General
How much does it cost?
Every home and every job is different, so we give free quotes instead of a price list. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form, tell us what needs cleaning, and we'll give you a quote before any work is booked.
Which cleaning method do you use?
Both hot water extraction and low-moisture VLM/encapsulation. Hot water extraction rinses deep and suits heavily soiled carpet. Low-moisture cleaning dries much faster and suits wool, commercial carpet and rooms you need back quickly. We choose the right one for your carpet.
How long does it take to dry?
After low-moisture cleaning, often within an hour or two. After hot water extraction, usually a few hours. Thick carpet and humid days take longer, and airflow helps.
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to let us in and do a quick walkthrough at the start. After that you can go about your day.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Moses' Cleaning Service LLC is licensed and insured, and we can send a certificate of insurance for property managers and HOAs.
Are the products safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use non-toxic cleaning solutions. Keep kids and pets off damp areas until they're dry.
Which areas do you serve?
Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda and San Francisco counties, including San Jose, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Redwood City, San Mateo, Fremont and San Francisco. Not sure if we cover you? Call and ask.
Do you clean homes and businesses?
Yes. We clean homes, apartments, offices, retail spaces and HOA common areas.
How do I get a quote?
Call (669) 335-6110, chat with our assistant, or fill out the quote form and add photos if you can. Photos help us quote accurately.
Carpet Cleaning
How much does carpet cleaning cost?
Every carpet job is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on the size of the area, how soiled it is, stairs, and which method suits your carpet. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
What's the difference between hot water extraction and low-moisture cleaning?
Hot water extraction sprays hot cleaning solution into the carpet and pulls it back out with strong suction, which rinses deep. Low-moisture VLM and encapsulation uses very little water and a cleaning agent that wraps the dirt so it vacuums away. It dries much faster. Some carpets do best with one, some with the other.
How long until I can walk on it?
After low-moisture cleaning, often within an hour or two. After hot water extraction, usually a few hours, longer for thick carpet or humid days. Airflow helps either way.
Will old stains come out?
Most do. Some, like bleach spots or old drink dyes, have changed the color of the fiber itself. We'll tell you at the walkthrough which ones should come out.
Area & Oriental Rug Cleaning
How much does rug cleaning cost?
Every rug is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on the size, the fiber, how soiled it is, and whether it's cleaned on site or picked up. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
Do you pick up and deliver rugs?
Yes. When a rug is better cleaned off site, we pick it up, clean it and bring it back. Ask about it when you call.
Can you clean silk rugs?
Yes, with a very gentle method, and we always test first.
Will the colors run?
That's what the dye test is for. If a rug isn't colorfast, we change the method before touching it.
Upholstery Cleaning
How much does upholstery cleaning cost?
Every piece of furniture is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on the size, the fabric and how many pieces you have. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
How long does a sofa take to dry?
Usually a few hours, sometimes longer for thick cushions. We'll tell you when it's safe to sit on before we go.
Can you get cat urine out of a couch?
In most cases, yes. Urine needs an enzyme treatment that breaks it down, not a cover-up scent.
Do you clean leather?
Ask us when you call. It depends on the leather, and we'll tell you honestly if it's something we should take on.
Drapes & Curtain Cleaning
How much does drape cleaning cost?
Every set of drapes is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on how many panels, their size, the fabric and the lining. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
Do the drapes need to come down?
Usually not. Most drapes can be cleaned where they hang. We'll tell you if a fabric needs a different approach.
Will they shrink?
We check the fabric and lining first and use a method that won't shrink or spot them.
Tile & Grout Cleaning
How much does tile and grout cleaning cost?
Every tile job is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on the square footage, how dark the grout is, and whether you want it sealed. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
Can you make grout look new again?
Usually it comes back close to its original color. Grout that's cracked, missing or permanently stained may need regrouting, and we'll point that out.
Why seal grout?
Sealing slows down how fast dirt and water soak back in, so the clean result lasts much longer, especially in kitchens, entryways and showers.
Natural Stone Cleaning
How much does natural stone cleaning cost?
Every stone floor is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on the type of stone, the area, and whether it needs polishing and sealing. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
Can you remove dull spots on marble?
Etching from acidic spills can usually be improved with polishing. We'll look at it and tell you what to expect.
How often should stone be sealed?
It depends on the stone and how much traffic it gets. We'll recommend a schedule after we see it.
Wood Floor Cleaning
How much does wood floor cleaning cost?
Every floor is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on the square footage and the type of floor. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
Do you sand or refinish floors?
No. We clean floors only. Cleaning removes the dirt and buildup sitting on the finish, with no dust and no downtime.
Can you clean laminate and LVP?
Yes. Laminate and luxury vinyl plank get their own method with very little water, since water at the seams is what damages them.
Pet Stain & Odor Treatment
How much does pet odor treatment cost?
Every pet odor job is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on how many areas are affected and how deep the urine has soaked. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
Will the smell come back?
If urine reached deep into the padding, it can take a second treatment. We'll tell you at the start if that's likely.
Is the treatment safe for pets?
Yes. Keep pets off the area until it's dry, then they can go back to normal.
Commercial Cleaning
How much does commercial cleaning cost?
Every commercial space is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on the square footage, the surfaces, and how often you want service. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
Can you work after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are normal for commercial jobs.
Do you offer regular service?
Yes. Monthly or quarterly visits keep high-traffic carpet from wearing out early. We'll suggest a schedule after the walkthrough.
Emergency / Urgent Cleaning
How much does emergency cleaning cost?
Every urgent job is different, so we quote it after hearing about yours. It depends on what happened, the area and how soon you need us. Call (669) 335-6110 or send a few photos through the quote form and we'll give you a free quote.
How fast can you come?

Do you handle flooding?
Call and tell us what happened. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a cleaning job we can take on.
