"Herbert from My Carpet Cleaning & Restoration Services did an excellent job in our Ellicott City, MD home. He removed mounds of pet hair from our carpets, vacuumed and then shampooed them. He took his time, and was very thorough. The difference is amazing. Our whole home looks brighter, and is clean and fresh. We will definitely use My Carpet Cleaning & Restoration Services again in the future."

"Rudy and his company are first rate. I have had area rugs cleaned in the past by others, but never had them come back as clean as with M&A. Their workmanship, customer service, and pricing are simple excellent. And they are very nice people as well. This is the only company I will use for cleaning rugs in the future."

Carpet Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

To effectively clean fine dust after construction, start by dusting high surfaces like ceiling fans, walls, and window sills, allowing the dust to settle. Then, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter on all surfaces, including furniture, carpets, and floors, making a second pass for thoroughness. Follow up by mopping hard surfaces with a damp mop to capture any lingering particles. It's also important to clean appliances, vacuum HVAC returns and supply vents, and replace the air filters. Properly ventilate the home to help clear out remaining dust, and avoid sweeping, which can spread the dust around.

The cost to clean an area rug is typically between $2 and $6 per square foot, meaning an 8-by-10-foot rug will cost $160 to $480 to clean. However, the final price depends on several factors. The rug's material is a primary consideration, with costs per square foot varying: Synthetic ($1–$4), Cotton ($2–$8), Sisal ($4–$7), Silk ($4–$8), Sheepskin ($4–$8), and Wool ($5–$8). Specialty rugs, like oriental rugs, can cost more, averaging $5 to $9 per square foot. Other factors influencing the price include the rug's size and condition, the cleaning method (hand washing can increase the cost to $4 to $9 per square foot), whether the service is on-site or requires pick-up, and your geographic location. A large, heavily soiled rug could cost $650 or more to clean.

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.

Yes, you can use upholstery cleaners on most couches. It’s always best to consult the manual and your couch's laundry instructions so you know you’re using it right and not causing any damage.
