Furniture Regular Maintenance

Maintaining Furniture Between Cleanings

Immediately After Cleaning:

Pay Attention to Drying

After cleaning your upholstered furniture will be slightly damp for up to 24 hours, depending on the temperature, air flow and humidity in your home. You can help speed up the drying process by keeping throw pillows or blankets off of damp furniture, running fans, including the summer fan on your furnace, opening windows (in summer) and keeping the area warm. If your furniture is not dry within a day, please contact us.

Spots & Stains

When stains have soaked thoroughly into upholstery, they often spread below the surface into the foam or batting, and cleaning can cause residues to “wick up”, causing stains to reappear or even appear larger after cleaning. If you have any concerns with reappearing stains, or any of the results of your cleaning, even after everything has dried, please telephone us.

Regular Maintenance –  Tips for Keeping Upholstery Looking Great

Vacuum thoroughly: Although it may not be obvious, dust and dirt settle into your upholstery from the air and every day use. Vacuuming your furniture thoroughly with the furniture attachment of your vacuum helps to keep your furniture looking great longer. How frequently you should vacuum is based on how must dust is in the home and how much the furniture is used.

Spot Clean: If you have a small spill or spot, clean it carefully and quickly, while it is still wet, following our stain guide. Use an absorbent material such as a cloth diaper or disposable diaper or feminine pad to absorb as much as possible. If there is a large volume of liquid, we recommend calling a professional, as it will be difficult to extract on your own. Visit our Stain Guide for at home spot and stain tips!

Get Your Furniture Treated with Professional Fabric Protector: Fabric Protector helps fabrics resist soiling and makes cleaning up spots and spills easier. PLUS we make it easy for you to keep your furniture looking great, with our Protection Guarantee: For 1 year from the date that we apply Fabric Protector to your upholstery, we will return up to two times for FREE to treat spots and stains on the treated furniture items! 

Keep up the Cleaning: Your furniture should be professionally cleaned every 12-24 months in order to maintain your investment and keep it looking great for as long as possible. Cleaning your furniture regularly can prevent premature wear, improve appearance and prolong its life.

What Our Customers Have To Say

Alberta carpet cleaning cleaned my carpets.I am beyond impressed. I didn’t think service like this existed anymore. A real person (Anna), not AI, did the booking using text messages. Convenient and effective. Mark cleaned my carpets. The results are amazing. My carpets hadn’t been cleaned since the house was built 18 years ago. I thought for sure they needed to be replaced. Excellent results. Excellent service. Excellent experience. Professional and knowledgeable employees. Fair price considering the expense of replacement.

I've had ACC come in a few years ago to clean the ducts and furnace and it was a fast but thorough and professional job. Once the last child moved out it was time to clean the carpet as any parent can relate so I called ACC back and the service tech did not disappoint. He came in and immediately took precautions to protect the entryway and landing, we walked through the house and confirmed what was happening (Stairway, hallway and three rooms) and pricing. Once he got started he wore the appropriate PPE and was done in about an hour. The carpets looked new again, the whole upstairs looked completely refreshed. Everything was completely dry by the next morning (he was done by just after noon) and still looked fresh and clean. Great and professional work.

I have posted significantly more poor reviews than great reviews simply because the customer experience is in short supply out there these days. Alberta Carpet Cleaning stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Haven't had such a good customer experience in a long time. From my Technicians Laben and Tim to Jennifer in the office. All so very professional, friendly and accommodating. They had to come back twice but were so good about it. There is something to be said for a company when their employees love their jobs and have been there a very long time. Highly recommended.

The whole experience was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I had arranged for furniture cleaning for my 91 year old Mom in Alberta… I live in BC. Jason, the technician called me prior to entering her building… we discussed what was to be done… and what our main concerns were. Immediately following their visit my Mom called and told me it was a wonderful experience and that Jason and Roberto were absolutely beautiful people!!! They were very kind, polite and caring towards my Mom… she felt it… and I was SO EXTREMELY GRATEFUL! Jason also called me immediately after the cleaning to let me know how the service went. I cannot express how grateful I am to have people who were kind, compassionate and truly cared about my Mom and her experience! I would highly recommend Alberta carpet cleaning! The customer service was absolutely outstanding! Thank you so much!
