A Five-Star Experience
Our Carpet Cleaning Process
At Lee’s Carpet Cleaning, we’ve perfected our carpet cleaning technique over four decades to deliver exceptional results that last. Our approach combines industry-leading equipment with specialized cleaning solutions developed through years of hands-on experience.
We’re committed to restoring your carpets to their best possible condition while extending their lifespan through proper care. Each step in our process has been carefully refined to address deep-set dirt, stubborn stains, and allergens that ordinary cleaning methods miss. Our thorough process includes:
Pre-Inspection:
Our technicians begin by examining your carpets to identify heavily soiled areas, stains, and potential permanent damage.
Pre-Treatment:
We apply a specialized cleaning solution that breaks down embedded dirt, stains, and allergens, preparing your carpet for deep cleaning.
Hot Water Extraction:
Using our powerful truck-mounted equipment, we flush your carpet with hot water and cleaning solution at high pressure, while simultaneously extracting the water, dissolved dirt, and contaminants.
Spot Treatment:
Any remaining stubborn stains receive extra attention with our specialized stain removal techniques.
Post-Grooming:
We groom the carpet fibers to ensure even drying and to restore the carpet’s natural texture and appearance.
Final Inspection:
Together with you, we review our work to ensure your complete satisfaction.
How To Prepare For Your Cleaning
Preparing your home before our arrival helps ensure the most effective cleaning results and a smooth, efficient service experience. Follow these simple steps to get ready for your carpet cleaning appointment:
One Week Before
- Schedule your carpet cleaning on a day when foot traffic can be minimized afterward
- Note any areas of concern or spots that need special attention
- Plan activities for children and pets during the cleaning process
The Day Before
- Vacuum your carpets thoroughly: While our process doesn’t include vacuuming, pre-vacuuming removes loose dirt and debris, allowing our deep cleaning to focus on embedded soil and stains
- Clear small items from carpeted areas (toys, shoes, clothing, etc.)
- Remove fragile items and electronics from areas to be cleaned
- Ensure clear access to the areas that need cleaning
The Day of Service
- Clear a parking space close to your entrance for our service vehicle, as our equipment needs to remain within 150 feet of the areas being cleaned
- Secure pets in a non-carpeted area or arrange for them to be out of the home
- Raise curtains or drapes off the floor
- Point out any spots or areas of concern to our technicians
- Inform technicians of any recent carpet treatments or cleaning attempts
After Cleaning
- Allow carpets to dry completely before replacing furniture (typically 4-6 hours)
- When replacing furniture, use protective pads under legs to prevent dye transfer or rust marks
- Wait 24 hours before deep cleaning or shampooing any furniture that sits on the carpet
By following these preparation steps, you’ll help us achieve the best possible results for your carpets while protecting your home and belongings during the cleaning process.

You've got questions we've got answers
Carpet Cleaning FAQs
How long will it take my carpets to dry?
Most carpets dry within 4-6 hours. Drying time may vary based on humidity, airflow, and carpet type. We recommend keeping air circulating in recently cleaned rooms to speed drying time.
Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?
For standard cleaning, we move most light furniture. However, we recommend removing small items, breakables, and valuables before our arrival. For larger items like pianos, entertainment centers, and china cabinets, we clean around them for safety reasons.
Can you remove all stains from my carpet?
While our advanced techniques remove most stains, some discolorations may be permanent. Stains from pet urine, red dye (such as Kool-Aid or wine), plant fertilizers, or bleach might not be completely removable. During our pre-inspection, we’ll identify potentially permanent stains and discuss realistic expectations.
Are your cleaning products safe for my family and pets?
Yes, we use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe for your entire family, including children and pets. These solutions are highly effective while being gentle on your home environment.
How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?
For most homes, we recommend professional cleaning every 6-12 months. Homes with children, pets, or smokers benefit from more frequent cleaning, typically every 3-6 months.
Will professional cleaning void my carpet warranty?
No, in fact, most carpet warranties require professional cleaning every 12-24 months. We provide documentation of your cleaning service that you can keep for warranty purposes.
How soon can I walk on my carpet after cleaning?
You can walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning if necessary, but it’s best to limit traffic until completely dry. If you must walk on damp carpet, wear clean white socks to avoid transferring dirt.
Do you offer carpet protection treatments?
Yes, we offer optional carpet protection treatments that help resist future staining and soiling. These treatments create a protective barrier around carpet fibers, making your regular vacuuming more effective and extending the life of your carpet.
