About these guides

Who writes them, where they apply, and what to do with a question they do not answer.

Who writes the LocalPro guides?

The LocalPro Carpet Cleaning team, drawing on what our technicians see in homes every day across our seven markets. The guides describe what we do and why, with no medical claims and no product pitches, and we update them when our process or our advice changes.

Do the guides apply in every LocalPro market?

Yes. They are written for a homeowner anywhere we work, from Tuscaloosa and Birmingham to Huntsville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, metro Atlanta and Charlotte, because the process, the dry time and the guarantee are the same in all seven.

What if my question is not covered in a guide?

Ask the office. Call or text 205-438-9096 or email support@localprocleaner.com, and a person who knows the process answers you. Questions that come up often become the next guide.

Satisfaction guaranteed on every visit.
