Poseidon Dry Carpet Cleaning

Carpet Cleaning, Upholstery Cleaning, Floor Cleaning and Waxing,

About us

Hi, this is Cal Smith and I have been in business since 1970, and have been dry cleaning residential and commercial carpets with Dry Compound Extraction for over 20 yrs. This revolutionary system is the most effective method of carpet cleaning you have ever seen -- at any any price. It will remove red wine and food stains, grease spots, pet stains and odors, blood, urine and vomit. Dry extraction will dramatically reduce dust mites, mold, bacteria, pollution, lead dust, viruses, pollen, cat and dog dander, oils, hair and saliva residue. Regular carpet cleaning is recommended by the EPA to reduce toxins and allergens in the indoor environment. I've been trained in the country's premier carpet cleaning school. My technicians have been personally trained by me to provide the safest, healthiest, most thorough carpet cleaning possible.

Description of Work: We had a large water main leak in our basement. A large amount of the carpet was drenched. I called the service provider in the afternoon and they were able to come the same evening. The owner was responsive when I had a question and a minor concern. He opted to respond to my concern and send the crew out again because I was worried that the carpet wasn't drying quickly enough. After a few days, everything was fine and the basement was back to normal. The price was good.

Description of Work: They did an excellent job, with both the carpet and tile floors. They spent about 8 hours and left everything spotless. We were very impressed since our carpets had not been cleaned in a number of years and our tile floors had never been cleaned. My bathroom tile looked brand new and our kitchen floor look awesome too!!

Description of Work: Cleaned carpets in eight rooms, including a large family room and large master bedroom, plus stairs and hallway. Large area, very efficient, took about four hours, but was almost immediately dry. Carpets look significantly better after the cleaning, including some tough pet stains gone. It has been over a month now and stains are not reappearing. Very impressed by Poseidon's dry cleaning technique!

Description of Work: I have used Poseidon for the past two years wanting to go with a dry cleaning rather than a wet cleaning. I only had them do the high traffic areas of my two bedroom condo plus the entire living room. They arrived ahead of the scheduled time which is excellent. The guys were very professional, courteous and efficient. The carpet both times looked great! I am using them again this May 2014 to do a thorough cleaning of the entire condo as I am moving out. Tammy in the office is great. Very responsive. I cannot say enough about them. Excellent service, excellent product and I would recommend them over any other company out there.

They arrived on time and did this job. They were very thorough. I am very pleased with the results. Some of the carpeting, especially the stairs, is off white and a high traffic area, and they got this cleaned really well. So for 16 year-old carpet it now looks very good. There was a spot in the living room that was still wet, and I called them the next day, and they came out and dealt with it effectively. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: They cleaned wall to wall carpeting in my house. This would be 8 rooms, a staircase and hallway.

I have used Poseidon many times, after they were recommended to me by someone who sold me my carpet. This is a fabulous company. They are responsive and thorough, and really stand by their work. It seems like they can get out almost anything. The only thing they could not help me with was when my painter dripped interior paint on the carpet and Cal himself called me to tell me that the chemicals they would have to use to try to get that out would be too toxic. I really appreciated his concern about the toxicity and was really impressed that he called himself. I have only wonderful things to say about Tammy and Cal and all the workers who have come to my house. I feel totally comfortable leaving them alone in my house, they get out odors and spots that I thought would never come out, and I just feel very good about everything about them. Additionally, they are very generous with sharing "secrets" to help customers get out spots in between cleanings. You really have to love this company!
Description of Work: They have cleaned most of the carpets in my house. I have used them for a few years.

I have had them clean my carpet several times. They are very trustworthy and have done a good job cleaning my carpet. I had them clean up after my daughter's birthday party. They removed blobs of paint left in my carpet after the party. Also the receptionist is always nice and pleasant when I call.

We had our living room, a short flight of stairs, a hallway, and two bedrooms cleaned. Two technicians did the work. They came early and they had to wait because I wasn't ready. They were very professional. They explained what they were going to do. They got the work done in about two hours. I especially liked that their technique involves brushing the carpets with a rake that brings up the nap. A week later the carpet still looks as good as when they came. They did an excellent job. I think this is the best carpet cleaning that I have ever had done. They are a dry cleaning carpet company and I was able to walk on the carpet about two hours after they left. The contact person, Tammy, was very informative, very polite and friendly. She even sent me via email a "recipe" of a secret spot removal formula. The price was actually less than the estimate.
Description of Work: I asked them to do a deep cleaning on my carpets because it has urine stains from my dog and hasn't been cleaned for three years.

Cal Smith returned my phone message and went into great detail about the dry carpet cleaning process he uses, giving me ample time to ask questions and making sure I understood the procedures that would occur. He accommodated my schedule, the technician arrived on time and was friendly and professional. He lightly sprayed a mixture on the soiled areas of the carpeting, then sprinkled a sawdust-like substance on the areas, then the cleaning process began. I felt comfortable leaving the technician working alone in my house when I had to leave for an unexpected appointment. I returned to clean carpets. Even the worst spot had been almost completely obliterated, barely visible and probably only to me.
Description of Work: One flight of stairs, one long hallway and one large master bedroom carpet were cleaned.

They were very responsive and nice. They dry clean the carpet, so you can walk on it right away. They do a fantastic job and I have used them several times before. The carpets look fantastic and smell great. They arrive on time, are clean and thorough. I don't have to worry about trying to keep my kids off of wet carpets, because they are dry. I also don't have to worry about my kids getting respiratory problems caused by mold or other things to do with wet carpets.
Description of Work: They cleaned two carpets, one in family room and one bedroom with a dry solution. They moved all furniture and put it back when they were done.
