If you have an emergency, please call and schedule a visit right away. We know it is hard but try to resist the urge to spot clean yourself.The first attempt is the most important when spot cleaning. If you apply something to the spot and it does not remove, it will become harder to remove on the second attempt.
Yes we do! We understand that some spots or odors can be persistent. We also know that spots can reappear after cleaning. Any company that claims 100% percet removal 100% of the time, is not being realistic.If a spot or odor is going to reappear after cleaning, it will do so within the first 24 hours. If this occurs, please reach out as soon as possible so we can get you on the schedule for a revisit!
Spots can be tricky. When scheduling a cleaning, please let us know if you have long- standing spots. Complete removal of spots depends on a few factors: the age of the spot, the substance causing the spot and most imporantly, did you try to spot clean yourself before scheduling?The most common reason for spots to reappear is something called "Wicking." Wicking occurs when there is a dried substance sitting on top of the carpet pad. During the cleaning process, this substance is re-wetted and will absorb back into the carpet during the drying period. There is no way to know if this will occur until the carpet starts to dry, because, directly after the cleaning, the surface spot will look like it has been removed. Wicking is actually quite common. This is one of the reasons we offer a free revisit with every cleaning.
Yes, traffic patterns are removable. Traffic patterns occur when an area of carpet or area rug is walked on frequently. The soil from shoes embeds into the fibers causing a pattern of a heavy traveled area.If you see a traffic pattern forming, it is time to schedule a cleaning. Heavy traffic patterns left uncared for will eventually cause the fibers to break down. Once this happens, complete removal becomes increasingly difficult.The most common areas for traffic patterns are stairs, hallways, dining rooms, bed perimeters and in front of the sofa.
There are many factors that should be taken into consideration before trying to spot clean your textiles. What you want to avoid is turning a spot into a stain. A spot can potentially be removed, but a stain is permanent. So, if instead of calling a professional, you are considering trying to remove the spot yourself, be cautious. The more cleaning products you use at home, the less likely a professional will be able to successfully remove the spot.With spot cleaning, the first attempt is the most important. If you are not successful with the first attempt, you are basically setting the spot deeper into the textile, which makes it extremely difficult to remove on the second try.So, while we can't say for sure whether home remedies will work or not, we can suggest that the best option is to call DG Textile Care so that the first attempt is performed professionally.
Absolutely not! We do not charge for spot treatment or pet odor treatment for any type of cleaning.We believe that spot treatment and pet odor treatment are part of the cleaning process and are necessary in most cases. We would not charge extra for something that needs to be used to give you the best cleaning possible.
Fabric protection interferes with the ability for soil/spills to become part of the textile, thereby making the fabric easier to clean and extending the life of your upholstery.Please also keep in mind, that, if you purchase furniture that has already had fabric protection applied, it will eventually wear off through everyday use. This is why it is a good idea to have protection re-applied after each professional cleaning.Yes, fabric protection works! The most important things to remember about fabric protection are: 1) Product Quality/Durability -- avoid the water-based fabric protection products that are sold by other companies by choosing a textile cleaning care providerusing higher quality products; and 2) Professional Application-ensure that the fabric protection is applied evenly over the entire surface of the area by seeking professional help and steering clear of products dispensed from a can or hand-held spray bottle.For protection that lasts till your next cleaning, call DG Textile Care. We use the highest quality products in the industry to ensure outstanding results that will extend the life of your textiles.
The difference between a spot and a stain is that a stain is permanent.Having said that, a spot can become a stain if it is not taken care of properly. Let's also note that anything that has red dye in it will most definitely become a stain right away.If you encounter a spot and you are not sure what it is from, it would be our suggestion to call a professional first, even if it is just to ask a question. When spot cleaning, the first attempt is the most important.Fabrics, rugs and carpet are not all the same. They each require a different technique and knowledge is key!
Our turnaround times can vary for outdoor cushions. The quantity of cushions can greatly affect the turnaround time. Some customers choose to have us hold their cushions over the Winter and deliver in the Spring, and some customers would like their cushions back as soon as possible. Having said all that, when a pick up is scheduled, the delivery window will be discussed at that time!
Generally the drying time for carpet can be anywhere between 6 and 8 hours. The type of carpet, soil level and humidity levels can affect drying time. For upholstery, we generally estimate 4 to 6 hours for the drying process. If you have fabric protections applied, that can extend the drying time another 2 hours.
Please feel free to reach out if you would like an estimate or have any questions! We are always here to help! Call 540.338.2151 today!
