Quick answers
The questions we hear most often, answered straight.
How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?
For most Walworth County homes, every 12–18 months. Homes with children should aim for every 6–12 months, and homes with pets every 3–6 months. Because Wisconsin winters track in road salt, a spring cleaning is always worth scheduling.
How long do carpets take to dry afterward?
With professional truck-mounted hot-water extraction, carpets are usually dry in 4–8 hours. Rental machines often leave carpets wet for 24+ hours because they can’t pull out enough moisture.
Is professional cleaning better than a rental machine?
For a deep clean, yes. Professional equipment has far stronger suction, removes more water (which prevents mold and re-soiling), and is safer for delicate fibers and carpet backing.
What towns do you serve?
Lake Geneva, Williams Bay, Fontana, Walworth, Delavan, Elkhorn, Twin Lakes, Burlington and the surrounding Walworth County area in southeast Wisconsin.
Do you remove pet odors and stains?
Yes. We treat the source of the odor in the fibers and padding rather than masking it, using methods safe for homes with pets and kids.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?
Most homes do well with a professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes with children should consider every 6 to 12 months, and homes with pets every 3 to 6 months. In Wisconsin, scheduling a clean after winter helps remove road salt and grit before they wear down the fibers.
How long will my carpets stay wet after cleaning?
With our professional hot-water extraction, carpets are typically dry within 4 to 8 hours. Rental machines tend to over-wet carpets, leaving them damp for a day or more, which can lead to mildew.
Are your cleaning products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic, pH-balanced solutions that are safe for kids and pets once the area is dry, with no harsh chemical residue left behind.
Can you remove deep-set pet odors and stains?
Yes. Rather than masking smells, we break down the organic source of pet odor in the fibers and padding and extract it, which removes the smell instead of covering it up.
Do you clean upholstery and sofas as well as carpet?
We do. We clean sofas, sectionals, chairs and other upholstery, matching the method to the fabric — including low-moisture cleaning for delicate materials like silk, wool and microfiber.
