How long does the carpet take to dry?
It usually takes from 8 to 24 hours to dry depending upon the condition and thickness of the carpet, and ventilation. But you can walk on it as soon as we’re done. I wouldn’t throw a party or anything but normal traffic won’t hurt it.

What furniture do you move?
We move things like sofas, tables and chairs. We don’t move dressers, beds, china cabinets, electronics, pianos and such. All we ask is that you remove breakables and knickknacks from the furniture you want moved
How do you treat pet stains and odor?
Because dogs and cats don’t sweat, their urine contains alkaline salts which absorb moisture out of the air. Thus, pet urine never really dries. It becomes a feeding ground for bacteria which causes odor, staining and discoloration.
Minor conditions can be handled with a combination of germicidal and enzyme surface treatments, and enzyme injections into the padding.
Major conditions usually require pad replacement and floor treatment in addition to treating the carpet.
Does Scotchguard really work?
Simply put, YES.. But Fabric protectors won’t prevent your carpet from getting dirty. Their purpose is to protect your carpet from permanent stains and prolong the life of the fabric, which they do very well if properly applied.
