Our 13 Step Carpet Cleaning Process

Before your carpet is cleaned please remove breakables and items from tables and other furniture that will be moved by our crew. Remove all small items such as boxes, magazines, shoes, etc. in the areas to be cleaned. Also, arrange for pets and children to be away from the area where we are cleaning.

STEP 1 — Pre-Inspection
Every great carpet cleaning experience starts with a proper pre-inspection. Our service technician will inspect you particular areas of concern as well as noting carpet construction and soiling conditions. He will also advise you of any possible permanent staining.

STEP 2 – Commercial Pre-Vacuum
The carpet needs to be pre-vacuumed, to remove as much dry soil as possible before we begin cleaning. Research shows that 78% of soil in a carpet is dry soil. Skipping this step will turn the soil into mud making it impossible to remove. Since we find that most people prefer to do this themselves, we offer this as an additional service. It is, however, an essential step in the cleaning process and we will be happy to do this for you.

STEP 3 – Property Protection
Your furniture will be protected from residual moisture by placing protective blocks and tabs. We will use corner guards to protect your corners from being scratched by the cleaning hoses. Also, an insulated wrap is place around the entrance door to keep the outside air – out. Disposable styrofoam blocks and tabs are place under the furniture to prevent rust and staining the carpet.

STEP 4 – Furniture Moving
Sofas, chairs and tables will be carefully moved. Under our Gold Package, we include up to 3 pieces per room/area. We will be happy to move additional pieces, but it may be subjected to additional charges. Items such as pianos, grandfather clocks, large entertainment/computer centers will be left in place under our normal pricing structure. We can move china/curio cabinets, if precious breakables are removed prior to our arrival. Furniture will be protected with disposable blocks and tabs.

STEP 5 – Pre-Condition/Deodorizer
Specially formulated pre-conditioning agents and deodorizers, that work much the same as a laundry pre-soak, are applied to the carpets to lubricate and break down soils and oils to assure maximum soil removal.

STEP 6 - Pre-Spot
For difficult spots, we carry over 10 specialty spotters. If a spot can come out, we will get it out.

STEP 7 – Rotary Jet Extraction
This is a new state of the art carpet restorative tool. It implements hot water extraction in a rotary/circular motion to more thoroughly clean all sides of the fibers. We apply this tool to the heavy trafficked areas to melt away the embedded soils and restore the surface and texture of the carpet.

STEP 8 – Extract & Rinse
Loosen suspended soils will be quickly flushed away out of your carpet and your home into our state-of-the-art truck-mounted hot water extraction system. Pressure and heat are regulated so that the carpet is not over-wet. Carpets will be left clean, bright, and spring fresh.

STEP 9 – Neutralize/pH Balancing
To achieve maximum soil removal with the very least amount of residue, we apply the use of rinsing solutions. Most cleaning agents are alkaline due to most soils being acid in nature. To prevent leaving alkalinity in the carpet, a soapy residue which attracts soils, we use an acid rinse to pH balance your carpet. This will leave your carpet residue free, and feeling soft – instead of crisp and crunchy.

STEP 10 – Post-Spot Treatment
If any spots are not removed during the cleaning process, specialty spotting techniques are employed. Note: Permanent stains identified by our service technician may not be removed.

STEP 11 – Speed Dry
While we are cleaning, we will employ additional extraction strokes to get maximum moisture removal. When necessary, we will place turbo air movers for faster drying.

STEP 12 – Post-Inspection
Please walk through your home or business to inspect our work. Let us know that you are pleased by signing our service reciept.

STEP 13 – Final Finishing
A professional brush will be used to assist in restoring the fluff and texture of the carpet pile. This also assists in drying and gives the carpet a beautiful groomed, finished look!
