Quick Answers

Our Most Common Questions

The questions we hear across every service. For service-specific details, open the matching FAQ above.
Are your cleaning products safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use eco-friendly solutions that are safe for children and pets across every service. We do recommend keeping kids and pets off freshly cleaned carpet or upholstery until it's completely dry. If anyone in your home has specific allergies or sensitivities, let us know and we'll accommodate.

How long until I can use the room after cleaning?

It depends on the surface: carpet typically dries in 6–12 hours, upholstery in about 4–6 hours, and wood floors in roughly 30 minutes to 2 hours. Tile is usually ready quickly. Good airflow — fans or open windows — speeds all of them up.

What cleaning method do you use?

For carpet, upholstery and tile & grout we use hot water extraction (often called steam cleaning), which injects heated water and solution deep into the material and extracts the dirt in the same pass. For wood floors we use a wood-safe, no-sanding method that cleans and protects without harsh moisture.

Do you move furniture?

Our technicians move basic, lightweight furniture as much as they safely can, and we'll discuss your specific layout at the appointment. It helps if you clear smaller items — decorative pillows, throws, toys and small decor — before we arrive so we can work efficiently.
