"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Different rug cleaning companies may prefer different methods of cleaning for area rugs, but many prefer to steam-clean rugs and carpeting. Steam cleaning avoids using detergents and cleaners that can be sticky or contain harsh chemicals. Shampooing a rug requires using brushes to agitate and remove the cleaning agent from the carpet, possibly subjecting the carpet fibers to unnecessary wear and tear.

Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive, unstable gas that neutralizes odors by oxidizing the organic compounds it comes into contact with. During this oxidation process, ozone "donates" its extra oxygen molecule to the smoke particles, effectively eliminating their smell, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. While ozone can be effective for removing smoke smells from building materials and belongings like wood furniture, this treatment is best left to a professional, as improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health.

Do not mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia, acidic liquids, or other cleaners or detergents as toxic fumes result from the chemical reaction. Mix bleach only with water to avoid dangerous chemical reactions. Even mixed with water to dilute it, bleach can still be harmful to your skin, eyes, and lungs.

It’s best to have a pro stretch your carpet before having it cleaned. A loose carpet is more difficult to clean, but a stretched carpet will be fixed firmly in place once the job is done. Cleaning a carpet can loosen it depending on the technique used. 

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.
