Our Truck-Mounted Steam Cleaning Process
Rick’s Family Carpet Care uses professional truck-mounted steam cleaning in the greater Tacoma-Pullyup area, which is the gold standard recommended by carpet manufacturers worldwide.
- Our truck-mounted system extracts 95% more dirt, allergens, and contaminants from deep within your carpet fibers, not just the surface.
- Our system heats water to 230 degrees, which effectively kills bacteria, dust mites, and allergens while breaking down stubborn stains.
- Portable units simply can’t reach these temperatures, leaving your carpets sanitized in name only.
- Thanks to our powerful extraction, your carpets dry in just 4-6 hours, not the 24-48 hours typical with weaker systems.
- Our cleaning products are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and safe for children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Cleaning
How long does carpet cleaning take?
Most residential carpet-cleaning services take 20-45 minutes per area, depending on the size and condition of the area. A typical 3-room home takes about 1-1.5 hours, while a whole-house cleaning might take 2-3 hours. Commercial projects vary based on square footage. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we provide your estimate.
How long until carpets are dry after steam carpet cleaning?
With our truck-mounted carpet cleaning system, carpets are typically dry to the touch in 4-6 hours and fully dry within 12 hours. This is significantly faster than portable machines or rental units, which can leave carpets damp for 24-48 hours. Faster drying means you can get back to normal life sooner and reduces the risk of mold or mildew. We recommend opening windows and running fans to speed drying, and avoiding walking on carpets until they’re completely dry.
Do I need to vacuum before you arrive?
Light vacuuming beforehand is helpful but not required. Our pre-cleaning process includes removing loose dirt and debris. However, if your carpets are heavily soiled with surface dirt, vacuuming first allows us to focus our deep carpet cleaning efforts on embedded soil and stains rather than surface debris.
Can you remove pet stains and odors from carpets?
Yes! Pet stain carpet cleaning is one of our specialties. We use enzyme-based treatments that break down urine crystals and organic matter at the molecular level. For severe pet odor issues, we offer specialized treatments that penetrate padding and subfloors. While we can’t guarantee removal of every stain (some may have permanently altered carpet dyes), our success rate is excellent, and we’ll always give you an honest assessment.
Do you move furniture?
Yes, we include moving and replacing most furniture as part of our carpet cleaning service at no additional charge. We’ll move sofas, chairs, coffee tables, and other movable items. However, we ask that you remove small items, breakables, and electronics beforehand. Very heavy furniture (pianos, entertainment centers, dressers full of clothes) and items we cannot safely move will be cleaned around.
How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?
Carpet manufacturers typically recommend professional deep carpet cleaning every 12-18 months for average households. However, how often you need carpet cleaning depends on several factors:
- High-traffic homes or those with pets: Every 6-12 months
- Families with allergies or asthma: Every 6-9 months
- Light traffic, no pets: Every 18-24 months
- Commercial spaces: Quarterly to annually, depending on traffic
Regular professional cleaning extends carpet life, maintains warranty coverage, improves indoor air quality, and keeps your home looking its best.
