Frequently Asked Questions
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Most carpets benefit from professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months, though high-traffic homes with pets or children may need cleaning annually to maintain appearance and indoor air quality.What's the difference between steam cleaning and dry cleaning?
Steam cleaning uses hot water extraction to reach deep into carpet fibers and padding, removing embedded dirt and allergens. Dry methods only clean the surface layer without addressing deeper contaminants.Can professional cleaning remove pet odors from carpets?
Yes, professional steam cleaning with deodorizing treatments neutralizes pet odors at the source rather than masking them, eliminating bacteria and organic matter causing the smell.How long does carpet cleaning take to dry?
Professional hot water extraction typically requires 6-12 hours for complete drying, depending on carpet thickness, humidity levels, and air circulation in your Granbury home.Why does grout turn dark over time?
Grout is porous and absorbs spills, soil, and moisture, creating discoloration from gray to black. Kitchen grease, bathroom mildew, and tracked-in dirt gradually stain grout lines permanently without professional treatment.What surfaces can be power washed safely?
Professional power washing safely cleans siding, driveways, decks, fences, and walkways by adjusting pressure settings for each surface type. Proper technique prevents damage while removing dirt and algae.How do recurring cleaning services work?
Recurring services provide scheduled deep cleaning visits—weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—covering dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and surface wiping to maintain consistent cleanliness without weekend work.What causes tile to look dirty despite regular mopping?
Regular mopping only cleans the surface while dirt, soap scum, and mineral deposits embed in textured tile finishes and grout lines, requiring professional steam cleaning to restore original appearance.Can upholstery cleaning damage delicate fabrics?
Professional technicians evaluate fabric types—cotton, linen, microfiber, leather—and select appropriate cleaning methods and solutions to prevent shrinkage, color bleeding, or texture changes while achieving thorough cleaning.Why choose professional over DIY cleaning methods?
Professional equipment generates higher temperatures and extraction power than rental machines, reaching deeper contaminants while trained technicians adjust techniques for different materials to prevent damage and achieve superior results.
