Top FAQs (short answers):
Q — How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?
A — For most households, every 12–18 months. If you have pets, kids, or heavy traffic, aim for every 6–12 months.
Q — My pet had an accident months ago. Can a pro remove the odor?
A — Long-standing urine saturations are tougher; seek specialists that offer pet-urine enzyme treatments and odor encapsulation. Restoration companies (like SteamDry/PhD in Clean) can combine cleaning with sub-floor drying or repairs if needed. Steamdry
Q — Can carpet be dyed after bleach stains or pet damage?
A — Yes — color correction and carpet dyeing are specialist services (this is what DyeGenie offers). For large spots or sun-faded areas, professional dyeing and blending can restore appearance. [Call out and link to DyeGenie Milwaukee service page].
