Finding a Carpet Cleaner

Although there are store-bought carpet cleaning options, many of these products simply can’t achieve the same results as a professional cleaning service. Instead of gambling with different products that may wind up staining your carpets, we recommend leaving your precious carpets in our trusted hands at KPI. We’re licensed and insured, and we have 27 years of experience in the carpet cleaning business so that you won’t have to worry about amateur mistakes.

Carpet Cleaning Prep

Once you schedule your carpet cleaning appointment, picking up around your house is a good first step to get ready while you wait for your cleaners to arrive. You want your carpet clean, so make sure any slippers, kids’ playthings, pet toys, and other small items are put away. You may also consider moving lighter furniture items off the carpeted area so your cleaners can do a thorough job.

Post-Carpet Cleaning

After your carpet cleaning service is complete, wait at least eight hours before walking on the carpet to avoid crushing down the fibers. Running your whole house fan is another good idea to improve air circulation and help the carpet get completely dry. Even if your carpet looks dry on the surface, don’t be fooled! Any moisture in your carpet can cling to new dirt being tracked into it, so don’t wear dirty shoes on the carpet right after it’s been washed.

Once the carpet is dry, you’re free to enjoy it! Luxuriate in the fresh fluffiness and relax in the comfort you can only find in your own home.
