"The first guy that came out to clean my carpet, sofas and mattress did not do a good job at all. He rushed and finished a 2 hr cleaning job in 1 hour. I was very dissatisfied. I called carpet cleaning experts to complain and without hesitation they said they will send another guy out to re clean. Doug came out to clean the following week and this time the job was done right, he was thorough and professional, he even took pictures of the noticeable spots that was still on my sofas and carpet before he cleaned. After he was done cleaning, I was very happy with how much cleaner and better my carpet and sofas looked and smelled the second time around, and the spots were gone or much less noticeable. I will call and request Doug again if I should need them in the future."

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.

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.

It takes 24 to 72 hours for water to evaporate out of the carpet if you use a wet vac and towels to soak up the majority of the moisture and then run blower fans and dehumidifiers to speed up the evaporation process. The total length of time for the water to evaporate out of the carpet depends on how wet the carpet is, the type of carpet, and the thickness of the carpet.

Many professionals use high-powered steam cleaners (hot water extraction machines) to deep clean carpets. These machines inject hot water and cleaning solutions into the carpet fibers, extracting the dirt, allergens, and moisture with powerful suction. In addition to steam cleaning, pros may use specialized tools like rotary scrubbers and stain removers for tough spots, along with eco-friendly or commercial-grade cleaning products tailored to the carpet type.

Once you’re done cleaning your upholstered chairs, here are a few ways you can keep them looking fresh for longer:

  • Use removable chair covers that are machine washable

  • Blot spills as soon as you see them 

  • Consider treating the fabric with a stain protector
