Frequently Asked Questions
Most carpet cleaners use hot water extraction or “steam” cleaning; they, in essence, soak the carpet with hot water and chemicals and try to suck up the dirt and water together. The problem is that it leaves quite a bit of the water – and dirt – in the carpet, which can sink in deeper. On top of this, it can take 24+ hours to dry.
Then there’s the Spinning Bonnet method – or, more accurately, a floor buffer. These buffers are great on tile, but because they scrub downwards, they can’t effectively clean carpets. As a matter of fact, they generally only clean the top third of the carpet while most of the dirt and grime gets pushed further into the carpet. Then they have to rake the carpet back up after they’ve compressed it, so that it looks presentable.
Carpet Cleaning Houston avoids the problems of both of these methods. Rather than using tons of water when we clean, we use carefully controlled amounts mixed with our powerful, but safe cleaning solutions. This serves to effectively break up the dirt and stains and still allows your carpets to dry in an hour. And instead of using downward-scrubbing floor buffers, we use machines with pile lifting technology that lifts dirt and stains up and out of the carpet. This leaves you with a deep cleaned, fast-drying, and non-compressed carpet.
Think of scheduling carpet cleanings like you would a dentist appointment. If you only go when your teeth hurt, you’ll end up with cavities, pulled teeth, etc. Soon you’ll have more fillings and false teeth than real ones. Likewise, if you wait until your carpets get really dirty, you’ll end up with serious stains, ground-in dirt and oils, and significant traffic areas. Instead, get it cleaned every 6-12 months. Just like regular dental check-ups, regular cleanings will help prevent serious problems from forming, catch any problem areas before they can get significantly worse, and add years to the life of your carpet!
There are a lot of those small carpet cleaning machines at grocery and hardware stores, and they can get some stains out. Keep in mind, though, that those carpet cleaning machines use a lot of soaps and chemicals that, while they can make your carpets look good, can leave a film on the carpet itself. This sticky film captures dirt, dust, and hair, which means those carpeted areas will get dirty again – and faster than before.
That’s the nice thing about going with Carpet Cleaning Houston. Our professional chemists have designed cleaning solutions that are not only excellent stain removers, but also don’t leave any sort of film. Plus, our cleaning technicians are experts in carpet cleaning and can get those carpets looking fresh and clean with a minimum of hassle for you.
One of the greatest things about Carpet Cleaning Houston is that our carpets dry in about two to four hours! That means you can be back on your carpets quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
Carpet Cleaning Houston’s basic cleaning system is safe for pets and children due to it’s safe, non-toxic cleaning solutions. These solutions are not only safe for people, but also the environment. Of course, they also do a great job.
In addition to cleaning carpets, we also clean upholstery and, in some areas, tile and grout.
The Carpet Cleaning Houston Cleaning process is extremely effective at getting rid of most everyday sort of stains – dirt, high traffic areas, even pet urine stains. Even for more tricky substances like coffee, sometimes just a normal cleaning will get rid of them.
Now, if the stain is more advanced – like ink or rust – or older, our normal process may only be able to lighten those areas. Thankfully, we also have a Spotter Kit available to help us get rid of the more difficult, persistent stains. Ask a representative about the Spotting Kit if you think your home needs it.
What you might be dealing with is a process called “wick back.” In this situation, stains have sunk deep into the pad of the carpet, whether from the original spill, or due to the carpets for being wet for more than 4 hours – which allowed the staining material to sink further down.
When the stain gets into the pad, the situation becomes difficult. Why? Well, think of an oil wick candle. The end of the wick is placed in the oil and then the wick naturally absorbs the oil and carries it up to the top of the wick. Likewise, when the dirt and oils are in the pad, the carpet fibers act as a wick, absorbing the stains and lifting them up. Thankfully, Carpet Cleaning Houston usually doesn’t have to worry about wick back, since our carpets dry about less than four hours after a cleaning.
Well, bad smells in carpet can usually be traced to pet urine or some sort of food stain – or, more specifically, the bacteria living off the stains that cause the odor. These little guys eat the staining material, breed on it, and product that terrible smell. Thankfully, we here at Carpet Cleaning Houston have a solution. Our amazing product is an bio-enzyme that will quite literally eat the bacteria – eliminating the cause of the odor.
Generally our carpet cleaning technicians will be able to move small furniture for you – like chairs and coffee tables – but they can’t move anything heavy or large. Anything like that would need to be moved before hand if you would like it cleaned under. Keep in mind, though, that we can always clean around objects and that we don’t need the room clear before we can start.
The quotes we give you are very accurate, unlike many cleaners. They’ll often quote you for a “room,” only to find out when they’re there, a room is 75 sq ft. and doesn’t include pretreatment. A lot of carpet cleaners are masters of this bait and switch.
An Carpet Cleaning Houston quote is per room, but we tell you the room size – which is quite large – and breakdown the other aspects of the quotes for you to give you a very accurate total. And since our total already includes things like pretreatment, something other carpet cleaners charge hidden fees for, you can rest assured that what you were quoted is what you pay – unless of course, you decide to add something yourself.
Carpet Cleaning Houston is proud to stand behind its five day redo policy. Although we are very confident that we can get our your spots and stains the first time, we’re always willing to come out within a 5 days of the appointment and fix those areas up for you that we may have missed.
