Frequently Asked Carpet Cleaning Questions:

Q: How long does it take to clean the average house?
A: The average house takes about 3 to 4 hours to clean depending on how soiled the carpet is, and the amount of furniture being moved.

Q: How long does it take for the carpets to dry?
A: The dry time depends on several factors including the method of cleaning used, the air temperature and humidity, and air movement in the room. The carpet professional will give you some estimate of dry time when completing the post cleaning inspection.

Q: What is causing the lighter spots in the carpet?
A: There are a number of causes. One possible cause is chlorine bleach. Be careful of the disinfectant sprays that contain chlorine bleach. Even a fine mist landing on the carpet can permanently alter the color of the carpet. Another possible cause is a bleaching effect from contact with topical acne medicine. Skin treated with acne medicine, on hands that have applied acne medicine that touch the carpet can leave a small amount of the medicine which will bleach the color from the carpet.

Q: Why do some spots return even after a professional cleaning?
A: If contaminants have absorbed into the carpet backing or the pad, spots can resurface overtime by wicking or migrating up through the carpet fibers, especially when the spot is moistened.

Q: Why has the carpet turned a dark gray around the edge of the room?
A: The dark gray is called filtration soil. This situation occurs when dust and airborne pollutants accumulate on the carpet face fibers as air flows by convection in the room. The condition is more obvious on lighter colored carpets. Filtration soil may appear along baseboards, under doors, along the edge of stairs. Depending on air quality and air movement, filtration soil may appear quickly or develop over a long time.

Q: Is there any way to remove filtration soil?
A: There is no one cleaning technique that is recommended. Removal of the contaminants from the soiled area can be complicated and depends on the type of substance in the filtration soil. For best results, contact a cleaning professional.

Q: How is the carpet protected from the stain in my wood furniture or rusting of metal feet when the carpet is damp?
A: The furniture will be moved during the cleaning process, then replaced and tabbed with Styrofoam blocks after the cleaning.
