We suggest professional carpet cleaning at least annually. This frequency helps preserve your carpet's warranty and eliminates built-up bacteria, dirt, pet dander, and allergens from the fibers. Homes with high-traffic areas or indoor pets may require more frequent service. Routine maintenance preserves cleanliness and promotes a healthier indoor environment.

At Dirty Dog, we find steam cleaning and extraction to be the most effective carpet cleaning method. Our team uses a truck-mounted system that applies heat to break down soil and eliminate stubborn stains. We start by applying specialized pre-treatment solutions to the carpet, followed by steam cleaning and water extraction. This approach effectively removes dirt, bacteria, and contaminants, resulting in clean and sanitized carpets. While dry cleaning exists as an option, it typically delivers inferior results compared to our hot water extraction approach.

Yes. We use specialized cleaning solutions formulated for different types of pet stains, including urine and feces. Prompt treatment of these stains is essential, as they become increasingly difficult to remove as time passes. Beyond stain removal, we provide a powerful pet deodorizer that eliminates odors from carpets and upholstered furniture.

Yes, we can. We maintain a selection of cleaning solutions specifically designed to break down food and beverage stains, including a dedicated product for red wine. Similar to pet stains, immediate treatment of these spills yields the best outcomes. Extended dwell time makes complete stain removal increasingly challenging.

Yes. Our steam cleaning and hot water extraction process effectively sanitizes and removes numerous contaminants from your carpet. With our truck-mounted system, we apply pre-treatment and then comprehensively extract allergens, dust mites, pet dander, and pollen. This service proves especially valuable for those with allergies or asthma, as it substantially enhances indoor air quality.

Following our hot water extraction and steam cleaning process, carpets generally dry within four to six hours. Drying time may fluctuate based on humidity levels, air circulation, and carpet type. The carpet will remain damp immediately following cleaning but should be fully dry and ready for regular use within a short timeframe.

You may walk on your carpets immediately after cleaning if needed, though we recommend waiting until they are fully dry for optimal results. If immediate foot traffic is unavoidable, please walk without shoes and use caution to prevent potential damage or re-soiling.

Beyond carpet cleaning, Dirty Dog provides a full range of cleaning services. Our offerings include tile and grout cleaning, upholstery cleaning, air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and exterior surface cleaning through power washing and soft washing. We also deliver window cleaning services and hardwood floor refinishing. We strive to serve as your complete solution for all cleaning requirements.

Our rates depend on the particular type and scope of the job. We gladly provide complimentary estimates for any of our services. For detailed pricing information, please visit our website or Facebook page, or contact us directly for a customized quote.

Prior to your carpet cleaning appointment, please remove small items and breakables from the areas scheduled for cleaning. Relocate furniture away from carpeted spaces when possible, or establish clear pathways at minimum. Vacuum carpets if they have not been recently cleaned. Inform us about any particular stains or problem areas requiring extra attention. Provide easy access to water sources if necessary for our equipment. These preparations enable us to deliver the most thorough and efficient cleaning service.
