It can take anywhere from an hour to two hours depending on how many rooms you are having cleaned.
We pre-treat the entire area for spots and stains which is designed to treat traffic areas and water soluble stains. Certain stains may require additional stain treatment such as wine, furniture stains, rust, paint, makeup, and urine, these stains we do usually charge for. We can remove just about any stain but cannot guarantee the removal of permanent stains. Red stains are very difficult if not impossible to remove and are considered permanent. Furniture stains are almost impossible to remove and are also considered permanent.
Dry time typically takes 2 to 8 hours, in some cases up to 24 hours, and depends on how soiled they are and environmental factors, such as weather. If it is humid outside you can speed up drying time by turning on ceiling fans and air conditioners. In cooler weather ceiling fans and heat will help dry your carpets faster. If its dry outside turning on ceiling fans and opening windows will speed up the drying process.
All the cleaning products we use are safe for the environment, children, and pets.
The less foot traffic the better but if you can't stay off the carpets make sure to wear clean rubber soled shoes. Do not walk on damp carpets with bare feet because the oils from your skin can transfer to the carpet and attract dirt.
We can move furniture as long as it is not too heavy or fragile. We will typically move couches, chairs, and small tables. Beds and dressers are typically left in place during the cleaning. We do ask that you NOT move furniture to the middle of a room. If you would like carpet under heavy pieces of furniture cleaned, we kindly ask that you remove these items prior to our arrival and into a room that we will not be cleaning.
We recommend, if you have pets and visible pet fur, to run a vacuum prior to our arrival. If you don’t have pets just make sure there are no small objects or debris on the floor such as coins, beads, elastics, or paperclips as these items can clog our equipment.
The Carpet and Rug Institute recommends carpets be cleaned every 12 to 18 months. If you have pets and or children, you may want to clean them more often. The longer you wait to have your carpets cleaned the more difficult they are to clean.

In some cases rippling can occur. This happens when the adhesive that holds the backing together absorbs moisture. Rippling should disappear within 24 hours.
Older carpet or heavily worn carpet may have damage to the dye structure in the carpet fiber contributing to shades in the carpeting that a homeowner may assume is dirt. We will not be able to remove or improve shading caused by damaged carpet dye structure or crushed pile.
