Whether in the home or office, carpets help to create a warm and inviting space. They make walking around more comfortable and reduce noise levels.
But they’re also high-traffic areas that get walked on by feet and shoes all day, every day. In this blog, we’ll discuss how to take care of your carpets so they keep taking care of you.
Carpets don’t just make your home warm and cozy. The fibers in your carpets also filter air particles and can, therefore, get dusty and dirty. When it comes to your home, clean carpets mean cleaner (and healthier) air.
Why Carpet Cleaning is Important
It’s not just a luxury to have your carpets professionally cleaned. A clean carpet at home prolongs its life and keeps it looking fresher longer. Professional cleaning also helps eliminate dust mites and potential bedbugs that may have found a home in the fibers. And, if your carpet has sustained any major spills or stains recently, a professional cleaning will get them out.
What’s Included With Residential Carpet Cleaning Services
Stephco’s Certified Carpet Cleaning Technicians will start with an estimate of the job to be done. This will take into account the surface area to be cleaned and any add-ons, such as anti-microbial treatments or deodorizers. Our professional carpet cleaner will also help you identify the materials in your carpets that may influence what types of cleaning agents they use.
Our carpet cleaning technicians use high-quality, truck-mounted steam cleaners and cleaning agents in your home. Each of our professionals is fully trained and certified, so you know you’re getting the best service in the business.
What About Area Rugs?
Carpets are typically installed from wall to wall in a home and don’t move around. Rugs, on the other hand, come in a variety of sizes and can be moved from place to place as needed.
At Stephco Cleaning, we clean area rugs with the same care and professionalism that we use for carpets.
Residential Carpet Cleaning FAQs
Q: How often should the carpets in my home be professionally cleaned?
A: That depends on factors in your home, such as children, pets, foot traffic, and more. Generally speaking, carpets should be professionally cleaned at least once a year – twice, for homes with pets, children, or high-traffic areas.
Q: How soon can I walk on my carpets after they’re cleaned?
A: We strongly recommend staying off your carpets until they’re fully dry to avoid getting new dirt and dust in the fibers. Drying can take six to twelve hours, and Stephco Cleaning will often use industrial air movers or fans to speed up the drying process.
Q: Is professional carpet cleaning safe for my children and pets?
A: Yes! At Stephco Cleaning, we use only the safest, non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning agents in your home.
Q: Will I need to move my furniture?
A: Our experienced professionals will carefully move any lighter furniture, but we recommend moving heavier or more fragile furniture, such as pianos, yourself before we arrive.
Many office buildings install industrial-strength carpets on each floor. This is for sound absorption (especially in large or busy offices) and cost-effectiveness in maintenance. Commercial carpeting is built to withstand more traffic and use than residential carpets, making the cleaning process even more important.
Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning is one of the best and most thorough commercial carpet cleaning methods available. Stephco Cleaning uses truck-mounted steamers and the highest-quality cleaning agents, antimicrobial treatments, and deodorizers for every commercial job we do.
Encapsulation Cleaning
Encapsulation cleaning is a dry cleaning method that picks up dirt, sand, and debris trapped in the fibers of your carpet. By removing these contaminants, we can extend the life of your office carpets and keep them looking fresher for longer.
Encapsulation cleaning is typically used for:
What About Office Furniture?
For any and all upholstered office furniture, we offer the same quality cleaning services as we do for carpets.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning FAQs
Q: How much does commercial carpet cleaning cost?
A: We generally charge around $0.07 per square foot for commercial carpet cleaning, with a minimum of 1,000 square feet required.
Q: How often should I get my commercial carpets cleaned?
A: As with residential carpets, you should invest in professionally cleaning your commercial carpets at least once a year. For busy or high-traffic areas, such as lobbies or entrances, we recommend two or even three times a year.
Q: Can commercial carpets be cleaned overnight?
A: Yes! We know that you want to minimize your business’s downtime. That’s why we offer overnight commercial carpet cleaning so that your office’s carpets are fresh and ready at the start of the next work day.

Stripping, waxing, and polishing are types of floor treatments. Each performs specific cleaning tasks for your commercial floors. The treatment your floors need depends on their materials. Not all flooring materials can be safely stripped, waxed, or polished. Always consult with a commercial floor care specialist before applying cleaning products or using equipment on your floors.
Frequent staff turnover leads to inconsistent cleaning and missed details specific to your facility. Missed tasks like floor care or high-touch surface cleaning signal corners are being cut. Lack of inspections or quality control processes causes standards to slip over time. Vague communication and missing reports make it hard to verify work quality or address issues.
