CRI Seal of Approval Service Providers
The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) recommends choosing Seal of Approval (SOA) products and proudly recognizes Service Providers who use them. SOA recognition is tied to performance standards designed to protect carpet quality and support long-term maintenance.
Cleaning companies that use both a CRI Seal of Approval certified cleaning solution and CRI Seal of Approval certified equipment may qualify to be recognized by CRI as SOA Certified Service Providers. CRI encourages consumers to use these recognized providers to help ensure carpets are cleaned with high-performing equipment and solutions.
CRI also notes that many residential carpet manufacturers now connect warranty requirements to the use of SOA products. Choosing an SOA recognized provider can help you stay aligned with those warranty guidelines while also improving the odds of a better clean.
In short, companies listed as certified SOA service providers have met qualifications that indicate their equipment and products are among the best available in the market.

How far in advance do I need to schedule an appointment?
We recommend scheduling 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. If you need service sooner, we’ll do our best to accommodate.
How long will the cleaning process take?
Most carpet cleaning jobs take about 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the area, the soil level, and the services requested.

Drying time is typically about 4–6 hours depending on humidity, airflow, carpet thickness, and the cleaning method used. Ventilation and fans can help speed up drying.

What should I do to maintain my carpet after it’s been cleaned?
Vacuum regularly (at least weekly and more in high-traffic areas), blot spills promptly, avoid over-wetting during spot cleaning, use entrance mats, and consider a shoe-off policy indoors. Periodic professional cleaning helps keep carpets fresh and extends their life.
Do you offer any aftercare products or services?
Yes. We can recommend safe spot cleaners and stain removers for your carpet type and share best practices for handling spills and routine maintenance.
What types of stains are you able to remove?
We can treat many tough stains, including wine and juice, coffee, pet stains, blood, green tea, cooking oil, Kool-Aid, ink, glue, wax/gum/fat/oil, mustard, and nail polish. Professional stain removal helps reduce the risk of damaging carpet fibers.
Do you use eco-friendly cleaning solutions?
Yes. We use commercial green carpet cleaning products formulated with natural and sustainable ingredients to support safety for both people and the environment.
How often should I clean my tile, stone, and grout?
Cleaning frequency depends on traffic and location. As a general guideline: wipe kitchen and bathroom surfaces routinely, sweep/vacuum weekly, deep clean monthly as needed, and reseal grout every 1–2 years depending on wear. Always use cleaners appropriate for your specific tile or stone type.
Why should I have my upholstered furniture professionally cleaned?
Professional upholstery cleaning removes embedded soil and allergens, improves appearance, helps neutralize odors, and can extend the life of the fabric—especially in homes with kids, pets, or allergy concerns.
