Carpet Cleaning FAQs

Q  Is this safe for my pets or children?
A We do not use dangerous chemicals but you will want to wait until carpets are dry before allowing children and pets to walk or lay on the carpets. Their skin may become irritated from the slightly acidic moisture. Treatment is to simple rinse the exposed skin, so no worries.
Q Do I need to move furniture before the cleaning appointment?
A We do not move heavy, fragile, expensive or electronic furniture. We do not move personal items or smalls. Please have the rooms ready to clean prior to our arrival.
Q How soon can I walk on the carpets after they have been cleaned?
A While the carpets may be slightly damp after cleaning, they are safe to walk on with clean, dry, or shoe-covered feet. We recommend limiting foot traffic until the carpets are fully dry to prevent re-soiling. Be careful not to slip when exiting the carpet onto a hard surface.
Q Do you offer any additional services apart from carpet cleaning?
A In addition to carpet cleaning, we offer a range of services including upholstery cleaning, area rug cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, and more to help you maintain a clean and healthy home environment.
Q  How long does the carpet cleaning process take?
A The duration of the cleaning process depends on factors such as the size of the area being cleaned and the extent of soiling. On average, carpet cleaning appointments typically last between 1 to 3 hours.
Q  What carpet cleaning method do you use?
A We have every method available at our disposal depending on the situation. We prefer to clean using the encapsulation chemical method because it uses a lot less water to accomplish a great clean.

We always follow up encapsulation with several dry bonnet passes to dry the carpet and extract the dirt from the carpet immediately.

Q  How much will carpet cleaning cost?
A Prices vary depending on size of rooms, condition of carpets and add-on selections. Base rate carpet cleaning typically ranges from 50 cents per foot and up. An average small room would typically cost $50 to clean.
Q Do you give free estimates?
A We provide free estimates and upfront pricing.
Q  Does carpet cleaning include stain removal?
A Carpet cleaning and stain removal are two different things. If a dirty spot comes clean from carpet cleaning, it is not a stain. A stain will remain no matter how much you clean it. We do also offer stain removal at an extra charge.
Q How often should I get my carpets cleaned?
A The answer varies but typically twice a year. Homes with pets and or excess traffic may need cleaning even more often.
Q Will carpet cleaning cause my color to fade?
A No, a proper carpet cleaning will not fade the carpets.  Typically, If fading is noticed after cleaning it is only because something prior to cleaning caused the fading and was later exposed by cleaning.
Q How long does it take to dry?
A We don’t promise it will be dry before we leave but this is often the case. The expected drying time is about 2 hours depending on the climate at the time of your cleaning. We have air movers to help accelerate the drying process and advise you to make sure to provide air flow after we leave.
Q Are you better than your competition?
A No, we are not better nor are we worse.  Our competitors provide excellent service and cleaning.  The people of Northeast Wisconsin are quite lucky to have such wonderful carpet cleaning services available in the area.  If you can’t book with us for any reason please know you’ll find yourself in good hands with most any local carpet cleaning service.  Prices are average in this area too so there isn’t much worry about paying too much.

Be more concerned about the fly by night specials that seem too good to be true.  You know the saying.
