"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

No, there’s no limit on how much you can tip your carpet cleaning pro. If you couldn’t prepare for your carpet cleaner beforehand, you might feel inclined to give them a large tip for their troubles. However, there's no pressure to tip that much, and most homeowners typically tip 10% to 20% of the total bill. 

You’ll need to decide which cleaning treatments and methods are the right fit for your rug. Depending on the rug material, age, and the amount of traffic it gets, different treatments to consider include:

  • Stain removal: $10–$50 per stain

  • Anti-odor treatment: $15–$75 per rug

  • Stain protection: $1.50–$2.50 per square foot

  • Moth protection: $1–$2 per square foot

  • Wool treatment: $1–$2 per square foot

  • Antimicrobial disinfectant: $2–$3 per square foot

You should pick ozone treatment to remove smoke odors because it’s a high-tech fire treatment that removes odor molecules from the air in each room of your home. It’s better at getting rid of smoke smells than many sprays and air fresheners because it oxidizes the actual material that’s causing the odor rather than just covering up the smell.

Vinegar and baking soda can effectively remove old carpet stains, and there are a few common methods for application. One method involves applying them separately: sprinkle baking soda over the stain, let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes, then vacuum it up. Afterward, blot the area with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Another method combines the ingredients on the stain to create a foaming reaction that helps lift it. To do this, pour a generous layer of dry baking soda over the stain. Then, in a spray bottle, mix distilled white vinegar with warm water and a few drops of dish soap, and spray this solution over the baking soda. Let the mixture sit for several hours until dry, then wipe or vacuum up the residue and blot the area with a clean towel. You can repeat the process if the stain persists.

The difficulty of cleaning a wool rug will depend on how dirty it is in the first place. For instance, if a wool rug has a build up of stains, this will add to the labor required to clean it. However, cleaning wool rugs should be pretty easy overall as wool naturally repels stains and is a generally durable material.
