Questions about this clean

How long does a deep clean take?

It depends on the home and how much hair there is. The estimate gives the crew size and hours before you confirm.

Should I book one in spring?

Many dog owners do. Coats blow in spring and fall, so those months fill first.

Is the first visit a deep clean?

Often, yes. Then the recurring clean keeps it there.
