In short
Flying Carpet Cleaning NJ cleans wall to wall carpet in Clifton, New Jersey, and across Passaic County. A visit starts with a look at the fiber and the spots, then pre treatment and hot water extraction or a low moisture method. Drying time depends on the season and the carpet, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Carpet cleaning in Clifton: what to know
About half of Clifton's homes are single family houses, and most of the rest are in two to four family houses. Carpet in homes like these wears along a line you can trace with your eye: in at the door, across the living room, up the stairs and down the hall. Those lanes and any spots are treated first so the cleaning that follows has less to do. For most carpet that cleaning is hot water extraction. A low moisture method may be the better choice for wool, since wool holds more water than nylon and is slower to give it up. To get ready, clear the floor of shoes, toys and cords and pin long curtains up off the carpet. Then tell us about the stairs, including how many steps there are and if they turn.
A cleaning visit in Clifton
A Clifton visit is usually a house call in the plain sense: a driveway, a front or side door, and one flight of stairs inside. Leave the driveway or the curb out front free if you can, and tell us which door is nearest the rooms being cleaned. Upstairs in a two family house, say if your stairs are private or shared. We walk through with you before starting and point out anything cleaning is unlikely to change. Carpet and upholstery are usually dry within a few hours. In the cold months, a warm house with a fan running dries faster than a cool, closed one.

Carpet cleaning in Clifton: questions, answered
Do you clean carpeted stairs in Clifton houses?
Yes. We clean stair carpet one step at a time: the tread, the riser and the rounded edge. In Clifton, where 53 percent of homes are single family houses, stairs belong in any quote request, because they take more time than a room of similar size. Tell us the number of steps and mention a landing if there is one.
How often should carpet be professionally cleaned?
Every 6 to 12 months suits most homes. Homes with pets, small children or heavy foot traffic do better closer to every 6 months, and a guest room that is rarely used can wait longer.
How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning?
It depends on the season. In warm, dry weather carpet is often dry within hours. In winter or in humid weather, and with thick or dense pile, it can take up to 48 hours. Moving air shortens it: open windows when the weather allows, run a fan or the heating, and keep furniture legs off damp carpet.
Will steam cleaning shrink or damage my carpet?
Not when the method fits the fiber. Synthetic carpet tolerates hot water extraction well. Wool and specialty carpet get cooler water and less of it, or a low moisture method, which is why we check the fiber before we start.
Can you remove pet stains and smells from carpet?
Often, when the urine is recent and sits in the pile. Old or repeated accidents that reached the pad or the subfloor are harder, and cleaning the surface may improve them without removing them. We tell you what is realistic after we look.
