Q: How long does skunk smell last in a house?

• <div><p>A mild skunk smell in your house can last up to three weeks, dissipating over time with proper ventilation. However, if you leave stronger smells untreated, they can last for months or years, becoming more difficult to remove the longer they sit. This is especially true of odors that have seeped into fabrics such as clothing or furniture or those in your pets&rsquo; fur.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean fine dust after construction?

• <div><p>The best way to clean fine dust particles after construction is by combining dusting with vacuuming. Start up high by dusting ceiling fans, walls, window sills, countertops, and other surfaces throughout your house. Once the dust has settled, go over all of your floors with a high-powered vacuum, giving a little extra attention to the carpeting. Make a second pass with your vacuum, and then mop all hard surfaces to get any remaining dust. Don&rsquo;t forget to vacuum your HVAC returns and supply vents and swap out the filters while you&rsquo;re there.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean your carpet?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-professionally-clean-carpet.htm">how often to clean your carpet</a>, most homes should aim for <b>once a year</b>, though households with low foot or pet traffic may be able to stretch this to every 6 months. In any case, the optimal time to schedule is after the rainy or snowy season when moisture and mud are less likely to be tracked indoors. Staying on top of this routine will remove dirt and buildup before they can become deep-set stains and odors. </p></div>

Q: How do I find the source of the moldy smell in my house?

• <div><p>You can find the smell of mold in your house in two ways: following your nose, and using common sense tactics like looking anywhere there&rsquo;s water first. Mold cannot form in a completely dry environment, which is why you see mold much more often under kitchen sinks than on garage floors. If you have looked everywhere and still can&rsquo;t find the source, <b>hire a pro</b>, because you may have mold in your walls.</p></div>

Q: What should not be done when cleaning upholstered furniture?

• <div><p>When cleaning upholstery, you want to avoid harsh scrubbing, oversaturating the fabric, and using the wrong kind of cleaner for the fabric you&rsquo;re cleaning. Any of these can cause significant damage to the upholstery, including rips, stains, faded fabric, mildew, or discoloration. Be methodical and use a light touch when cleaning upholstered furniture to preserve the life and look of the upholstery. </p></div>

Nevin is a professional, very courteous and knows what he’s doing. This is the second time that we used Red Hot Carpet Cleaning and are completely satisfied with the results. Will definitely use Red Hot Carpet Cleaning again.

I love this company. They arrive on time and get my carpets cleaned quickly and well. I love their dry process so you do not have to wait hours for your carpet to dry. I have used them for several years and will continue to use them as long as I need my carpets cleaned and protected!

Terrible job... surface cleaning in kitchen and bath were ok... same with surface dusting... but cobwebs were all around in corners of the rooms, and no furniture was moved.... The cleaning crew showed more or less on time... the carpet crew was many HOURS late... In order to vacuum, let alone...

Did a great job on the couch and loveseat. Very pleased and they look like new. Carpet cleaning was good but wished they had cleaned under a basket on the carpet that could have been moved easily

The work done was very professional and they were very competent. It took about 3 and a half hours to complete all of the work. That included moving furniture as well as the carpet cleaning. This company tops any other carpet cleaners we've ever used.

Lani arrived on time and spent close to an hour cleaning carpets. We had a stubborn oil based stain that he spent a long time working on for us. The carpets looked and smelled great. He offered to return at no charge if any of the stains came back.

Everything turned out great. I would use him again. He made sure to keep my carpets clean, he put a tarp down, and explained everything he was doing. He was very nice.

The sofa and easy chair turned out beautifully--they look just as they did when they were new. For the family room, Doug explained to me that that degree of urine spotting was beyond industry standards for what was feasible to treat. He said that he could treat the carpet, but he felt that the...
