Best carpet spot cleaner

In an ideal world, a professional cleaner like us could come out to clean up each and every spill on your carpet or upholstery, but in reality that would get very expensive! So it’s good to have some spot cleaners at home that you can use to help reduce the noticeable spots in between professional deep cleanings.

So what spot cleaner is best for carpet or upholstery? Our own! When you hire us, we give you a free spot cleaner with free lifetime refills!

If you don’t hire us, or run out and need some in a pinch, we recommend getting Folex from the local grocery store. Folex is very safe and effective, and it won’t harm your carpet like Resolve or OxiClean, or anything with optical brighteners. It can be effective at getting spots out of carpet like dirt, grime, food spills and even wine stains! For more troublesome spots like urine, feces or blood, special cleaners and equipment are needed to properly sanitize the area.

Holiday cleaning and donations to the Boys and Girls Club

This past week, we got to visit the Edmonds Boys and Girls Club and donate $1,000 to them!

As a small, local company, we like to give back as much as possible! The Boys and Girls Club does great work for the local kids and deserves our support, so not only will we continue to donate money, but also our time. Consider doing the same if you want to help out!

Also, feel free to take advantage of our holiday special: $30 off any service before Christmas or shortly after the new year. We look forward to serving you!

Cleaning dog stains off a couch

If you’re in the Greater Seattle area, chances are that you have pets of some kind. Many people have dogs here, so many people have couches that need to be cleaned. It’s about that simple!

We recently cleaned this couch for one our clients. Not did the dog pee on the couch, but there were just general spots from dog oils, coffee spills, food spots, and other various things on the couch. Fortunately, we have the upholstery cleaners made specifically for all of those things and made a huge difference! Check out the photo below to see what we can do when we clean upholstery!

Professional carpet cleaning or Bissell or Rug Doctor?

This is one of the most common questions we get, so we like to revisit it every now and then. Should you use a Rug Doctor, a Bissell, or another grocery store rental carpet cleaner, or hire a professional carpet cleaning company? In short, a good, professional carpet cleaner will always be best…but is it always worth the money? Not necessarily.

Rug Doctors and other similar cleaning machine certainly have their place. They are better than just vacuuming, but only if used properly. The problem is, people often put too much cleaner down on the carpet (or in upholstery) and due to the power constraints of an electrically powered cleaning machine, the carpet cleaner might not have enough vacuum power to extract the water. Then the carpet ends up being wet for a long time!

With a professional, you can get a much deeper clean, faster dry times, and a healthier home. But again, this is also only if it’s done correctly! When hiring a carpet cleaning company, make sure they know the proper processes, have the best equipment, and use products that are safe for your home, pets and children!

Clean carpet before or after the Holidays?

Now that we are in full swing Holiday mode, there’s often a debate whether it’s better to have your carpet or upholstery cleaned before the holidays or after. We say, either…or both! It depends what your needs are and how we can best serve you.

The case for before: You want to impress your guests and show them what a nice-looking, clean smelling home you have by cleaning the carpet and furniture before they arrive. Especially if they are staying with you!

The case for after: There will inevitably be spills on carpet, spots on couches, food stains on the furniture, etc. So why not wait until after the holidays are over, so we can come in and clean up the mess!

Either way, our holiday schedule books up quickly, so make sure to call, text or email soon to get your spot reserved. We look forward to serving you soon!

Discounted Holiday carpet cleaning

It’s that time of year! Getting ready for parties, family coming into town, and celebrating the holidays with friends. You want your carpet to look nice and presentable for them, right? Well then surely you’ll want to take advantage of special holiday pricing.

But wait! The unfortunate truth is that many carpet cleaners, upholstery cleaners, and tile cleaners are rarely offering a discount when they say they are. Have you ever been quoted over the phone by someone who says “Well our normal price is x but I’ll give you 30% off”? Why would they give a random caller such a large discount? The answer is, they don’t.

Most companies raise their initial quote so that when they include the discount, it’s back to their normal pricing (I know this from speaking with other business owners over the years). It’s not an honest practice, but it’s become industry standard for carpet cleaning.

Here at Sno-King, we will never use dishonest tactics to get your business. All our pricing is up front, and the discounts below are our actual discounts that we run all year around (with some occasional specials).

We are booking up for the holidays, so call or email us soon to grab your spot!

Discounts:
20% off for empty homes

20% off for non-profit organizations

Best time of year to get carpet cleaned?

Did you know that carpet cleaning tends to be a very seasonal business? Often times it is slower in the winter, as people don't want the cold air getting in their house, kids aren't playing outside and running in with dirty shoes, and pet stains don't have as noticeable of smells when it's cold out. However, with our unique process, it doesn't matter what time of year we do carpet cleaning for you.

We use several high efficiency fans, so even if it's not as warm in your house, the carpet will still dry quickly! Also, we take extra precautions to keep the door closed when it's cold out. 

As spring is upon us and the warm weather starts to hit, we get very booked up. Make sure to contact us right away for a free quote!

Pet odor in carpet in warmer weather

Have you ever noticed that your house starts to smells like pet odor in the spring or summer when the weather gets warmer? That's likely because a pet had an accident in the winter and it's been sitting there waiting to be fed by humidity! Some of the bacteria in urine is fed by moisture, so that's why pet stains will start to smell more when it's warmer and more humid outside.

If you need professional cleaning for pet stains or odor, we are the ones to call! Pet stain and odor removal is our specialty, and we have the most thorough methods in the industry. Call, text or email to talk to us and set up an appointment today!
