FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How soon can I
walk on it?
Keep pets, children and regular traffic off of the carpet for a
period of 6 hours. The homeowner may use the carpet lightly
immediately after cleaning by wearing white socks. Wait 24 hours
before removing Styrofoam blocks and foil tabs that are put in place
to protect the furniture and carpet. Some carpets may still feel
slightly damp for up to 18 hours depending on carpet and soiling
conditions. This is normal and will not cause any problems.
2. Do you move the
furniture?
Our regular pricing includes moving sofas, chairs, tables, end
tables, etc. Beds, dressers and heavier pieces are left in place
under our regular pricing structure.
3. Can you clean
carpet or rugs over hardwood floors?
Yes, we have our system set up where the backing of the carpet or
rug is not saturated, therefore no problem with wood floors
underneath. No problem with edges either, our rinse does not affect
hardwood floors. Oriental rugs and all woven rugs should be cleaned
in-plant.
4. Do you clean …
Berber
Absolutely, Berber is a weave, not a particular type of fiber.
Berber is simply a type of loop construction that my come in olefin,
nylon, wool or a blend. Berber requires a more thorough cleaning
than other carpets because the "flushing" action needs to take place
to get under, around and through the loops. Other companies that are
not as thorough as we are have a lot of problems with Berber because
they leave soil behind that "wicks" back to the service.
Sisal, Sea grass,
Grass
Yes, dry-clean only, unless last resort spot cleaning. Spot cleaning
and extraction can cause discoloration or water rings on sisal.

pressure, lower temperature and take special drying precautions for
cleaning wool.
