We had such a great time at the Tennessean's "Toast of Music City" awards reception in September! Thank you to our friends, family, and customers that voted so faithfully for us. 

While we didn't win, second place is nothing to sneeze at!

We were thrilled to be in the same room as so many other business who work  hard to keep Nashville a great place. Many of those businesses were small, independent businesses like ours, too!  Thank you so much!

You have several choices when it comes to cleaning your carpet. Namely, hiring a professional or doing it yourself. Shaw Floors says “Professional carpet cleaners are a great choice for your floor. Their cleaning equipment has more extraction power than the rental units available to individuals, and the carpet should dry more quickly. True professionals also understand the equipment, know the proper cleaning agents for the situation at hand, and recognize the differences in fibers and carpet construction.”

Other reasons to hire a professional:

• Most carpet warranties require that your carpet be professionally cleaned every 18-24 months.
• When you rent a cleaning machine you risk using excess detergent or water, potentially damaging your carpet.
• A professional can clean your carpet in a fraction of the time that it would take for you to do it yourself.
• A professional also knows how to adjust their cleaning methods depending on the carpet type.

Taylor Home Solutions uses a “hot water extraction” method of cleaning that is recommended by most carpet manufacturers. Hot water extraction, also known as “steam cleaning,” uses hot water and solutions to loosen and extract dirt and allergens from your carpet.  Before the hot water extraction begins, we use a pretreament to help emulsify the soil in the backing of your carpet and break down the stains in the fibers.  Additionally, we use a deep scrub method to bring the soil to the surface of the carpet for complete extraction.

Those online discount coupons are tempting! Pay just $5 for $25 worth of pizza! You can take an online class for just $30! But what about home services? Do you know what's a good deal and what's not? Here are some things to consider before clicking "purchase" on one of those sites!

First, what is the company's reputation? You can be sure that if they've done one of these deals before, there are online reviews written about them. Start with Yelp ( and check out our reviews while you are there!) and the Better Business Bureau!

Second, what is included in the cost of the coupon? Is it two rooms of carpet cleaning? What if you want three cleaned? Does it include stain removal? Make sure there aren't any extra charges hidden from you. And make sure they'll honor the voucher even if you do not wish to add on services.

Next, how do their prices compare to the regular prices of other companies? You still need to shop around for prices! In several cases, the regular prices of other companies are still more affordable than the "discounted" ones.

Finally, make sure you know how soon you can get an appointment. You'll be competing with everyone else who has purchased that same coupon for their time. 

There are many legit deals out there! But, like any other purchase, you need to do your homework before you make a decision. 

There are a few things to keep in mind before your carpet cleaning appointment. These will help your appointment go smoothly.

• Pick up the area you want cleaned: small toys, clothing, breakable items, papers, etc.
• Furniture Moving Policy.  Upon request, Taylor Home Solutions technicians will move and clean under items that can slide back and forth easily (sofas, chairs, end tables, night stands, etc.).  Please remove any items from the tops of those easily moved furniture pieces. We do not move electronics or large pieces of furniture (entertainment centers, china cabinets, dressers, etc.).  Any pieces of furniture moved will be placed on plastic or foam pads to protect the damp floors and the furniture.

Here’s what you can expect the day of your appointment.

• Your technician will call you on the way to your home to let you know they are on their way.
• When they arrive, they will introduce themselves at the door and have you show them the areas to be cleaned.
• Then they will write up an estimate and have you sign it before works begin.
• Your technician will then will setup equipment and begin work.
• Once finished, your technician will have you look over the work before accepting payment and heading onto the next happy home!
• It will take approximately 8-10 hours (depending on the humidity in your home) for the carpets to completely dry.​

We're always happy to answer questions, so feel free to call us at (615) 941-1388.
