Also, I had asked for her to clean our house in sections so that each time she comes will be a one time cleaning until the house is done. Then we can arrange for regular cleaning.😊"

Oriental Rug or Drapery, Clean and 100% Urine Odor Removal Naturally, by PetPeePee Company. PetPeePee service is a strictly for, Oriental rugs, (all types of Oriental Rugs, Needlepoint, Antique rugs, and custom made Draperies. PetPeePee Guarantee: Permanent Dog or Cat urine odor removal. The principal reasons the members use of the service is the need to get rid of the urine odor naturally, without using all the toxic chemicals of the ordinary carpet cleaning industry! The odor free cleaning products we use are Organic uses Dead Sea minerals as the primary cleaner. Our System works to Perfection! That's why we grant a written guarantee on urine odor removal! We are proud of our work and it shows. Nationwide pick up by UPS and in South Florida offer Pick-up and Delivery

"I discovered petpee.com when I was searching online for ways to remove the urine odor from our 10’ x 14’ Karastan wool oriental rug. I had planned to clean the rug myself, but I was intrigued by the videos I saw on YouTube of petpee.com’s owner, Meir Martin, demonstrating how he cleans rugs like mine. I searched for petpee.com reviews and was blown away by the number of glowing reviews that had been written by satisfied customers. I knew then and there that I wanted to turn my rug over rug to Mr. Martin to finally get rid of the urine odor that had been building up for over 10 years. I called him and got a quote of $1079, which included shipping both ways, cleaning the rug, and a guarantee that I would not be able to detect any urine odor when my rug was returned to me. After getting over the sticker shock, my husband gave me the green light to send the rug to petpeepee.com. I think he was more interested in getting rid of my constant complaints about the urine odor than the actual odor itself! Mr. Martin walked us through how to pack up our rug for shipping via UPS, having us send him pictures to make sure we had prepared it properly. Even though we followed his instructions, I received an email from UPS 5 days later that my rug had been lost. I was regretting my decision to send my rug off for cleaning, UNTIL Mr. Martin worked his magic! I’m only the second customer in all the years petpeepee.com has been in business to have her oriental rug go missing, but that was to my benefit, because Mr. Meir knew exactly who to call (in Utah, of all places!) to track down my rug. Mr. Martin called his contact at UPS every day to check on whether my rug had been found and kept me posted each day for a week. On the seventh day after UPS reported my rug had been lost, Mr. Martin called me with the happy news that my rug had been found!!! Apparently some of the tape I had used to secure the label to the package was not completely flat and caused the label and bag to tear. Mr. Martin received my rug via Next Day Air from UPS on August 23 and began the cleaning process the next day. I loved receiving videos and pictures of the rug being cleaned and getting updates from Mr. Martin throughout the process. (You can see my rug being cleaned on YouTube by searching “Removing urine odor from a supersize Karastan rug.”). We received the rug back on September 2, and it smelled as fresh as it did the day we bought it! It looked so clean and new – worth every penny we paid to have petpeepee.com clean it. I really need more than five stars for my recommendation of petpeepee.com and Meir Martin. He is a true professional and the best communicator of any service provider I’ve ever encountered. I will be sending him more rugs soon! When I do, I will be VERY careful about packaging them, including using a HEAVY DUTY bag and taping multiple labels on the inside and outside of the package and making sure EVERYTHING on the outside is smooth and flat. If you want your rug to be free of urine odor, send it to petpeepee.com with every confidence that it will come back as good and fresh as new!"

Dycarp was founded in 1985 with a strong family support system and the training to provide service with excellence. Today, Dycarp employees maintain the same education practices, properly aligning technology and service with modern textiles. Our knowledge of proper cleaning methods for carpet and upholstery, as well as our installation abilities with all flooring products, allows Dycarp to separate ourselves from the ordinary cleaning or installation company. Our participation in community, environmental, political, and religious arenas allows Dycarp to give back, as well as assist in customer awareness.

"I know this review is a long one, but bear with me if you are seriously considering Dycarp for any of your carpet needs. Above all else when it comes to this company: DON’T BOTHER. This company doesn’t have time for keeping a tidy office let alone answering phone calls or customer questions. The office and carpet showroom were in shambles. Among the piles of junk were stacks of adult and children’s clothing, a child’s mattress, a bed frame, and many many unlabeled and unorganized carpet samples. Piles of paperwork littered the office and made for an uncomfortable experience. All work goes through Debbie the owner/manager who is never in the office or able to take calls. Common/ordinary questions are even too much for the highly incapable staff. On average it took 1-2 weeks to receive a call back depending upon whether or not you (the customer) called to remind them or check in. Expect to receive lots of sass from anyone that you speak too. We received multiple incorrect estimates throughout the 4 months that we dealt with them. In those estimates were mistakes that included the wrong brand of carpet, incorrect room measurements, incorrect customer name, additional carpet/padding that wasn’t needed, and we also received two estimates for a completely different person. For our job the work and payments were reviewed and approved by our insurance. Dycarp tried to dupe the insurance company by charging them twice for the same work. When we brought the issue up with Debbie, she told us, “We’ll just send it anyway and see what happens.” We said no to that idea; she sent it anyway, and our insurance noticed. This company is completely dishonest and untrustworthy. On countless occasions we were told emails would be sent immediately or had already been sent, never to receive them. When we would call back about the nonexistent email several hours later, they would magically “resend it” in a brand new email (no resending the old one they never sent) and only then would it show up. We gave this company so many chances they truly didn’t deserve when ultimately, they decided to stop working with us. Why? Because our insurance sent them a check and for two weeks we called to see if they had received it. Our insurance told us the check had cleared, but Dycarp maintained that they had never received it. Our insurance needed Dycarp to look into their bank statements immediately to make sure they hadn’t in fact cashed the checks, as if they had not it could be a matter of fraud. Instead of showing any concern or urgency, or attempting to look into the matter any further, after a full day of trying to reach Debbie, she only returned our call when we said that we would come into the office to speak face to face. It was during this call back at 30 minutes before the office closed that she told us we spoke to her staff “unpleasantly.” We told her we had waited a full week, let alone the full current day, and were understandably upset but nothing more when speaking to her employees. She then told us that we called too much, and she didn’t like the way our insurance approved of our claim. And that was that. The end of a terrible relationship. I know this review has been a long one, but I leave it for good reason. I worry that a family will be put into a position like ours. Did I mention that we have gone a month without carpet or carpet pad in our master bedroom and stairs landing? If you don’t want to be the next negative review left for this company, do yourself a favor and don’t let a single person from Dycarp into your home for an estimate. The time and work that you put into your own carpet needs will be more than they are ever willing to do in office."

"Carey was fantastic. We only were looking to get a quote on some draining of our sinks, but he happened to be available. So, when he stopped by, it was very surprising how quickly he was able to assess the issues, and fix them. He also fixed low pressure in our shower. I highly recommend Epes Plumbing and will be using them moving forward for all our needs."

"ServPro was great on the remediation side. I had a burst pipe, and they removed or dried the damaged items. The problem started with the restoration when their employee, Austin, brought Frank Singleton of Dominion Restoration to my home for repair. Austin gave him the highest recommendation. Well, the contractor put in floors before painting wallsrequiring the floors to be re-done. He failed to supervise subcontractors so that new quartz counters had to be removed and redone. A two-week project became a 4-month nightmare. When I complained, I was verbally abused, gaslighted, and bullied. The contract said he wouldn't pay for items purchased by the client, but then Frank asked me to go buy faucets, light fixtures, and microwave, I stupidly assumed he would be ethical and take those off the bill. He didn't, and further threatened to put a mechanic's lien on my elderly mother's home if I didn't pay him for things he never bought but instructed me to buy. So I paid twice."

Drapery Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you proactively avoid grime buildup and mold growth, you can clean the shower curtains as needed. However, if you forget to take preventive action, a good rule of thumb is to clean fabric curtains about every three months. And you’ll clean plastic liners and curtains every three to four weeks.

You should hire a professional to clean your drapes every four or five years or every two to three years if you have pets or it experiences heavy soiling. Light-colored drapes may require washing more often—every one to two years—to keep them looking fresh and clean. In between professional cleanings, it’s a good idea to vacuum your drapes lightly with a special drape attachment to remove surface dirt, pet hair, and other debris. Avoid using abrasive vacuum brushes on more delicate materials, though, like silk and linen.

Methods include hot water extraction, dry cleaning, and hand washing for delicate materials.

You probably have mold on your shower curtains because mold and mildew thrive and spread in warm, dark, wet, and unventilated spaces. Your shower is the perfect environment, especially the shower curtains, because they trap water in the folds and creases, plus they’re exposed to the most water spray. The best way to ensure mold stays off your shower curtains is to keep it dry so it doesn’t have a place to grow. Doing this can also help keep mold off your bathroom ceiling.

You can clean curtains without washing them by vacuuming them and then steam cleaning or having them dry cleaned. When vacuuming, use a soft brush attachment if you’re working with a heartier material, like cotton or polyester. You can spot-treat stains with a stain remover after vacuuming, and then use a steam cleaner to clean the curtains from top to bottom. You can also bring them to a dry cleaner to have odors, dirt, stains, and allergens removed without washing them.
