Q: How do you tell if a carpet has been professionally cleaned?

• <div><p>Looking clean is only half the battle. A professionally cleaned carpet should feel soft and fluffy, i.e., not caked down with dirt or matted from excess cleaning product. It will not have any unpleasant odors, since carpet cleaners go deep enough to eliminate the most sunk-in smells. It should also be free of stains or discoloration from heavy foot traffic. Keep in mind that, in some cases, your cleaner may not be able to remove every stain.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional carpet cleaning cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-carpet-cleaning-cost.htm">cost for professional carpet cleaning</a> is <b>$180</b> for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying as low as $80 or as high as $375 or more, depending on how much carpeting you have in your home and the type of cleaning you&rsquo;ll have done, plus any add-ons like furniture and upholstery cleaning. For example, bonnet carpet cleaning averages around $150 since it&rsquo;s more surface-level. However, due to its complexity, hot water extraction cleaning averages closer to $400. </p></div>

Q: How long does mildew smell last in carpet?

• <div><p>The duration of mildew smell in carpets depends on several factors, including the extent of moisture, cleanliness, and ventilation. If promptly addressed, the smell can diminish within a few days to a couple of weeks after thoroughly drying and cleaning the carpet. However, in severe cases or if not properly treated, the smell might persist. Persistent odors could indicate deeper mildew growth, requiring professional cleaning or, in extreme cases, carpet replacement to completely eliminate the smell.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean rugs myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small or synthetic rugs. Professional services are recommended for delicate or antique rugs.</p></div>

Q: Can I vacuum once a month?

• <div><p>While you might get away with once-monthly vacuuming in rooms you hardly use, it&rsquo;s not ideal in other parts of your home. Your living spaces will look untidy, and leaving all that dirt lying around is not the most hygienic. Plus, the longer abrasive debris sits on your surfaces, the more chance of scratches or damage to carpet fibers. </p></div>

They were punctual, dependable, and professional. They did an excellent job of cutting down 16 pine trees and grinding the stomps as well. Everything was cleaned up and hauled away. When they left, my yard was flat as if there were never trees there, only the round empty spots were evident.
