"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.!!!"

"Carey was able to respond quickly and completed a deep cleaning of all stairs within 1 day. The shampoo scrub effort removed all coffee spills and our heavy traffic pattern. Carey went above and beyond to help! Carey is highly recommended!"

"When Tom showed me how much dirt his machine removed from our carpets, I couldn t believe it. We chose the Chem-Dry service because we didn t want harmful chemicals in our house. We couldn t be happier with Tom s work or the results. He was also courteous and professional throughout the process."

"Marcus was very communicative before job day. He came in person to see the rooms needing work so he could make a firm quote, and then returned the next day to complete the job. He and his co-worker arrived on time and worked very steadily. I requested 3 rooms of carpet cleaning, 1 large lower level tile floor scrubbing, and stairs sanding/staining. The job was finished in one day. The floor and carpets were very worn and needed special attention. They came out really nice, and the flooring was better than I expected."

Carpet Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A basic move-out cleaning service typically includes:

  • Dusting

  • Mopping

  • Vacuuming

  • Wiping down surfaces 

However, if your home could use a little more cleaning than the basics, you can optionally add on services, like grout cleaning, carpet shampooing, and window washing.

Steam cleaning carpets uses less water and has faster drying times. Shampooing carpets involves applying a carpet shampoo and using a machine that works it into the carpet and fibers. This method uses more water, so it tends to take longer for the carpets to dry. Which method should be used depends on the type of stains, level of dirtiness, and preference.

While you don’t have to move everything out of a room for a carpet cleaning, doing so will reveal hidden dirt and allow for a more thorough cleaning. However, for heavy or rarely used areas under furniture, cleaning around the pieces can be enough. Professional cleaners often work around large items or move furniture as needed.

Yes, if you want to use a carpet cleaner to its full potential, complete multiple passes and water changes until the water comes out clear. If it’s been a while since you last cleaned, it’s common for this to take up to 10 passes or possibly more. Once the water runs clear, you’ll know all the dirt and grime are gone.

Suggesting regular dusting and spot cleaning to maintain freshness.
