Frequently Asked Questions on carpet/upholstery care Q. How long will it take to do the job? A. It depends on the size of the job, but normally about 2 1/2 hours. Q. How long does it take for the carpet to dry? A. It depends on the condition and thickness of the carpet, the amount of ventilation, and other factors. However, you can walk on your clean carpet as soon as we are finished. Just be careful not to slip when going from the damp carpet to a hard floor! Q. What kind of chemicals do you use? A. We use cleaning products that are consistent with industry standards. The products are environmentally friendly, and OSHA and EPA compliant. All chemicals are used according to manufacturers recommendations. Q. What furniture do you move? A. We move sofas, tables, and chairs. All we ask is that you remove breakables from the furniture you would like moved. We don't move dressers, beds, china cabinets, electronics, pianos, etc. Q. Will the price change? A. The price will only change if you request additional services after we quote you the price. Q. How often should I have my carpets cleaned? A. Stain resistance helps keep most carpets looking good, by preventing most of the spots and stains that usually prompt a cleaning. It's a fact that a beautiful, clean-looking carpet can hide as much as a pound of dirt per square yard. Q. What are the damaging effects of dirt? A. Your carpet is harmed most by what you can't see-the grit deep down in the carpet. It wears away stain resistance and cuts at carpet fibers as they are walked on or where children play frequently. High traffic paths in your home will mat over time, because of fiber abraision. This can eventually lead to fiber loss. Q. How does regular carpet cleaning my health? A. For most carpets, the best cleaning comes from hot water extraction. It's the method recommended by most major carpet manufacturers, and used by professional carpet cleaning services. Continued, regular deep cleaning not only removes allergens, dirt, and grime, but can add years of life to your carpet by removing the abrasive grit that harms carpet fibers. |
