How Professional Odor Removal Works

Most people don’t realize that kids’ stains, wear and tear, and strong pet smells can be removed or greatly reduced. With the right process, a “tired” sofa turns into a clean, fresh centerpiece again — the kind of couch you’re proud to sit on yourself and happy to invite guests to.
At the same time, your couch is where you spend hours with your family — and it quietly collects dust, mold spores, bacteria, pet dander, and even parasite eggs if your cats or dogs love that spot. The same happens with rugs and mattresses. That’s why I’m sure of one thing: deep cleaning of furniture, rugs, and mattresses is not a luxury — it’s the basic hygiene of your space.
Charlotte Steamers is my way to bring that standard into modern homes in Charlotte, one couch at a time.
Our rug and carpet pricing is straightforward with no hidden fees. Area rugs are priced by material: polyester rugs are $1.5 per sq ft, and jute, wool, cotton, and linen rugs are $2 per sq ft. Wall-to-wall carpet is $1.5 per sq ft, and a stair flight is $75. If you’re not sure about the material or size, send a photo and dimensions for a quick, accurate quote.
In many cases, yes — we can significantly reduce or remove pet urine odors, but results depend on how deep it soaked in, how old it is, and what was used on it before. The key is treating it properly and extracting thoroughly. Tell us about the accident history so we can choose the right approach.
We clean most area rugs, including synthetic rugs and many natural-fiber rugs. The method depends on the material and construction, so we always take fabric type into account before we start. If you’re not sure what your rug is made of, send a quick photo and we’ll advise what’s safe.
We clean with the rug’s material in mind and avoid harsh methods that can cause issues. That said, risk depends on fiber type, dyes, backing, and previous wear or DIY products. We’ll choose the safest process we can and set expectations upfront — especially for delicate or older rugs.
Timing depends on rug size, how soiled it is, and whether there are spots or pet issues to treat. Most area rug cleanings can be completed within a normal appointment window, and we’ll confirm an accurate time estimate when we quote your rug. Photos help us plan it fast.
Dry time depends on rug thickness, airflow, and humidity. With normal room airflow, many rugs dry within the same day or by the next morning. If you need it faster, ask about our quick-dry option with air movers, which can reduce dry time significantly in many cases.
If you can clear small items, that’s helpful. For larger furniture, don’t stress — we can work around it or move light pieces as needed during the cleaning. If you want the entire rug fully cleaned wall-to-wall, tell us ahead of time so we can plan for a clear space.
Yes. We take precautions to protect hardwood and avoid excess moisture contact. We focus on controlled application and thorough extraction, and we’ll advise on airflow and dry time so everything dries safely. If your floors are sensitive or recently refinished, mention it before we start.
Yes — rugs can hold dust, allergens, and pet dander deep in the fibers even when they look clean. Professional cleaning helps remove what regular vacuuming can’t reach. We use premium organic, hypoallergenic products and extract thoroughly, so the rug feels fresher and cleaner for your space.
Most rugs do best with a professional cleaning every 6–12 months. If you have pets, kids, allergies, or heavy foot traffic, plan closer to every 3–6 months. Regular deep cleaning helps remove embedded dust and grit that wears fibers down over time and keeps your rug looking brighter longer.
Often it’s worth cleaning—especially if the rug is well-made, expensive to replace, or has sentimental value. Deep cleaning can lift dullness, remove odors, and improve the overall look. If the rug is heavily worn, fraying, or has permanent dye damage, we’ll tell you honestly what results to expect.
