That's easy – the stain on a company's reputation is certainly the most difficult stain to remove. That is why it is the policy of Reliable Carpet & Upholstery Care's management, staff and technicians to always try to "go the extra mile" to ensure you are completely satisfied with our services.

Reliable has several hundred reviews submitted primarily to Google, Yelp and Homestars. In every case, they are checked and verified by Google, Yelp or Homestars prior to appearing online. As well, Reliable has never – ever - paid for nor offered a discount in exchange for a good review. Our policy is that such action would be cause for immediate termination.

A lot of factors come into play when determining optimal carpet cleaning intervals, the most important being your manufacturer's warranty. Most manufacturers recommend professional, hot water extraction cleaning every 12 months. If you have indoor pets, kids, or suffer from allergies, more frequent cleaning is recommended (every 6-9 months).

We will require access to a threaded water faucet. Any spots or areas of concern should be noted during the pre-cleaning inspection, so our technicians can effectively treat these areas. Remove any loose or breakable items from furnishing to be moved. It is also best to secure pets and children somewhere outside of the area to be cleaned.

We will remove and replace most furniture (with the exception of large, heavy items and electronic equipment). We do ask that you clear loose and breakable items from the furniture we will be moving.

Generally, it takes 20 to 30 minutes per room to properly clean your carpets. Of course, this timeline varies based on the amount of furniture to be moved, the degree of soiling, and any stain removal treatments that need to be applied.

Typically carpets will dry within a day. We encourage you to keep pets and small children off the carpet during this time. Also, be aware that dirty shoes that can transfer soil to your newly clean carpet. Use caution when walking from damp carpeting onto adjacent wood or tile floors as wet feet can cause one to slip and fall.

Yes. We use hot water extraction to clean your carpets and once completed this process leaves no harsh chemicals in your carpets.

We cannot guarantee that all spots and stains will be removed. There are substances that can permanently discolour your carpet's fibres. The age and type of carpet fibres also play a part. Our technician will try to determine this before cleaning, but it may not always be possible before trying to remove the stains.

No. That problem occurs from residues left in the carpet that attract dirt. This is caused by detergents used in the cleaning process that are not rinsed properly and completely. We use low residual cleaning agents, and our hot water extraction with a non-residual rinse eliminates this problem.

Carpet protector is the finishing touch to having your carpet and/or upholstery cleaned. A specially formulated protector can be professionally applied to help your carpet resist stains and soiling from dry dirt, and both water and oil-based spills. This layer of protection gives you more time to clean up spots and spills before they soak in and become permanent. This helps your carpet to look its best between cleanings, and makes vacuuming easier.

All carpet warranties are different, but most manufacturers require that you have your carpet professionally cleaned with hot water extraction at least every 12 months. Some manufacturers require more frequent cleaning. You should read your warranty paperwork to determine what criteria you must meet.

Our hot water extraction cleaning methods will generally remove most pet stains and odours, however, in extreme cases pet urine can permanently stain your carpets. Our technician will try to determine this before cleaning, but it may not always be possible before trying to remove the stains.
