How it works

1. Contact us: Call, or send the form with a photo of the area. We answer any hour and set a visit at a time that suits you.
2. Inspection and estimate: The technician comes to the property, inspects the fiber, tests the dyes in an inconspicuous spot, and gives you the price and the method before any work begins.

## Services in detail

### Carpet cleaning
URL: https://carpetcleaningwizards.com/services/carpet-cleaning/
Summary: Hot-water extraction for wall-to-wall carpet, stairs and high-traffic areas. Non-toxic products, dry in about two hours.

Carpet is cleaned by hot-water extraction. Heated cleaning solution is injected into the pile under pressure and drawn back out through the same head, carrying the soil with it. That is what lifts the grey traffic lane in a hallway, and it removes what a vacuum compacts instead of collecting. We work in houses and apartments across Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset and Union counties, using non-toxic biodegradable products that are safe around family and pets. Most carpet is walkable within about two hours and dry the same day. Send a photo of the area and we will tell you what to expect before you book.

What this covers:
- Wall-to-wall carpet in bedrooms, hallways and living rooms
- Carpeted stairs, treads, risers and stringers
- Traffic lanes, entryways and landings
- Pet stains and pet odor, down into the padding
- Spills, wine, coffee, grease and ink
- Apartments, condominiums and rental turnovers

Method sections on this page: How a carpet clean is performed; Stairs take the longest; Pet stains are a padding problem; The products we use; Booking a carpet cleaning visit.

Q: How often should carpet be professionally cleaned?
A: Every 6 to 12 months for most homes. Traffic and pets decide where in that range a home sits: a busy hallway in a house with a dog and children is at the six-month end, and a guest bedroom nobody walks through can go a year or longer. Most residential carpet manufacturers also expect periodic hot-water extraction as a condition of their warranties.
Q: How long does carpet take to dry?
A: Most carpet is walkable within about two hours and dry the same day. Thick pile, cold weather and closed rooms all slow it down. We bring air movers when a room has to be back in use quickly, and we tell you before we start which rooms to keep off and for how long.
Q: Will cleaning make my carpet get dirty faster afterwards?
A: It should not. Where it happens, the cause is detergent residue left by a previous clean, which stays sticky and attracts soil. Extraction rinses the solution back out of the pile, so what goes in comes out again.
Q: Can you get an old stain out?
A: Sometimes, and we tell you which before you book. Fresh spills come out most reliably. Old pet urine, bleach and some dyes change the carpet fiber itself, and cleaning cannot restore a fiber that has lost its color. Send a photo and we will tell you what will come out and what will not.
Q: Do you move the furniture?
A: We move what two people can lift safely and put it back afterwards. Beds, dressers and anything holding electronics or glass are best emptied and cleared before we arrive. If you prefer that we clean around larger pieces, tell us when you book.

### Sofa and upholstery cleaning
URL: https://carpetcleaningwizards.com/services/upholstery-cleaning/
Summary: Fabric and leather sofas, sectionals, recliners and dining chairs, cleaned in place with a low-moisture method. Dry in 4 to 8 hours.

We clean fabric and leather upholstery in the home: sofas, sectionals, armchairs, recliners, ottomans and dining chairs. Fabric is cleaned with a low-moisture method, using enough solution to release the soil without saturating the padding underneath, and an unseen part of the fabric is tested before any cushion is cleaned. Leather is cleaned and then conditioned, because leather that has dried out is the condition behind most of the leather calls we take. Fabric sofas are usually dry in 4 to 8 hours and leather is faster. Sofa cleaning is the second most mentioned service in our Google reviews after carpet, and it is booked as a visit of its own.

What this covers:
- Fabric sofas, loveseats and sectionals
- Leather sofas and chairs, cleaned and conditioned
- Recliners and armchairs
- Ottomans, footstools and headboards
- Dining chairs, including the seat pads
- Pet hair, pet odor and accidents on furniture

Method sections on this page: Why upholstery is a different job from carpet; The test patch; Where the soil sits; Leather is cleaned and then conditioned; Booking an upholstery visit.

Q: Can you clean both fabric and leather sofas?
A: Yes, with different products and techniques for each. Fabric is cleaned by low-moisture extraction after a colorfastness test. Leather is cleaned and then conditioned, which is the step most often skipped and the reason leather ends up stiff and faded.
Q: How long does a sofa take to dry?
A: Fabric sofas usually dry in 4 to 8 hours. Leather dries faster because the cleaning never soaks in. We bring air movers when a room has to be back in use quickly.
Q: Will my upholstery shrink after cleaning?
A: No. We use low-moisture techniques and test the fabric before starting, which prevents both shrinkage and water marks. Over-wetting causes both, and low-moisture cleaning exists to avoid it.
Q: Do you clean sectionals and dining chairs too?
A: Yes: sectionals, recliners, armchairs, ottomans, headboards and dining chairs including the seat pads. Tell us roughly how many pieces there are and what they are made of when you book, so we bring the right products.
Q: Can you get pet smell out of a couch?
A: Usually. Pet odor in upholstery sits in the foam of the cushions rather than on the fabric, so it is treated at that depth, the same way pet stains in carpet are. Where a cushion core is heavily contaminated, we tell you what cleaning will and will not achieve before the work begins.

### Area and oriental rug cleaning
URL: https://carpetcleaningwizards.com/services/rug-cleaning/
Summary: Wool, silk-blend, oriental and synthetic rugs cleaned in your home with the method suited to the fiber. Every rug is color-tested first.

Wool, viscose, cotton, silk blends and machine-made synthetics each require a different amount of water, a different pH and a different amount of agitation. Carpet settings on a hand-knotted wool rug are what make dyes bleed and fringes turn grey, so the first step is to identify the fiber and test the dyes in an unseen corner. We clean wool, synthetic, oriental and shag rugs in your home, along with the floor underneath, which is usually dirtier than the rug. Cleaning removes the film of dust that was dulling the color, which is why customers describe the pattern coming back.

What this covers:
- Hand-knotted and hand-tufted wool rugs
- Oriental and Persian-style rugs
- Machine-made synthetic area rugs
- Shag and high-pile rugs
- Runners, hallway rugs and entry mats
- The hardwood or tile floor underneath

Method sections on this page: The fiber is identified first; The dye test; Most faded rugs are dusty; Fringes, edges and the parts that wear first; Cleaning the floor under the rug.

Q: Do you clean all types of rug?
A: We clean wool, synthetic, oriental and shag rugs, with the method matched to the material. The fiber is identified and the dyes are tested before anything starts. Where a rug is viscose or another moisture-sensitive fiber, we say so before booking and adjust the approach.
Q: Will the colors fade after cleaning?
A: No. Gentle cleaning protects the colors while removing the dust and soil that were dulling them. Fading comes from sunlight and from harsh high-pH chemistry, which is what the fiber test exists to avoid.
Q: Can you clean an oriental rug in my house?
A: In most cases yes. The rug is cleaned in place, along with the floor underneath it. Where a rug is heavily contaminated, has bled in the past, or is made of a fiber that should not be wet-cleaned in a living room, we tell you before booking rather than after arriving.
Q: What about pet accidents on a wool rug?
A: Urine on wool is urgent. Wool is a protein fiber and urine is alkaline, so the longer it sits the more likely the dye is permanently changed. Call as soon as you find it. We can often remove both the stain and the odor, and where the dye has already changed, cleaning will not bring the color back.
Q: How long does a rug take to dry?
A: Most area rugs are dry within a day. High-pile and shag rugs take longer because there is more fiber holding moisture. We use air movers where the rug has to be walked on sooner.

### Mattress cleaning
URL: https://carpetcleaningwizards.com/services/mattress-cleaning/
Summary: Dust mites, allergens, perspiration and stains extracted from the mattress. Low moisture, non-toxic products, ready for use the same night.

A mattress collects skin cells, perspiration and dust mites for years, and it is the one soft surface in the house that is never washed. We clean it in place with a low-moisture method: a HEPA-filtered pass to lift what is loose, treatment for stains and odor, then extraction that removes the soil without soaking the foam underneath. The products are non-toxic and biodegradable, which matters here because you spend a third of your life breathing six inches above this surface. The bed is normally back in use the same night. Where someone in the house wakes congested and clears during the day, the mattress is worth ruling out.

What this covers:
- All mattress sizes, in place, on the bed
- Dust mites, skin cells and allergen reservoirs
- Perspiration, body oil and yellowing
- Spills, accidents and odor
- Children's and guest-room mattresses
- Divan bases and upholstered headboards

Method sections on this page: What is in a mattress; The three-stage clean; Why low moisture is required here; What to do before we arrive.

Q: Why should a mattress be cleaned at all?
A: Because it accumulates dust mites, skin cells and allergens over time, and it is the one soft surface in the house that is never washed. Cleaning removes that reservoir. People who react to dust usually notice the bedroom first, because that is where the exposure is longest.
Q: Do you remove stains and odor from mattresses?
A: Yes. Perspiration, spills, urine and general yellowing are all treated, with odor handled at the source rather than covered. Results depend on how old the stain is and how deep it went. Send a photo and we will tell you what to expect before you book.
Q: Can we sleep on it the same night?
A: Normally yes. The low-moisture method leaves the surface dry within a few hours. If we clean in the evening, or the room is cold and closed up, we tell you plainly that it needs longer.
Q: How often should a mattress be cleaned?
A: Once a year suits most households, and more often where there are allergies, pets on the bed or young children. It is often booked with a carpet clean in the same visit, since the bedroom is already on the list.
Q: Is it safe for a child's mattress?
A: The products are non-toxic and biodegradable and safe around family and pets, which is why we use them on beds. Nothing leaves a residue that needs airing out before the bed is used again.

### Tile and grout cleaning
URL: https://carpetcleaningwizards.com/services/tile-and-grout-cleaning/
Summary: Pressure extraction that restores grout lines in kitchens, bathrooms and entryways to a color close to the original.

Tile does not get dirty. Grout does. Grout is porous, it sits below the surface of the tile, and every mop pushes dirty water into it. Once grout has darkened, mopping does not bring it back, because a mop moves the same water along the line. We clean grout with pressure and heat and extract the released soil immediately, so it leaves the floor instead of settling into the next joint. We cover kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, laundry rooms and tiled hallways across eight North Jersey counties, using the same non-toxic, biodegradable products we use everywhere else. Grout that has been stained rather than soiled will not return to white, and we tell you which one you have before you book.

What this covers:
- Kitchen floors and backsplashes
- Bathroom floors, walls and shower enclosures
- Entryways, mudrooms and laundry rooms
- Tiled hallways and open-plan living areas
- Ceramic, porcelain and stone-effect tile
- Grout lines as well as the tile faces

Method sections on this page: Why a mopped floor still looks dirty; What the clean does; Soiled grout and stained grout; The bathroom.

Q: Why does my grout look dirty when I mop every week?
A: Because a mop moves dirty water around rather than removing it, and grout is porous and recessed. The water that comes off the tile drains into the joint and the soil stays behind. Cleaning grout properly means flushing the joint and extracting what comes out, so the soil leaves the room.
Q: Will the grout go back to white?
A: If it is soiled, it comes back a long way, often further than people expect. If the cement itself has been stained, it will not, and no cleaning process changes that. We tell you which one you are looking at before booking.
Q: Can you clean the shower as well as the floor?
A: Yes. Shower grout usually involves soap scum and mold as well as soil, so it takes different products and more dwell time. Where discoloration is coming from water getting behind the tile, that is a repair, and we tell you rather than cleaning it repeatedly.
Q: Is the process safe for stone and for pets?
A: The products are non-toxic and biodegradable and safe around family and pets. Natural stone needs different chemistry from ceramic and porcelain, so tell us what the floor is when you book and we will bring the right products.
Q: Should I have the grout sealed afterwards?
A: It is worth considering once the grout is clean, because sealer fills the pores and slows re-soiling. It is not permanent and it will not lighten grout that is already dark. Sealing dirty grout locks the dirt in.

### Water damage drying and restoration
URL: https://carpetcleaningwizards.com/services/water-damage-restoration/
Summary: Water extraction, structural drying and dehumidification after a leak or flood. A fast response limits the risk of mold.

After water gets into a floor, the time it takes to start extraction decides the outcome. Extraction and drying within the first day or two is the difference between carpet and padding that can be saved and a floor that has to come out, and it decides whether mold starts at all. We extract standing water, lift and assess the padding, then run drying and dehumidifying equipment until the materials read dry rather than feel dry. Carpet, padding, subfloor and the bottom of the drywall all hold water differently and all are checked. We work across eight North Jersey counties and answer the phone at any hour.

What this covers:
- Burst pipes, appliance leaks and overflowing fixtures
- Water extraction from carpet and padding
- Drying and dehumidifying until materials read dry
- Assessment of padding and subfloor
- Mold prevention after a leak
- Basements, laundry rooms and finished lower levels

Method sections on this page: Speed is the whole service; What we do, in order; Why a floor that feels dry may not be dry; When we will tell you to stop spending money.

Q: Can you help prevent mold after a flood?
A: Yes. The drying and dehumidifying process is what prevents mold and further damage to the carpet and floor. Mold needs moisture, warmth and time, and removing the moisture quickly is the part you can control. It is why we answer the phone at any hour for this service.
Q: How quickly do you need to get there?
A: As fast as possible, and sooner than most people think. The first day or two decides whether carpet and padding can be saved. Call as soon as the water is stopped, before deciding what to throw away.
Q: Can the carpet and padding be saved?
A: Often, where the water is clean and we reach it quickly. Padding is the part that most often has to go, because it holds water like a sponge and dries slowly. Water that has stood for days, or that came from a sewage backup, is a different situation and we tell you plainly.
Q: What should I do before you arrive?
A: Stop the water at the source if you can do so safely, and turn off power to the affected area at the panel if any outlet or appliance is involved. Lift what you can off the wet floor, including furniture legs and boxes. Do not run a household vacuum over standing water.
Q: How long does the drying take?
A: Usually several days with equipment running, and the exact time depends on how much water there was, what it soaked into and how warm the space is. We run the equipment a day longer instead of calling a floor dry early.

## Complete list of frequently asked questions

### Timing and drying

Q: How long does carpet take to dry?
A: Most carpet is walkable within a couple of hours and dry the same day. Thick pile, cold weather and closed-up rooms all slow it down. We bring air movers when a room has to be back in use quickly.

Q: How long does a sofa take to dry?
A: Fabric sofas usually dry in 4 to 8 hours, and leather is faster because the cleaning never soaks in. We also bring air movers for quicker drying where a room has to be usable that evening.

Q: How often should carpet be professionally cleaned?
A: Every 6 to 12 months, depending on foot traffic, pets and lifestyle. A hallway in a house with a dog and children is at the short end of that range; a spare bedroom nobody walks through can go a year or more.

Q: Can you come in the evening or at the weekend?
A: Yes. We book by appointment 24 hours a day, and evening and weekend appointments are routine.

### Products and safety

Q: Do you use eco-friendly cleaning products?
A: We use non-toxic, biodegradable products that are safe for children and pets. No ventilation is required afterwards, and pets can remain in the home.

Q: Will the house smell of chemicals afterwards?
A: It should not. Customers most often report that the house smelled fresh afterwards rather than of cleaning products.

Q: Is it safe for a child’s mattress or a pet’s bed?
A: Yes, and that is the reason we use these products. They leave no residue that needs airing out before the bed is used again.

Q: What is the benefit of steam over other methods?
A: Steam cleaning uses high heat to kill bacteria and lift dirt from deep within carpet fibers. The extraction is the important half: whatever goes into the carpet comes back out again, along with the soil it released.

### Stains and odor

Q: Can you remove old or stubborn stains?
A: Our stain removal process targets deep-set stains from wine, coffee, pets and more. Fresh spills come out most reliably. Old pet urine, bleach and some dyes change the fiber itself, and no cleaning restores a fiber that has lost its color. We tell you which one you have before you book.

Q: Why does the same pet stain keep coming back?
A: Because it was never fully removed. The liquid went through the carpet into the padding, and as the carpet dried it rose back up and brought the stain with it. It has to be treated at the depth it reached rather than at the surface.

Q: Can you get pet smell out of a couch?
A: Usually. Odor in upholstery sits in the foam of the cushions rather than on the fabric, so it is treated at that depth, the same way pet stains in carpet are.

Q: Do you offer stain and odor removal for mattresses?
A: Yes. Sweat, spills, urine and general yellowing are all treated, with odor handled at the source rather than covered over. How much comes out depends on how old the stain is and how deep it went.

### Rugs and upholstery

Q: Do you clean all types of rugs?
A: We clean wool, synthetic, oriental, shag and other area rugs, with the method matched to the material. The fiber is identified and the dyes are tested in a hidden corner before any moisture is applied.

Q: Will rug colors fade after cleaning?
A: No. Gentle cleaning protects the colors while removing the dirt and odor. What most people read as fading is a layer of dust across the pile that mutes every color. Remove it and the pattern comes back.

Q: Can you clean fabric and leather sofas?
A: Both, with the products and the technique matched to each surface. Leather is cleaned and then conditioned, which is the step most often skipped and the reason leather ends up stiff and faded.

Q: Will upholstery shrink after cleaning?
A: No. We use low-moisture techniques and test the fabric first, which prevents both shrinkage and water marks. Over-wetting causes both, and low-moisture cleaning exists to avoid it.

Q: Do you clean dining chairs and sectionals too?
A: Yes, all types of upholstered furniture, including armchairs, recliners, sectionals, ottomans, headboards and dining chairs.

### Water damage

Q: Can you help prevent mold after flooding?
A: Yes. Our drying and dehumidifying process helps prevent mold and further damage to carpet and floor. Mold needs moisture, warmth and time, and removing the moisture quickly is the part that can be controlled.

Q: How fast do you need to know about a leak?
A: As fast as possible. The first day or two decides whether carpet and padding can be saved. Call as soon as the water is stopped and before deciding what to throw away.

Q: What should I do before you arrive?
A: Stop the water at the source if you can do so safely, cut power to the affected area at the panel if any outlet or appliance is involved, and lift what you can off the wet floor. Do not run a household vacuum over standing water.

Q: The carpet feels dry now. Is it fine?
A: Not necessarily. Surface fibers give up moisture first and they are the only part you can touch. The padding and subfloor beneath can still hold a great deal of water, and that is where a smell three weeks later comes from.

### Booking and access

Q: Do you have a shop we can bring things to?
A: No. We are a service-area business. All services are performed at your home or business, including area rugs and the floor underneath them.

Q: Do you move furniture?
A: We move what two people can safely lift and put it back afterwards. Beds, dressers and anything with electronics or glass are best cleared before we arrive. If you prefer that we clean around larger pieces, say so when you book.

Q: My building has no elevator, or needs an insurance certificate. Is that a problem?
A: Neither is a problem. Walk-ups are routine and equipment goes up by hand, so tell us the floor when you book. For buildings that require a certificate of insurance or a reserved service elevator, tell us the building and we arrange it with management in advance.

Q: How do I get an accurate answer about a specific stain?
A: Send a photograph of the worst area with your inquiry. It is the fastest way to receive a clear answer about what will come out and what will not, before anything is booked.
