Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Hammond, Indiana?

What factors affect carpet cleaning pricing?
Carpet cleaning prices depend on square footage, number of rooms, soil level, carpet condition, and any specialty treatments needed. Heavily soiled carpets, pet stains, or delicate fibers may require additional time and specialized products. We evaluate all these factors during our free consultation to give you an accurate, transparent price.
Are there extra charges for stain removal?
Basic stain treatment is included in our standard carpet cleaning service, with specialty treatments available for stubborn stains. Difficult stains like permanent marker, rust, or old pet accidents may require additional products or techniques at a modest extra cost. We'll always discuss any additional charges before proceeding.
Do you offer any carpet cleaning discounts or specials?
Yes, we offer seasonal promotions and multi-room discounts for carpet cleaning services in Northwest Indiana. Senior citizens and repeat customers often qualify for special pricing. Call us at (219) 933-1019 to ask about current specials or mention where you found us for potential discounts.
What carpet cleaning method does Ajax Carpet Service use?
We use hot water extraction (steam cleaning), which is recommended by major carpet manufacturers including Shaw, Mohawk, and Karastan. This method deep-cleans carpet fibers, removes embedded dirt, allergens, and bacteria without leaving behind sticky residue. It's the most effective method for maintaining your carpet's warranty and appearance.
How long does professional carpet cleaning take?
Most homes take 1-3 hours for professional carpet cleaning, depending on size and condition. A typical 3-bedroom home usually takes about 2 hours. Heavily soiled carpets or those requiring extra stain treatment may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?
Most carpets dry within 6-12 hours after professional cleaning with our powerful extraction equipment. We remove approximately 95% of the moisture during the cleaning process. Opening windows, running ceiling fans, or using air conditioning can speed up drying. We recommend waiting until carpets are completely dry before walking on them in shoes or replacing furniture.
