Carpet Cleaning

Carpet Cleaning

There are different ways of cleaning carpet which include shampooing and steam cleaning. Shampooing wears out the carpet and steam cleaning can work well, however most companies’ machinery won’t reach the proper heat and there will usually be an odor of wet carpet which will last for at least 24 hours or more.

Our company uses the most advanced steam cleaning equipment which hits the carpet at the proper boiling point, enough to kill most live harmful toxins such as germs, bacteria and mold spores. Our water extractor is the most powerful in the market to ensure your carpet dries as quick as possible. We use carpet dryers with one horsepower to completely dry your carpets. You won’t need to walk around with booties or socks while leaving your carpet dry like other companies. Leaving your carpet wet is a terrible idea for many reasons. Some of the most obvious are that it will attract more dirt, bacteria & mold. Also, a smell can easily develop if not dried quickly. Another issue that our competitors don’t consider is that the moisture will wick down to the padding, which can cause endless issues with your carpet. We like to apply the best scientifically proven methods for the best results in your home.

Equipment and machinery for cleaning your carpets and furniture make a world of a difference. We only use the highest grade of equipment on the market with the most technologically advanced systems. This will assure that your carpets will be free of not only dirt, but bacterias and mold as well.

FAQ

How much does carpet cleaning cost?

NYC professional carpet cleaning costs $0.50–$2 per square foot or $80–$150 per room, with most companies requiring a $150–$250 minimum.

Heavily soiled carpets or delicate materials like wool and silk cost more. We provide free estimates based on your specific situation.

How long does carpet cleaning take?

Professional carpet cleaning takes 20–30 minutes per average room, or 2–4 hours for a full home. Time depends on carpet size, soil level, number of rooms, and whether furniture needs moving. Heavily stained carpets requiring pre-treatment take longer. We provide time estimates based on your specific space.

Is professional carpet cleaning worth it?

Yes — vacuuming only removes surface dirt, while professional cleaning extracts deep-embedded soil, allergens, dust mites, bacteria, and stains that regular cleaning can't reach. It extends carpet life by removing abrasive particles that wear down fibers, improves air quality (carpets trap up to 40 pounds of dust and allergens annually), eliminates odors, and restores high-traffic areas. Most carpet manufacturers recommend professional cleaning every 12–18 months to maintain warranties.

Should I vacuum before carpet cleaning?

Yes. Vacuuming removes surface dirt, pet hair, and debris so cleaning solution can penetrate deeper into carpet fibers. Without vacuuming first, loose dirt mixes with water and turns into mud, reducing cleaning effectiveness. Most companies expect you to vacuum beforehand — it takes 15–20 minutes and significantly improves results.

How long does it take carpet to dry after cleaning?

Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) takes 6–12 hours to dry on average, up to 24 hours in humid conditions or with thick carpet like wool. Speed drying by opening windows, running AC or ceiling fans, and using a dehumidifier. Avoid walking on damp carpet — it re-soils quickly and creates slip hazards. Don't replace furniture until completely dry to prevent mold or staining.
