Trusted Mold Inspections & Environmental Testing in Omaha, NE

Every carpet is different. The pile or fibers or even the soil level can determine the dry time. But with good air flow (ceiling fan on, furnace fan on) and air conditioning or heat set to around 70 degrees, the average dry time is between 2-12 hours, and for sure by the following day.

We ask that you pick up small things and personal items. Also, any breakable items on the carpet or furniture you would like moved. It is also helpful if you can vacuum before we arrive or if needed, we can do that for you.

This is called carpet filtration and usually is more common on light or white carpet. It is caused by air flow through the carpet near where the wall meets the flooring by the baseboard or even a closed door. This happens over a long period of time. Carpet filtration is difficult to remove because the soil particles are so fine that they penetrate deep into the carpet pile and often into the backing of the carpet. With special effort, reasonable results can sometimes be achieved. To help prevent filtration soiling, vacuum and wipe the edges of the carpet on a regular basis.

We do not require you to be home during the service. However, we prefer that you are home so we can provide the best service possible. Sometimes we suggest additional services for pet issues, special stains, and may have questions about the areas we clean or furniture moving.

Every home and use of the carpet are very different. Depending on the number of occupants and pets our recommendation is about every 12 months. Also, some carpet manufactures do require cleaning every 12-18 months to maintain their warranty.
