The Basics of Steam Cleaning
Continental’s residential carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning services utilize hot water extraction or “Steam Cleaning” to remove deep-seated dirt, debris, stains, and odors from your carpeting and upholstery. We start by spraying the surface with piping hot water and a commercial-grade cleaning solution. We then use our high-powered, hand-held and/or truck-mounted equipment to thoroughly remove the water, dirt, and detergent — providing a deep-cleaning you can’t get with home machines.
Over-wetting a carpet can cause the carpet to discolor, shrink, or pull away from the floor. Our skilled technicians know how to remove stains and spots without over-wetting the carpet or leaving behind a sticky residue that acts as a dirt magnet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I use professional carpet cleaning services?
To keep your carpets looking and performing well for as long as possible, they should undergo a deep-cleaning every 12 – 18 months, even if you vacuum regularly. If your carpet experiences high traffic or the wear and tear of pets and children, you may want to get it professionally cleaned more often. The frequency of cleaning is often a condition of many warranties – be sure to read your warranty information carefully in order to follow the required schedule.
How much does professional carpet cleaning cost?
The cost of our residential carpet cleaning service varies depending on the size of the area, the carpet type, and whether stain removal is required. In addition, the use of “green” solutions may add to the final cost. However, the cost of professional cleaning is minimal compared to the cost of carpet replacement.
I scheduled my appointment. What do I need to do prior to the technician’s arrival?
To get the best results from our professional carpet cleaning services, you’ll need to avoid staining or rusting from furniture that comes into contact with wet carpeting. Therefore, all furniture should be removed from the rooms that will be cleaned.
For furniture that cannot be removed from the room, we can either clean around it (e.g. large items such as beds, dressers, large or heavy sofas, treadmills and other exercise equipment, etc.) or place foam blocks or foil-backed cardboard squares under the item (e.g. coffee tables, dining room chairs and table legs, loveseats and small sofas).
Make sure to remove all items from on top of any furniture that cannot be removed from the room. Also, remove any items from the floor (e.g. plants, toys, pet beds, etc.). Finally, be sure to vacuum all areas that are going to be cleaned.
How long will it take for my carpet to dry after cleaning?
Because a professional carpet steam cleaner is more powerful than other steam cleaners, it can remove more water than other machines and, therefore, carpets will dry faster. We typically recommend that you allow your carpets to dry for X hours before walking on them in order to avoid flattening the fibers. If you must walk on the carpets while they are still damp, we recommend wearing light-colored cotton socks.
You may speed up the drying process by using a fan to circulate the air.
