Carpet and Floor Care FAQs
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
For homes, we recommend annual cleaning (every 6 months with pets). Commercial carpets should be cleaned quarterly to semi-annually depending on traffic.
Can you remove pet stains and odors?
Yes! We specialize in pet stain and odor removal using enzyme treatments that eliminate odors at the source, not just mask them.
Is your cleaning safe for children and pets?
Absolutely. We use cleaning solutions that are safe for your family and pets immediately after cleaning.
What areas do you service?
We provide carpet and floor care throughout Des Moines, Urbandale, West Des Moines, Johnston, Ankeny, Waukee, and all of central Iowa.
