Question 1

How does CanaClean™ remove pet urine stains and odors from carpets and rugs?

Accepted Answer

At CanaClean™, we specialize in professional pet urine and odor removal using advanced IICRC-certified cleaning techniques designed to permanently neutralize odors and restore your carpets, rugs, and upholstery.
Pet urine doesn’t just leave visible stains — it penetrates deep into carpet fibers, backing, and even the subfloor, where bacteria and odor compounds form. Standard household cleaners or deodorizing sprays only mask the smell temporarily.
Our process begins with a detailed inspection using specialized tools to detect hidden urine deposits. We then apply enzymatic treatments that break down the organic compounds responsible for odor and discoloration. Finally, our hot water extraction cleaning thoroughly rinses away residues, leaving your carpets truly clean and fresh.
We don’t cover up odors — we eliminate them at the source.
Whether you’re dealing with fresh accidents or long-term pet damage, CanaClean™ can help restore your flooring and improve your indoor air quality safely and effectively.
Book your professional pet urine and odor removal service today to enjoy a healthier, fresher home environment — backed by certified expertise and proven results.

Question 3

How Long Does It Take for Carpets to Dry After Cleaning?

Accepted Answer

At CanaClean™, we believe in transparency and expert information—not marketing gimmicks.
Many carpet cleaning companies oversell and exaggerate drying times to make one cleaning method sound faster or more convenient than another. The truth is simple: carpets are textiles, and just like freshly washed clothes, they need proper time and airflow to dry completely after a deep, professional clean.
Realistic Carpet Drying Times
When cleaned using our IICRC-certified equipment and the appropriate method for your carpet or rug, the average drying time ranges from 1 to 4 hours.
Actual drying time depends on several factors, including:
 • Carpet or Rug Construction: Fiber type and pile density affect airflow and moisture retention.
 • Soil and Contamination Levels: Heavily soiled carpets, grease, or organic buildup require more thorough rinsing.
 • Special Services: Spot treatments, odor control, or fabric protectors can extend drying time slightly.
 • Atmospheric Conditions: Temperature, humidity, and indoor ventilation all play a role in drying speed.
How to Speed Up Carpet Drying
To promote faster and more efficient drying after your cleaning service:
 • Maximize Airflow: Turn on ceiling or portable fans to move air directly over cleaned areas.
 • Increase Heat: Set your thermostat to around 21°C (70°F) to accelerate evaporation.
 • Ventilate: Open windows slightly to allow moist air to escape and promote circulation.
Your CanaClean™ technician will provide a precise drying estimate during your appointment, ensuring realistic expectations and optimal results.
Experience a deeper, faster-drying clean—done the right way.

Question 4

“Does Carpet Improve Indoor Air Quality?”

Accepted Answer

Even though it may surprise many homeowners, carpet can actually improve indoor air quality compared to hard surfaces like tile, vinyl, or hardwood floors. For those with asthma, allergies, or respiratory sensitivities, carpet offers a healthier flooring choice when properly maintained.
The fibers in carpet act as a natural air filter, trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles that would otherwise circulate in the air or settle on smooth floors. By capturing these allergens and holding them until the next vacuuming or professional cleaning, carpet helps reduce asthma and allergy triggers in your home or workspace.
With regular vacuuming and periodic professional hot water extraction cleaning, carpet remains one of the most effective ways to maintain cleaner, healthier indoor air.

Question 6

How Often Should You Get Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned?

Accepted Answer

There’s no single rule that applies to every home or workspace—but regular carpet maintenance is essential to keeping your indoor environment clean and healthy. Routine vacuuming helps remove surface dust, allergens, and debris, but only professional carpet cleaning can reach deep into the fibers to extract embedded soil and contaminants.
Most carpet manufacturers recommend professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months, depending on use and environmental conditions. However, several factors influence how often your carpets and rugs may need service:
 • Foot Traffic: High-traffic areas or busy households (with kids or pets) tend to collect dirt and oils more quickly.
 • Lifestyle & Environment: Homes with smokers, frequent cooking, or exposure to outdoor pollutants—like wildfire smoke—require more frequent cleaning.
 • Air Quality & Allergens: All carpets, rugs, and textiles act as passive air filters, trapping dust, pollen, and airborne particles. Waiting until your carpet looks dirty means it has already trapped too much buildup.
If you walk barefoot indoors, cook often, or have pets and children, schedule professional carpet and rug cleaning every 6 months to maintain cleanliness, protect fibers, and promote healthier indoor air quality.
Don’t wait until your carpets look dirty—keep them healthy year-round.

Question 7

Can Improper Carpet Cleaning Void My Warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most residential and commercial carpet manufacturers include specific cleaning and maintenance guidelines in their product warranties. These instructions outline the recommended cleaning frequency, approved cleaning methods, and the responsibilities of the carpet owner to maintain warranty coverage.
Failing to follow these manufacturer guidelines can void your carpet warranty, even if the damage isn’t visible right away. To stay compliant and protect your investment, carpets should be professionally deep cleaned every 6 to 12 months by an IICRC-certified cleaning firm like CanaClean™.
Regular professional cleaning not only keeps your carpets looking their best but also helps maintain fiber integrity, stain resistance, and indoor air quality — all while keeping your manufacturer warranty valid.
Protect your carpet investment the right way.

Question 8

Do you clean carpet on cat posts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do! CanaClean™ offers professional cleaning for cat posts and cat trees. Because each item varies in size, material, and soil level, this service is priced on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best care and results for your pet furniture.
📞 Contact CanaClean™ today for a personalized quote or to add cat post cleaning to your next carpet or upholstery service.

Question 9

What Are the Benefits of Applying Carpet Protector After Cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Carpet and Rug protectors are available upon request at CanaClean™.
If you choose to add this service, our technicians will apply a professional-grade textile protector as the final step after your carpets and rugs have been thoroughly cleaned. This treatment forms a protective coating around each fiber, helping to repel dry soil, water, and oil-based spills while reducing everyday wear.
The added protection gives you extra time to clean up spills and prevent stains from penetrating deep into the fibers—keeping your carpets and rugs looking cleaner, longer.
Ask about adding carpet or rug protector to your next CanaClean™ service for lasting protection and easier maintenance.
