Guilty! (but it will be OK)

DID YOU KNOW that the devastation of spilling something like grape juice, Kool-Aid, and other fruit drinks doesn’t have to be that… devastating? So you have kids, grandkids, or some other kids come over, and they want something to drink. They surely don’t want water from the tap. That’s pretty boring stuff. They want something fruity, sweet, and with lots of colors. Like deep blues, or reds. You know, the stuff that can really stain a carpet or piece of furniture. And the inevitable occurs. The kids enjoy what you give them, but after all, they are kids. So something gets spilled. For some weird reason, this never happens on a hard, tile floor. It happens right on the carpet. What to do? Step #1 First of all, don’t panic. Gather your senses and realize this isn’t the end of the world. Step #2 Start blotting. You want to use white cotton or paper towels, with no print or dyes, and blot – blot – blot! Most of any spotting or staining substance will come right out because the towel you are using is more absorbent than the carpet the drink was spilled on. Step #3 It may be appropriate, with some coaching from your carpet cleaning pro, to do some spotting. Use a spotting product, like a mild neutral detergent spotter, recommended by your carpet pro. Apply a small amount to the spot and keep blotting. Never scrub. Scrubbing can damage the carpet fibers and you can’t fix that. Keep blotting. Step #4 Did we say to keep blotting? Keep it up! You may need to apply a more approved mild detergent spotter. One thing you do not want to do is apply too much moisture, as that gets into the backing of the carpet and into the padding, creating additional problems. Step #5 Once the spot is gone, it’s time to dry the carpet. How to do this? Keep blotting, of course! But also aim a fan on the spot and let the air current remove more moisture. Is the spot still there? It may be a stain, very tough to remove. It is definitely now time to call your carpet cleaning pro! Best case scenario When anything happens, like spilling grape juice, red wine, mustard, or other tough-to-remove substances, call your carpet and furniture cleaning professional. He has what it takes to get the job done right the first time. Make that phone call, especially for pet “accidents.” Your carpet cleaning pro knows exactly what you need to keep your home spot and stain-free!

Just left us a 5 star review

I had purchased a Groupon coupon back in April. I spoke with Kevin around June and we talked about when I might want to do my cleaning, and he was very helpful. And then we made an appointment later for July. This is July 22, 2025 and the technicians have just left. I could not be happier. My carpet is nine years old, and has only been professionally cleaned once in that time, Over a year and a half ago. And the other company did not do nearly as good as cleaning. It looks great. It smells great. And they gave me a really good deal for the extra footage and the scotch guard protection. I would do business with this company again!!

My sofa and loveseat were expertly cleaned. It took about an hour and dried in about 8 hours. I'm very pleased.

The 2 gentlemen, Kevin & Hunter were extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I had them look at our laminateflooring as well and learned a great deal about cleaning and polishing (actually not polishing!) it. Very impressed with Bluegrass in this first experience! Great job!

The team that came today was great! They arrived on time, they worked quickly and efficiently, the results were fantastic, and the quote was reasonable. I was also able to schedule a same week appointment which was awesome! I’ll be using them again for sure.
