpeted areas are pre-treated using 3 types of environmentally safe cleaners that breakdown soil along with spots and stains. 2. This is followed by a steam cleaning using an All Fiber Rinse that neutralizes any cleaners used. This leaves the carpet soft to the touch and residue free. It also contains a soil retardant, which means the carpet stays cleaner longer. The All Fiber Rinse also deodorizes. 3. Any spots or stains that don't respond to normal cleaning are treated with the proper cleaners, This multi-step process delivers excellent results. Our Upholstery cleaning starts with: 1. All upholstered areas are pre-treated using cleaners specifically designed to clean upholstery. 2. This is followed by a steam cleaning using an All Fiber Rinse that neutralizes any cleaners used. This leaves the upholstery soft to the touch and residue free. It also contains a soil retardant, which means the upholstery stays cleaner longer. The All Fiber Rinse also deodorizes.

"STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM THIS FROM BELLA CUSTOM CARPERT CLEANING IN NEAR WEST SUBURBS OF CHICAGO! IT IS NOW A BILIGERANT CON! After 13 years, I hired them again for my front room and family room at $269 on 9/23/23 on a Sat. They came over 3 hours late from the appointment time. They were unable to communicate in English. When asked for proof on insurance and bonding they ignored me and intimidatingly with grunts and stares the big guys pulled the big tube and nozzle in the house. They did not know what to do! I had to direct them to the rooms and the stains I needed removed. Well, all they did was drag the vacuum nozzle across the carpet and leave! They blew dirt down into my floor vents and closed them! I was assured stains would be treated and removedâ ¦not! See pictures for the stains which was the reason I hired them. And here is when it gets nasty and really why not to use them. When I called Gary on Monday and told him, I said I had tried vinegar and water afterwards. Gary voice was slurred and laughed saying â thatâ s what we use. Let us come out and hit it again!â I asked how much, he said â only $120.â When I said why it wasnâ t done on Sat, he responded in the same slurred tone, â weâ ll be out to do it again!â I hung up. Hereâ s the definitive â kickerâ â ¦3 weeks later I get a call asking for the check. I told him I sent the check to Westchester because, incredibly, no address is listed on the receipt and that was what came up on the I â net. He said for me to send him another one in Lagrange. I told him no because I have a cancelled check fee. Again in a slurred, fogged in, tone, he said OK and he will call his Westchester office to see if they got it. Never heard back. It is obvious Bella now has a huge problem with service techs and apparently polluted ownership. STAY AWAY FROM BELLA! IT IS NOT WHAT IT WAS!"

"Big talker..very cheap price. When he arrived, he entered with only a bag of cleaners, a scrub brush, paint tray to put solvent into and a regular rug shampooer.. no large equipment, as I have usually seen. The spots were minimally lightened.. but with a price quoted as only $125 for two rooms and a hallway, what could I expect? I added a couch and chair to be cleaned also and total price was $200. Couch and chair appear to be cleaned. He quoted double treatment, sanitizing, deodorizing, stain guarding, pre-spotted conditioner, naplifting conditioner, degreaser.. in a high-pitched tone like a announcer at a circus. He appeared to be working hard with his limited equipment, but we were not impressed in the end. I should have paid more and gone with Stanley Steamer, for example, lesson learned, cheaper is not better."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

You can use a carpet patch to replace a single section of carpet. You’ll cut out the damaged section and then replace it with a caret patch. The patch should be the same color as the existing carpet. You can also hire a professional carpet repair company to get it done. 

The best way to fix carpet matting is to start by vacuuming thoroughly in multiple directions to lift the flattened fibers. For more stubborn spots, apply moisture with an ice cube or steam, then fluff the carpet using a spoon, comb, or carpet brush. A blow dryer or warm iron over a damp towel can also help restore the carpet’s texture. For deep or widespread matting, a professional cleaning is your best bet to fluff your carpet back up to its former glory.

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.

While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area.

In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).

Since carpet can be expensive to install and choosing a new carpet can seem daunting, it’s important to know when to repair your existing carpet versus replacing it.

If the damage to your carpet Is extensive, such as large sections needing to be replaced, it might be best to replace it. Likewise, if your carpet damage is due to water damage, it might be best to replace the entire carpet to avoid mold problems. Consider repairing your carpet when the damage is localized to one spot or when the damaged carpet is in a low-traffic area of your home.
