Carpet & Upholstery
Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning in Los Angeles using hot water extraction, low-moisture methods, and specialized stain treatments for homes and businesses.
1 provider listed
Carpets and upholstered furniture trap dirt, allergens, pet dander, dust mites, and odors that regular vacuuming cannot fully remove. Professional cleaning uses hot water extraction (steam cleaning), low-moisture encapsulation, or dry compound methods depending on the fabric type and soiling level. Hot water extraction is the most thorough method and is recommended by major carpet manufacturers to maintain warranty coverage. Los Angeles homes with pets, children, or high foot traffic especially benefit from professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months, and the results are immediately visible in both appearance and indoor air quality improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Los Angeles?
Most LA carpet cleaners charge per room or per square foot. Per-room pricing typically runs $40 to $80 per room, with a common minimum of 3 rooms or a $150 service minimum. Per-square-foot pricing ranges from $0.20 to $0.50. A full house with 4 carpeted rooms and a hallway usually costs $200 to $400. Upholstery cleaning is priced per piece: a sofa runs $100 to $200, and an armchair $50 to $100.
How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?
With hot water extraction, carpets typically dry in 6 to 12 hours depending on airflow, humidity, and carpet thickness. LA's dry climate helps significantly compared to more humid areas. Running fans, opening windows, and setting the air conditioning to a low temperature speeds drying. Low-moisture methods like encapsulation dry in 1 to 2 hours and are a good option when fast turnaround is needed.
Can professional cleaning remove pet stains and odors?
Professional cleaning can remove most pet stains and significantly reduce odors, but results depend on how long the stain has been set and whether it has soaked through to the padding. Surface-level pet stains respond well to enzyme-based pre-treatments followed by hot water extraction. Stains that have reached the carpet pad may require pad treatment or replacement. Technicians can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
The Carpet and Rug Institute recommends professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months for households without pets or heavy traffic. Homes with pets or children should clean every 6 to 12 months. Allergy sufferers benefit from quarterly professional cleaning. Many carpet warranties require professional cleaning at least every 12 to 18 months to remain valid, so check your warranty documentation.
