Frequently Asked Questions
If I DIY, what cleaners are bad?
Most DIY carpet cleaners sold with rental machines are soap-based, which can leave behind residue. While it may make the carpet look clean temporarily, soap residue attracts dirt and acts like sandpaper, wearing down your carpet fibers over time.
That’s why East Idaho Carpet Cleaning uses soap-free, non-toxic, residue-free solutions—safer for your carpet and your family.
What can I do to get ready for my cleaning?
Before your appointment, please ensure that your power and hot water are turned on. To help keep our prices affordable, we ask that you move furniture in advance if you want carpet cleaned underneath. This allows our technicians to work quickly and thoroughly.
How long will it take for my carpets to dry?
Drying time varies by home, season, and carpet type. In general, carpets are dry within 24 hours. During warmer Idaho summers, they may dry in just a few hours.
How can I get my carpets to dry faster?
The key is air circulation. Use at least one fan per room to speed up drying. Turn on bathroom vent fans, open windows if possible, and during Idaho’s colder months, increase your indoor heat. The more airflow, the better.
How often should we get our carpets cleaned?
It depends on foot traffic, pets, and household activity. Many carpet manufacturers require cleaning every 12–24 months to maintain warranty coverage. The IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification) recommends professional cleaning once per year for the best results and longevity.
