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!"
"Roger's Professional Carpet services is exactly that...Professional. I hired Roger to steam clean my carpet. He went over other services his company provides and I ended up getting my carpet stretched as well. Price was very reasonable. He was also able to do the job the same day I scheduled for the estimate. How could I refuse! I am very happy with his thorough work. Thanks Roger!"
"The team did an excellent job. My carpets look like new. Most importantly they kept their word and made every effort to accommodate me and work my small job into their very busy schedule."
"The service was prompt, careful, and skillful. I had 6 rugs cleaned, of varying sizes. After they were cleaned, one of the large ones had some places that looked lighter than the rest. The technicians came to look at it and took it back to correct the problem with brushing. The result was good and I am very happy with the appearance of all the rugs."
After a carpet cleaning, it's important to give it time to dry before walking on it. While you should wait at least one hour to prevent immediate damage, a general guideline is to stay off the carpet for 6 to 12 hours. For the carpet to dry completely, it's best to wait a full 24 hours if possible.
The exact drying time can vary based on several factors:
Carpet Type: Thicker or high-pile carpets may take up to a full day or longer to dry completely, especially if they are very wet.
Cleaning Method: Methods like steam cleaning, which extract most of the water, can reduce drying time, allowing for light traffic after 6 to 12 hours.
Environment: You can speed up drying time by ensuring good airflow, using fans, and maintaining low humidity. Poor ventilation will extend the drying period.
Walking on a damp carpet can re-soil it, leave footprints, and potentially damage the carpet fibers.
Vinegar is the most popular natural carpet cleaning substance. Mix a one-to-one ratio of vinegar and water to make a homemade cleansing solution. Don’t completely drench your carpet with it, but you can blot some on with a rag or spritz it on with a spray bottle, then work the mixture in with a brush, allow it to dry, and vacuum the area.
Yes, many professionals use biodegradable detergents and water-efficient cleaning techniques to minimize environmental impact.
Most carpet cleaning solutions are safe to use in the home. However, to avoid irritation and health issues you can look for a neutral, mild detergent, especially one that’s marked as nontoxic or eco friendly. When in doubt, always check out the ingredient list. Some cleaning options only use steam heat to clean with little or no detergent, which could be an option if you’re worried.
You can clean some mattresses with a carpet cleaner that has an upholstery attachment. Mattresses made out of memory foam or other foam generally should not be cleaned with a carpet cleaner, although many traditional spring mattresses can be cleaned this way. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions to be sure. If you do use a carpet cleaner, be aware that it will take much longer to fully dry and be careful not to oversaturate the mattress.
