Carpet Cleaning FAQs

• How much does cleaning typically cost?

  Pure Cleans pricing is determined by a thorough evaluation of the carpet. Unlike other companies, we are trained and certified in over 7 methods of cleaning and will align the proper process & system with the type of carpeting and soil conditions that are present.

  Over the last 10 years we have developed different cleaning packages that are designed for different soiling conditions and/or needs. The good news is, our pricing starts at only .60¢ per square foot so it is very affordable. This cleaning is NOT like anything you’ve experienced, so if you are comparing just realize that our cleaning is on a different level than other companies – trust us. Hard surface cleaning is priced by the square foot and varies depending on the type of flooring we are cleaning but is typically around $1 per sf. Commercial work is also charged by the square foot and takes into account the level of soiling in the carpet. Stains & odors require on-site inspection to determine time and procedures for improvement. Oriental rugs are priced by the square foot and are $5-7 per square foot based on different variables.

• What is the best method of carpet cleaning?

  At Pure Clean, we do things differently. We do things better.

  We only use 100% all-natural cleaning products that are powerful enough to lift tough stains and remove odors, yet so harmless that they are safe to drink. We use high-powered cleaning systems that heat our deionized water to 220 degrees F so that your carpets are not only clean, but sanitized as well. Then, using our powerful truck mounted systems, we suction the water from your carpet, leaving them dry in 1-3 hours.
  Other Seattle carpet cleaning companies use harsh, harmful chemical based cleaners that leave sticky residue on your carpet which actually makes your carpet wear out more quickly, and gather more dirt. They leave so much water in your carpets that it can take more than 10-24 hours to dry.

  There are big differences between other Seattle cleaners and PureClean. Curious to learn more? Give us a call.

• How does it take for carpet to dry after professional carpet cleaning?

  At Pure Clean, we know that waiting for your carpets to dry is a huge pain, especially for busy families with children. This is why we specially designed our carpet cleaning equipment to suction more water from the carpet. Our average carpet cleaning service will require 1-3 hours of dry time. Our competitors will require anywhere between 10-24 hours or more! This long dry time increases chances of water staining, odors, and mildew growth.

  If you have thick carpets, however, our dry time may be longer. Carpets such as berber or thick weave carpets require additional drying time due to the thick design and weave of the textile. However, by using PureClean’s Turbo-Dry process, we can usually have your carpets in “ready-to-use” condition before we leave your home. Applying PureGuard will also increase dry times. If you don’t want to wait forever for your carpets to dry after a cleaning, contact us to schedule an appointment or gather more information.

• How do I prepare for carpet cleaning?

  All that needs to be done to prepare for your carpet cleaning is to do a light pre-vacuum and move any breakables out of the cleaning areas. We will move and replace most common, movable household furniture on your behalf for an additional charge. According to our business insurance, our technicians cannot safely move pianos, TVs, computers, beds, bookshelves, china cabinets, and other large or fragile items, so please arrange for these items to be moved ahead of time.

• How often should you have your carpets professionally cleaned?

  Carpet Manufacturers and indoor air quality specialists recommend getting a professional cleaning at least every 6-12 months. Your carpets, upholstery, and mattresses act as air filters in your home and trap contaminants. These build up and cause greater wear and tear to the fibers and fabrics.

  If you are waiting for your carpets to look soiled before cleaning, then you are waiting too long. Schedule your cleaning on a regular cycle to ensure a clean in-home air environment, a longer lifespan for your carpeting, mattresses, and upholstery, and a healthier home overall for your family.

• Can You Clean Apartments?

  Yes, we certainly can. Whether you are a property manager looking for commercial cleaning services for your entire apartment complex or a renter that would like to keep their apartment healthy and looking beautiful, we are happy to help. We use the same all natural products that we do for a full home cleaning, but utilize slightly different cleaning equipment and technology to allow for a thorough and safe cleaning — no matter what the location. Call our office to talk about cleaning your apartment.

• How do professional carpet cleaners typically clean carpet?

  PureClean has specialty equipment designed specifically to meet our needs and high standards. We use a variety of methods, but our best and truest clean always comes from our exclusive DI (deionized) water that is heated up to 240’F. This water is ‘sticky’ water — because it is 100% clean, it picks up all the dirt, grime, oils, and residue in your carpet and rinses it away. This process leaves your carpets clean, healthy, and completely naturally clean!

• Why are you the best carpet cleaning company in Seattle?

  These are some of the main advantages that Pure Clean offers over the traditional carpet cleaning companies in Seattle. Instead of using conventional soaps and detergents, we use UltraPure water that actually cleans and sanitizes your carpet, lifting all the dirt, grime, oils, stains, odors, and bacteria from your carpet. The best part? We use all natural cleaning products that are 100% family and pet safe. PureClean is hands-down the best way to sanitize carpets in Seattle. The products actually produce longer and better results than our competitors.
  We always offer a full service — we move and, when possible, replace your furniture for you. Spot removal is included at no extra charge. We always wear shoe covers and use corner guards, furniture pads, and styrofoam blocks to make sure that your walls and furniture are protected during the entire process.
  We offer a wide variety of in-home services to meet your cleaning needs, including carpets, upholstery, mattresses, hard surfaces, vehicles, specialty cleaning, and rugs cleaning. We even have an exclusive edge cleaning tool that is guaranteed to remove or significantly reduce the black filtration lines that most homes have around the edges of their carpeted rooms.
  At Pure Clean, we are family owned and operated – not a franchise. This means you will always deal with the Surdi’s and be treated like part of our family! As you can see, we’ve got a lot up on our competitors.

• How can I prevent dirty carpets after carpet cleaning?

  PureGuard is a carpet & upholstery fabric protector that helps your carpets & upholstery stay clean, bright, and fresh while reducing the effects of wear and tear. PureGuard contains an acid dye blocker that is specially formulated to repel acid-based stains — the most common type of household spill — giving you the extra time you need to get it cleaned up! The powerful, invisible shield of PureGuard protects carpet fibers from getting dirt and allergens lodged within the fibers. This protects carpets from dirt and dust build-up, and allows for a more thorough vacuuming, thus creating a cleaner and healthier in-home environment.

  Carpet manufacturers recommend the application of PureGuard after every professional cleaning as it replaces the protectant that originally comes on your carpet, but which is worn down over time. PureGuard is completely safe for in-home applications. An investment in great cleaning deserves to protected!
