Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning

How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?

Typically, carpets will be dry to the touch within 4-6 hours. However, complete drying may take 12-24 hours depending on carpet thickness, humidity, and air circulation. We recommend keeping foot traffic minimal until completely dry.

VCT and Tile Cleaning

How often should commercial VCT flooring be stripped and waxed?

Most commercial facilities benefit from a full strip and wax 1-2 times per year, with regular maintenance in between. However, the frequency depends on foot traffic and your facility’s specific needs. We can create a customized maintenance plan for your business.

Grout sealing is offered as an optional service after tile cleaning. We highly recommend it as sealing your grout helps prevent staining and makes future cleaning easier. The sealant typically lasts 1-2 years depending on usage.

We recommend allowing at least 30 minutes for the floor finish to dry before light foot traffic and 24 hours before moving heavy furniture back into the area or using cleaning solutions on the floor.
