Q: Why does my carpet turn brown after cleaning?

• <div><p>Carpets can turn brown after cleaning due to a phenomenon called &quot;wicking.&quot; It occurs when deep-seated dirt and moisture rise to the surface as the carpet dries because of excessive water or improper rinsing. Additionally, not allowing the carpet to dry thoroughly before walking on it can lead to browning. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a carpet cleaner on Oriental rugs?

• <div><p>Typically, you should avoid using a traditional carpet cleaner on Oriental rugs because the chemical makeup of carpet cleaners can damage the rug&rsquo;s natural fibers. You can, however, opt for a neutral pH cleaner, which can do a decent job of cleaning the carpet without damaging it. Always test whatever cleaning solution you use on a small, hidden spot of your rug first. That way, if any damage occurs, it doesn&rsquo;t totally ruin your rug.</p></div>

Q: How do you freshen musty carpet?

• <div><p>How you freshen a musty carpet depends on what&rsquo;s causing it to smell funky. Baking soda can soak up some smells, and vinegar is a natural deodorizer. These DIY solutions can lift out light odors. However, steam cleaning or hot water extraction may be the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-carpet-cleaning-methods-pros-and-cons.htm">best way to clean your carpet</a> when the smell is deeply ingrained. These penetrate deep into carpet fibers and can remove musty mold spores and pet urine smells. </p></div>

Q: What is ozone smoke removal and is it effective?

• <div><p>Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive and unstable gas that effectively neutralizes smoke odors through a process called oxidation. It 'donates' its extra oxygen molecule to the organic compounds causing the smell, altering their structure and eliminating the odor, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. This method can be effective on building materials and furniture. However, because improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health, this treatment is best left to a professional.</p></div>

Q: How long can the smell of pee last?

• <div><p>With a thorough cleaning, the smell of pet pee may dissipate within about 15 minutes, although in many cases, it may take several days to stop smelling after cleaning up the stain. If you leave a urine spot untreated, it may take up to five years to stop smelling on its own.</p></div>

"Carpets were in pretty bad shape so I didn't expect a miracle. Considering the state of the carpet I was expecting spot treating which was not done. There were quite a few places that were not cleaned to include inside the closets. The edges of the carpet were also not cleaned well. Probably one of the biggest issues was that the carpet was very wet afterward. Going on day 6 now and they are still damp. I would chose a different company in the future.

"I Hired AAA Magic Carpet Care to clean the carpets in my new home. There were some small stains and an odor that wasn't desirable, The arrived on time, and seems professional, however, after they left, there was a mold smell that wasn't their prior to cleaning. When I called them to see if they would be willing to rectify the situation in some way, they told me they were not willing to do anything to help. Overall, they did not do a bad job, all the stains were removed, and with weeks of open windows, they smell has seemed to disappear.
