Why does my area rug smell after cleaning?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons your area rug smells after cleaning. First, you might have agitated dirt, dust, and pet dander deep in the rug during cleaning, which might smell for a day or two if you didn’t remove it all. Second, if your rug smells like chemicals, it’s possible you didn’t rinse out all of the rug cleaning solution you used. Finally, if you didn’t hang up your rug to dry completely, it could be holding moisture and allowing mold to grow. In any of these cases, it’s a good idea to defer to a professional for help.</p></div>

Will using carpet cleaner on a couch damage it?

• <div><p>It might be possible to use a carpet cleaner on your couch, but it’s not recommended. Some carpet cleaners contain chemicals that are too harsh or abrasive for the soft fabric on your couch. Plus, couches have upholstery codes that dictate what you can and can’t use safely for cleaning purposes, and carpet cleaner generally isn’t included in those codes. If you do decide to use a carpet cleaner, test it on a section of fabric that isn’t visible in case you damage it.</p></div>

How much does area rug cleaning cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-carpet-cleaning-cost.htm">Cleaning a rug costs </a>about <b>$2 to $6 per square foot</b> on average. An 8-foot by 10-foot area rug will typically cost from <b>$160 to $480</b> to clean. Hand washing increases the price to about $4 to $9 per square foot. A few other cost factors for rug-cleaning costs include the size of the rug, the type of material, the cleaning method, on-site or pick-up service, and your geographic location.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a carpet cleaner on a couch?

• <div><p>Similarly to cleaning a mattress, another common question is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-use-carpet-cleaner-couch%E2%80%8B.htm">whether you can clean a couch with a carpet cleaner</a>. Yes, you can use a carpet cleaner to clean a couch, especially if it comes with an upholstery attachment and you're using the right cleaning solution. Just like with mattresses, it&rsquo;s important to avoid oversaturating the fabric and to use products that are safe for upholstery. Always check the care tag on your couch and spot-test a hidden area before deep cleaning to avoid discoloration or damage. </p></div>

Q: What safety precautions do professionals take during cleaning?

• <div><p>Use of harnesses and ladders ensures safe roof access.</p></div>
