Here are a few helpful tips to expedite the drying process of your carpet after it has been cleaned:
1. Open windows to let air in. The more air, the better.
2. Turn on ceiling fans to facilitate air movement throughout the house.
3. Stay off the carpet as much as possible while it is drying. This is especially important for the first 4 hours after the cleaning.

Fact: Waiting until your carpet becomes visibly soiled will shorten its lifespan. Why? Dirt contains sharp particles that grind into carpet fibers, causing matting and abrasive damage. This wear can make the carpet appear to look dull and dirty so by the time you think you’re due for a cleaning, the damage has already been done (unfortunately the wear is permanent). While regularly vacuuming your carpet to remove dry soil is helpful, it can’t remove all the soil that has accumulated and settled into the carpet like a professional cleaning can. The best way to protect your investment is with regular cleanings, typically every 6-18 months, depending on your lifestyle.
Did you know we are one of the first carpet cleaning companies here on the Central Coast? Our founder Harold (and my father) started the business back in 1967. While we've been in business for over 50 years now and have the expertise that comes along with that experience, our cleaning technology and practices are cutting edge to provide the highest quality service possible. 💫
Fact: This can be disastrous and cause permanent discolorations to your carpet. Many "big name" spotters sold at grocery stores or pet stores cause permanent color loss that may not become evident until the time you have your carpet professionally cleaned. For this reason (and many others), it's super important to do your homework before opting to purchase ANY carpet cleaning product. We want to save you the heartache of using an unsafe spotting product so we provide a complimentary home spotter when you book a carpet cleaning service with us.
Leaving furniture in the same place on your carpet for extended periods of time can cause permanent indentations in the carpet. Moving the furniture (even just slightly if you don't want to rearrange the whole room), can even out the wear and reduce damage to your carpet.
Is it time to schedule a carpet cleaning? Scheduling a cleaning may seem like a daunting task but it can actually be quite simple. In order to set up a cleaning appointment we just need a few pieces of information like your address, the areas you'd like to have cleaned, the square footage of those areas (not necessary but helpful to receive the most accurate estimate), any special cleaning concerns you may have (the wine stain from Aunt Sue, a pet accident, or that your carpet is made of wool), and date(s)/time(s) that would work for your cleaning. Let us know when you are ready to schedule your cleaning appointment. We'd be delighted to hear from you!
Never worry about dirty shoe-prints again! Using two mats is both effective and practical. The outside mat can be used to remove as much soil as possible from footwear and the one inside can be used for people to stand on as they remove their shoes. It's a simple solution but can help to make those clean floors last as long as possible!
When doing your routine house cleaning, try to do the vacuuming/floor cleaning last. This ensures that all the dust, dirt, and unwanted particles that may fall while you are cleaning other areas of your home will get sucked up before making its way into your carpet fiber.
