COMMON QUESTIONS

Carpet cleaning FAQ

How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?

Many homes consider professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months, but the right interval depends on pets, children, allergies, foot traffic and the carpet manufacturer’s guidance. Commercial properties may need a more frequent maintenance plan.

Can professional cleaning remove every stain?

No responsible company can promise that every stain will disappear. Results depend on the fibre, stain source, age, colour loss and previous treatment. We explain what appears realistic before work begins.

Can carpet cleaning help with pet odours?

Cleaning can improve many pet-related odours, but results depend on how deeply contamination has reached. Odour that has entered the underlay or subfloor may require additional treatment or another type of remediation.

Is carpet cleaning safe for homes with children and pets?

Appropriate products and methods can be selected for occupied homes. Tell us about sensitivities, children and pets when requesting the quote, and keep them away from active work areas until the carpet is ready.

How long will the carpet take to dry?

Drying varies with the method, fibre, carpet thickness, ventilation and humidity. We provide guidance for the property after the service rather than promising one universal time.

Do I need to move furniture?

Remove small items, breakables and loose clutter. Larger items depend on the room, access and booked scope. We can explain what should be moved before the appointment.

Do you clean office and commercial carpets?

Yes. MJM Cleaning provides carpet cleaning for offices and other commercial spaces in Ottawa, with scheduling discussed around access and business operations.

What should I include when requesting a quote?

Include the property type, number of rooms or areas, stairs, major stains, pets, odours, access limitations and preferred timing. Photographs can help clarify the condition.

PRICING FACTORS

What affects a carpet-cleaning quote?

Useful pricing starts with accurate information about the property and the work required.

Size and Layout

Room count, stairs, hallways, open areas and access all affect the time and setup required.

Condition and Soil Level

Routine maintenance differs from heavy traffic buildup, move-related cleaning or neglected carpet.

Focused Treatment

Specific stains, odours and pet concerns may require additional assessment, products and time.

For the most useful estimate, send MJM Cleaning the approximate room or area count, property type and photographs of major problem areas when available. The online cleaning quote form provides space to describe your priorities.

BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT

How to prepare for carpet cleaning

  • Remove small items, toys, breakables and loose floor clutter.
  • Point out stains, odours, pet areas and previous treatments.
  • Secure pets and keep children away from active work areas.
  • Provide a clear path to the rooms being cleaned.
  • Ask which larger furniture items should be moved before arrival.
  • Share parking, elevator, security or building-access instructions.

AFTER CLEANING

Drying and aftercare

Drying time is influenced by the cleaning method, carpet thickness, ventilation and weather. Keep airflow moving when practical and avoid unnecessary foot traffic until the carpet is ready. If an item must be placed back before the carpet is fully dry, ask how to protect the carpet and furniture.

Vacuuming regularly after the service helps control loose soil. Promptly blotting new spills—without aggressive rubbing or unapproved chemicals—can also help prevent a small incident from becoming a difficult stain.

WHAT WE HANDLE

Carpet cleaning matched to your property

Each quote is based on the space, carpet condition and level of detail required—not a one-size-fits-all package.

Residential Carpet Cleaning

Bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, stairs, apartments, move-ins, move-outs and seasonal refreshes. Tell us about children, pets or sensitivities when booking.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning

Offices, reception areas, corridors and customer-facing spaces. Scheduling can be discussed around operating hours, access and site requirements.

Stains, Odours & Traffic Lanes

Focused attention for spills, tracked-in dirt, pet concerns and visibly worn areas. Treatment options depend on the source, age and carpet fibre.

A DEEPER CLEAN

What professional carpet cleaning can address

Regular vacuuming removes loose surface debris, but fine soil and residue can settle deeper into carpet fibres. Professional cleaning combines suitable equipment, products and technique to loosen and remove more of that buildup. The exact approach should be selected after considering the fibre, backing, colourfastness, level of soil and any previous treatments.

Carpet cleaning can improve appearance, reduce trapped dust and make high-use rooms feel fresher. It can also support a broader residential cleaning plan or scheduled commercial cleaning service in Ottawa. Results vary, so the first step is an honest review of the carpet and the client’s priorities.

Realistic expectations matter

Many spots and odours can be improved, but permanent colour loss, fibre damage and some old stains may remain. We discuss the condition and likely outcome before the work begins.
