Comparing Clean! Carpet Cleaning Quote Comparison Guide

When shopping for carpet cleaning, it can be tempting to compare quotes based on price alone. But not every cleaning company includes the same services, uses the same equipment, or delivers the same level of care.

That’s why we created the guide below: to help you compare your Modernistic quote to others – apples to apples. Before you schedule, make sure you know what’s included, what questions to ask, and what kind of service you can expect.

WHAT TO ASK BEFORE YOU BOOK

Questions Every Homeowner Should Ask a Carpet Cleaning Company

What Cleaning Method Do You Use?

Many companies use portable machines that simply cannot match the heat, suction, and cleaning power of truck-mounted hot water extraction.

Modernistic uses professional truck-mounted hot water extraction with water heated to over 200 degrees to help break down deep-down dirt, oils, allergens, and buildup hiding in your carpet.

Ask:

  • Is your system truck-mounted or portable?
  • How hot does the water get?
  • How strong is the extraction power?
  • Will my carpets dry properly afterward?

Are There Hidden Fees?

Some companies advertise low prices but charge extra for:

  • Spot treatments
  • Moving furniture
  • Hallways
  • Heavily soiled areas
  • Stairs
  • Larger rooms

Modernistic believes in transparent pricing with no surprises.

Ask:

  • Are spot treatments included?
  • Is furniture moving included?
  • Are there extra fees for heavily used areas?
  • What could increase my final invoice?

What Counts as a “Room”?

One company’s “3 rooms” special may only cover tiny spaces.

Modernistic considers rooms up to 300 square feet as one room, helping customers get more value from their cleaning.

Ask:

  • What is your room size limit?
  • How do you measure rooms?
  • Are hallways or stairs included?

Are Your Technicians Certified?

Your carpet is one of the largest filters in your home, trapping dirt, allergens, bacteria, pet dander, and everyday grime. Professional training matters.

Modernistic technicians are professionally trained and certified to follow industry-recommended cleaning standards.

Ask:

  • Are your technicians certified?
  • Are they employees or subcontractors?
  • How long has your company been in business?

What Happens If I’m Not Happy?

Not every company stands behind their work.

Modernistic backs every service with our 100% Customer Delight Guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with any part of your cleaning, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional cost.

Ask:

  • Do you guarantee your work?
  • What happens if spots come back?
  • Will you return if I’m unhappy?

“Absolutely amazing! The crew was on time, professional, and friendly! They were so sweet. I honestly couldn’t recommend them more. Getting my grandfather’s carpet cleaned, I was so worried about it but they really knocked it out of park and made it feel like it was no big deal. I can’t wait to use this company again!”
Kelsey, Troy, MI
“I just purchased my first new home. My sons and I are allergic to cats, previous owners had two. I got same day service and the job was done within 25 mins of me booking via phone. Took about 30 mins! The guys were fast, service was sufficient and on time! I will definitely use Modernistic again. Highly recommend.”
Asante L., Brownstown Township, MI
“The Technician was on time, courteous and did a great job with our carpet and furniture. She spent extra time on spots and followed up with me throughout the cleaning process. I continue to use Modernistic because of their great staff and would highly recommend them to friends and family.”
Ginger E., Troy, MI
“Had a very pleasant experience with Modernistic with regards to cleaning my living room carpet after several pet stains. I was able to schedule an in-home appointment within 3 days and was given a 5 hour window. Devon and his assistant showed up at the beginning of the window and were very efficient and professional. I would definitely use them again! Highly recommend.”
Hailey B., Berkley, MI

Carpet Cleaning Questions? We’ve Got You.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Most cleaning experts recommend vacuuming your home once weekly if you have rugs or carpeting. If your home has hard floors, you might have to do it less frequently—but still regularly. 

If you have pets with fur, you may need to vacuum more often, especially during seasons when they’re shedding their coats. Additionally, if you have young children at home, extra cleanings during the week may be necessary. 

 

While you certainly can, be cautious. We don’t recommend over-the-counter cleaning solutions, which can ultimately do more harm than good. When it comes to units you rent from the store, they don’t come close to providing the vacuum lift our cleaning units do. Our technicians have access to a spot-treating arsenal and 20 times the power of a typical rental cleaning unit—so we’ll help you get the job done right.

No, you don’t need to be home while the Modteam is cleaning your carpets. If you have errands you need to run, you need to be in the office, or if you wish to be away from home for any reason, we offer contact-free service for your convenience.

 

Yes! We encourage you to take advantage of our air duct cleaning services first. That way, our air duct crew won’t walk all over your freshly cleaned carpet. If you choose to schedule both services for the same day, our air duct crew will arrive in the morning and the carpet cleaning crew will arrive in the afternoon.

Like any company, Modernistic cannot guarantee that every spot will disappear during the cleaning process. Some can become permanent. Our technicians carry an arsenal of powerful spot removers to address even the toughest spots. Please note any areas of concern when you schedule your appointment, and our crews will pay special attention to these areas.

The truck-mounted hot water extraction method is the #1 carpet cleaning method recommended by major carpet manufacturers. This professional steam cleaning technique provides a deep, thorough clean that restores carpets to like-new condition. Modernistic exclusively uses this method for all residential carpet cleaning, delivering consistent, high-quality results.

Spring and fall are ideal for carpet cleaning because these seasons typically follow high-traffic periods and allow carpets to dry quickly in moderate temperatures. However, carpets can be professionally cleaned any time your home needs it.

Rugs are cleaned using specialized equipment that lifts dirt and stains while protecting delicate fibers. Modernistic uses truck-mounted hot water extraction, commonly known as steam cleaning.

High-traffic areas and homes with pets or allergies benefit from professional cleaning every 6–12 months. Even less-used rugs should be cleaned periodically to maintain freshness and longevity.

Carpets are safe to walk on immediately after cleaning. To keep them pristine, we recommend wearing a clean, white sock to avoid transferring dirt or oils from your feet. Be cautious when stepping from wet carpet to hard surfaces to prevent slipping. Carpets will typically be fully dry within 8–12 hours.

Regular vacuuming, immediate spot treatment, and placing rugs at entryways can extend the life of your carpet.

While we cannot guarantee 100% odor removal, our team has many tools in their arsenal to tackle even the toughest odors. We offer specialized deodorizing treatments that help neutralize odors caused by pets, spills, and everyday wear.

Absolutely. Deep cleaning removes dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens trapped in carpets, improving indoor air quality and reducing allergy symptoms. Modernistic also offers an Anti-Allergen Treatment, an environmentally safe solution, available for an additional cost.
