This is the easiest and fairest way to charge. Give Lakeshore Carpet Care a call for a free in-home estimate at 1-231-852-4663.

As stated above we will tailor the cleaning room by room for your needs. We are professionally trained to move your furniture, and return it to its rightful place when cleaning is completed. There are several items we do not move, such as pianos, electronics, china cabinets, waterbeds, some large beds, dressers with mirrors, etc. We do suggest you remove items off your furniture like plants, lamps and knick knacks.

Dry time is affected by humidity, temperature, and airflow to the area. It can take anywhere between 8 and 24 hours for the carpet to completely dry, depending on the aforementioned variables. Using fans in any rooms cleaned and turning your air conditioning or heating system on, depending on the time of year, can help accelerate drying time. Be sure to leave the protective blocks under furniture legs and any paper used with upholstered items in place until the carpet and/or furniture is completely dry to avoid any color transfer. You may walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning, but avoid wearing street shoes, as they may re-soil your carpet. We suggest wearing clean rubber soled shoes. Be especially careful when walking from damp, carpeted areas on to non-carpeted areas to avoid slipping.

The problem results from residues being left in the carpet which attract dirt. Usually, this is caused by using soap in the cleaning process that hasn’t been rinsed out completely. Our specially formulated solution and hot water extraction cleaning process leaves little to no residue behind to attract dirt.

Although most spots removed from carpet do not reappear, some substances in carpet backing may wick to the surface after cleaning. If this happens, please call us back as soon as possible.

As the carpet dries, these bubbles or ripples should start to lay flat again. Once it is dry they should be virtually unnoticeable. This is usually a sign that the carpet needed re-stretching prior to the cleaning. If these ripples do not go away after it is completely dry, please call us back as soon as possible.

When comparing prices, make sure you ask a lot of questions and please keep a few things in mind. Our price includes treating for spots, having an IICRC Certified Technician in your home, and a 10-day satisfaction policy. There are no hidden fees or additional charges. Also, we never sub-contract, so you will always have properly trained employees. This is what allows us to stand behind all our work.

While professional cleaning may impact the protective coating on your furniture, the dry soils that accumulate on it over time – along with the strain of daily living – cause this coating to deteriorate. To keep your valuable upholstered furniture protected from the damage of dry soil, we can re-apply this coating following cleaning.
