Rainy Day Carpet Cleaning

Posted on by

You bet.

With our dry cleaning systems for carpet care, it is not necessary to schedule cleaning on a sunny day. You don’t need to open the windows and pull out the fans. We’re able to continue cleaning carpet on a rainy day. 

Save Water. We simply use less cleaning solution, so there is less that needs to evaporate. In a typical house, we use 2 – 3 gallons of cleaning solution and extract about half of it with our Teri-Towel System. That leaves only 128 fluid ounces of liquid that needs to evaporate into the air. That’s why you’re able to use your carpets and rugs 2 hours after we’ve finished. On a rainy day, give it an extra hour. That’s all. Call us for all-weather carpet cleaning.

Even Better for Cleaning Carpet on a Rainy Day

I cleaned the lobby carpet of Healdsburg Orthodontics in the morning. They were receiving patients at noon.

With our HOST dry cleaning system, your rugs and carpets are ready to use immediately after we’ve cleaned them – rain or shine! That’s because we only use the moisture that is encapsulated in the organic sponge material we use. Our counter-rotating brushes work the sponge material through the carpet, rubbing against the carpet fibers, drawing soil to the sponges. When we vacuum up the sponge material, your carpet is left dry, no matter the weather.

Compare that to the typical hot water extraction method of carpet cleaning (aka “steam cleaning” of truck-mounted systems such as COIT, Stanley Steemer and North Bay Carpet Care). In a typical house, 30-60 gallons of solution are blasted into your carpet. Even with the best extraction vacuums, many gallons of liquid remain in your carpet. If your carpet doesn’t dry quickly (which can easily happen on a rainy day), you’ll have mold and mildew in your carpet, leaving a musty smell and a real health threat.

You can avoid that fate. If rain is in the forecast and you need your carpet and rugs cleaned, call us for rainy day carpet cleaning.

Preparing for Our Visit

Posted on by

A little preparation will help us to get right to work on what we do best. This should clear up most of the most frequently asked questions.

Clear the Area

  1. Generally pick up and remove anything you want us to clean under.
    Definitely remove trash cans, lamps, piles of books, trash, clothing, small chairs, coins, paper clips, etc.
    Many customers prefer to leave large pieces of furniture in place, such as beds, couches, tables. We can reach underneath tables and desks and about four inches underneath beds, couches and other items that are on legs.
    If you want us to remove any furniture, let us know ahead of time so we can come prepared. There is an additional charge for furniture moving. We don’t move beds or dressers, or anything with fragile items on or in them (ex. china cabinets).
  2. Vacuuming? You don’t need to vacuum before our visit. We’ll do that.
  3. When we arrive, show us what needs to be done and point out any areas of special concern, especially pet stains. You may want to mark them ahead of time with a post-it note.
  4. We love your pets. We’re happy to greet your dog if that helps the dog relax. Please secure your pets when we’re working.
  5. We bring our own water, but may need to refill a sprayer tank with a few gallons of warm water. We will need access to an electrical outlet.
  6. Provide a place to park that is close to the building so we can unload and load equipment. A driveway space is preferable, but a spot in front of your house will work.

COVID-19 Precautions

  1. We are fully vaccinated and happy to wear masks throughout our visit. Just let us know if you would prefer that.
  2. Give us room to work. We can’t work if pets, children or adults are walking through the room where we’re working.
