"Great Experience from the very first phone call throughout the clean-up! I was very pleased with their customer service, communication, and professionalism. Communication is key these days with any contractor AND I am very happy to say they called back almost immediately, gave a very fair estimate/price for the job, and kept in touch with me for scheduling and reminders. Dwayne and his crew showed up on time, helped me out with post-construction/hardwood floor refinishing clean up (we had so much dust!), and did an excellent thorough job. I was a little anxious about my new finish on the hardwood but they were very careful to protect the floors and put me at ease. We were very satisfied and would highly recommend them for any type of cleaning project."

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can use a hose to clean an area rug. Before you do, it’s a good idea to vacuum out dust and dirt and use a rug brush to remove pet hair and other debris. Just be careful not to be too aggressive, or you’ll damage the material. Bring your area rug outside and wet it evenly with your hose. You can even use a pressure washer on a light setting if you have a new, durable rug. Continue soaking until the water runs clean, and then hang your rug to dry.

You should always use hot water to clean your carpets. The heat will help lift dirt and stains as you work over them with your carpet cleaner. Before you fill your tank, allow your faucet to run until you’re sure the water is hot and ready to go.

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. 

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 and unstable gas that effectively neutralizes smoke odors through a process called oxidation. It 'donates' its extra oxygen molecule to the organic compounds causing the smell, altering their structure and eliminating the odor, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. This method can be effective on building materials and furniture. However, because improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health, this treatment is best left to a professional.

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.
