Carpet Cleaning: the questions worth asking

Which certifications apply to carpet and upholstery cleaning?

CCT (Carpet Cleaning Technician), UFT (Upholstery and Fabric Cleaning Technician), and RCT (Rug Cleaning Technician) for in-plant work on area and specialty rugs.

Is a carpet cleaning certification enough for water damage work?

No. Cleaning credentials describe cleaning training. A firm holding only CCT has no verified structural drying or microbial remediation training, and our profiles show the difference rather than letting the word certified stand on its own.

Answers reference the IICRC S500 and S520 standards and each state's own licensing statutes. We publish no cost estimates and no ratings — we hold no verified source for either. How we verify →
