If your home or business has rugs and carpets, sooner or later, you’re going to need a professional carpet cleaning service.
Even if your carpet doesn’t look dirty, it could be hiding dust, fleas, mold, and even bacteria, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The American Lung Association warns that dust in carpets can affect your health. Animals shed, as do humans, and all of this debris builds up in carpets over time.
Vacuuming may take care of everyday messes, but experts at the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification recommend a deep professional carpet cleaning at least once per year, and more often for high-traffic areas.
We list the professional carpet cleaning services to consider below.
Which Carpet Cleaning Service Should I Choose?
There are many carpet cleaning services available, and it can be hard to know how all the different services compare.
To save you time and help you make an informed decision, we have compiled the list of national and regional carpet cleaning services, along with important information about each one.
Here’s our methodology:
- Prices are based on service in Los Angeles County.
- Residential prices are based on three rooms, each 12 feet by 12 feet.
