Trusted Carpet Cleaners in Chula Vista, CA

The actual dry time will depend on things such as how soiled the carpet is, how hard or easy it cleans, how thick of a pile, closeness to beaches, even how humid the weather is. At N.F. Carpet Care we always include FREE with every cleaning our exclusive double drying process which helps extract extra moisture to help carpets dry faster. We also include a FREE fabric rinse that helps carpets to dry faster and to feel softer when they are dry. The drying process can be speeded up by getting lots of air movement on your carpet - which is something we recommend after every cleaning. Opening windows, using fans and on humid days, the air conditioner is a great help. The more air movement the faster it will dry. Usually carpets should be dry between 2-24 hours depending on how much air movement is provided. Some heavily soiled carpets may take longer. It is important to not just close up your house after the carpets are cleaned with no ventilation or air movement. This only traps moisture making it take longer for the carpets to dry.

It is not necessary to stay off the carpets for a specified amount of time after cleaning. But be sure that if you need to walk on the carpets that you remove street shoes or shoes that are soiled on the bottom so as to not get soil on the freshly cleaned carpets. We recommend shoes that you only wear indoors or to clean the bottoms of your shoes before coming in on the carpet. Some people prefer to wear socks. But use caution either way - floors can be slippery when going from damp carpets to hard surface floors and we don't want anyone to slip and fall. We do recommend that no rugs or mats be placed on the carpet for at least 48 hours to insure that they are completely dry and to avoid any color transfer or other discoloration from the rugs or mats onto the carpet. Also for health and safety reasons it is preferred that small children and pets be kept off the freshly cleaned carpet until they are completely dry.

We have chosen to use cleaning products that leave zero residue, designed specifically for carpets, upholstery and tile that will do the best job and yet are non-toxic, bio-degradable or earth friendly, natural and are safe for all of our clients and even our technicians (who are around them everyday!) For those clients who have allergies and other sensitivities we offer an optional anti-allergin rinse.

With every cleaning we do, we always include prespotting and preconditioning of all spots and heavily used areas of your carpet and upholstery. However, due to dye characteristics, pH effects, oxidation and other reactions, some stains may be improved but not completely removed. That's because stains are made by substances that adversely and sometimes permanently affect the fibers or dyes of your carpet and upholstery. Even though no company can guarantee that a stain can be completely removed, our technicians will do their best if possible, to improve it and if that is not possible they will discuss with you which ones we feel are permanent. In cases of bleach spots, red dye spots, ink spots, or gum spots, many of those can be taken care of with optional services. We can do red dye removal, ink removal (when not previously spotted), gum removal and even spot dyeing of some types of carpet. For stains with no other options, we can also surgically remove (as in patch) the offensive area and replace with an unstained piece of carpet that you provide.
