Carpet Cleaning in Orange County: questions we get every week
Why was the $99 ad really $400?
The ad covers small rooms, no hall, no stairs, no pre-treatment and no furniture moved. Ask for the whole-house total up front; our cleaners quote it that way.
How often should carpet be cleaned?
Every 12 to 18 months, more with pets or kids, and before it looks dirty: soil wears the fibers.
Steam or dry?
Hot water extraction is the deep clean; low-moisture methods are fine for maintenance and dry faster.
Can ripples be fixed?
Yes, carpet can be re-stretched in an hour or two per room; it is far cheaper than replacing.
