"Great Job! Made my carpet look like I'd never thought it would again. I was surprised at how clean my carpet was. Matt did an excellent job. I told some of my neighbors and he made time to remove some stains they had on their carpets. They were pleased as well. I will use this company again and will tell other friends, family, and neighbors about Steam-Source."

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Our guide can also work for old tomato stains. If you’re trying to get rid of a lingering spot from spaghetti dinners past, you can skip step one and jump directly to step two. 

Pro tip: Allow soaking time for older stains. We recommend waiting at least 10 minutes between applying your cleaning solution and blotting it up.

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, it is possible to over-shampoo a carpet or overuse a carpet cleaner, which can cause more harm than good. Applying too much cleaning solution (oversaturation) or shampooing too frequently can damage the carpet. Potential negative effects include leaving behind a sticky residue that attracts more dirt, weakening the carpet fibers, and causing a worn appearance, which can shorten the carpet's lifespan. Furthermore, oversaturating the carpet can hinder the drying process, leading to discoloration, shrinking, tearing, and an increased risk of mold or mildew growth.

A wool rug can take between 8 to 10 hours to fully dry after cleaning, or even longer, depending on humidity, temperature, and air flow. The better the air circulation in the area where you hang a wool rug to dry, the faster it’ll go. It’s important to ensure that wool rugs are completely dry before you place them back on the floor. If the rug is still damp, it could grow mold and mildew.

Hydrogen peroxide can be an effective stain remover for outdoor rugs. However, it is not recommended to use for cleaning the entire surface of the rug as it is a very strong substance. If you’re battling tough stains on an outdoor rug, you can use hydrogen peroxide diluted with some water and dish soap to treat the stained area directly.
