How we clean carpet, step by step
This page is for anyone with soiled or stained carpet, at home or at work. It covers how the cleaning works, how drying goes in our humidity, when water damage means cleaning won't help, and how often to clean.
Our method is hot water extraction. Shaw's carpet care guide notes that this is what people call steam cleaning, although no steam is actually generated.
Walk through
We note traffic lanes, stains, pet spots and loose seams before anything gets wet.
Vacuum and pre-treat
Dry soil comes out first, then spots and lanes get a pre-treatment. Pet accidents can reach the pad, so those spots get their own treatment and extraction.
Extract
Hot water extraction flushes soil out of the pile.
Rinse
Shaw warns that some cleaning systems leave residues that speed up re-soiling, so the carpet gets rinsed clean.
Set up for drying
Furniture goes on blocks and air gets moving across the carpet before we leave.

How long does carpet take to dry in New Orleans humidity?
Humid air slows drying, and damp carpet that stays wet too long can grow mold. Here's how to keep it on schedule.
Dry within 48 hours
EPA's mold guidance says water-damaged areas should dry within 24 to 48 hours.
Run the AC
EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, and air conditioning plus fans help a freshly cleaned carpet dry.
Stay off it
Keep foot traffic and furniture off until the carpet feels dry to the touch.
Check under raised homes
A crawl space should be dry, with a vapor retarder covering the ground. If a musty smell keeps coming back in a raised house, have the crawl space checked too.

How it works
When cleaning isn't enough: flood and leak water
After a storm or a burst pipe, cleaning may not save the carpet. EPA's guidance is direct about it.
- 01
Visible mold
EPA's flood cleanup guidance says to discard carpeting that shows visible signs of mold growth.
- 02
Wet more than 48 hours
The same guidance says items like these can't be salvaged, especially if they've been wet for more than 48 hours.
- 03
Hidden mold
EPA notes that mold can hide on the underside of carpets and pads, so we look under the carpet before quoting a cleaning.
- 04
Replacing it
If the carpet has to go, see our carpet installation service, and our carpet flooring page if you're weighing other floors.
How often should carpet be cleaned, and what affects the price?
Shaw's care guide says carpet in a typical household should be cleaned every 12 to 18 months, depending on the number of residents and how much activity it sees, and the Carpet and Rug Institute gives the same interval. Shaw's warranties also require proof of periodic hot water extraction, so keep your receipts.
- Size The number of rooms or the square footage.
- Stairs Steps take more time than open floor.
- Spot and pet treatment Heavy stains and urine spots need extra treatment.
- Furniture Moving and blocking heavy pieces adds time.
