Carpet takes a beating from October to May
Wet shoes, mud from the park trail, damp dogs after a walk. Grit does the real damage: it works down into the pile and cuts the fibers a little more every time someone crosses the room. A vacuum gets the surface; cleaning gets what is underneath.
Tell us this when you call
- How many rooms and how many stairs
- The carpet type, if you know it (wool, nylon, polyester)
- Pet accidents or stains, and roughly how old they are
- Whether furniture needs to be moved
Old stains and pet urine need an honest answer. Some come out completely, some leave a shadow. We would rather say that before we start than after.
Drying in damp weather
Carpet dries slower when the air outside is cold and humid. Run a fan or crack a window, keep shoes off until it is dry to the touch, and it is usually ready to use within a day.
Moving out of a rental? Having the carpet cleaned before the final walk-through is a common way to avoid arguments about the deposit.
