Spots and pet accidents

Tell us what needs attention

Spots and specialty stain removal

Some marks need more than the normal pre-spray and cleaning. We assess the stain and fiber, then explain whether a separate specialty treatment is worthwhile.

If normal cleaning removes the spot, there is no specialty stain charge.

If we can't remove the stain with specialty treatment, we waive only that spot's $25 specialty-treatment fee. Partial improvement alone isn't removal. Normal cleaning charges and the applicable visit minimum still apply. Pet and odor treatments are separate.

See stain examples, prices and limits →

Pet stains and odor treatment

A visible pet spot and an odor coming from the backing or pad can need different work. We inspect the affected area and explain the treatment, price and expected result.

Treatment starts with finding the source, rather than covering the smell.

Green Clean Option: Available for suitable carpet pre-spray using Green Seal GS-37 certified Procyon Extreme. Specialty stain and pet treatments are assessed separately and may use different products. See the option →

What we clean

A shorter list, done properly

Hardwood and tile aren't on the list this year. Carpet and upholstery are, and they're done right.

  • Available now

    Green Clean Option

    Available using Green Seal GS-37 certified Procyon Extreme liquid pre-spray, where suitable for your carpet and cleaning needs. We confirm the product and method after inspecting the work.

    Explore the option →
  • Carpet cleaning

    From $50 a room

    We inspect and pre-vacuum, then use pre-spray, suitable agitation, hot-water extraction and a material-appropriate rinse. Dry passes recover more moisture before we finish.

  • Upholstery

    Sofas from $150

    Sofas, sectionals, chairs and mattresses. We test the fiber and the color first, because a microfiber sofa and a linen one want completely different chemistry.

  • Pet accidents can reach the backing and pad. We inspect the affected area, choose a treatment for what we find, and explain when cleaning alone may not solve the odor.

  • Carpet protector

    $25 a standard room

    Applied after cleaning to add soil resistance and give many spills more time to be blotted. It is not waterproofing or a stain-proof guarantee, and we'll say when it isn't worth it.

How it's done

Six steps, with dry soil removed first

We inspect the material, vacuum before wet cleaning, then match the treatment and rinse to the carpet in front of us.

  1. We walk it with you first

    We inspect the fiber and condition, test colorfastness where needed, confirm the work and price, and point out visible wear before cleaning starts.

  2. We pre-vacuum

    We remove loose dry soil before adding moisture. Your own quick vacuum is welcome, but it is not required for us to do ours.

  3. Pre-spray and dwell

    We select a product for the material and soil, apply it at the right strength, and give it the time its label and the job call for.

  4. Agitate, extract and rinse

    We use suitable agitation and hot-water extraction, then choose the rinse for the fiber and products used. We check the result before we finish.

  5. Dry passes and a final look

    Extra extraction passes recover moisture. We check the treated areas with you and explain any spot, wear or odor that may need follow-up.

  6. Furniture protected, aftercare explained

    We use tabs or blocks where needed under furniture returned to damp carpet, then explain drying and when to remove the protection.

Care between visits

A few things you can do today

Good maintenance starts with the material you have, not a one-size-fits-all cleaning recipe.

Vacuum before soil builds up

Traffic pushes grit into carpet. Use a vacuum suited to the pile and follow the carpet maker's care instructions.

Blot a fresh spill

Lift solids, then blot liquid with a plain white cloth. Scrubbing can change the carpet's texture.

Check before using a cleaner

A household product may be unsuitable for wool, dye or backing. Check the label, test a hidden area, and never mix cleaners.

Questions

The things people ask before booking

How long until I can walk on it?

Allow several hours for drying. Timing depends on the carpet, airflow, and room conditions. We'll give you a job-specific estimate before we leave. Limit traffic while the carpet is damp, use clean socks if you need to cross it, and be careful where damp carpet meets a hard floor. We make dry passes after extraction and discuss airflow for your home. If any area still feels damp at about 12 hours, contact Kevin. Contact him sooner if carpet feels soggy or an odor gets worse.

Do you move the furniture?

Please pick up loose items and small breakables before we arrive. We'll review any furniture that may need moving during the walk-through and agree on what can be handled safely for your appointment. Large or heavy items are not assumed to be part of the cleaning.

Will the stains come back?

Sometimes an old spill extends below the visible carpet fibers into the backing or pad. Cleaning can re-wet that hidden material, and as the carpet dries, it can move back to the surface. That's called wicking. If the same original treated spot reappears, contact us within 30 days and we'll inspect and re-treat it once at no charge.

Can you get pet urine out?

We assess the contamination before recommending treatment. Some accidents affect the surface; others reach the backing or pad and need separate work. Urine can permanently change the dye, and surface cleaning may not resolve a deeper odor. We explain the limits and confirm the price before treatment; complete stain or odor removal is not guaranteed.

Do you clean wool?

Tell us if you have wool. We inspect it and choose products and methods suitable for wool, its dyes and its construction. Strong or unsuitable chemicals, heat and agitation can damage it. Natural or antique rugs need a reviewed in-home scope and price; some rugs need specialist off-site care that we do not offer.

Will every spot cost extra?

No. Pre-spray, extraction and routine spotting are included. If the pre-spray or included cleaning removes a spot, there is no specialty stain charge. Additional stain-specific work needs your approval. If that specialty treatment doesn't remove the stain, we waive only that spot's $25 fee, including when the mark improves but remains. Normal cleaning charges and the applicable visit minimum still apply. Pet and odor treatments are separate.

Can cleaning fix worn or flattened carpet?

Cleaning removes soil; it does not replace worn fibers, repair abrasion or restore lost dye. Traffic, matting and pile direction can leave a carpet looking different even after it is clean. We inspect these marks and explain likely results before recommending extra treatment.

When can children and pets use a treated room?

Keep children and pets away during cleaning and treatment. We give you the product-specific re-entry instructions before leaving. Follow those instructions and keep off treated areas until the required time or drying condition is met; there is no universal re-entry time for every product.

Can I ask for help with just one stain?

Yes. Send a quote request describing the stain, carpet material if known, and any products already used. We confirm the suitable scope and visit price. A per-spot add-on is not the price of a standalone appointment, and the ordinary visit minimum still applies.

Do you clean move-out carpets and apartments?

Yes, where the material and building access are suitable. Tell us your inspection or key-handover deadline, parking, stairs, elevator rules and any entry arrangements. Keep electricity and water on: we need two available working outlets, an accessible working cold-water tap and a working toilet or sanitary drain. Allow time for drying before the inspection. Payment is due after the work and a receipt is provided; a landlord decides whether a deposit is returned.

What does it cost?

The full price list is on the services page. Choose your actual room sizes and treatments in the online booking tool to see a running estimate. The ordinary visit minimum applies before any eligible first-visit or promotion discount. We confirm the final scope and price with you during the walk-through before cleaning starts.

When and how do I pay?

Payment is due after the job is finished and you've seen the completed work. Pay in person with cash, or by contactless card or mobile wallet through Square Tap to Pay. If that isn't practical, we'll send a Square invoice for secure online payment. A receipt is provided after payment.
