I live in Capitol Hill and work in Bellevue, so I’ve used carpet cleaners on both sides of the lake. In my experience, the Seattle companies tend to be more eco-conscious, while the Bellevue ones often have more high-tech equipment.
One thing I’ve learned is to always ask about their drying process. With Seattle’s humidity, carpets can take forever to dry if they don’t have good extraction equipment. The last thing you want is damp carpets for days – that’s just asking for mold problems.
I’ve also found that the best carpet cleaners in Seattle are the ones who take time to pre-treat stains before cleaning. It makes a huge difference, especially for coffee stains (which, let’s be honest, every Seattle home has plenty of!).
Has anyone tried those carpet cleaning services that also do air duct cleaning? I’m wondering if it’s worth doing both at the same time.
