Learn what to expect from professional carpet cleaning

Q: Do I have to be home when my carpeting is being cleaned?

A: It’s not necessary that you be home while your carpet is cleaned. Entry to your home can be arranged when you make the cleaning appointment. To ensure the best service, we suggest someone be home before we begin cleaning to discuss specific needs or areas of concern regarding the care of your carpet.

Q: How long before the carpet is dry?

A: Humidity levels, carpet type, and materials used to make the carpet affect drying time. It can take from 4 to 24 hours to completely dry, but you may walk on it right after cleaning. Circulate the air in the rooms that have been cleaned with a ceiling fan, open windows, or air conditioning to shorten drying time.

Q: How soon after cleaning before children or pets can play on the carpet?

A: The carpet may be walked on with clean feet or shoes immediately after cleaning, but we advise you limit activity on the carpet to foot traffic only until completely dry.

Q: Do I need to move all my furniture before you arrive?

A: We ask you to please remove plants, lamps, and knickknacks from the area to be cleaned. We’ll move the furniture and return everything to its place. We move furniture that can be done safely by a two-man crew. Pieces we won’t move include pianos, electronics, china cabinets, pool tables, waterbeds, large beds, and dresses.

Q: How often should carpet be cleaned?

A: Regular vacuuming between cleanings helps eliminate the hair, skin, and other material upon which bacteria, mites, and insects feed. Our best practices recommend professional carpet cleaning every six months with truck-mounted equipment.

Q: Does carpet get dirty quicker once you clean it?

A: No. Residue left in the carpet due to low-grade cleaning processes causes rapid re-soiling. That’s why it’s imperative to use the best equipped carpet cleaning services – like Dynamic Carpet Service of Fort Worth – for your home or business. We use the latest technology and cleaning agents to provide a professional, high-quality cleaning.

Q: Do carpet protectors really work?

A: Yes. Carpet protectors are great products. Most new carpet already contains protector that was applied by the manufacturer. Foot traffic, vacuuming, and other activity cause the carpet protector to wear off and should be reapplied periodically. Ask our technicians about the product and frequency that works best for your particular carpeting and situation.
