Yes! Anywhere with an electrical outlet and water source. We are fully equipped with commercial grade portable equipment. 

Mostly. 

Smells that are coming from the carpet pad or sub-floor are impossible to reach without removal. Occasionally we work with carpenters to clean the underside of the carpet and pad, but it is usually most economical to seek replacement at this point. Common causes of this type of severe damage include: flood, animal neglect or house abandonment. That being said, our enzyme cleaner and standard formula can fix the vast majority of smelly situations. 

Stains that are caused by food, dirt and feces are surprisingly easy to remove with our equipment. Paint, nail polish and actual carpet damage due to wear and/or burns are the most difficult or even impossible imperfections to remedy. Take care of your carpet, clean it regularly (6 months to a year) and apply scotch-guard to protect your carpet before the damage is irreversible.
