FAQ's

Here are some of the questions we normally get:

How much does carpet cleaning cost?

Normal residential carpet cleaning pricing is based on number of areas.  We will shift some furniture around and go around the rest.  Larger living rooms and stairs count as two areas.  So, it's $180 for the first area and $30 for each additional area.  A common misconception is that doing only the pathways is cheaper.  

​

Commercial carpet cleaning is based on square footage.  The pricing goes from $0.25 to $0.35 a square foot.  

How much does tile and grout cleaning cost?

Tile and grout cleaning requires an in person quote.  The amount of work required varies a lot from job to job.  Figure around $1.00 a square foot for a general idea of cost.

How much does upholstery cleaning cost?

A normal couch will cost $180 because that's our minimum for all jobs.  Couch / love seat combos and sectionals will start at $250.  Accurate quotes for upholstery cleaning are easily done by texting pictures.  When people add upholstery cleaning with carpet cleaning, the cost of upholstery cleaning is reduced a lot.  

Will stains come back?

Stains can return during the drying process.  It doesn't happen too often because we take care to not leave the carpet too wet.  If it does happen, we will return at no cost.  Urine stains are prone to reappear.  

Steam cleaning vs dry cleaning

Steam cleaning removes more dirt but requires a longer dry time.  The dryer methods of cleaning are effective for maintenance purposes and quick dry times.  These low moisture methods are ineffective for removing urine.

What to do with urine stains?

Most of the time urine stains come out with normal steam cleaning and don't require an extra charge.  Urine stains are prone to return.  We will come back at no charge if stains return right away.  A lot of times people will clean the stains themselves making the stains worse.

Does the grout need sealing?

Sealing the grout is helpful if the customer tries to keep the floor clean.  So, sealing the grout is not required and is a way to save money. Most people have it sealed.  

How fast does the carpet dry?

There will be an inconvenience to getting the carpet wet.  It's best to set up a fan and leave windows open.  Dry times vary, but the carpet always dries the same day.  A carpet's thickness, amount of soiling, humidity are all things that affect dry times.   We can leave shoe coverings if the carpet needs to be walked on.
