"Will has excellent customer service and is always on time he's good at communicating and letting me know what he finds on the rug if it's going to be an issue or anything especially since I have a pet. Will have been cleaning my carpet probably for the last 15 years and always does an excellent job. He's one of the first ones that I recommend When anybody asked me for a carpet cleaner."

"Richard was very accommodating working me in to meet my move-in deadline. The technician called me with the 1.5 hour advance notice I requested within the window of time they provide. The technicians were very friendly and took the time to answer my questions regarding the cleaning method they offered. My carpets were not visibly soiled so I was surprised when the technician showed me how dirty the water was. The carpeted areas smell wonderful after the cleaning."

"I have used Tony's Rugs multiple times for repairs due to a dog with separation anxiety tearing holes in an area rug. I could not be happier with the level of service and quality of work. I once insisted on paying him more than he charged me because Tony saved me from buying a whole new rug when I thought it was past all hope. I would recommend him without hesitation and he will absolutely be my first call in the future."

Carpet Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can rent or buy a steam cleaner. A heavy-duty steam cleaner costs between $175 and $250 at most retail outlets and online. You can also usually rent one for around $40 per day.

Most of the larger machines you can rent from a hardware or grocery store have a larger water reserve and a heating element. Both operate by moving slowly and methodically over the carpet. Whether you rent or buy a unit, you will want to stay off your carpet for at least 12 to 24 hours while they dry.

Some of the worst and hardest stains to remove from carpets include dark-colored spills like red wine, coffee, blood, and ink. These can permanently discolor the carpet, especially if they aren't treated immediately, and are particularly visible on light-colored carpets. Bleach is also one of the worst culprits, as it causes near-instant color loss that cannot be restored through cleaning. For most tough stains, if DIY methods don't work, a professional carpet cleaner may be able to help. However, for bleach stains, the best option is often to dye or replace the affected area.

Vinegar and baking soda can be effective for removing old carpet stains, although success may depend on the type of stain. There are two common methods for this process.

One method involves combining the ingredients directly on the stain to create a chemical reaction. First, pour a generous layer of dry baking soda over the stain. In a spray bottle, mix distilled white vinegar with 1 cup of warm water and a few drops of liquid dish soap, then spray this solution thoroughly over the baking soda. The mixture will foam as the acidic vinegar reacts with the basic baking soda, which helps loosen and lift the stain. Let this sit for a few hours until it dries, then wipe or vacuum up the residue and blot the area with a clean, dry towel. You can repeat the process if the stain persists.

An alternative method suggests using the ingredients separately. Start by sprinkling baking soda on the stain and letting it sit for 15 to 30 minutes before vacuuming it up. Next, blot the remaining stain with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, and then blot the area dry with a clean cloth.

Steam cleaning your furniture is a popular method used by most professional services. It calls for special equipment that uses steam and suction to pull dirt, dust, pet hair, pet dander, and other debris out of upholstery and other materials. It’s a great way to get out stains and messes gently without risking damage to the fabric. It is covered by the professional furniture upholstery cleaner’s rate average of $150 to $250.

The time it takes professionals to clean carpets depends on the size of the room, the cleaning method, and how dirty the carpet is. You can expect carpet cleaning services to take 30 to 45 minutes per room, but it will vary based on these factors. Drying time depends on the method used, but it can range from 6 to 12 hours.
