The average house takes about 2 hours, or approximately 20 minutes per room, depending on the size of your home, the furniture to be moved, the level of soiling involved and the extent of pre-treating required.

What do I need to do before the cleaning crew arrives?

Carpet Cleaning New Jersey crews are trained to carefully move your furniture. Therefore, we will take care of moving your sofas, tables, and chairs. Most large pieces, such as dressers, pianos, and china cabinets, can be left in place. However, we do recommend removing fragile items—like electronics, lamps, and knick-knacks—from the rooms to be cleaned.

Do I need to be at home when my carpet is cleaned?

We understand our clients' busy lifestyles. That's why Carpet Cleaning New Jersey offers flexible scheduling, including Saturdays.

However, it is not necessary for you to be home while your carpet is cleaned. All of our crews provide services you can trust!

Can I clean my carpets myself?

Some homeowners may choose to clean their carpets and upholstery themselves. However, without proper training or an expert familiarity of the different types of solutions and treatments available, the results may not be as expected. Often times the companies who rent out equipment do not provide the most powerful, effective machines, nor do they have the know-how to recommend the appropriate cleaning methods and treatments. Our technicians use only top quality, tried-and-true equipment, methods, and solutions to ensure the best care for your carpet and upholstery. They will then be able to discuss with you what you can do down the road to maintain a clean, fresh home.

How long do I have to wait before letting my children and pets on newly cleaned carpets?

You can walk on the carpets as soon as our crew finishes. Just remember to remove your street shoes to avoid re-soiling.

Be sure to ask our professional technicians for their recommendation, which will take into account your individual circumstances, before they leave.

Can the cleaning agents used to clean my carpets harm my children or pets?

Carpet Cleaning New Jersey uses only non-toxic, all organic cleaners that are friendly both to the environment and your family. Of course, it is still a good idea to limit contact with a newly cleaned carpet until it is thoroughly dry.

Upholstered furniture cleaning

Do I need to have my upholstered furniture cleaned professionally?

Up to 80 percent of the everyday dirt and dust carried into most homes can settle onto the carpets and upholstered furniture. Therefore, having your furniture professionally cleaned has two important benefits. First, professional cleaning helps prevent damage to the upholstery fabric by removing soil and sand, which can slowly scratch the fabric and permanently alter its appearance. Second, and even more important, professional cleaning removes dust and other allergens or pollutants that can affect the air quality in your home. Professional cleaning is especially important if you or your family have asthma, allergies or sensitivities to air pollutants.

Will professional cleaning damage the protective coating I purchased with m furniture?

Although our cleaning methods may affect the protective coating on your furniture, the dry soils, sand and dust that accumulate on it—along with everyday wear—will cause that coating to deteriorate over time. We recommend re-applying fabric protector with every cleaning to protect your fabric and extend the life of your upholstered furniture.

How long will it take my furniture to dry?

Flood and Water Damage

What is it going to cost to have my home treated for water damage?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide an upfront estimate, given that every situation is unique. When you contact Carpet Cleaning New Jersey, our professional consultants will conduct an in-home inspection immediately (within one to five hours) to conduct an in-home inspection and assess how much water is involved, how many rooms are affected, and the extent of microbial damage.

Can I clean up flood and water damage myself?

It is best to have professional clean up after water damage or flooding has occurred. The most important reason for this is that most at-home techniques, like using shop vacs, are not able to extract water to the extent needed to prevent to secondary damage and microbial growth. For example, water can soak into carpet padding and create a heaven for mold, mildew and other microbial growth. This longer-term damage can be very costly to fix.

Will the damage be covered by my home-owners insurance?

Insurance coverage varies greatly. It is always a good idea to review your insurance policy with your agent to ensure you have the proper coverage for all situations, including leaks from your water heater or sump pump failures. This kind of coverage may require an inexpensive rider added to your insurance policy.

Can my carpet and padding be salvaged?

In many cases, when water is extracted immediately and thoroughly, carpets and padding can be saved. However, this depends on an array of factors, including the extent and cause of the flooding and the amount of time that expires before clean up begins. If you experience flooding or water damage, it is essential to contact Brooklyn Carpet Cleaners immediately, so our expert consultants can work with you to assess the damage and the most effective ways to address it.

Can my hardwood floors be salvaged?

Should I move my furniture and personal belongings?

If it is safe to do, move whatever you can from areas affected by flooding. When our crew arrives, it will carefully move your belongings to dry areas where they will be safe until the cleanup process is completed.

Tile and Grout Cleaning

Do I need to have my tile and grout professionally cleaned?

This will prolong the life and the beauty of your tile counters, walls, and floors.
