Question 2

How long does carpet cleaning take to dry?

Accepted Answer

With our patent pending rotary extraction process and truck-mounted equipment, most carpets dry in 2–4 hours — significantly faster than standard steam cleaning which can take 6–12 hours. We use high-heat extraction that removes more moisture from the fiber, so you're back on your carpet the same day.

Question 3

How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?

Accepted Answer

The IICRC recommends professional carpet cleaning every 12–18 months for average households. Homes with pets, children, or allergy sufferers should clean every 6–12 months. High-traffic areas may need attention more frequently. Regular professional cleaning extends carpet life and maintains your manufacturer warranty.

Question 4

What is the patent pending cleaning process Absolute Floors & More uses?

Accepted Answer

Our patent pending process uses a rotary extraction method combined with neutralized, residue-free chemistry. Unlike standard steam cleaning that pumps detergents into the water line (leaving chemical residue in your carpet), our process removes all chemistry after cleaning. The result is a deeper clean that's safer for children, pets, and allergy sufferers.

Question 5

Can you remove old, set-in stains from carpet?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Our patent pending process and professional-grade chemistry can remove stains that standard cleaning cannot — including pet urine, red wine, coffee, grease, and years-old set-in stains. Results depend on the type of stain, how long it's been there, and the carpet fiber. We'll give you an honest assessment before we start.

Question 6

Is your carpet cleaning safe for kids and pets?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Every product we use is neutral and residue-free. We never use harsh detergents or shampoos that leave chemical residue in the carpet fibers. Our chemistry is safe for children and pets immediately after drying. This is one of the core reasons we developed our patent pending process — to protect the families we serve.

Question 7

Can you restore grout that has turned black or dark?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our high-pressure tile and grout cleaning system removes years of embedded dirt, mold, and bacteria from grout lines — restoring the original color in most cases. We also offer grout sealing after cleaning to protect the surface and keep it looking clean longer.

Question 8

How long does tile and grout cleaning take?

Accepted Answer

A standard kitchen or bathroom takes 1–2 hours. Larger areas like entryways, mudrooms, or full-home tile floors may take 2–4 hours. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you call for your free quote.

Question 9

How do I know if my air ducts need cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Signs your air ducts need cleaning include: visible dust or debris around vents, musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs, increased allergy symptoms indoors, dust settling quickly after cleaning, or if you've never had them cleaned and have lived in the home more than 3–5 years. We recommend cleaning every 3–5 years for most homes.

Question 10

Does air duct cleaning really improve air quality?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when done properly. Our air duct cleaning removes accumulated dust, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, and debris from your HVAC system. Many customers report noticeable improvement in indoor air quality, reduced allergy symptoms, and better HVAC efficiency within days of cleaning.

Question 11

How much does air duct cleaning cost in Colorado Springs?

Accepted Answer

Air duct cleaning in Colorado Springs typically ranges from $300–$600 for a standard home, depending on the number of vents, system size, and level of buildup. Call (719) 896-6274 for a free, no-obligation quote.

Question 12

How often should dryer vents be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

The National Fire Protection Association recommends cleaning dryer vents at least once per year. Homes with heavy laundry use, long vent runs, or multiple occupants may need cleaning every 6 months. Clogged dryer vents are the leading cause of house fires — over 15,000 per year in the US.

Question 13

What are the signs of a clogged dryer vent?

Accepted Answer

Warning signs include: clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, the dryer or clothes feeling unusually hot, a burning smell during operation, the exterior vent flap not opening when the dryer runs, or it's been more than a year since the last cleaning. If you notice any of these, call us immediately.

Question 14

How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Dryer vent cleaning in Colorado Springs typically costs $80–$150 depending on vent length and accessibility. It's one of the most cost-effective home safety services you can invest in — and it often pays for itself in energy savings within a few months.

Question 15

Can you completely remove pet urine odor from carpet?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. We use enzyme-based treatments that break down urine crystals at the molecular level — not just masking the odor, but neutralizing it at the source. For severe cases where urine has soaked through to the pad and subfloor, we'll give you an honest assessment of what's achievable and what may require pad replacement.

Question 16

My carpet looks clean but still smells like pet urine. Why?

Accepted Answer

Urine crystals bond to carpet fibers and become more concentrated as they dry. Standard cleaning can actually reactivate the odor by re-wetting the crystals. Our enzyme treatment specifically targets and breaks down uric acid crystals — the source of the smell — rather than just cleaning the surface.

Question 17

Can rippled or buckled carpet be fixed without replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes — in most cases. Carpet ripples and buckles are caused by improper installation, humidity changes, or heavy furniture movement. Our carpet restretching service uses a power stretcher to re-tension the carpet and eliminate ripples permanently. This is a fraction of the cost of replacement and the results are immediate.

Question 18

Can you repair carpet that has been damaged by pets or burns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can patch damaged sections using carpet from a closet or remnant, re-seam separating seams, and repair burns, tears, and pet damage. In many cases the repair is virtually invisible. We'll assess the damage and give you an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Question 19

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve Colorado Springs and a full 50-mile radius including Fountain, Pueblo, Monument, Castle Rock, Woodland Park, Manitou Springs, Black Forest, Falcon, Peyton, Security-Widefield, Cimarron Hills, and many more communities. Call (719) 896-6274 to confirm service to your area.
