"This a great company. I think they called the same day that I contacted Angie’s List looking for area rug cleaning. My contact was Christina, who was very helpful and just all-around nice throughout the whole process. We set up an appointment date and time, and I was sent email and text reminders so I knew exactly when the technician, Dave, would arrive. Dave was great too. He cleaned the area rug in our condo with minimum disruption. Our condo is pretty far from the parking area and he had a hose that made it inside. Dave is also very nice, so nice the we requested him for another carpet cleaning a week or so later. Both carpets were thoroughly cleaned. I believe the pricing was fair and competitive with other companies doing this kind of work. Next month I will be calling them again for duct cleaning."
"Great ptos, they cleaned 3 of my carpets. I had some 10 year old stains on the carpets and they disappeared.
The guys had to rearrange they living room when they took the carpets and they did it gently and professionally. the same when they put the carpets back"
"Residential Rug Care came to our place in Alexandria, Virginia with their Free Pick Up and Delivery offer. Their price was unbeatable from the two other quotes I received. Brown and Davka arrived on time, their tall van was clean, they were very professional and carefully removed our wool carpets from living and dining room. Both were returned with the stains removed, without fringe or stitching damages and the extreme cleanliness showed noticeable improvements in look and feel to the touch. Our first time using them and will refer to our friends also."
"I hired Sanders Home Improvement after interviewing several contractors. Mr Sander personally came to my home and addressed the situation and gave me his estimate for repairs (drywall, carpet and room painting). His crew finally started to fix the interior problem after our roof was replaced. They started with making sure the room was protected before fixing the wall and part of the ceiling. Drywall was placed and painted, then they painted the room, this took several days. During this time Mr. Sander stop by several times to check on the progress. texture ceiling replacement appeared ,he had his crew redo the ceiling to match the texture pattern."
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.
If you’re renting a carpet cleaning machine, the company should clean and sanitize it in between uses. If you’re concerned about cleanliness, you can ask the company about their process before you commit to renting the machine.
The drying time for a couch or other upholstered furniture after cleaning can range from 1 to 24 hours, with a common estimate being 2 to 8 hours. This duration depends on several factors, including the type of fabric, the cleaning method used (such as steam cleaning or shampooing), the size of the furniture, and the room's temperature and humidity.
To speed up the drying process, you can use fans, a heater, or a dehumidifier, and increase ventilation by opening windows. Rotating the cushions can also help ensure they dry evenly. It is crucial to wait until the furniture is completely dry before sitting on it. Using it while damp can trap moisture, potentially causing mold, mildew, unpleasant odors, dye transfer, or permanent damage to the foam cushions.
Yes, if you want to use a carpet cleaner to its full potential, complete multiple passes and water changes until the water comes out clear. If it’s been a while since you last cleaned, it’s common for this to take up to 10 passes or possibly more. Once the water runs clear, you’ll know all the dirt and grime are gone.
It’s not necessary to tip an upholstery cleaner, and it’s usually not expected by the professionals in the industry. However, tipping between 10% and 20% of your total cleaning cost is a nice gesture and a good way to show your appreciation. You might consider tipping if the cleaner gets a particularly stubborn stain out without damaging the material, or if they go above and beyond to clean an antique piece of furniture using special methods to keep your furniture safe from damage.
