Carpet Cleaning FAQ for San Francisco Homeowners

How often should San Francisco homeowners get carpet cleaning?
Given San Francisco's karl the fog: persistent summer fog from the pacific keeps temperatures at 55–65°f on the west side, most homeowners benefit from carpet cleaning at least once a year. Year-round fog moisture causing wood rot and paint peeling on west-facing Victorians often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in San Francisco most need carpet cleaning?
Victorian Painted Ladies and Edwardian flats (most common exterior) and Spanish colonial and stucco in the Sunset and Richmond districts are the most common home types in San Francisco and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How long does carpet cleaning take to dry?
Hot water extraction leaves carpets damp for 6–24 hours. Low-moisture methods dry in 1–4 hours. Running fans and opening windows accelerates drying significantly.
How often should I have carpets professionally cleaned?
Every 12–18 months for most households. Homes with pets, children, or allergy sufferers benefit from every 6–12 months.
Can you remove all stains?
Most stains respond well to professional treatment. Set-in stains, bleach damage, and permanent dyes may not be fully removable. We assess stains upfront and provide realistic expectations.
Should I vacuum before you arrive?
We vacuum as part of our process, so it's not required. However, a quick vacuum beforehand helps our technicians focus on deep cleaning rather than surface debris.
