Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that you may have some questions about our carpet cleaning services. That’s why we’ve created this FAQ section to answer some of the most common questions that we receive. If you don’t see your question answered here, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to help!

What method of cleaning does The Carpet Cleaning Guy use?

The Carpet Cleaning Guy uses the preferred method of most major carpet manufacturers, Hot Water Extraction. The Carpet Cleaning Guy uses one of the most powerful truck mounted steam machines on the market today called THE BUTLER SYSTEM. This machine not only allows us to perform a more thorough cleaning, but reduces drying times by extracting over 95% of the water used to clean.

How long will it take for my carpets to dry?
Because of the power of the Truck Mounted System The Carpet Cleaning Guy uses, drying time is typically 1 to 3 hours. Drying times can be longer if the cleaned area was a heavily soiled, stained area and required extensive cleaning. In addition, temperature and humidity will play a factor in drying times. The Carpet Cleaning Guy will make drying recommendations based on these factors.
Do you move furniture?
YES, included in our service is moving most furniture. Due to Liability reasons, we will not move China cabinets loaded with your families fragile glass wear. We also do not move home theatre systems. Together, we will determine which pieces can be moved during our pre-cleaning walkthrough.
Are the solutions used safe for my kids and pets?
Yes, the solutions we use to clean are completely safe for pets and children. If there are extenuating circumstances that require the use of a solution for extreme cleaning, it is discussed with the homeowner prior to use. Of sole priority is to provide a healthy and safe home for our customers.
Is stain removal, pretreatment or deodorizing an extra cost?
NO! The Carpet Cleaning Guy has taken out the “Extra Charge” out of the Cleaning industry. These items are included in our standard cleaning investment
How often should I clean my carpets?

As recommended by major carpet manufacturers, carpets should be cleaned at least every 12 to 18 months using the hot water extraction method (steam). This of course is dependant on life style. A home with high traffic and or pets may require cleaning more frequently. Ask us about our maintenance programs.

What is the best way to vacuum my carpets?
The best way to vacuum your carpets is to use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. This will help to remove dirt, dust, and allergens from your carpets. You should vacuum your carpets at least once a week, and more often if you have pets or children.
What are some common carpet stains?
Some common carpet stains include pet stains, food stains, and wine stains. These stains can be difficult to remove, but there are a number of commercial stain removers that can help. If you have a stubborn stain, you may want to call a professional carpet cleaner.
How can I prevent my carpets from getting dirty?
There are a few things you can do to prevent your carpets from getting dirty. First, you can try to keep traffic in your home to a minimum. Second, you can place area rugs in high-traffic areas. Third, you can teach your children and pets to be careful not to track dirt and mud into your home.
What are the health benefits of having clean carpets?
Clean carpets can help to improve your health in a number of ways. First, clean carpets can help to reduce the amount of dust and allergens in your home. This can help to improve your respiratory health and reduce your risk of allergies. Second, clean carpets can help to improve the air quality in your home.

Second, dirty carpets can harbor bacteria and mold. This can lead to respiratory infections. Third, dirty carpets can be a breeding ground for pests, such as cockroaches and rodents.
What is the difference between steam cleaning and hot water extraction?
Steam cleaning and hot water extraction are two of the most common methods of carpet cleaning. Steam cleaning uses hot steam to loosen dirt and stains from the carpet fibers. Hot water extraction uses hot water and suction to remove dirt and stains from the carpet fibers.
What should I do after my carpets are cleaned?
After your carpets are cleaned, you should avoid walking on them for at least 6 hours. This will give the cleaning solution time to dry completely. You should also avoid moving furniture back onto the carpet for at least 24 hours.

Thanks for the follow-up e-mail. I am very happy with your service and the cleaning. The carpet looks better than I ever expected, like new!
Max, I hope I have the name right, was very knowledgeable, friendly and explained everything he was going to do. What I especially appreciated was the time he spent explaining and answering any questions. He did not rush through the job or he’s interaction with me, which is a refreshing change from the norm today. I will be happy to use your service again for my other carpets and will certainly recommend you to my friends.
