Frequently Asked Questions
 

How long does it take for carpets to dry?

Most carpets cleaned by Josh’s Carpet Cleaning are dry within 4 to 6 hours. Our high-powered steam extraction removes 95% of the moisture during the cleaning process. To achieve the fastest drying times, we recommend turning on your HVAC system or using ceiling fans to circulate air.
 

Is your carpet cleaning safe for pets and children?

Yes. I use EPA-approved, eco-friendly, and soap-free solutions. Unlike many "big brand" cleaners that leave behind sticky detergents, my process is non-toxic and leaves no residue, making it 100% safe for households with infants and pets.
 

What is your professional cleaning process?

I utilize a Deep Steam Extraction (Hot Water Extraction) method. This involves heating water to over 210°F to sanitize fibers, followed by high-suction extraction that pulls out dirt, allergens, and dust mites from the base of the carpet—not just the surface.
 

Do I need to vacuum before you arrive?

While not strictly required, a quick pre-vacuum helps remove loose surface hair and debris, allowing my steam cleaning to focus on the deeply embedded soil. If you can’t get to it, don’t worry—I can handle it for you!
 

How do I prepare for my carpet cleaning appointment?

To ensure the best results, please move small items like toys, plants, and breakables. I am happy to clean around larger furniture like sofas and beds. If you have specific heavy items you need moved, please let me know when you call 508-217-7511.
 

Can you remove old pet stains and odors?

Yes. I specialize in Sub-Surface Extraction for pet accidents. Instead of just masking the smell, I use professional-grade enzymes that break down the urine proteins to eliminate odors at the source.
 

What is the difference between "Steam Cleaning" and "Dry Cleaning"?

Steam cleaning (Hot Water Extraction) is the only method recommended by major carpet manufacturers like Shaw and Mohawk. "Dry cleaning" often just rubs dirt around with chemicals. My steam process actually extracts the dirt from your home.
 

How much does professional carpet cleaning cost in the South Shore?

Pricing is based on the square footage and the condition of the areas. I provide honest, upfront quotes with no hidden fees or "bait-and-switch" pricing. Call or text me at 508-217-7511 for a free estimate tailored to your home.

Do you offer Tile and Grout cleaning?
