Get matched with top carpet cleaners in your area

Whether your carpet cleaner is self-employed or not doesn’t need to play a major factor in tipping. Some larger cleaning companies prefer you don’t tip their employees, but if the cleaner is self-employed that isn’t a concern. Tipping isn’t required for this service, so feel free to use it as an appreciation for their service and hard work.

It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to clean smoke damage, depending mostly on the extent of the damage and the method your professional uses. Ozone smoke restoration is a popular option that takes just 24 to 48 hours, but you may need multiple treatments to remove odors. For major house fires, it might be a better option to replace smoke-damaged materials, which could take six to 12 months.

It depends. If a stain has been sitting on your carpet for a few weeks, months, or years, it’s going to be much harder to remove since it has had time to dry. Certain carpet cleaners can also dye or permanently change the color of your carpet in attempts to remove the old stain. If you have a stain on your carpet that’s a few weeks old and you’re unsure of the original cause, your best bet is to call a carpet cleaning professional who will have the right tools and knowledge to avoid making the problem worse.

They utilize high-grade disinfectants and follow rigorous protocols for germ and virus control.
