Frequently asked questions.
How often should carpets and upholstery be professionally cleaned?
Industry standards recommend:
- Residential carpet: Every 12–18 months
- High-traffic homes or pets: Every 6–9 months
- Commercial environments: Every 3–6 months
Regular professional cleaning extends carpet life and maintains indoor air quality.
Are your cleaning methods safe for children and pets?
Yes. Dynamic Steam Carpet uses professional-grade, non-toxic, and residue-free solutions that are safe for children, pets, and allergy-sensitive environments when properly applied and extracted.
Can you clean delicate or specialty rugs?
Yes. We assess fiber type, dye stability, and construction before cleaning. We safely clean wool, synthetic, and specialty rugs using appropriate methods to prevent shrinkage, color bleed, or fiber damage.
Will steam cleaning shrink or damage carpet?
When performed correctly, steam cleaning does not shrink carpet. Shrinkage occurs from improper techniques or over-wetting. Our controlled moisture application and high-powered extraction prevent this risk.
Can all furniture be steam cleaned?
Not all upholstery is the same. We identify fabric codes (W, S, WS, X) before cleaning. This ensures we use the correct method for microfiber, natural fibers, leather, or delicate materials.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Most upholstery dries within 2–6 hours, depending on fabric type, airflow, and humidity.
Can professional cleaning restore grout color?
Yes. Our high-pressure steam and extraction process can remove deep contamination, often restoring grout to its original color. Sealing is recommended afterward to slow future staining.
Can you completely remove pet urine odor?
We use enzyme-based treatments and subsurface extraction to neutralize pet urine at the source. Surface cleaning alone will not eliminate odors—proper treatment requires addressing contamination beneath the carpet and pad.
Will pet odors come back after cleaning?
If urine has penetrated deeply into padding or subfloor, untreated areas may cause recurring odor. We identify and treat affected areas to prevent reactivation.
How is RV and boat carpet cleaning different from home carpet cleaning?
RV and marine environments require low-moisture control, specialized equipment, and mold prevention techniques due to confined spaces and humidity exposure.
Can you clean upholstery in boats without damaging materials?
Yes. We use marine-safe cleaning solutions designed to protect vinyl, fabric, and specialty materials common in boats.
Do you offer commercial carpet and upholstery maintenance programs?
Yes. We provide scheduled maintenance plans for offices, retail spaces, medical facilities, and property managers to maintain cleanliness, appearance, and compliance standards.
What should I do immediately after water damage?
Shut off the water source if possible and contact a professional immediately. Fast extraction within the first 24–48 hours is critical to prevent mold growth and permanent damage.
Do you handle emergency water extraction?
Yes. Dynamic Steam Carpet provides rapid-response emergency water extraction for flooding, leaks, and unexpected water intrusion.
How quickly can carpets dry after water extraction?
Drying time varies based on saturation level, but professional extraction and airflow typically reduce drying time to 12–24 hours.
Is professional carpet cleaning necessary for indoor air quality?
Yes. Carpets act as filters, trapping allergens, dust, and pollutants. Professional steam cleaning removes these contaminants, improving indoor air quality and reducing respiratory irritants.
How does professional cleaning extend the life of carpet and furniture?
Regular deep cleaning prevents abrasive soil buildup, which wears down fibers prematurely. This helps protect manufacturer warranties and prolongs material lifespan.
