Carpet Cleaning FAQs
Q: How much does carpet cleaning cost around here?
A: Pricing depends on room size, fabric type, and any extras (like pet odor treatments). Most Evanston homes land between a simple per-room rate and a custom quote for bigger jobs. Call us and we’ll give you a straight-up estimate — no hidden “surprise fees.”
Q: How long until my carpets or rugs are dry?
A: Typically 6–12 hours for carpets, and area rugs can take a bit longer if deep-cleaned. We’ll set realistic expectations so you know exactly when you can walk barefoot again.
Q: Can you actually get out wine, coffee, or pet stains?
A: Yup. Stains and odors are the #1 reason folks call us. We use pro-grade solutions designed to neutralize odors and lift tough spots without wrecking the fibers.
Q: What cleaning method do you use?
A: Hot-water extraction (aka “steam cleaning”) for most carpets — it’s deep, safe, and recommended by carpet manufacturers. For delicate rugs (wool, silk, Persian, etc.), we hand-wash or use gentle methods off-site.
Q: Are your cleaning products safe for kids and pets?
A: Absolutely. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions that won’t leave behind harmful residues.
Q: How often should I clean my carpets or rugs?
A: For busy Evanston households (kids, pets, lots of foot traffic), we recommend every 6–12 months. Delicate or antique rugs might need gentler, less frequent care — but they’ll thank you for regular maintenance.
Q: Do you pick up area rugs, or is everything done in-home?
A: Both! We can clean rugs on-site for convenience, or pick them up for a deeper, off-site wash. Handy if you’ve got something delicate or oversized.
Q: Can you handle specialty rugs (wool, Persian, antique)?
A: Yes — those actually get VIP treatment. We use rug-specific cleaning techniques to preserve colors, fibers, and value.
Q: Will you move my furniture?
A: Light items? Yes. Heavy/breakables? We’ll ask you to shift them before we arrive. If you need us to handle larger items, just let us know — we can work it into your service.
Q: Do you offer estimates or guarantees?
A: Always. Free estimates upfront, and a satisfaction guarantee. If something doesn’t look right after we’re done, we’ll make it right.
