Frequently Asked Questions

1. I've heard it's best to put off having my carpet cleaned as long as possible. Is this true?

No. In fact, many of the major carpet mills now recommend professional cleaning at least once a year. The build up of soil in your carpet, in combination with foot traffic, creates abrasion that breaks down your carpet's fibers. The higher the traffic in a given area, the more often the carpet will need cleaning. If there are pets and/or children in the home, then at least three cleanings per year are recommended.

2. How are you different from other carpet cleaners?

Some companies bait you with a low price so they can get into your home and “sell” you on a better cleaning for more money. We at Dan Dan the Carpet Man give you a price per room and we include EVERYTHING needed to get the job done right! NO TRICKERY, NO BAIT AND SWITCH, JUST HONEST, UP FRONT PRICING FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

3. Should I have my carpets dry cleaned or steam cleaned?

The manufacturers of most carpet recommend only hot water extraction method (steam cleaning). They do not recommend dry cleaning nor will they consider dry cleaning valid to maintain the warranty.

4. Does your cleaning process soak the backing of the carpet?

No, although our process rinses the carpet deep down, moisture does not penetrate the backing of the carpet. With our powerful truck-mounted equipment, your carpet is thoroughly rinsed, but left only damp to the touch.

5. How long does my carpet stay wet?

Four to twenty four hours. Air conditioning is the most important thing in drying carpet. If the temperature outside is above 70 degrees, then set the a/c to 70 for 6 hours and your carpets will be dry or well on their way. Fans are useful as well. If the outside temperature is below 52 degrees, then the heat should be set at 75 for a few hours.

Very important – If outside temperature is between 55 and 70 degrees then the heat should be set at 80 for one hour and the a/c at 70 for one hour. Alternate for 6 to 8 hours and you will have very dry carpet. The inside temperature is not important, only that the heat or a/c is constantly on for 6 to 8 hours.

6. What should I do to prepare for carpet cleaning?

The most important thing is to thoroughly vacuum. If there is a lot of dirt or hair, then two or three separate vacuumings is recommended. Nicknacks and breakables can be moved off of tables as well.

7. What furniture will be moved by the technicians?

We will move any non-electronic furniture in your living areas as long as one can can easily do so. We will clean under the pieces, return them, and then put blocks under them to protect the carpet. Bedroom furniture remains where it is with the exception of night stands which will be moved upon request.

If items are moved by customer prior to cleaning, then 24 hours should pass before said items are returned so thorough drying can occur.

8. Are you insured?

Yes. You should only trust your home and carpets to an insured professional.

9. Who are the people that will be in my home?

The technicians we use are very trustworthy and have been with the company for over six years. Dan trusts them explicitely, and they have access to Dan's personal home, even when he is not there. They are very well trained, professional, and kind.

10. Can you get the pet odor out of my carpet?

Pet odor is a very common problem. At Dan Dan the Carpet Man, we can help you deal with your pet challenges. From minor problems to major headaches, Dan Dan the Carpet Man can help find the solution that works best for you.

The problem with pet odor is that it can be much deeper than it first appears. Pet urine can easily soak through the backing of the carpet into the padding underneath. In more severe cases the urine can penetrate into the sub-floor beneath the padding. This creates a problem that is multi-layered. The urine also provides for the growth of bacteria. This, in turn, contributes to a worsening of the odor problem and can contribute to permanent color loss of the carpet fiber.

To eliminate this problem the urine must be removed or neutralized from each of the layers effected. If the contamination is limited to only the face yarn of the carpet then the cleaning itself may effectively remove the odor. In more severe cases a urine neutralizer may be applied.

In the most severe cases, replacement of the carpet padding, treatment of the under-side of the carpet and the sub-floor may be required. Even replacement of the carpet, however, cannot guarantee complete removal of odor. Left untreated over a period of time pet odor can become absorbed into may of the porous materials in your home. Draperies, sheet rock, upholstered furniture, base-boards, even the concrete foundation are just a few of the materials that can absorb these odors.

11. What are those ugly black lines around the base-boards and under doorways?

If your have light colored carpet, you may have experienced these dark lines that appeaer on the carpet. This soiling is called filtration soiling because it comes from air passing through the carpet as it is attempting to get through the crack between the carpet and the baseboard or under a closed door. As the air passes through the edged of the carpet pile, this microscopic soiling is deposited there (hence the term filtration soiling). This occurs over a significant period of time and is not noticed until a build up has occurred.

This type of soiling is difficult to remove because the soil particles are so fine that they penetrate deep into the carpet pile, sometimes into the backing of the carpet. Can it be removed? Sometimes. With special products, time and effort, reasonable results can sometimes be achieved. To help prevent filtration soiling, vacuum and wipe the edges of the carpeting on a regular basis. Be careful around the trackstrip on the edge of the carpeting, as sharp edges could nick your fingers!

12. What should I use as a carpet spot-cleaner?

In between professional cleaning you can remove anything organic (urine, blood, vomit, red wine, natural juices) with hydrogen peroxide in the brown bottle from the drug store. ust dump it on, place a towel on spot and step on it, remove towel and let dry. Repeat if need. We also recommend using Dan Dan the Carpet Man Spotter ( yours free with cleaning) . If you must use a store-bought carpet spotter, apply to damp cloth - NOT directly to the carpet.
