General Questions

The average drying time is about 4 to 6 hours, depending on several factors:

  • Humidity level in the air
  • Air movement and ventilation
  • Room temperature
  • Type of fabric or carpet

Note: The application of carpet or fabric protection will make the drying process take a bit longer. You can speed up drying by opening windows, using fans, or running your HVAC system.

We treat all spotted and stained areas with the most professional techniques available today and are successful more than 97% of the time.

Rest assured: we completely exhaust our arsenal of cleaners before we declare a stain is permanent. Different stains require different treatments, and our technicians are trained to identify stain types and use the appropriate removal methods.

Some stains that may be permanent include:

  • Bleach damage or dye removal
  • Permanent markers or inks
  • Old, set-in stains that have been there for years
  • Stains that have been improperly treated with DIY products

We use only the safest, most effective technology to assure not only your satisfaction but your safety as well.

We do not use any harsh chemicals or leave any irritant residues. All of our cleaning solutions are:

  • Non-toxic and eco-friendly
  • Safe for children and pets
  • Hypoallergenic and low-odour
  • Biodegradable and environmentally responsible

These are the same products we trust to use in our own homes with our own families. Your safety is our top priority.

We use the recommended method by carpet manufacturers, which is hot water extraction (also known as steam cleaning).

This method involves:

  • Pre-spraying with safe, non-toxic chemistry
  • Injecting hot water (90°C+) deep into carpet fibres
  • Immediately extracting the water along with dirt, allergens, and contaminants

This is the most effective cleaning method available and is recommended by major carpet manufacturers including Beaulieu Canada, Tandus Flooring, and Summit International. It provides the deepest clean while being safe for your carpets and family.

For homes: We use our powerful truck-mounted system. This provides:

  • Superior cleaning power and suction
  • Hotter water temperatures for better cleaning
  • Faster drying times
  • Better extraction of dirt and moisture

For high-rise buildings: We have a powerful portable system that delivers excellent results when truck-mount access isn't available.

Both systems use professional-grade equipment that far exceeds the cleaning power of rental machines or consumer-grade units.

We operate Monday to Saturday between the hours of 9:00 AM until dark.

  • Summer hours: We work longer hours (typically until 8:00-9:00 PM) to take advantage of daylight
  • Winter hours: We work shorter hours (typically until 5:00-6:00 PM) due to earlier darkness

For commercial clients, we also offer after-hours and weekend service to minimize business disruption. Contact us to discuss flexible scheduling options.

Service-Specific Questions

We recommend professional carpet cleaning:

  • Every 6-12 months for most homes
  • Every 3-6 months for high-traffic areas or homes with pets
  • Every 12-18 months minimum to maintain carpet warranties

Regular professional cleaning extends carpet life, maintains appearance, improves indoor air quality, and is often required to keep manufacturer warranties valid.

Yes! We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

If you're not completely satisfied with any aspect of our cleaning, simply let us know within 24-48 hours. We'll return to re-clean those areas at absolutely no extra charge - no questions asked, no hassle.

We stand behind our work because we're confident in the quality we deliver every single time. Your complete satisfaction is our goal.

Pricing depends on several factors:

Yes! We specialize in pet odour and stain removal using:

  • UV light detection to identify all affected areas
  • Enzymatic treatments that break down organic matter
  • Specialized chemistry for pet urine, feces, and vomit
  • Deep extraction to remove contaminants from padding and subfloor

Pet odour and stain treatment is an additional service that requires specialized products and extra time. We'll assess the severity during inspection and provide honest feedback about expected results.

Important: Older, set-in pet stains that have been there for months or years may be more challenging to remove completely.

Yes, we are fully insured and bonded.

We carry comprehensive liability insurance and bonding to protect your property, belongings, and peace of mind. In the extremely rare event of any damage or incident, you're fully covered.

This protection means you can relax knowing you're working with a legitimate, professional company that takes responsibility seriously. We can provide proof of insurance upon request.

Ideally, yes - we prefer that someone is home so we can:

  • Discuss any areas of concern or special attention
  • Show you the results and ensure your satisfaction
  • Answer any questions you may have
  • Provide care instructions for best results

However, if you need to leave, we can work with you on arrangements. Many clients provide access and return later for a final walkthrough. Just let us know your preference when booking.
