"Hired Hydro Clean for medium area carpet cleaning. Tech was on time and was ready to go! My husband is more aware of expert cleaning & was not satisfied with the level of cleaning we received. Lot of moisture left in carpet. I had not experienced this before & I was okay with the final result. I will definitely express my wishes/wants with next cleaning. EXACT!"
"We are very pleased with the job Dave did for us today. He was prompt and very courteous and did a professional job cleaning our carpets. Thank you for keeping the planned schedule as promised. We will recommend your company to our family and friends.

Stan"

"I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the whole rug cleaning experience with Residential Rug Care. My heavily soiled rug was beautifully cleaned, at the lowest price quoted on three Angi requests for quote, and picked up and delivered in a pleasant and professional manner in the windows promised. Many thanks for running a great business!"

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Stains can be removed from couches by spot-cleaning them with the appropriate solution. Check your upholstery tag below the cushions or under your couch for the right spot-cleaning solution. In some cases, you may also be able to remove the upholstery covers and throw them in the wash on a gentle cycle.

Steam cleaning is generally considered better than shampooing for deep cleaning carpets. Also known as hot water extraction, steam cleaning uses heat to penetrate deep into the carpet fibers, effectively removing dirt, allergens, and bacteria without leaving behind a sticky residue. This method also tends to cause less wear on your carpet over time and leaves the fibers feeling softer. While a steamer can be more expensive, the cost is often justified by the longevity of your carpet. Shampooing may be a suitable option for quickly fixing odors or cleaning minor surface stains. However, it can leave behind a soapy film that attracts more dirt, defeating the purpose of the cleaning. The best choice depends on your needs; for a thorough, deep clean, steam is the superior option, while shampooing can handle light, surface-level dirt.

When using a carpet shampooer, following the manufacturer’s instructions when choosing a cleaning solution is best, especially if you’re renting a shampooer.

Yes, it is possible to over-shampoo a carpet or overuse a carpet cleaner, which can cause more harm than good. Applying too much cleaning solution (oversaturation) or shampooing too frequently can damage the carpet. Potential negative effects include leaving behind a sticky residue that attracts more dirt, weakening the carpet fibers, and causing a worn appearance, which can shorten the carpet's lifespan. Furthermore, oversaturating the carpet can hinder the drying process, leading to discoloration, shrinking, tearing, and an increased risk of mold or mildew growth.

You can push or pull your carpet cleaner; it works either way. The best method for using a carpet cleaner is to push it as far in front of you as you can reach, then pull it back. Avoid stepping on the areas you’ve already cleaned.
