WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE AN AREA?Typically, an area is a room that is up to 300 square feet (that is 15 x 20 or approximately the size of a two-car garage). Living room/dining room combos are considered two areas. Any area over 300 square feet but less than 600 square feet is priced as two areas.
-
WHY SHOULD I HAVE A PROTECTOR APPLIED TO MY CLEANED CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY?As the finishing touch to your thoroughly cleaned carpet and/or upholstery, specially formulated protector can be professionally applied. These products help carpet and upholstery resist soiling from dry dirt, water and oil-based spills by wrapping each fiber in a protective coating. This extra layer gives you more time to clean up spots and spills before they soak into the fibers, helping you keep your carpet and upholstery looking its best between professional cleanings. Plus, it makes vacuuming and cleaning up spots easier.
-
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO CLEAN MY CARPETS?On average, it will take approximately 20 minutes per room. This time can vary greatly depending on the amount of furniture to be moved, how soiled the carpet is, and any necessary spot removal treatments.
-
DO I NEED TO VACUUM BEFORE CARPET CLEANING?A light vacuuming in the traffic areas is recommended but not required. If needed, the crew can pre-vacuum the area to be cleaned. Also, the equipment is vacuuming the entire time we are cleaning.
-
DO YOU MOVE FURNITURE WHEN YOU CLEAN CARPET?Yes. There is no charge to move furniture and we are professionally trained to move your furniture. After the cleaning is completed, we will return it to its rightful place on protective padding as needed. We do suggest you remove items off of your furniture like electronics, plants, lamps and knick-knacks. We will move most furniture that can be safely moved. There are several items we will not move, including: pianos, electronics, china cabinets, beds, dressers with mirrors, pool tables, etc.

HOW DO YOU GUARANTEE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WITH CARPET CLEANING?We are happy to work with you to correct any situation that may arise. In some cases this can mean spot cleaning specific areas of concern or even completely re-cleaning the area in question. In the end, we’re not satisfied until you are.
-
STEAM CLEAN CARPET?We often receive questions about steam cleaning carpet. We do not steam clean carpet. We use a process called "Hot Water Extraction"to clean carpet, which is often referred to as steam cleaning because of the steam you see as we clean. We use our patented carpet cleaning machines to deep clean. These machines pump hot water into your carpet to release any dirt deep within the fibers, then extract the water and remove the dirt. The powerful suction removes a significant amount of water so your carpet will dry within hours.
-
WHAT METHOD DO YOU USE FOR CARPET CLEANING?The method we use for carpet cleaning is "Hot Water Extraction," commonly referred to as steam cleaning. Golden Janitorial exclusive hot water extraction method removes the toughest, deepest dirt safely and gently. Hot, soft water and a specially formulated cleaning solution are injected deep within the carpet fibers. Then, a powerful suction extracts deep-down dirt, allergens, cleaning solution and 95% of the moisture. It’s the cleaning method most recommended by carpet manufacturers.
-
DO YOU GUARANTEE REMOVAL OF ALL SPOTS OR STAINS IN THE CARPET?We cannot guarantee that we will remove all carpet spots or stains. There are substances that can permanently discolor the carpet fibers. The age of the carpet and the type of carpet fibers also plays a factor in this. The technician will try to determine if this is the case prior to cleaning but they are not always able to determine this before trying to remove the spots.

HOW DO YOU CLEAN MY TILE AND GROUT?We scrub each individual grout line as well as tiles with tile and grout specific cleaners. We clean using high pressure that hooks up to our truck-mounted unit that will extract the dirt and grime embedded in the grout lines.
-
DO I HAVE TO USE SPECIAL FLOOR CLEANER IF I HAVE THE SEALANT APPLIED?To preserve the life of the sealant, we recommend that you use a neutral cleaner to clean your tile and grout. Rinsing after mopping will also help keep your floors looking their best. You will want to avoid bleach and other harsh chemical cleaners as these can wear away at the sealant and cause it to break down prematurely.
-
WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY GROUT LINES SEALED?Grout is a porous material that absorbs soil and spills, just like carpet. Having a sealant applied will help create a protective barrier, giving you more time to clean up dirt and liquid spills before they soak into the grout.
-
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO STAY OFF THE FLOOR AFTER SEALANT HAS BEEN APPLIED?We recommend that you wait 30 minutes before walking on the floor to allow the sealant to dry. It will take 24 hours for the sealant to cure completely, so we suggest that you avoid any liquid coming in contact with the sealant during that time.
-
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY TILE FLOOR CLEANED?As with carpet, many factors must be considered when determining the frequency of tile and grout cleaning. Foot traffic, children, pets, and routine floor maintenance will affect how often you need to have your tile and grout cleaned.
-
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE MY TILE FLOOR CLEANED?For an average size room (up to 300 square feet), it typically takes 30–60 minutes to clean the tile & grout. This can vary based on a number of factors including the size of the tile, amount of soil in the grout lines, and room configuration. If you choose to have sealant added, it typically takes 2–3 hours to complete the entire process
-
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY FURNITURE TO DRY?Your specific upholstery fabric will determine which cleaning method we use. While the cleaning method along with optional protector application determines the drying time, typical dry time ranges from 6-12 hours.
-
HOW TO CLEAN UPHOLSTERY?Cleaning upholstery can vary greatly based on the fabric. Before you clean upholstery make sure you check the manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Typically, the tag of any upholstered furniture will have one of four different letters on it. W — You can clean this material using water. S — No water. You’ll need to purchase a special solvent-based cleaner. WS — You can use water or a solvent-based cleaner on this sofa. X — Vacuum only. This will help you choose the appropriate cleaning method.
