Local Weather And Your Carpet Cleaning Schedule

Book after summer beach season or once smoke clears, and schedule move-out cleaning before the June rush.
Carpet Cleaning FAQ For Santa Barbara, CA
Can Fine Wool Rugs Be Cleaned Safely?
Yes, but they are usually best cleaned off-site by a rug specialist. Ask about dye testing, gentle washing and controlled drying.
How Do I Remove Beach Sand From Carpet?
Vacuum slowly and often, using a beater bar if your carpet allows it. Professional hot water extraction removes the fine sand that settles deep into the pile.
