"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."

"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."
You should aim to have your floors professionally deep cleaned once or twice per year. A deep clean service can remove set-in stains, clean grout between tiles, address water spots or discoloration on wood floors, and make your floors look new again. For households with children, pets, or severe allergies, consider increasing the frequency to four times per year (quarterly). It's also important to perform regular cleaning, such as vacuuming and mopping, in between professional services.
The best way to deep clean a carpet yourself is to buy or rent a carpet steam cleaner. First, spot-clean the carpet to pre-treat any stains, then vacuum to remove any lingering dirt or debris. Next, use the carpet cleaner across the room, repeating as needed for heavily soiled areas. Let the carpet dry thoroughly before walking on it—this could take a full day, depending on your home’s humidity level and air circulation.
Some of the worst and hardest stains to remove from carpets include dark-colored spills like red wine, coffee, blood, and ink. These can permanently discolor the carpet, especially if they aren't treated immediately, and are particularly visible on light-colored carpets. Bleach is also one of the worst culprits, as it causes near-instant color loss that cannot be restored through cleaning. For most tough stains, if DIY methods don't work, a professional carpet cleaner may be able to help. However, for bleach stains, the best option is often to dye or replace the affected area.
Vinegar is acidic and makes a great cleaning agent for many items throughout the house, including some upholstery. It should not be used for any upholstery with the code S or X. It can be used for W labels. To use a vinegar solution, mix equal parts water and vinegar and blot the stain using a gentle circular motion with a clean microfibre cloth and then allow to dry completely. As with any DIY solution, test a small and inconspicuous section first.
A carpet cleaner uses steam to penetrate the fibers of your carpet and remove dirt, while a carpet shampooer uses a detergent to clean the carpet’s surface. These are both efficient methods of cleaning your carpet, but steam cleaners do a better job of sanitizing the surface of the carpet.
