Patrick arrived within the scheduled time, moved furniture that we requested moved and went right to work. Our light colored 15 year old sofa came clean like magic.

I stopped cleaning our rug four years ago during an extended home construction period and didn't resume because of major surgery. Patrick pretreated the rug and used the same proprietary chemicals to get it as clean as it was before.

Despite a rainy day, the rug and sofa felt dry to the touch within a half day, but by kneeling on the heavy traffic areas and sofa cushions I could feel some dampness; Patrick said we might. We ran a dehumidifyer over night and everything was dry the next morning.

I cleaned our carpets twice a year for 30 years but it is back-breaking work. Scrubbing the new (14 year old) rug by hand, with its deeper nap, takes a full day. Extracting ALL the water requires many passes with heavy arm pressure. Chem-Dry's scrubber and powerful vacuum make short work out of an exhausting job.
