Q: What time of year is best for carpet cleaning?

• <div><p>Spring and fall are the best seasons to clean your carpet because of the mud and leaves that tend to get tracked into the house. However, cleaning your carpet during the summer can be convenient as you can open your windows to allow the carpet to dry naturally rather than running the HVAC system.</p></div>

Q: Why does my whole house smell like cat pee?

• <div><p>Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don&rsquo;t have a cat or don&rsquo;t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms. </p></div>

Q: Can carpet really be cleaned?

• <div><p>Yes, you can effectively clean and sanitize carpets, especially if you use an industrial vacuum with high-quality filters. Most pros will precondition the carpet and agitate the preconditioning solution for ultimate effectiveness. In some cases, even after thoroughly cleaning, you may notice that the carpet cleaning water still looks dirty. In that case, there may be embedded dirt or you may have mold in the padding.</p></div>

Q: How often should you have your carpets professionally cleaned?

• <div><p>The frequency depends on several factors, such as whether you have pets or children, the type of carpet, and the level of activity in your home. We recommended that you have your carpets professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. However, if you have children, pets, or allergies, you may want to clean them more frequently, like every 6 to 12 months instead. </p></div>

The tub to shower conversion by Mad City went great. Pete (installer) did a wonderful job. Demolition, Install and clean up, took about 7 hours, and looks great. I highly recommend Mad City for your bathroom remodel project. Richard Holm

They repaired my chimney and the exterior of fireplace, inside of the house. They did an excellent job, and cleaned up after. He did come a second time and did one more repair, which was not part of the contract, and didn't charge me. Very professional and friendly.
