I called with questions regarding cleaning a couch, the person that answered was awesome. Gave me a lot of information, good information. Unfortunately the type of material my couch is wouldn't benefit from the cleaning. But was very impressed with the information given during the call

Our pipes burst in the Feb 2021 storm and flooded our high end area carpet. We dried it out is what sun was available and took it to Austin Specialty Cleaners. They did a superb job in cleaning and it now looks almost like new. Service: Area rug cleaning
