How often should carpet be professionally cleaned?

Carpet manufacturers commonly recommend professional hot-water extraction every 12 to 18 months for homes, and more often for high-traffic spaces, pets or allergies. Check your carpet warranty, since many require periodic professional cleaning. Regular vacuuming between cleanings keeps soil from grinding into fibers and wearing them out early.

What can be cleaned?

Most soft surfaces in homes and commercial spaces. Some fibers need special care, so ask about anything delicate before it's cleaned.

  • Wall-to-wall carpet

    Homes, apartments and commercial spaces.

  • Area rugs

    Fiber type determines the cleaning method.

  • Upholstery

    Sofas, chairs and seating.

  • Spots and odors

    Pet accidents, spills and traffic lanes.

Why does textile training matter?

Different fibers react differently to heat, moisture and chemistry. Wool, silk blends and some synthetics can shrink, bleed or brown if cleaned the wrong way. The IICRC Master Textile Cleaner designation reflects advanced training in exactly those differences, and our team includes a Master Textile Cleaner.

Straight answers

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning: questions people ask us

Don't see yours? Call 515-216-4293 any hour and ask.

How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning?

Usually several hours, depending on the carpet, humidity and airflow.

Can pet odor be removed?

Often, though odor that has soaked into the pad or subfloor may need more than surface cleaning.

Can you clean when our office is closed?

Call and tell us when your space is empty, and we'll tell you what's possible.

Is carpet cleaning part of water damage work?

Sometimes. After a clean-water loss, carpet can sometimes be dried and cleaned. After sewage or floodwater, it's generally removed.
