"I hired Triple Threat to clean a huge area that had been unsued for years. It was a tough job but Triple Threat made it look easy. The entire place was cleaned and shining. Customer service was great too! Would definitely use again. Highly recommended!!"

"I didn't do comparison shopping on the price, I just took advantage of the Big Deal which I thought was a good price. I will say that my carpets are 10 years old and I thought that they came out beautifully for the age of the carpet. They were amazingly responsive. They were prompt, professional, and they provided service over and above my expectations."

"What a great team!  I didn't call with very much notice at all but they were able to fit me into their schedule within about 4 days of my call.  We had just moved and left the house with a lot of boxes and things out of place.  They asked for a detailed list of what we needed done. Number 1 on my list was my sad looking bathtub and sink.  I thought it was irredeemably stained but just asked them to do their best.  They were able to remove virtually all of the staining!  It looks so nice!  They powered through my list and even managed to find time to clean the floors in my kitchen and bathroom - something I hadn't asked for because I was worried I was leaving too long a list.  Very nice crew, very thorough job.  I would absolutely recommend them!"

"It's amazing how the world sometimes works. Mrs. Grier is one of my long standing customers and her company immediately came to mind. Within a short conversation by phone, my Commercial Cleaning appointment had been scheduled for the following day. During servicing, stain removal, pre-treatment and deep cleaning were performed. You would never know that an issue with the carpet previously existed once they were done. They exceeded my expectations and I will definitely call on them again."

Carpet Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Do not mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia, acidic liquids, or other cleaners or detergents as toxic fumes result from the chemical reaction. Mix bleach only with water to avoid dangerous chemical reactions. Even mixed with water to dilute it, bleach can still be harmful to your skin, eyes, and lungs.

After a carpet cleaning, it's important to give it time to dry before walking on it. While you should wait at least one hour to prevent immediate damage, a general guideline is to stay off the carpet for 6 to 12 hours. For the carpet to dry completely, it's best to wait a full 24 hours if possible.

The exact drying time can vary based on several factors:

  • Carpet Type: Thicker or high-pile carpets may take up to a full day or longer to dry completely, especially if they are very wet.

  • Cleaning Method: Methods like steam cleaning, which extract most of the water, can reduce drying time, allowing for light traffic after 6 to 12 hours.

  • Environment: You can speed up drying time by ensuring good airflow, using fans, and maintaining low humidity. Poor ventilation will extend the drying period.

Walking on a damp carpet can re-soil it, leave footprints, and potentially damage the carpet fibers.

There are a few tips to keep your floors clean to help keep them looking sparkling until your next professional visit. Sweeping and vacuuming regularly will help reduce the dirt, debris, and pet hair from accumulating. 

Placing doormats at every entrance will help keep some of the dirt outside, helping to minimize the dirt that ends up on your floors. In addition, using the correct stain-removing methods for your floor type will help properly remove them without damaging your floors.
