"Al, was prompt on time and communicated throughout the process. The day of he did fantastic work on carpeting that was more than 15 years old. His method was far superior to using wet shampoo on a carpet. I would definitely hire him again. Great job.!!!"

"He cleaned the cream colored carpet in 2 bedrooms and 2 rugs in a hallway and family room. All four areas were cleaned perfectly. The family room rug gets heavy use and was really dirty but it looks (and smells) great. This is the second time that Carey has cleaned the carpets and I will hire him again."

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

If you or your pet are unlucky enough to enrage a skunk during extraction, don’t douse yourself in tomato juice—it only masks the odor. A more effective way to get rid of skunk smells is with a hydrogen peroxide solution which you apply to skin, pet fur, or clothing.

You should aim to have your floors professionally deep cleaned once or twice per year. A deep clean service can remove set-in stains, clean grout between tiles, address water spots or discoloration on wood floors, and make your floors look new again. For households with children, pets, or severe allergies, consider increasing the frequency to four times per year (quarterly). It's also important to perform regular cleaning, such as vacuuming and mopping, in between professional services.

The best way to deep clean a carpet yourself is to buy or rent a carpet steam cleaner. First, spot-clean the carpet to pre-treat any stains, then vacuum to remove any lingering dirt or debris. Next, use the carpet cleaner across the room, repeating as needed for heavily soiled areas. Let the carpet dry thoroughly before walking on it—this could take a full day, depending on your home’s humidity level and air circulation.

Vinegar is acidic and makes a great cleaning agent for many items throughout the house, including some upholstery. It should not be used for any upholstery with the code S or X. It can be used for W labels. To use a vinegar solution, mix equal parts water and vinegar and blot the stain using a gentle circular motion with a clean microfibre cloth and then allow to dry completely. As with any DIY solution, test a small and inconspicuous section first.

The recommended frequency for cleaning your carpets depends on several factors, including foot traffic, pets, children, and allergies. As a general guideline, you should have your carpets professionally deep cleaned every 12 to 18 months. However, for households with high foot traffic, pets, or children, more frequent cleanings, such as quarterly, are recommended. If anyone in your home suffers from severe allergies, cleaning the carpets every two months may be best. Between professional cleanings, vacuuming at least once a week is ideal to lift surface dirt. A good time to schedule a deep cleaning is after a rainy or snowy season to avoid tracking in new mud. For a personalized schedule, consult with a carpet cleaning team, who may offer packages for ongoing visits.
